The boy who approached Ziel and the others was a demon race. He was the Prince of the Demon Kingdom, Viron Parphial. He had a handsome face and an athletic body. The academy students had seen him with King Redis when they had breakfast in the garden behind the castle before. Prince Viron didn't come alone to that place. He was with his sister, Irene Parphial, and several demon race boys who looked like his subordinates. They arrogantly walked up to Clara and her group. Among them, only Princess Irene looked humble.

"Who are you?

" Sintaro narrowed his eyes at Prince Viron. He was annoyed by his words. On the other hand, the other heroes became wary because the demon race man knew their identity.

"He is Prince Viron, and next to him is Princess Irene. They are the Prince and Princess of the Demon Kingdom.

" Princess Rinne introduced them first before Prince Viron could answer. King Raghnall had told Princess Rinne about them beforehand and asked her to be warier of them.

"Ahaha… I thank Princess Rinne for bothering to introduce us.

" Prince Viron and his men walked closer to where the heroes had lunch.

"Brother! Let's go from here! We can't interfere with their lunchtime.

" Princess Irene said worriedly and pulled Prince Viron's sleeve.

"You don't have to worry, Irene. We just happened to pass by this place as we were looking for a place to have lunch. Ooh, so many beautiful girls here!

" Prince Viron ignored Princess Irene's words. When he took a closer look at the people in the place, his eyes opened wide after seeing the collection of beautiful girls sitting there.

"You're right, Prince! I rarely see girls as beautiful as them other than Princess Irene.

" One of his men spoke after hearing Prince Viron's words. He knew Prince Viron was interested in one of the girls in front of him, or maybe all of them. So this is his chance to lick him.

Princess Irene is no less beautiful than the Princesses in that place. She has an oval face and small lips. Her long purple hair looks mysterious when exposed to the sun. Not to mention the pair of small horns on her head add to her cuteness.

"I'm sorry if I bothered you. But, may we join you in this place?

" Prince Viron smiled broadly. He suddenly became friendly and dispelled his previous hostility.

"Please sit wherever you want as long as you don't get too close to this place!

" Princess Reina snorted and immediately refused his request.

"Ooh, what have I done not to be able to sit close to you?

" Prince Viron frowned at the blatant hostility that Princess Reina was showing him.

"You're ruining my appetite! Is that reason enough? Now you better get out of my sight!

" Princess Reina grew annoyed with his attitude. If she couldn't suppress her anger, maybe she had drawn her sword since Prince Viron came. Prince Viron was the type of demon race she hated the most.

"Ahaha.... spicy and beautiful! I like it! I like it! Okay. I'll have lunch some distance from this place to not bother you. But before that, may I have the honor of knowing the names of the girls here?

" Prince Viron laughed and looked at the girls one by one. He especially looked at Lilith, who had the same hair color as the demon race. After waiting for quite a while, none of the girls introduced herself to him.

"Hahaha... you better get out of here right away because no one has any interest in someone like you!

" Sintaro laughed heartily at sight in front of him. He saw Prince Viron like a clown.

"You!

" Prince Viron became very angry after hearing Sintaro's laughter. He felt ashamed and humiliated that none of the girls in the place spoke to him. Moreover, Sintaro's laugh was like pouring saltwater on his wound. Right now, his pride as a prince of the Demon Kingdom was being trampled on by the human race. Some of his men also felt angry and waited for Prince Viron's orders to attack Sintaro.

"Brother! Stop it! We better get out of here right away! I don't want you to make a fuss! Don't you remember what Father said before we left!?

" Princess Irene became increasingly anxious and took King Redis's name to threaten Prince Viron.

After hearing what Princess Irene had said, Prince Viron's face suddenly turned pale. His father advised him not to make any unnecessary fuss before his father found the person who had humiliated him in front of many people this morning. If his father found out he was making a fuss, King Redis would not hesitate to punish Prince Viron.

"Tch! I understand! You guys are lucky this time!

" Prince Viron clicked his tongue and left Sintaro and the others. But then, they stopped and spread out the mats not far from where the heroes had lunch. It looks like Prince Viron still wants to keep an eye on them.

"Does he still insist on approaching the girls in this place?

" Hikaru sneered after seeing Prince Viron staring intently at them from where he had lunch.

"You'd better ignore him if he doesn't do anything to harm you first.

" Kalya reminds them. Hikaru and the others are students from the academy. They came to the beach to take a vacation together with people from the academy, including the teachers. Kalya as the only teacher there, was obliged to warn them.

"I understand, Miss Kalya.

" Hikaru smiled and quickly obeyed her words.

"Miss Kalya, may I ask you something?

" Megumi asks Kalya. Hikaru and the others averted their eyes out of curiosity about what Megumi wanted to ask her.

"Do you have a lover or a man you like?

" Megumi suddenly asked an unexpected question. Hikaru and the others turned their eyes towards Kalya and waited for her answer. Even Clara and Kyouka looked at her very seriously. Kalya didn't expect Megumi to ask such a question, but she decided to answer it.

"I already have a fiancé.

" Kalya smiles like a blooming flower and shows them the ring on her finger. They were mesmerized and stopped breathing for a while when they saw that smile.

"What!?

