It's already our break time, so I planned to eat in the cafeteria.
"Let's go?" Rui said.
"Go where?" I ask.
"I know that you're hungry, so? Shall we go to the cafeteria?" he said.
"Okay," I said, then we walked together.
'Look at them, don't they look good with each other?' -student number 1 said.
'They do look good together, I wonder if they're in a relationship… you know, if they are boyfriend and girlfriend," -student number 2 said.
Ugh… I'm feeling uncomfortable.
"Sorry if I'm making you uncomfortable," he said.
"No, you're not making me feel uncomfortable," I replied.
"Don't lie to me, I know you already since we were still a kid, so you can't fool me," he said.
'You know me and you're saying that I can't fool you, but why can't you realize that I like you,' I said to myself.
"Ayu, we're here," he said.
"Guys! Over here!," Yuuma shouted. We went over to their table and sat in there.
"What do you want to eat?" Rui asked me.
"A sandwich will do," I said. He nodded, then he went to the counter to order.
"He asked you what you wanted to eat, but not us?" Axel said.
"Because Yumi is his SPECIAL friend," brother Yuuto said.
"No… you're wrong, I'm just one of his ordinary friends," I said.
"Well the way he treats you does really show that you are special to him, because he treats us differently," Jason said.
"First of all, he treats us as his superior even though we told him not to," Yuuma said.
"That's because you have your positions, and he is just being a gentleman like he always did to any woman," I said.
"No, you're wrong, because he treats Yui as his empress or superior too even though she is also his friend," brother Yuuto said.
"Stop saying nonsense," I said.
"Stop saying nonsense? Or stop saying those things, who will make you feel that he has the same feelings as yours?" Yuuma said. I felt that Rui is near us already, when he gets near us, I get the spoon, then throw it to Yuuma and boom, head shot, haha.
"I think I should get you another spoon," Rui said.
"Nope, let brother Yuuto do it," I said.
"Why me?" he said.
"Do it or I will tell the empress that you're bullying me," I said, then pulled Rui to sit.
"I-I will do it," he said. Hahahaha, he now has something to fear.
"What happened here?" he asked.
"Nothing much," I said.
"Okay," he replied.
"By the way, why did you order a meal for me? I told you that a sandwich will do," I said.
"Because I know that you will be so hungry after this… I know that you have a great appetite," he said.
"It looks like you're insulting me," I said.
"Haha, no I'm not… If I insult you right in front of your face or even if not in front of you, I will be dead by now," he said.
"What do you mean by that?" I ask.
"Well, the empress will kill me from training, and you're much stronger than me, so you can kill me anytime," he said.
"Here's your spoon," brother Yuuto said, then handed me the spoon.
"Thanks," I said.
"We will visit them today, right?" Jason asks.
"Yes," they replied.
"We will enter the empire through the front and not from the back… the front road is safer than the back and it is almost time for that thing to happen," Rui said.
"Rui… you should not tell them," I said.
"What thing?" they asked.
"Something that only Yui, her knights and her assassins know… I forgot to mention, but the head maid and the head butler also know it," Rui said.
"Rui, one more word and I will tell her to send you back," I said.
"Okay, okay… I will not talk anymore," he said, then he took a bite from my sandwich.
"What the hell?? Why did you take a bite from my sandwich?" I said.
"What's the problem? We've been sharing our food since we're little, so what's the problem with that?" he said.
"Aish…" I just muttered out.
