Kalya, Azalia and the other two had arrived in front of class A. They were waiting in front of the place because they didn’t want to disturb the students’ learning activities. Kalya’s eyes looked wet after faintly hearing her younger brother’s voice, whom she had not seen for a long time.

Not long after, the classroom door opened, and an elf race man with facial features similar to Kalya and Queen Jasmine came out from there. He is the younger brother of Queen Jasmine and Kalya, Zenoa Venetia.

“Seira? What are you doing here? Hmm..?” Zenoa saw Princess Seira first when he came out of the room. But then his expression changed drastically after turning his gaze to Kalya behind Princess Seira.

“Sister Leya? Is that you?” Zenoa said in disbelief.

“Of course it’s me. Haven’t you recognized your sister after a long time of not seeing each other?” Kalya smiled in response to her younger brother’s question.

“Sister Leya! Sister Leya! It turned out to be you!” Zenoa suddenly walks forward and hugs Kalya excitedly.

“Hey, you haven’t changed. Aren’t you ashamed that your students see you? You’re currently a homeroom teacher, aren’t you?” Kalya patted Zenoa’s back to remind him.

“Oh, yes. You are right. I forgot because I was too happy to see you again after so long.” Zenoa quickly let go of his embrace from his sister and kept his distance from Kalya. He looked around the area and heaved a sigh of relief that there was no one other than them in that place. Otherwise, his pride as the homeroom teacher of class A would fall when others saw him clinging like a child to his older sister.

“You should pay more attention to your attitude in the future, Zenoa. You can’t suddenly hug your sister like that. Especially if you do it in public.” Kalya smiled bitterly and warned Zenoa.

“Ahaha…you’re right. If he sees us like that, Brother-in-law can misunderstand, can’t he?” Zenoa laughed teasingly at Kalya.

“You… what are you saying!? Don’t talk nonsense in front of other people!” Kalya’s face turns red after hearing Zenoa’s words. She didn’t want to talk about Ziel right now because there was still Prince Viron in that place.

“Hehe… you don’t need to be embarrassed like that, sister. I already knew about your fiancé from the letter sister Jasmine had sent.” Zenoa smiled broadly at Kalya’s rare reaction. But he misunderstood his sister’s words. Kalya answered like that, not because she was embarrassed but because she didn’t want to talk about Ziel in such an open space.

“We don’t need to talk about that for now. I’m afraid someone will hear it and make her jealous.” Kalya tried to stop Zenoa from discussing Ziel further, and she glanced briefly at Azalia.

“You!” Azalia saw Kalya’s eyes looking at her when she said that. She is not stupid and knows that she is the person referred to in Kalya’s words. But Azalia decided to hold back because she didn’t want to make a fuss in front of a teacher.

/>(I’m jealous of a girl like you? No way! But…what is this bitter feeling in my heart? Is it possible that I’m jealous of her? No, no, no! Ken and I are just acquaintances, and we’re not necessarily friends. There’s no way I could have romantic feelings for him. That’s right! I couldn’t possibly fall in love with him!)

Azalia gritted her teeth and strongly denied Kalya’s words in her mind. She keeps deny the possibility and stubbornly refused to admit what she was feeling right now.

Kalya saw Azalia’s reaction, and a tiny smile formed on her face. She didn’t mock Azalia any further because she didn’t want them to make a fuss there. After all, she realized that Kalya would not be Azalia’s opponent if they fought seriously. The difference in their strength was too significant, and if Ziel didn’t stop their fight, Kalya would be in danger.

(Jealous? Who? Is the person aunty referring to Aze? Is it possible that she also likes Ken?)

Princess Seira looked between Kalya and Azalia in turn. She seemed to have found a clue as to why the two girls had fought earlier. On the other hand, Prince Viron could only stay silent because he didn’t understand what they were talking about.

“Ahaha… I understand. How about we chat somewhere else? I thought it would be tiring if we had to chat while constantly standing in this place. Soon the students will come out, and the atmosphere in this place will become noisy. They will be excited if they see a girl as beautiful as yourself in this place, sister.” Zenoa invites Kalya and the other two to move from that place.