" They came back to their senses and were dumbfounded after recalling Kalya's answer. They didn't think that Kalya had a secret fiancé. Even Princess Aishia doesn't know that. She kept staring with fiery eyes at the ring on Kalya's finger. Then she turned her gaze and looked at Princess Freya for confirmation.

Princess Freya just shrugged her shoulders without answering anything. This made Princess Aishia even more confused. She decides to ask Kalya directly after their lunch is over.

The commotion due to Kalya's answer ended with the end of their lunch. The people from the academy already had a schedule for the barbeque on the beach in the evening. Because the day was still long, Clara and her group decided to continue their previous activities.

"Brother, what do you do after this?

" Princess Freya asked Prince Fritz.

"We still don't know what we're going to do next. How's Hikaru?

" Prince Fritz glanced at Hikaru next to him.

"Honestly, I don't know what we're going to do next either. I think I've had enough playing on this beach. If allowed, I'd like to go to see the beaches on the other islands.

" Hikaru also felt confused after they finished their lunch. Previously, he had intended to return to the castle and rest. However, he is interested in exploring the islands in the Cirlus Kingdom.

"I'll tell my father later. I think he'll agree to it.

" Princess Rinne answered Hikaru's wish.

"Thank you! I can't wait to see the beauty of other places in this kingdom!

" Hikaru became excited after hearing Princess Rinne's answer.

"Alright, how about we explore another part of the island for now? Don't we have any events until dinner time?

" Prince Albert gave his advice.

"That is a good idea. How about it, Freya? Do you want to come along?

" Prince Fritz agrees with Pince Albert's proposal. He wanted to invite Princess Freya to go with him.

"I'm sorry, brother. It looks like I'll have to decline your invitation. You can have fun with the others and not have to think about me.

" Princess Freya smiled apologetically. She thought it would be boring to go with them without Ziel coming with her. But she couldn't say that in front of Prince Fritz.

"Too bad, even though I want to spend vacation time with you too. Fine then, but you have to take good care of yourself.

" Prince Fritz smiled bitterly. He had another reason to ask Princess Freya to go with him. Many things made him curious, and he wanted to ask her directly.

"Hehe... I'm sorry, brother.

" Princess Freya smiled. She also knew his brother very well and knew his brother had other intentions of taking her. So she didn't mind his disappointment.

"I understand. How about you guys?

" Prince Fritz asked Clara and the other girls. He didn't glance at Ziel at all because he thought Ziel was just a butler and would follow his master wherever Clara went.

"Oh, I'm sorry. I guess I'll have to decline your invitation too. We will be with Freya here.

" Princess Iris' answer represents all the girls there.

"Then, I entrust my sister to you. Shall we go now, Hikaru?

" Prince Fritz shrugged his shoulders. He still invites the girls even though he knows they will refuse him.

"Hmm... let's go now.

" Hikaru felt a little disappointed that the girls had refused their invitation. Apart from him, Sintaro and the other heroes were also expecting to go with them, especially Kyouka. She planned to find an opportunity to ask Ziel without anyone else bothering her. But the plan was ruined because they refused the invitation.

"Wait a minute...why do you guys look in such a hurry to leave?

" Prince Viron suddenly approached them again. He stopped Hikaru and others who were about to leave that place.

"What do you want?

" Princess Reina frowned. She had calmed down before but became irritated again by Prince Viron's presence.

"Ahaha... please don't be angry, beautiful lady. I came here to say hello to the heroes and ask for their favor.

" Prince Viron smiled at them. He had a look of no malice on his face at all. But Hikaru and the other heroes don't believe him.

"You don't have to beat around the bush! Quickly say what you want from us!?

" Sintaro spoke in a high tone because he was annoyed to see him keep talking.

"I just wanted to do a spar with the heroes. I don't want to fight with all the heroes. I want to fight with the two of you.

" Prince Viron declared his true intention to approach them again.

"Brother! What are you doing!? Have you forgotten the warning from father!?

" Princess Irene panicked after hearing her brother's request. Unlike the rest of her family, she is a gentle and peace-loving demon race. She didn't like to make a fuss.

"You don't have to worry about that. Father will not scold me, let alone punish me. Isn't father also curious how strong the heroes from other worlds are? And also how far and how fast are they growing? I'm sure father will understand what I'm doing now.

" Prince Viron answered confidently. He was sure his father would never blame him for the current commotion.

"That is...

" Princess Irene was losing words because what Prince Viron said was true. She knew very well what his father was like.

"How? Do you dare? I won't force you. However, people would probably know that heroes from other worlds were a bunch of cowards.

" Prince Viron laughed provoking Hikaru and the other heroes. His words contained a threat that he would spread rumors that Hikaru and the other heroes were afraid of his invitation to sparring.

"You dare to do that!

" Sintaro can no longer suppress his emotions. He intended to attack Prince Viron right then and there.

"Wait, Sintaro!

" Hikaru grabbed Sintaro's shoulder to stop him. Then he walked up to Prince Viron.

"Okay. I'll accompany you to sparring. But don't blame me if I accidentally beat you up.

" Hikaru glared at Prince Viron. At this moment, his eyes revealed a burning fighting spirit.

"Then we will see, who will beat up who..

" Prince Viron smirked evilly, thinking about the plan he had in mind.
