Victor's POV:

We all watched surreptitiously as Sang-chan stiffened and narrowed her eyes at Will Winchester, the Academy's heir.

Mere moments later she relaxed and complied with his request.

We stood there for a few moments, only observing as they walked away together. She, a respectful step behind him as he walked with his head held high.

"What the fucking hell was that?" North-kun asked.

"Yeah." Luke agreed, looking confused.

We were all worried about her. Not that Will-sama would do her any warm, because we knew he wouldn't, but the fact that he was escorting a servant to her quarters was decidedly strange and put us in high alert immediately.

Who was she to him?

What was he to her?

Did they know each other?

"The boy's actions are certainly... unprecedented, but I am sure he has his reasons." Blackbourne-san stated.

"Hummm... guys?" Kota-kun calls for our attention hesitantly, ensuring that we all focus on him.

His eyes were clouded with doubt and worry.

"I couldn't help but notice..." He began, pausing after a few words.

Blackbourne-san's eyes fixed demandingly at Kota "What did you see, Lee-kun?"

Kota-kun gulped before answering, "She kept looking at him during the ceremony." He said, his voice sounding quiet and subdued. "She also seemed shocked when she first caught sight of his face."

"What do you mean, Kota-kun?" I asked him, narrowing my eyes in concentration.

How could Princess know him?

I froze, shocked at my own thoughts. Why did I think of her as princess? She was just a servant.

But she didn't act like one.

Her movements were graceful and elegant, her manners and speech were those of a lady of great standing. She was clearly intelligent and by hearing her talk about her hobbies I knew that she'd studied a variety of subjects.

How had we not seen it before?

She was a servant but she didn't act like one.

Why? Who was she?

I was pulled out of my thoughts by my brothers continued ranting.

"Why the fuck would she wants anything to do with that snotty little brat?" Gabe-kun snorted in derision.

Wil was the heir to their clan, but the boy was never at home, choosing instead to "explore the world" as he often put it.

None of us liked him. He was lazy and reckless.

"Coleman-kun, language, please." Blackbourne-san scolded before turning back to Kota-kun. "And what do you mean, Lee-kun?"

Kota straightens his spine, pushing his shoulders back and fixing his glasses with a single finger. "I believe that she knows him. She kept staring at him with a confused expression on her face."

Luke laughs. "You are just being paranoid, Kota-kun. How could a servant from another clan know someone from such a high standing such as Wil-sama? You need to chill, man. Maybe you should join North on his meditations." Luke snickers until North slapped the back of his head.