“Okay. Where can we chat comfortably and quietly? At least we can chat over tea and eat snacks.” Kalya quickly agreed to her brother’s proposal.

“We can chat in the cafeteria outside the Monarch Palace. The place was quiet during the day as the students and teachers usually enjoyed their lunch in the canteen inside this palace. Although the food is not as luxurious as the canteen in this place, the atmosphere is calm and comfortable.” Zenoa usually eats lunch at that place because he doesn’t like crowds. The cafeteria was perfect for them to chat as he was forbidden to bring outsiders into his office.

“Up to you. you decide.” Kalya left everything to Zenoa because she knew nothing about the surroundings of the Monarch palace. She wanted to get out of there immediately because class A students had started coming out of the classroom and watching them.

“Okay. Let’s go now. Are you guys in charge of being the guides for my sister?” Zenoa asked Princess Seira and Prince Viron. The two nodded in response to Zenoa’s question.

“In that case, you should also come with us because my sister cannot tour the Monarch Palace alone without you, and I do not have the authority to allow it.” Zenoa said seriously to Princess Seira and Prince Viron. Then he smiled and looked at Kalya.

“Let’s go, sister!” Zenoa walked first to show the way to the cafeteria outside the Monarch Palace. Kalya nodded slightly and followed her along with Princess Seira and Prince Viron.

***

Elsewhere in the Monarch Palace, Hikaru and the other heroes toured the Arcuz Grand Academy area accompanied by their guide. The ones assigned to accompany them were Prince Ozkar’s group.

Their tour did not look peaceful because there was an argument between Sintaro and Prince Ozkar. Their quarrel was because Prince Ozkar kept teasing Kyouka and Megumi. His behavior provoked Sintaro’s anger.

On the other hand, Hikaru is busy calming Sintaro, who is angry and looks like he could attack Prince Ozkar at any moment. He was silent about Prince Ozkar’s behavior because he judged that what Prince Ozkar had done had not crossed the line. But over time, Hikaru became irritated because Prince Ozkar’s approach to Kyouka and Megumi seemed to be done with a bit of coercion.

“Miss Kyouka, Miss Megumi, if you don’t mind, will you accept the invitation to dinner with me tonight? I can show you the pleasant places around the Monarch Palace.” Prince Ozkar kept narrowing his distance with Kyouka and said in a soft voice to her.

“I’m sorry, but I have to decline your invitation, Prince Ozkar. I’ll probably rest early tonight to be fresher for tomorrow’s inauguration.” Kyouka politely answered Prince Ozkar’s invitation and distanced herself from him.

“Me too, Prince Ozkar.” Megumi added.

“Come on. We won’t be long. We’re just going to have a quick dinner. After that, I will immediately escort you back to your rooms.” Prince Ozkar urged the two girls to accept his invitation.

“Prince Ozkar, I think you should respect their opinion. You can still invite Kyouka and Megumi to dinner another time.” Princess Melkia finally spoke up because she couldn’t stand Prince Ozkar’s attitude. Her face was also a little annoyed with Prince Ozkar’s playboy nature.

Princess Melkia could not understand Prince Ozkar’s attitude. She admits that Prince Ozkar is a genius. He also had a very handsome face, and almost all the female students from the academy adored him. But that doesn’t mean every girl he approaches has to respond favorably to him. This makes Princess Melkia confused about handling Prince Ozkar’s overconfident and pushy attitude.

“But…” Prince Ozkar seemed unable to accept Princess Melkia’s words, but Sintaro’s voice cut off his sentence.

“Are your deaf, handsome prince? Haven’t you heard that Kyouka and Megumi have rejected your invitation!?” Sintaro said angrily. If Hikaru hadn’t held his shoulder, Sintaro might have attacked Prince Ozkar. Although Hikaru and Sintaro’s relationship has not returned to normal, at least it is better than before.

“What have you said?” Prince Ozkar said coldly.

“Ooh, so you are deaf and can’t hear what I’m saying?” Sintaro smiled scornfully and added another mockery of Prince Ozkar.

