ICE's POV
Ice Knight at your service. I'm not that too talkative due to our empress… She kind of hates loud noises around her after our previous empress, but her kindness is always the same. She is the empress that doesn't want any war, but due to some reason, she might send us for a war.
I opened the letter and read it.
"I'll be back today together with Metal and prince Fierce, ready all the knights and don't let the Emperor and the princes of other empires go, I'll personally go there for the negotiation, also, I'd like to see Demon Knight
-Empress"
"This is the worst day"
"Why?"
"The empress will be here in the evening, she said that ready the empire's knights, and she also wanted to see prince Stephen, lastly, prince Fierce and Metal will be coming with her," I said then I burned the letter.
"WHAT?!!" Shadow and the casanova knight shouted.
"Mouth" I said while looking at them menacingly.
"W-what is Prince Fierce's business here? He never showed himself for a long time now, but why show himself now?" Casanova Knight said.
"Remember that our empress is sick, he is her personal doctor that's why she cannot escape him no matter how hard she tries to escape."
"But prince Stephen is not here… empress will be so mad about it, you know that she might berserk again once she knows about the prince's disappearance" Shadow knight said.
"I know, that's why we need Fire later,"
"But remember that you sent Fire to deliver the letter,"
"He'll be back here before evening, trust me," I said.
"Okay, but what are we going to do if she finds out about prince Stephen?" Shadow knight asked.
"As I mentioned earlier, Fire and I will handle her once she finds out about it… for now, tell the maids that ready the 5 rooms for the royalties of the allied forces," I told them. The Casanova knight nodded and left the room.
"We're sorry royalties, but our empress ordered us to let you stay in our empire for tonight, she will personally talk to you about the alliance, the maids will lead you towards your rooms, also we'll assign a butler for each of you," I told them.
"Why are you the one that's ordering the people around here? You're just a knight," prince Yuuto said.
"One mistake is enough for our empress… a long time ago there was a butler that our empress trusted the most, but he betrayed her, the butler poisoned the previous empress and told the empress that he became a butler in this empire to take over the empire and hand it over to our enemy… If we are late to rescue her, she would be dead by now… she became colder as the time passed by, she executed the butler and never ordered, nor trust the butlers here to do the paperwork," shadow knight told them.
"Royalties, your maids and butlers are here, kindly go with them to rest for the rest of the day until our empress arrived,"
*3 Weeks Later*
YUI's POV
I walked into the hallway, and as usual, everyone can't look at me, except for her. Abigail, the girlfriend of our Campus King, she is also the Queen Bee on our campus. It's been a week since this thing happened. Abigail also stopped bothering me.
"You stole him from me!" she shouted and even snatched my things from my hand, then threw it on the ground. I thought she had enough bullying me?
"Who's him? I-I didn't steal anything from you." I said with a confused and worried look because I think that she will make a scene, again.
"You're still lying? HA! I won't believe you, tell me then, how come you got the title of being the new campus queen of our campus?" she asked. So, this is about the Campus Queen thing?
"I don't know. You know that no one on this campus can interact with our campus king except for you and the other campus royalties. Ask your boyfriend why he gave me the title of 'campus queen' and not me cause even I, myself, don't know why." I said. I bend my knees and stretch my hand to pick up my report or my research papers.
I'm about to get another piece of paper, but she steps her foot on my hand, which made me cry. She was wearing stilettos.
'Bear with it today Yui, this will end soon.' I told myself.
"Please stop, it h-hurts," I said while crying, but she did not listen and dug her heels into my hand deeper.
"You dare to hurt my Queen!" he said, and guess who? It's the campus king. Abigail removed her foot on my hand. I picked up my papers and stood up.
"What are you doing here?" I asked.
"Why aren't you fighting back?" he asked.
"Liam… she started everything!" Abigail said.
"She started everything?" he asked, then smirked.
"Yui is not that kind of person… she's not that kind of person who will start a fight," Liam continued.
"You're going to defend that bitch instead of your future fiancé?!" she shouted.
"Queen!" someone shouted. We looked behind and saw Julia. Yes, Julia, the girl who is previously one of Abigail's alipores.
"Julia! Who is your queen again?!"
"Queen Yui," she answered straightforwardly.
"You useless wench!" she shouted. She's about to slap Julia, but it stopped because of Liam.
"That's enough Abigail… Go to the punishment room," Liam ordered.
"But--"
"No Buts Abigail… you already did a lot of things to push through this punishment, also, we are not in that kind of relationship for you to think that I will be your future fiancé… now, go to the punishment room and wait for the other royalties there." Liam said, cutting off her word.
Abigail walked away from us and looked at me furiously.
"Queen are you okay? Let's go to the infirmary to treat your hand," Julia worriedly said.
"I'm fine, no need to worry,"
"No you're not… Julia, assist your queen to the infirmary, I'll inform the royalties for Abigail's punishment," Liam said.
"Understood, King" Julia said. Liam turned around without looking at me. Julia assisted me to the infirmary and waited for me until the nurse finished healing my wound.
"Do you think Liam is mad because I did not fight back?" I asked.
"Will you please stop thinking such an imperceptible thing?" someone said.
