The atmosphere in the cafeteria became noisy after the students who were having lunch heard Prince Ozkar’s words. Some even joined in mocking Kyouka and the others. But Clara and the other human academy students decided to ignore that voices.

Prince Ozkar and several of his underlings walked over to Ziel’s desk. His eyes kept staring intently at Kyouka, who was sitting next to Clara. Princess Irene panicked after seeing Prince Ozkar walking closer and closer to their table. She felt that Prince Ozkar intended to find trouble with them.

Princess Irene is afraid that Prince Ozkar will accidentally offend Ziel and make Arcuz Grand Academy also be affected because she knows that Raphael, who was considered strong by everyone from the demi-human academy, was nothing compared to Ziel.

“What do you want, Prince Ozkar? Did you forget that this academy has a rule that forbids students from fighting in public?” Princess Irene stood up and blocked Prince Ozkar, who wanted to approach Kyouka.

“Ooh? Are you now friends with the people from the human academy and want to defend them, Princess Irene? You must remember that you are a student of this academy and the Princess of the Demon Kingdom!” Prince Ozkar said coldly.

Prince Ozkar doesn’t care about Princess Irene. But her father, King Redis, was one of the strongest men in the demi-human region. Even King Regulus, his father, had to face King Redis with caution. That’s why he didn’t want to clash with Princess Irene in that place.

“Whoever I’m friends with, I don’t think it’s any of your business. I am currently their guide. So I have to watch over and protect them. so I ask you to get away from this place immediately and don’t make trouble with them.” Princess Irene warned.

Princess Irene believed that her father would also agree with her current actions. Because both of her parents had been implanted with the slave seal by Ziel and thus the Demon Kingdom was indirectly under his control. Ziel could do anything to her kingdom, including erasing it from the Clorius continent.

Prince Ozkar was surprised by Princess Irene’s bold attitude. He remembered that Princess Irene was a shy girl who rarely spoke. But right now, she was speaking against him, and it pissed him off a little.

“If I don’t want to leave here, what are you going to do?” Prince Ozkar said defiantly. The students would laugh at him if he backed off because of Princess Irene’s words.

“I really can’t beat you if I have to fight with you. Therefore I will report this to the teacher or directly to the principal.” Princess Irene threatens Prince Ozkar.

Princess Irene hoped that Prince Ozkar would be afraid and leave that place. But if Prince Ozkar insisted on staying close to Kyouka and intended to cause trouble with them, Princess Irene had no choice but to fight him even though she knew she would not win. She didn’t want that possibility to happen if she had to choose.

When there was a commotion in the cafeteria, the guards and teachers would come to stop Princess Irene and Prince Ozkar. Her actions were risky because she and Prince Ozkar would be punished for fighting in public. But at least Princess Irene could prevent Prince Ozkar from causing trouble with Kyouka and the others.

“Hoo…do you think I will be afraid of your threat? Other students might think twice after hearing your words. Unfortunately, I’m not them, and I don’t care what you say. So you better get out of my sight, or I’ll be rude to you.” Prince Ozkar is not afraid because his father will surely take care of this matter. He was sure that the academy, especially Raphael, wouldn’t mind a small fuss like this if his father had spoken.

“You!” Princess Irene didn’t know what else to say. She seemed to have no other choice but to fight Prince Ozkar. After all, Princess Irene was the guide for Kyouka and the others, so she had to protect them. Another more important reason was that they were her friends.

Ziel might solve the problem easily, but Princess Irene understood his position and didn’t want Ziel to intervene because that would be the worst-case scenario. For now, she had to carry out her responsibilities as a guide.

Princess Irene had to prevent Prince Ozkar from approaching and touching the people around Ziel because they were his reverse scale. Just as she was preparing to fight Prince Ozkar, someone tapped her on the shoulder from behind.

“Let me handle it, Irene.” Kyouka said and stood in front of Princess Irene. Right now, she was standing face to face with Prince Ozkar.

