The seminar has finished with a speech by Council President Seraphina. Every student is going to their hostel rooms to settle down their belongings. There is no class for today in the academy.
Academy already placed students' uniforms and their books and a glass crystal to notify students about their exam results, and an academy map, food timings and many other things in their rooms.
Arin is walking in the corridor of his hostel building while holding half of bags that they have and Naira is holding the remaining bags. He got the 3rd hostel, he is following Seraphina and Naira. They all walk to the second floor. Every floor has only three rooms. One for master and other two for servants.
They reached their rooms. Arin is now standing in front of a massive gate. He leaned back and looked at both sides of the corridor.
"Why does this floor only have one door? And where is my room?" Arin said.
Naira opened the door with a red rhombus crystal. They all entered the room. Arin saw three gates in the left side wall. And there is not a single window in this room but still the room has sufficient lighting because of mana stones embedded in the walls.
"Your room is the last one Sir Aren." Naira showed him his room.
Arin takes a deep breath. "hussh, finally now i can take some rest."
Every one of them entered their rooms. Arin and Seraphina are taking their bath in the bathtub. While Naira is placing Seraphina's belongings into the cabinet.
Seraphina seems a bit down and she is still continuously looking at her engagement ring. While Arin, he fell asleep already in the bathtub.
It's already night time and every student got a notification in a crystal. Students have already started arriving in the mess of the academy. But Arin, he is sleeping carelessly in the bathtub. Naira and Seraphina both are continuously knocking on the door but i don't think he will wake up tonight.
Both of them stop knocking. Naira back down a step back. 'Graviton' Seraphina uses her skill on the lock and opens his room. He is not anywhere to be found in the room. Both of them got really scared. Suddenly Naira opened the bathroom gate. She saw Arin lying in the bathtub and his eyes were closed. She thought he was already gone. She screamed 'ahhhhhhhhhhhh'.
Seraphina runs towards the bathroom and now even Arin wakes up by her. Arin walks out from the bathtub.
"Why are you screaming like that? I think my ears are already gone."
Seraphina entered the bathroom, she saw Arin standing naked while his big excalibur hanging proudly.
Arin realised this situation and asked them to wait outside gently. Both of them are now sitting on a sofa in common hall straight without saying a single word.
Arin finally came outside from his room. He is wearing a well noble black suit. He saw both of them sitting stiff on sofa.
"Hey, aren't you both hungry? If we get late we have to sleep without having food."
They synchronised their voice and said 'yes let's go'. They are now going towards the mess. Arin saw a massive arena that held many tournaments every year in the midway. And while they were crossing the main hall of academy. There is a list of top students and Seraphina's picture is on the top list.
"Ohh, so you are the top student princess, damn you really are something."
He is the only one who is talking the whole way. They are finally in the mess. They all take their food plates and sit on the bench and start eating their food.
Arin saw two students bullying a student. They throw away his food plate and ask him to eat it from the ground.
Arin tries to stand up but Seraphina holds his hand. Arin sat down.
"What are you doing princess? They are bullying that kid and we have to stop them." Arin's eyes are now filled with anger.
"Aren we can't do anything, they both are sons of high noble. That blond hair he is Sam son of Lord Vitern and that red hair he is Dravos son of lord Varrow. They both hold one third power of this kingdom." Seraphina explained to Arin.
Arin murmurs in anger. "But you are the princess, can't you do something."
"It's not that simple, Aren."
Arin stands up from the table and leaves the mess. Seraphina tried to stop him but she failed. Arin locks himself in his room.
It's already midnight, Naira already slept in his room but Seraphina is still awake. Anyone can see worry on her face. But she can't do anything because Arin is not opening his door. So she stood up and touched the left wall of her room. Suddenly a frame of the gate appeared.
She entered through that frame into the door. She saw Arin sitting on his chair while closing his eyes. And a history book is placed open on the table.
Seraphina approached him and hugged him from behind. He instantly stood up from his chair.
"Princess, how did you enter my room, door is still locked."
"I got worried so I used the emergency escape door to enter your room."
Arin saw a frame behind her. "So anyone can create a gate in the wall."
"No, only the master room has this facility to exchange the room in an emergency to save himself. Servants can't access this from their side."
"But why are you here? And what makes you so worried that you used this gate?"
"It's not like it has one time access, we can use it how much we need. and I got worried for you because you left in the middle of dinner."
"It's fine princess, I am not hungry and upset so you don't have to worry about me."
Seraphina blushed. "Why don't you drop honorifics. I mean we are fiancee afterall."
Arin's tone goes down. "We are but we are not a normal couple."
"Why can't we become a normal couple?" Seraphina said. "We should try to become a normal couple."
"Ohh, really do you have any plans?"
"Well…amm…why don't we start with a night walk." Seraphina's eyes sparkled.
"Night walk." Arin got confused.
"Yes, I heard that couples usually walk at night to develop their bond." She comes closer to Arin. "We should try it."
"Okay but where should we go now?"
Seraphina uses all her brain cells. "in the academy garden."
They use Arin's door to go outside from their hostel because if master's door opens at midnight. It sends a signal to the main office. When they leave the room a book was left on Seraphina's bed named 'how to win man's heart' written by Serene vire.
They both are now walking in the garden. At start both of them are quite just walking around on pathways. But after sometime Seraphina started the conversation, because she reads in her book that if your men found a tight woman then you. His love will shift on her instantly. But don't worry men are easy animals, they always want a submissive woman and women can easily make them their slaves by using sheath hiding between her legs.
Dhaad
A loud noise comes from far away.
"What is this noise?" Arin asked.
"Nothing, just final year students coming back from the S rank dungeon. It seems they failed again. So they are just frustrated, it's not a big deal." Seraphina changed the topic. "Do you have friends in the capital?"
"Well I don't have any friends because I always go to work to earn money to eat."
Seraphina could feel his pain, so she went silent for a moment.
"I mean technically, I have one friend or maybe not because we didn't declare our friendship. But I think we are friends."
Seraphina's heart again gained his joy. "Really who is it?"
"Her name is Lyra and she is a nun." Arin said without realising that it can start a new world war.
"(Ohh she is the one. I think I have to eliminate this threat before it grows big.)" Seraphina really wants to remove Lyra from the equation. "(But i think i have to erase her from Arin's heart.)"
Seraphina stopped instantly, she looked towards the moon. "The moon is beautiful, isn't it?"
"Is it." Arin looks towards the moon. Arin looks at Seraphina."But i think…"
Seraphina kissed him on his lips then ran away towards the hostel. She really was running fast because she had already left the garden without using any power.
Arin's wide eyes become normal. Then he touched his lips with his right thumb. "It's really sweet."
