Early Morning (Thur) Spring 4 Year 1
Rhen's Apartment, Resort Le Straza Branch, Neotopia
-----------------------------------------
*alarm*3x
Rhen wakes up from the sound of his alarm clock, it was ringing for a few minutes by now and he is late for school. With a quick tap on its top, he turns it off and then checks his to-do list or Quest tab as what he likes to call it.
-----------------------------------------
Quest:
Main Quest:
*Kill or Capture the leader of Crimson blood clan "Wraith"
-
Side Quest:
*Register at the Guild hall
*Read Alfie's love letter and go attend her tea party (optional)
-----------------------------------------
Rhen decides to read Alfie's letter, he opens the side of the drawer and pulls out Alfie's rose scented love letter. It's a very intricate with golden threads used as decor and a seal is stamped keeping it closed.
"(I guess I'll read Alfie's Love letter, I really don't want to get tangled up with the Royals. Still It wont hurt if you just go to her tea party.)" He thought.
As soon as he tore open the envelope, a myriad of flowery scents immediately enters his nose, it reads as follows.
-
"Dear Commoner
I Alfiemia Sylvania the First Princess of the Kingdom of Sylnari, hereby order you to join me in my tea party tomorrow morning. Gandor will wait for you outside the Noble's section gate. The moment I laid my eyes on you, I knew you are the one for me. I acknowledge you as my suitor for my time being here in Neocademy.
Rejoice commoner, you may be a human and our lifespan may be vastly different. However, will I allow you to be by my side for the time being till we part ways at graduation.
Sincerely.
Alfiemia Sylvania"

"(Well I guess is should change my name to commoner from now on.)"
Rhen decided to go to her tea party this morning.
Most quest or event will take at least half a day to progress, one in the morning and one in the afternoon. Once Rhen goes home, he can do his assignments or quests that require him to venture out into Neotopia in the evening. If there are no quests he can enjoy his free time exploring Neocademy or the tropical island of Neotopia.
After changing into your uniform, he went to check on Azrel's apartment, but after realizing no one is home, he heads down to the lobby only to be greeted by a receptionist he does not recognize.
"(They're probably at school right now.)"
Rhen wants to keep his relationship with Aliana strictly professional from now on, but he doesn't want to cease contact with her completely. She can still be his friend, and she may have people she may introduce him to.
He heads to parking lot and time he ditches the Lambo; and instead chose a black sedan as his main ride since the Lambo garners way too much attention from the students.

Morning (Thur) Spring 4 Year 1
Noble's gate, Noble's section, Neocademy.
-----------------------------------------
He arrives just in time for Alfie's tea party outside the Noble's area gate. The Royal carriage stands in front of the gate, with Gandor at the side, awaiting Rhen's arrival. He notices him and greets him with a bow.
"Good morning Sir! Are you ready for your date with the princess?" He spoke in an uplifting tone.
"Date? I wouldn't really call it that, but sure I suppose." He questions Gandor's choice of words, but then again, Alfie just stated in her letter that he's her suitor and not the other way around.
Rhen wonder as to why she assumed it that way since he never confessed nor have any feelings towards her. However, it's not something to lose sleep over, and he can easily clear things up with her later at the tea party.
His eyes wander towards the guard's direction and notice they are griping their pikes a bit too firmly for comfort, to the point one can see the veins pop in their hands.
"Am I even allowed to be inside?" Rhein points, asking Gandor, weather of not they would attack him, the moment he steps foot beyond the gate.
"As long as you have permission or a referral from the inside, then yes. However, you can only enter up to the leisure area or the lower levels" Gandor reassures everything will be alright, he then opens the door for Rhen like he does with the royals.
Rhen heads inside the Royal carriage and take in the luxurious atmoshere presented to him. The air was thick with the scent of fine leather and polished wood, mingling with the delicate fragrance of freshly cut flowers.
The walls, adorned with a lavish display of gold and silver, exuded an air of grandeur that was simply breathtaking. Every surface seemed to shimmer and gleam, casting a glow that enveloped the entire space.
The carriage may not be as fast as a car, but its luxury is second to none.
Gandor enters, sitting on the other end of the seat in front of Rhen; as soon as he instructs the driver to move, the driver flicks the reins and the carriage slowly enters the Noble's area.
Rhen peers out the window and marvel at the Elven architecture presented before him. The place exuded an enchanting ambiance, a sanctuary where it leaned heavily towards embracing the natural world.
