"You're my lovely angel. My only adorable princess. I will always love and support you, no matter what you do."
"Daddy…" The girl smiled, then hugged the one she called 'daddy'.

Lili opened her eyes slowly. She's sitting on her cushion chair shaped like a big cat in her work room. 'What was that?' Lili thought as the drowsiness slowly faded.
Students had their own work room with the decoration they decided on theirselves. Work rooms were for their time to read and do assignments or when the students wanted some lone and quiet time. The work rooms imbued by sound proof spell and protection spell, so the students safety would be guaranteed at most. They had their own privacy in their bedroom with a protection and identity identification barrier.
"That Sir Christian! How dare he touch My Lili like that!" Angie screamed out, frustrated.
Seeing Angie puffing her cheeks in upset made Lili grinned a little because Angie resembled those chipmunks Lili's older brothers had.
"There is no need tobe upset, Angie." Lili said slowly as she changed her position to a more comfortable way to talk with Angie.
"But, Lili! What if your condition worsened? I'd surely give a good beating." Angie insisted want to give a smack on that Sir Christian's hard head while clenching her right fist to the air.
"Here I thought that you would always use 'My Lady' when you addressed me." Lili faintly smiled as she looked at Angie's flustered face.
"N-no, that… it's my duty time, so I will be formal during that time." Angie tried to explain.
Looking at Angie, Lili's almost-expresionless face became cold upon hearing the word 'duty'.
"You don't need to attend me if you feel uncomfortable, Angie. I am not the demanding and forcing party here." Lili said as she turned her face, looking at the big window in the work room.
Lili didn't like the fact that everyone around her only attached to 'duty' label. It meant that they were only within a master and servant relationship, couldn't be more than that very line. Bringing Angie with her is Lili's selfish demand because she felt the closest to Angie and thought Angie felt that way too. Well, she's wrong after all.
"My Lady?" Angie tilted her head in question, not knowing that her words had any doing with the atmosphere changing.
"Bring me the lunch set here. On the way, also pick me a history book of Liberia country." Lili didn't turned her head when said it in flat tone. Angie didn't mind it though.
"Yes, My Lady."
Angie opened the door and got out of the room, then letting the door automatically swang closed. She went out to the hall and did her job.
Left alone, Lili only stared blankly at the window by her side. She opened it and let the fresh greenery air filled the room as she leaned down to the edge of the window. The scenery was of a beautiful garden filled with extremely rare and well-maintained flowers and plants. There were also koi-fish ponds and a swan lake nearby, but that didn't seem that awesome to her.
"I wonder how is Coco doing…" Lili mumbled with a blank stare through the window.
"Calling me?"
"Hah…?"
Lili blinked her eyes in surprise.
"Sir Rico…"
"Shh… where's my usual 'Coco'? Have you hated and forgot about me after the last meeting?" Rico said with a sad puppy look.
"No," Lili brushed her white hair as the wind blew them carelessly. "I've been waiting for you…"
A faint smile appear on her pale face as the wind blew on them.

"Prince, My Lord, we need to do something with your clothes now!" Norman screamed out in frustration with a very low voice as he messed his own hair, not knowing why was there any kind of situation like before.
'The Prince', the one who got his clothes dirtied, calmly looked at the 'culprit'. A dark-elf with a tall and slim figure, her dark skin seemed contrast to her pony-styled long silver hair. The dark-elf blankly stared at the yellowish thing on the floor that dirtied the 'prince' just now.
"My pudding…" She mumbled as she tried to take it from the floor, but got held by another girl with a long black hair.
"I will tell Sister Vida to get you more later, don't pick up waste." The black haired girl said as she dragged the dark-elf go after bowing as a sign of apology.
"We apologize, Sir. Please do use this piece of cloth to clean your belongings." A silver haired girl with a pair of white wolf ears bowed down elegantly and offering a piece of fine white handkerchief.
"H-how dare you do this to my master, you…" Norman almost spouted out unnecessary words, but got cut by another short black haired girl.
"Or… would you rather got a clean magic, Sir?" That girl said. She had a boyish vibe with a fine line figure as she held her right waist and looking at them, waiting for respond.
The 'prince' coughed, "Would you please, then." He accepted the offer to get a clean magic, a kind of magic to thoroughly clean one's clothes or body in instant.
Swussh…
A dark blue aura with a thin red aura enveloped the 'prince' and here we go… walaa… a fresh and clean body in a good as new suit.
"I'm sorry for the previous scene, Sir. Please to meet you and have a nice day." The boyish black haired girl smiled as she turned away, followed by the wolf-eared girl.
"Wait. Give me your name."
"Rafa, here is Tiana." Rafa smiled as she introduced herself and Tiana's.
"Lady Rafa, I am…"
"Sister, you need to get Sister Vida right away. Athena is sulking and eyeing for Tiana's cream puff now!" The previous long black haired girl said, interrupting the introduction.
Rafa turned to that girl, "Tiana, you… ah, she has gone to her cream puff." Rafa mumbled as she saw Tiana has vanished from her side. "Well, Nia, we should get that ice berg albino here at best."
Rafa glanced back to the 'prince', "My apologies, Sire, I have to go now. Have a nice day and nice to meet you." She then walked in high speed with the girl she called 'Nia' towards the hallway.
"Am I… just now… got ignored?" The 'prince' blankly stared at the way Rafa disappeared to.
"Yes, it seems so." Norman nodded as he placed down a silver tray of three plates of one bite desserts.
"Norman, who am I?"
"Answering, My Lord. You are the second prince of Buille Kingdom, Prince Arthur Atlanta Juane. The best in sword arts and combat magic." Norman replied with a closed eyes as if reciting what's a must to every servant of Buille Kingdom.
By the way, Buille Kingdom was one of the neighboring kingdom or country that had a good relationship with the kingdom our charaters resided in. Called as a 'Land of Water' due to its continent surronded by sea, also had a lot of lake, river, hot spring, and whole lot more. This country said as 'sea contents' source and the best land to learn craftsmanship or just simply bought the goods with a great amount of money. A typical prosperous country that many aimed their eyes for, whether for the goods or the 'royalty connection' or something else.
The prince, Arthur, smiled gently. "This prince find someone interesting."
Norman squinted his eyes, 'Ah… here we go again…'
If the prince wanted something, even if it was impossible, there would be no doubt that everyone would be at utmost care bring it to the prince.
What a scary prince…