“Do you have a grudge against me? I feel hostility every time you see me.” Kyouka said calmly.

Kyouka had noticed that Prince Ozkar was looking at him with hostility ever since the friendly match ended. She didn’t care about it because she didn’t think it was important. But Prince Ozkar’s current behavior bothered her because he kept pressuring Princess Irene and openly wanted to cause trouble with them.

“Do you not know, or are you just pretending? Not even a day has passed, and you’ve forgotten it. Alright, I’ll remind you again. My sister was seriously injured after she received your attack in battle. Did you remember it!?” Prince Ozkar said coldly. He clenched his fists to suppress his anger. Prince Ozkar felt he could spiral out of control at any moment and attacked Kyouka.

“Didn’t you know that it was a match? One of us must be hurt, and that’s normal. Besides, I’m sure that I held back a bit and stopped my attack right before it hit her. So about your sister being seriously injured is not my responsibility.” Kyouka felt something strange about Prince Ozkar’s words.

Kyouka attacked Princess Evelyn with a large-scale attack, but she didn’t hit her heavily. If Kyouka hadn’t stopped her attack right before it hit Princess Evelyn, perhaps the girl would have died by now instead of being seriously injured. Kyouka was sure that Princess Evelyn’s condition was caused by another reason.

“Do you think that I will believe what you say? I saw with my eyes that you hit my sister with a deadly attack. So you don’t have to bother looking for excuses in front of me because it’s useless!” Prince Ozkar was even more furious after hearing Kyouka deny his accusations.

“I’m not forcing you to believe what I say. But one thing is for sure, your sister’s current condition is not because of my attack.” Kyouka shrugged her shoulders and intended to return to her seat. But her response made Prince Ozkar angry.

“Where do you want to go? I’m not done with you yet!” Prince Ozkar was about to grab Kyouka’s shoulder to stop Kyouka, but his actions were stopped by a voice from behind him.

“What are you doing? Did you forget that this academy forbids students from fighting in public?” With a cold face, Queen Jasmine walked over to Prince Ozkar. She was accompanied by Kalya and Princess Seira next to her.

“I’m not fighting her. I only came to this table to greet our former opponents who lost in the previous match.” Prince Ozkar withdrew his hand and decided to back off for now. He couldn’t possibly cause trouble with Kyouka while Queen Jasmine was there.

After the friendly match ended, Prince Ozkar kept thinking about how to avenge his sister. When he came to the cafeteria with the other students, he saw Kyouka sitting at one of the tables with Princess Irene and the other human academy students.

Prince Ozkar felt that it was his chance to avenge Princess Irene. He would make trouble there and try to make one of the people at that table angry. When they attacked him first, he could counterattack them and make it a legitimate defense. Unfortunately, his plan failed due to the appearance of Queen Jasmine.

If only Princess Seira and Kalya appeared, then Prince Ozkar wasn’t afraid to continue his act. But the story is different with Queen Jasmine because she is one of the academy’s founders.

Prince Ozkar left the place along with the students who had come with him. He walked toward one of the VIP spots in the cafeteria. But before he left, Prince Ozkar gave Kyouka a threatening look. He was annoyed at being forced to leave due to Queen Jasmine’s appearance.

Kyouka could only sigh and shake her head at Prince Ozkar’s behavior. Right after Prince Ozkar left, a waiter came to bring the food that Clara and the others had ordered.

“Then we’ll go first. We don’t want to disturb your lunch. Prince Ozkar will not dare to act as long as I am still here.” Queen Jasmine smiled and glanced at Ziel. But that person was looking at Kalya and Azalia in turn.

(How did you end up having lunch with Azalia?)

Ziel asked Kalya using telepathy.

(I happened to meet her in the corridor and asked her to have lunch with me)

Kalya smiled and answered honestly. The interaction between the two did not escape Azalia’s view and made her frown.

(Is that so? Then, have a nice lunch, but please don’t fight with her again)

Ziel was speechless after hearing Kalya’s answer. But he thought it was better than them fighting when they met.

