Suki's entire body twitched as she looked at Nectar, [ I'm not worthy of being remembered!? ] She saw no smugness or mockery on Nectar's face, just gaping confusion. Then she suddenly brightened up, " Royal Concubine Suki San "!
Again, Suki was surprised at the sudden excitement in her voice but Nectar gave Kancor a high five and laughed victoriously, " I can't believe I remembered that ". Nectar caught herself almost immediately and regained her composure, Kancor did the same.
In fact, they were both surprised. Nectar paid little attention to school work in her second life. Kancor even remembered when she slammed the table and declared herself a princess and this unnecessary.
Kancor put a hand to his chin and the other one in his pocket, hiding his smile underneath. Suki again twitched slightly but Nectar wasn't paying attention to it; she smiled and waved at her " It's a pleasure to see you. I hope you enjoy the celebration ".
Nectar watched Suki semi stamp away and she pulled at the tip of her hair, [ I can't believe I forgot about Suki! ] Nectar pulled her hair even more as she bit her lower lip, [ And her terrible father took ]
She blinked in a daze as she felt something warm on her hands and looked up at Kancor who seemed slightly worried, " Are you okay? That looks like it hurts ". Nectar looked down at her hair and hands which were being covered in frost and smiled.
" Just a thought ", Kancor seemed relieved and let go. Nectar shook the frost of her hair and Kancor poked her cheek, " No wonder Lord Soul always looks lifeless around you ". Nectar raised an eyebrow, obviously amused " And what's that supposed to mean "?
Kancor shrugged, turning in the direction of the already set table and smiled, " You're a handful ". Nectar puffed her cheeks slightly and walked after him and his long legs, " You take that back!

Luscious felt a little confused but mostly relieved as he watched Nectar and Kancor head to the table [ When did they get so close? ] He jumped when Lucy spoke into his ear, " What could you possibly be thinking about that made you let down your guard "?
Lucy followed the path of Luscious former gaze and smiled mischievously as she gave her brother a side hug, " You finally love someone "! Luscious frowned slightly as he tried to push her away [ How did she figure it out!? ] " Love is such a strong word ".
Lucy looked, still smiling and a satisfied purr in her voice " Do you really want me to use the hard way "? Luscious sighed, " Don't think you can threaten me Lucy ". Lucy smiled and let go of him, she held out her hand and admiring the bracelet Nectar made her, " No problem Brother Lu ".
Lucy skipped forward and after Nectar before Luscious could stop her, " Sister Qidu wait, let's sit together ". She looked back at Luscious with a smirk and caught up with Nectar and Kancor. Luscious flexed his fingers, " Why is a younger sister I can't bear to kill in my life "?

Bonsi was happy her brother was enjoying himself and honestly, she felt he was even safer with Nectar. Yes, she'd changed her mind about Nectar and after what she'd heard what them say this morning, she actually wanted to spend time with her.
Not to mention, she'd made such an impression on Archie as well. She took a seat across from Nectar who was laughing about something with a little pink haired girl who was sitting in her lap and sighed.
[ Do children naturally like her or does she just like them? ] Jewlica bounced happily as she looked at Lucy's bracelet. She puffed her cheeks angrily as she looked at Nectar, " How could you "?
Nectar laughed lightly, " How about I make one for you too "? Jewlica smirked, holding out her mana stone " Really, you have a surprise for us Sister Qidu "! Nectar raised an eyebrow, obviously confused by how she said it.
She looked down when something small bumped into her chair, " It'd better not be a prank Ica ". August smiled as he looked up at the two. Kancor laughed and picked him up, placing him in his lap " You don't mind buddy, do you "?
August shook his head as he looked at Nectar, " Who is this Sister Qidu? He sounds familiar ". Nectar smiled, ruffling his hair " He's the nice prince that danced with me at the welcoming banquet ". August bounced excitedly pointing between the two, " That's amazing ".
He leaned closer to Kancor and whispered, " Thank you, Sister Qidu doesn't know how to dance ". Nectar reddened slightly, " Gus "! Kancor smirked and spoke teasingly, " Remind me again who has two left feet "? Nectar glared at him but cleared her throat and looked the other way.
Mario reached the table next, slightly panting " Ica said there was a surprise ". Nectar smiled, " Yeah, aren't you gonna say hi "? Mario looked at their faces and waved with a tired smile, " Greetings to all royalty ". They laughed and Nectar ruffled his hair, " You're lucky you got away with that ".
Mario made a silly face and Lucy waved at him, " How are you Mario "? Mario blushed slightly and nodded, then he noticed the bracelet on her hand and looked at Nectar, " You made that, right "?
Ica interrupted, poking his check with a smile " Yeah and Sister Qidu will make one for each of us ". Nectar nodded and Mario propped his chin in his hands, " Can it be anything we want "? Nectar nodded, " Of course, whatever you can imagine ".
