Holding my breath I slowly moved my hand towards the elevator buttons
' I am not dealing with this today '
Sadly, just as I was about to press the button, Elizabith turned her head having noticed me and came running right towards me.
" Ah, Sir Nicholos. I apologize for appearing so suddenly however is it possible for me to take up a portion of your time?
It won't take long just a few minutes at most "
Having failed at my escape I decided there was nothing to lose in hearing her out, though not without making her understand the severity of her current actions
" While I am willing to hear what you have to say, I need you to understand that the way you acted even though you already know of my title can be seen as a sign of disrespect towards house Arcane "
' If I had been a normal classmate then such an act would have been fine however the fact stands that I am currently acting as the head of my household. Elizabeth probably came here simply to ask me about something however with my current position it would be seen as disregarding my title and calling me out, such a thing cannot be tolerated'
Reaching the same conclusion was none other than Elizabeth who face turned a shade whiter than normal
" This is a misunderstanding, I didn't mean it that way, I truly apologize if it seemed like it " she explained immediately her pitch higher than before clearly from panic " I didn't think things through and ended up like this, my household has no connection to this matter "
' I can already see that based on your reaction alone though, besides it is rather obvious why she is here '
" So please accept my sincerest apologies "
" I won't bring this up with your family so relax " I said shaking my hand " and for what you are about to ask me, nothing happened between me and Jake the reason he is staying silent is because I had asked him to keep our talk under wraps "
" How did you... "
" Seeing how close you both are in the classroom it was rather obvious, still be more careful next time, I am letting things slide seeing as you were worried about your lover "
" No he isn't ... we aren't ... we are just friends!!! " Elizabeth shrieked her face turning bright red
" I see it is still a work in progress; don't worry I am sure he feels the same "
" Do you really think.... Wait that wasn't what I !!...Thank you for your time "
Speaking in fast gibberish Elizabith proceeded to bolt from my side.
' Ah youth I still remember when I was there age ' I thought reminiscing of old times
'Speaking of misunderstanding it might be best to go and explain the situation before I go and rest just to stop things from going out of control'
So, turning around I proceeded to return back to the main building

Isabella Whiteheart Pov
' What was he thinking '
Isabella was having a rather pleasant day up to this point, originally, she had worries about her class which was the gathering of all the high-class figures this year causing a mess the second they were put together.
However, against all odds nothing bad happened, even the head of house arcane who was famous for being a scoundrel in the noble circles was instead courteous and silent seemingly having changed from his past self.
' I was afraid he was going to try to cause trouble seeing that I am from house whiteheart, but he acted with zero intention of bringing it up '
Seeing that everything was going well she had decided to leave them alone so that they could get to know each other. Having not heard any complaints from the other teachers her good mood continued to soar even higher, that was until the news of what occurred that morning finally reached her office.
They say that betrayal comes from none other than the ones who are closest to you and at that moment she understood that more than ever before.
Jake that idiot younger brother of hers had caused a big scene this morning and the reason the rest of the class was silent for the entirety of the day was because of it.
Clutching her head Isabella couldn't help but groan
' Did he even think things through before publicly confronting the current head of arcane, right now the noble children will be telling their parents all about it through the communication crystals.
By tomorrow everyone will be talking about the new feud between whiteheart and arcane'
As Isabella found a headache starting to form, a sudden knock pulled her out of her thoughts.
" Yes, you may enter "
Isabella naturally assumed that a TA had come by or maybe even one of the fellow teachers, what she couldn't predict was the very head of house arcane who her brother had caused a problem with this morning to walk in. Sporting the same black suit, he entered silently before stopping in front of her desk.

Nicholos Pov
" I apologize for the sudden visit but there was a certain issue that I wished to talk to you about "
Staring at the white-haired beauty I said waiting for her reply
" No, it is fine I already said that my office is open if any of my students need anything "
' Of course, in this situation I wasn't about to talk about anything study related '
" Thank you, lady Isabella, to tell you the truth I came here to discuss with you about something that occurred this morning "
Hearing me she pursed her lips
" And to tell you that there is no need to worry "
" I apola.. Excuse me "
" The tale about me and your brother having left the classroom together to discuss something must have already spread to all corners of the academy "
" Indeed, it has "
" Which is why I am here, Jake came to me asking to work together to end the conflict between both our families and I agreed "
" Wait a second please "
Signalling me to stop Isabella clutched her head seemingly confused by it all.
' Maybe I should have taken it slower seeing how shocked she looks '
Finally regaining her bearings, she spoke again
" So, what you are saying there is no feud that is going to happen "
" Quite the opposite actually.
which is why I have a favour to ask of you Lady Isabelle "
" And what would that be " Looking suspiciously at me she asked
" Send my regards to the head of the household that is all "
Staying silent for a few seconds she nodded her head in the end
" I ... can do that "
" Ok then I have taken too much time from you so I will excuse myself now "
Turning around I walked but just as I was about to leave, Isabella added one last thing
" Why did you decide to start right now, if you wanted to you could have contacted the head about this matter before "
Remembering the novel, I opened my mouth
" To tell you the truth I was originally planning to simply leave things the way they are, however, a certain event changed my mind "
Seeing her looking at me with intrigue I continued explaining
" Today I happened to meet the only daughter of house Whiteheart and found myself completely head over heels for her because of that I thought of bettering our relations that is the core reason "
Saying so I left the office closing the door behind me, but just for a split second I could see Isabellas frozen figure with her face completely red.
