The bell rang signaling the end of school, Renjiro stood hastily and was about walking out of class when he remembered he had to wait for lyra, he looked around trying to see if he could catch a glimpse of her. He saw her having a conversation with one of the girls in his class whose name he could not remember, he waited patiently till she was done.
"zephyrus!" she called out happily as she walked towards him
"she acts mor more cheerfully towards me these days it seemed like the guilt of her actions has changed her" he thought to himself while waving at her.
They both walked out of the classroom, and met professor Ophelia standing just outside their classroom with her arms crossed beneath her already massive bosoms making them look far more imposing, Renjiro gulped hard as he looked at her because she left a few buttons open and her bosoms looked to be spilling out, lyra tugged at his arm and dragged him towards the school exit.
"What is wrong with her? You said nothing happened between the two of you but it seems to me like she is stalking you at school" lyra asked as soon as they were seated inside the vehicle
"I am telling you; I honestly don't know she might be obsessed with me" renjiro said with a smile
"You must think so highly of yourself" lyra said with a huff and looked away
Renjiro took out a tab and a holographic screen pooped up, he selected a game from the options available to him, the game was a bit like tennis but each part of the board had a different score if the opponent doesn't hit the ball back, he discovered the game the first time he rode to school without lyra and was rummaging through the content of the tablet.
Lyra turned to look at him but didn't make any comments, she turned back to the window by her side and took in the scenery as the vehicle zoomed past, the car slowed down and stopped in front of the castle, Renjiro stepped down he was expecting lyra to join him but she stayed put in the vehicle.
"Go on ahead without me, I promised little Isolde that I'd play a game with her today. I would be going to the neighboring town tomorrow and you are going with me" lyra said and waved him goodbye
Renjiro wondered whatever it was that she needed to do in town the next day as he pushed open the castle door, the castle was awfully empty today from zephyrus memories he knew that he and his mother were the only members of their family that lived in the castle, caelia had a brother but no one knew of his whereabouts and her father always spent his time in the continent's royal laboratory so he was hardly around. No one ever talked about zephyrus's father whenever zephyrus asked his mother he was always met with silence so he stopped asking. But even with that the castle was never this empty, when he got to the castle's great hall, he saw the armored guards moving a huge vase of flowers and the maids scuttling around.
He wondered what was happening just at that moment caelia walked down the stairs and threw her arm around Renjiro, the sweet flowery scent of her body wafted into his nose. He once again suppressed his perverse urges, reminding himself that the woman at his side was the mother of the boy who owned the body he was in.
"zephyrus! How was school today" the woman said heartily with a smile
"It was great" renjiro said wondering why she was always in a good mood.
"What is happening here" he asked gesturing towards the activities going on in the great room
"ohh! I am throwing a party today" she said giddily
"What is the occasion" renjiro asked
"Nothing I just felt like throwing one, I invited all the noble families and the families of a few elites. I hope you are on your best behavior today, don't embarrass our guests" she said
Renjiro huffed and shook himself out of her arm, imitating zephyrus. he walked towards his room, as soon as he entered, he shut the door and collapsed on his bed, he still retained most of his perverse and sloth like attributes from his previous life but he couldn't live as he wanted because unlike his previous life he had a parent this time and he also had to hide the fact that he wasn't zephyrus so he had to engage in all activities zephyrus engaged in.
He found it both mentally and physically tasking especially the part where he had to go to school, but he didn't really mind the inconveniences since his present life was considerably better than his previous life. He soon heard a knock on his door and groaned in frustration.
"Come in"
Myoko peeked inside the room before entering, she bowed as soon as she entered ever since that incident, she had been wary of him and at times sent other maids to tend to him.
"your meal is ready young master, but you have to take a bath before coming down to eat them "she said.
"don't bother about that, I wouldn't be coming down to the dining room, bring the food to my room I would eat it here" renjiro instructed
Myoko nodded and walked out of the room, renjiro forced himself up and took off his uniform before heading to have his bath, he had more baths in the past week than his did in the last five years of his previous life, he dried himself and put on a light brown shirt that had the family's crest on it and a pair of black pants. As much as he liked having the, maids tend to him during his bath sessions he had to put an end to it since the incident with myoko.
When he was done, he saw that his food was already served, he wolfed everything down and fell asleep in immediately after.