The air was alive with the sweet scent of blooming flowers, their vibrant colors painting a picturesque backdrop against the lush greenery that enveloped the surroundings.
The Elves use white marble as a base building material with vines and various fauna decorating the side and pillars of the buildings, as compared to the more modern and rigid architecture you see on the Main Campus.
The cobblestone road is shaded by tall Elven trees, and the canals are so clean it is more akin to a small creek than a sewer, Rhen can even see fishes of all sizes swim past by the carriage as the canal is teeming with life.
They pass by the various cafe's and restaurants that cater to the Elven cuisine, namely salads and fruit juices. Rhen spots an interesting quirk to the Elven culture, while most younger High Elves tap away at their smartphones, the High Elven teachers use flip-phones instead. The teachers look more akin to the usual medieval fantasy High Elf back in the middle ages. He wonders how will they react once they see Frendon's police chief Mathew if he decides to visit this location.
The further in they go, the less modern technology they can see, it is as if they are traveling back in time the further they go.
Rhen is still in the lower levels and he can clearly see another gate further inside, which marks the boundary between the lower and middle levels. he marvels at what other things could possibly exist in the middle level or even the higher levels of this school's section.
Will he able to find some living dinosaurs? Or maybe some ancient eldritch abomination waiting to be discovered.
"Can we go there!?" Rhen's curiosity got the better of him and he can't help but ask Gandor and point toward the higher levels like a child.
Unfortunately, Gandor shakes his head. "I am sorry Sir Rhen, the higher levels are only meant for the High Elven nobles for safety purposes.
Rhen lets out a disgruntled sigh, feeling let down, he sulks his shoulders and sink in his seat. It's possible he can still sneak inside, but for now, he has an appointment with Alfie.
The carriage parks on the side of the road near a lavish café that seemed to cater exclusively to the elites and nobles.
"We're here." Said Gandor, he opens the doors for Rhen and bows with outstretched arms.
"Her Highness is coming." Said the random High Elven girl.
"No She's in the Alcove waiting for someone, could it be Monmondor? Or even Princess Aliceteria!"
The crowd gathers around the carriage in anticipation of catching a glimpse of the elusive younger princess. Unbeknownst to them, a man with a sharp look makes his way out of the carriage.
Rhen fastens his collar and clothes like nobody's business before following Gandor.
"Gasp! He's human, did Princess Alfie invite him? Is he her suitor?"
The gossip spread like wildfire faster than any piece of controversial news in Chirpper. The High Elves with their long ears catch any juicy gossip even the most inconsequential than any Human or race could
Still, like a gentleman, Rhen pays them no heed and follows Gandor.
Inside the cafe, he discovers Alfie waiting for him in one of the Alcoves in the midst of a noble garden. There are smaller Alcoves nearby where several High Elven couples have their dates.
In rare occasions, an Orc and a High elf can be found in another Alcove in a more secluded place.
"Oh Gork, you are so lovely and big."
"Gork is a good orc."
Rhen felt a faint but noticable murderous intent hiding in the treeline, It was Emma. She's scribbling down some words on her notes again. Despite Rhen telling her off yesterday, it seems she didn't got the memo.
"Note, at exactly 9 am, the perverted transfer student just arrive to meet the Princess. If he attacks the Princess just like how he did with Her Highness Iris, I'm gonna end his life." She wrote.
Just like with the gossipers, Rhen pays her no mind for she's harmless against him.
Gandor walks up to Alfie. "My lady, your guest has arrived."
"Great, you may leave now Gandor." With an air of haughty superiority, she dismisses him with a flick of her hand, as if he were nothing more than a lowly servant.
"As you wish my lady." Gandor shakes his head then sighs before bowing and obediently retreats, leaving her to her own devices.
Rhen knew Alfie has a bitchy attitude, but her actions towards her servant raises some serious red flags as how she will treat him. Still, despite knowing her true nature, it didn't intimidate him in anyway. Moreover it emboldened him further to try and conquer the princess.
"I'm glad you made it." Alfie said, she turns her face towards him and curls her lips, her smile is as fake as a cheap brand imitation.
Though Rhen dislikes her attitude, he reciprocated her with a smile of his own and kiss the back of her hand like he always does to the High-class women in Kadwein.
"Of course, didn't you invite me princess?" Rhen's remark was sarcastic yet alluring at the same time causing her to flush.
He then sit at an angle facing closer to her instead of sitting on the other side of the table, she may be a haughty aristocrat, but for Rhen she is just another girl right for the taking.