“You’re looking for death!” Prince Ozkar released his killing intent and intended to attack Sintaro. But stopped his actions after hearing a scream from behind him.

“Enough!” Zenoa shouted, and his voice echoed throughout the area. Prince Ozkar and everyone else in the place looked at him.

Zenoa walked over to Prince Ozkar with Kalya beside him. Princess Seira, Azalia and Prince Viron followed behind them.

Prince Ozkar’s face changed after seeing Zenoa coming to him. But then he smiled after seeing Kalya and Azalia. Prince Ozkar quickly withdrew his killing intent and walked toward Zenoa.

“Ooh, Mr. Zenoa. Is there anything I can help with? By the way, who is the woman next to you?” Prince Ozkar showed his charming smile to Kalya. Even though he greeted Zenoa, his eyes kept on looking at Kalya.

“I want you to stop what you’re doing. They were guests invited by the academy. I’ve seen from afar and know what’s going on, so you don’t have to make excuses.” Zenoa stopped his words after seeing Prince Ozkar silent, but he opened his mouth again.

“Even though you are the prince of the Beast Kingdom, this place is Arcuz Grand Academy, and you can’t act as you please here. In this academy, you have to obey the rules.” Zenoa said in a deep voice to Prince Ozkar.

Prince Ozkar’s face turned green after hearing Zenoa’s words, but he remained silent and didn’t say anything. Princess Melkia and the other students from Prince Ozkar’s group also fell silent because they were embarrassed by Prince Ozkar’s behavior. On the other hand, Sintaro chuckled after hearing Zenoa’s words, making Prince Ozkar grit his teeth in annoyance.

“I understand.” Prince Ozkar can only nod in response to Zenoa’s words because he is a teacher, and Prince Ozkar doesn’t want to cause trouble with him. For now, Prince Ozkar could only suppress the anger in his heart.

“Okay. Let’s go, sister. I’m sorry for asking you to come here before we go to the cafeteria.” Zenoa looks at Kalya and smiles.

“I see. That is your duty as a teacher.” Kalya didn’t mind it, but she was annoyed by Prince Ozkar’s gaze. After seeing Kalya’s response, Zenoa breathes a sigh of relief and intends to leave that place immediately.

“Miss Kalya, can we come with you? Coincidentally, we were also getting hungry and wanted to have lunch in the cafeteria.” Kyouka suddenly asked Kalya after she heard Zenoa’s words to her. Kyouka wanted to use the opportunity to separate herself from Prince Ozkar.

“Hmm…how is Zenoa?” Kalya looks to her brother for his opinion.

“I think it’s okay because it’s almost time for lunch, and it’s better to eat in the cafeteria than wait for the maid to bring the food to their room.” Zenoa quickly agreed.

“Okay. you can come with us.” Kalya smiled at Kyouka and Megumi.

Kyouka and Megumi were happy to hear Zenoa’s answer as they were finally able to separate themselves from Prince Ozkar, but their relief only lasted for a while.

“Mr. Zenoa, can we come with you too? After all, our group is in charge of guiding the heroes.” Prince Ozkar smiled and returned to his usual facial expression.

Kyouka and Megumi’s faces darkened after hearing Prince Ozkar’s words. They thought they could get away from that boy, but they forgot the important thing that Prince Ozkar is their guide and has the right to go with them wherever they go.

Zenoa thought for a while and didn’t answer Prince Ozkar right away. He looked at the gloomy faces of the heroes and couldn’t help but sigh heavily.

“Of course, you can come with us.” Zenoa didn’t want to include Prince Ozkar after seeing the expressions of the heroes, but he couldn’t get in the way of Prince Ozkar’s group duty as their guide.

“Thank you, Mr. Zenoa.” Prince Ozkar smiled charmingly and looked at Kalya and Azalia in turn. It made the two girls feel disgusted.

“Okay. Let’s go fast. We’ve wasted quite a bit of time in this place.” Zenoa sighed for the second time and walked towards the cafeteria. Kalya, Azalia and the others quickly followed him. On the way, Prince Ozkar smirked evilly as he looked at Azalia, Kalya, and Kyouka. No one knew what he was thinking at this moment.