(I understand)

Kalya answered briefly and understood the meaning of Ziel’s last sentence.

(Women are complicated creatures and difficult to understand)

Ziel didn’t understand how the women were thinking. Previously they had fought and had almost done a great deal of damage to this academy. But now they came together for lunch. He didn’t understand their way of thinking at all. Then he felt Azalia’s gaze on him. Ziel turned to him and nodded slightly in response. He didn’t want to overdo it, as many eyes were on them now.

After that, Azalia and the Elven Kingdom trio left that place and headed towards another VIP spot in the cafeteria. They wanted to eat together at Ziel’s table. Unfortunately, there are no other tables and chairs left in the common area.

“Ken, is it possible you are attracted to that girl?” Clara noticed Ziel and Azalia’s small interaction earlier and couldn’t help but ask him.

“Hmm? On what basis are you asking that, my lady?” Ziel asked back.

“I saw you flirt with her before she left.” Clara pouted and said the reason.

“You misunderstood our relationship, my lady. She and I are old friends, so I just greeted her as a courtesy. Ziel forgot that he hadn’t told her about Azalia. So it’s only natural that Clara thinks that way.

“Is that so? You’re not lying to me, are you? It would be best to remember that you already have Miss Kalya and Freya with you. Besides that, there is also Aishia and other girls waiting for you! So I remind you not to glance at other women. Do you understand?” Clara lectured Ziel sternly.

Even though Clara knew that Ziel wasn’t lying, she felt uneasy when she saw Azalia’s gaze on Ziel earlier. As a fellow girl, she firmly believed that Azalia’s gaze at Ziel was not the gaze of a friend, but a woman attracted to the opposite sex.

But Clara didn’t realize what she had said. The girls, especially Princess Iris, were shocked after hearing Clara’s statement. They knew Clara must have unconsciously said that in her sentence.

“I understand. I won’t lie to you, my lady. But, who else was waiting for me in your words? I can understand if you bring up Aishia’s name, but who is the other person in your sentence?” Ziel didn’t know who Clara was referring to in her words. If his memory served him right, he had never been in a relationship or promised anything to any woman other than the three girls Clara had mentioned.

On the other hand, Princess Irene, Kyouka and Lilith were also curious about the person Clara meant in her words. Even though they already knew that the other person was Clara, their female instincts told them that there was someone other than Clara in that sentence.

“Ah, that’s…” Clara realized that she had slipped out her tongue in her previous words. Her face reddened, and she frantically glanced at Princess Iris for her help.

But Princess Iris quickly averted her gaze and pretended not to see her. Princess Iris’ face also blushed at Clara’s words. She knew the other people in Clara’s sentence were her and Clara.

Clara felt betrayed after seeing Princess Iris’s actions. She didn’t know what to reply to Ziel at this point. After imagining her telling Ziel that the other person in her sentence was her, Clara’s face turned redder and redder.

“Okay. We don’t need to talk about that anymore. We’d better have our lunch before it gets cold.” Lilith helped Clara out of her situation. She knew Clara still couldn’t be honest with her feelings, so Lilith had to end the conversation before Clara reached her limit, and her face turned tomato-like in embarrassment.

“Yes. we should quickly eat our food while it is still warm.” Princess Irene added. She wanted to leave that place immediately for fear that Prince Ozkar would find trouble with them again.

Although Queen Jasmine guarantees that Prince Ozkar will not dare to do anything to them, he may use other means to deal with them.

“They are right. We have to eat our lunch and get out of here quickly.” Ziel agreed with the words of the two girls. After all, he just casually asked Clara and didn’t think much about the answer. On top of that, he had a bad feeling if they continued to stay in that area.

“Let’s eat!!” Clara replied excitedly. She looked at Lilith and smiled to express her gratitude. Lilith nodded and smiled back. After that, they started to enjoy their quiet lunch under the gazes of the students from the Arcuz Grand Academy.
