A/N: Happy New year 😉🩷

I walked through the hallway and reached the student council room. Only knocking three times, the door opened to reveal Aries.

He moved out of the way to let me in and I casually sat on the couch while closing my legs and then slanting it to the side a bit.

"So, you said that you wanted to talk. What may it be? " I asked, bringing a teacup to my mouth and taking a sip.

" U-uhm..err " He stuttered.

I stared at him and nodded, urging him to continue.

" I..would just like to discuss our student's welfare. " He blurted.

" Alright, if you'd like to know how the students from Crestbreeze have been doing, you may ask the professor in charge, Lady Freya. " I said.

" But I'd like to get it from you. "

"There..would be no difference? I am the one who has sent Lady Freya the reports. "

"Even so."

"..*sigh* Since you insist, everyone has been faring quite well. They are slowly adjusting to the academy and so far there are absolutely no fights." I said while smiling.

*Alarm*

"Euphie-chan, it's me Ryza. There is a fight that broke out between a student from Crestbreeze and Whytemoon from the Third years, Lady Freya asked me to tell you to asses the situation. We are at the west wing." it was a call using our school bracelet bands.

"I retract my statement, I will be leaving now. " I said and quickly left and appeared at the location.

" Oh wow, you're here already." Mara looked at me in surprise and smiled.

"Is that them?" I asked while pointing at the two students. The male student from Whytemoon was on the ground and a female student from Crestbreeze was on top of him, her fist gripping his collar.

"Yes." Ryza nodded her head.

I sighed and walked through the crowd.

"Lift " I chanted and water started floating toward the two students. The water turned into large hands and one gently pulled the woman up while the other pulled the other student.

I could already hear the professors coming so I had to make this quick.

"Now, what happened? " I asked both of them.

" This Shemale just hit me for no reason! " The male student yelled.

" No, that is not what happened. Not only did you insult us for training to be royal guards just because we are women, but you dare use grotesque words to describe our appearance?! And do not think that I did not feel your magic hand on my skin, you coward." The female student fumed.

" I- I did not! what lies are you spouting?! " He retorted.

"Let's quickly find out who's speaking the truth, shall we? " I gave my business smile.

" W-What are you talking about?"

With a wave of my hand, the security orbs from different places on the Academy grounds shot up. They were all of different shades of colors and the one that I needed was glowing and they all went back on while the orb that I needed floated to me.

I let the latest clip play and moved it to what happened right before hands were thrown. After listening to the clip that was loud for everyone to hear I turned around and crossed my arms while facing the male student.

"Is there anything that you would like to say to me? I am the Vice President of the Student Council at Crestbreeze Academy. You could certainly raise your concerns to me, most especially since you just mentioned that I am very lacking in all aspects." I asked him.

" T-There has to be a mistake. "

"There is no mistake here. Sir Cornelle. " Whytemoon Academy's secretary, Sir Valion Witton said.

I knew he was listening at the side, I was wondering when he was planning on showing up.

" Now, Lady Adrianna. How would you like to proceed with this?" I asked.

"Princess Euphemia." Valion raised his voice as a warning.

" I am not breaching any rules here, Sir Witton. " I said while staring at him.

She proudly stood up and took off her glove then slapped him in the face with it.

"I challenge you to a duel in the tournament. Let us see who truly is the weak one here." She glared at him.

The male student scoffed and laughed at her, " Fine. Challenge accepted. See you in the tournament, if you even get in." He then walked away.

"Hold it. " I stopped him.

He and his friends turned around and looked at me as if I was a bother..a pest.

"Will that be all?" I asked Lady Adrianna.

She nodded her head and walked in the opposite direction.

The male student raised his brow at me and smirked before turning around.

' Strymir, Siva. ' I called out.

' Yes, Euphemia-sama? ' they both stood at attention,

' Do what you want. ' I waved.

' With pleasure~ '

The next thing I heard was an irritating girly voice screeching and a series of object breaking and even the sound of water gushing.

*chuckle* Ah~ I do love mortals, they are the cutest.

-Third Person's POV-

Euphemia was sitting on the chair inside a private office she requested from the Emperor, She had returned from the Academy and was finalizing the applications from the students who were going to participate in each tournament and contest.

Aine sat on the side after serving her tea and Oliver stood at guard by the door.

*knock knock*

" You may come in."

" Euphemia-sama, Prince Perseus requests to meet with you," Oliver said.

Euphemia raised her head and her eyes formed into slits as her interest piqued. She allowed Perseus in and she asked for Aine and Oliver to wait outside until further orders.

He sat across her while she placed a teacup in front of him.

"What is so important that made you come visit me so late in the night?" She asked while taking a sip of her tea.

"I..w-would just like to have a conversation with you." He confessed, shyly.

He was never nervous against anyone's gaze, not even their own parents made him as nervous as he was now.

"A conversation? What do you mean by that?"

"A-a casual talk between us..siblings."

"Alright then, what would you like to talk about?"

He looked up at her and was surprised that she agreed to talk with him. For a moment he thought that she had forgiven him for what he said the last time they met but then realized it was only because she lost her memories.

"Oh, um..how are you? I mean, was your time in Crestbreeze..pleasant?"

"..It was. I enjoyed myself a lot there, I didn't even want to come back here but alas, things happen for a reason. How about you? has everything been well here in the Palace and in Whytemoon?" She asked.

" Y-Yes, it has been.." He lied.

'Hm..he's lying isn't he?'

'He certainly is.' Siva nodded his head.

"I see, now tell me...what is your real reason for coming here?"

"...I'm sorry." He stood up and bowed.

Flabbergasted, Euphemia got up to stop him from bowing.

"What has gotten into you?? What do you mean??" She rushed while trying to get him to stand straight but he remained still.

"I said very horrible words to you last time. I cannot express how much I regret doing so. I know that I cannot turn back time, or even take back the words that have already been said but please know that I truly am regretful."

"I'm so sorry, Sister. Please..please forgive me. Mother..Father..brothers..they're all acting weird. I miss you sister.. " He cried on her shoulder.

She didn't utter a word but instead let him continue to cry on her shoulder while she patted his back. They both knew that she wasn't capable of replying because to her...he was a stranger.
