The night still continued quietly in the Magic Academy, Strapelts, where the students and students were already asleep in their sleep in their respective dormitories.
Some of them are still awake, including Alexander.
He and the other students gathered in the Academy Supervisory room. Having a position as the Head of Supervisory as well as the Crown Prince, making himself respected by many people and even the community.
"Is there nothing left?" Some documents he took from his desk drawer. He sat down on a chair and looked at some of his teammates.
There were five of them, including Alexander. Although generally the position as Supervisor of the Academy is done by men, but there are two girls in the team.
"Already, Mr. Alexander", said the girl while taking a ready position on the spot. The other three teammates were standing right beside his left and right, in other words he was standing in the middle.
"Good, then I will explain our duty today."
Alexander got up from the chair and walked towards the four of them. He also shared the documents he took from inside the desk drawer. The document contains at least a list of names and points.
After that he stood in front of his desk.
"Today, as usual we will be on patrol at night. In addition, the document I gave was a list of the names of students and students who were on the move at night. If they go out at night without the permission of the teacher or supervisor, then write their names on paper and give the points that have been determined. Do you all understand?"
"Ready, we get it!"
This activity must be done by them, at least to avoid unwanted events.
At six o'clock in the afternoon students are usually allowed to pass around the academy. But, after the past half-seven hours, students are not allowed to go out.
If they want to go somewhere in this academy, they usually have to ask permission from the instructor or supervisor of the academy.
"Alright, then run your duty!"
After giving the direction, the four teammates immediately walked out of the room and dispersed. They instantly walked and patrolled through every place in the academy.
Alex sighed for a moment and pensively. After all this day, he often felt so tired.
"Well. Why does my body feel more tired than usual?"
He sat back in his chair and slammed his back to lean.
For him, being the crown prince and the supervisor of the academy at the same time was a very painful matter. He must learn and do his job in accordance with the position he has. It's a very heavy job.
At the age of sixteen years, Alex has been demanded so many things by both parents.
Plus her relationship with Elizabeth deteriorated; the girl seemed to keep moving away from her.
"Actually... What do you want Elizabeth?" Alex mutters.
He had no idea what had happened to Elizabeth. When he wanted to meet her, only the cold look and look of disgust that he got from the girl. Who doesn't get sick if they are treated like that?
Alex kept guessing–nerka, whether she had been fed up with their engagement.
"Yes, it makes sense too." Alex did not dispute the idea.
They are engaged politically. Elizabeth's family included nobles with so much wealth, no wonder the King was eager to establish a relationship with them. This engagement happened suddenly. So there's a plausibility too if Elizabeth didn't want to get married in the first place.
"But.it's weird. Since the beginning of our relationship was fine, why has he changed so quickly now?"
It is difficult to guess the nature of a woman for a man. Because, any behavior carried out by them, will cause question marks for men.
"...Huh.... what should I do?", said Alex as he kicked the table. The hour hand kept turning, the night went on and Alex had to do his job.
So he got up from his slump and walked towards the door. Before he pulled the doorknob, a knock was heard.
Tok..
Alex had no other way but to open the door to see who was visiting the room.
When it opened, he was surprised.
"Hi, Prince Alexander. During the night."
The face of a girl he doesn't know, but he does. Red hair and the color of her eyes. She was the girl who fought with Elizabeth whenever they came face to face.
"What's up, Ellise? Didn't you know it was late at night?"
"Fufufu... Can I not visit the fiancee of my good friend Elizabeth? Look at! I've been working hard to bring a basket full of cookies and sweets."
Hearing the girl in front of him speak in a cute tone, as if making Alexander's entire body shudder.
To be honest, he did not know at all how Elizabeth's relationship with Ellise was intertwined. With frequent fights, he assumes that they are rival friends who are chasing something they really want.
Alex realizes that he must carry out his duty, which is to do night patrol.
But Ellise instantly covered the exit with her body so Alex was still standing on the doorstep.
"Can we talk for a moment?"
"I told you I don't have time to serve you. I'm busy."
"Come on, it's been since morning that you've been studying and doing your job as the academy supervisor." Without any direction Ellise entered the room, turning her back to Alex who was still standing at the door. He put the basket he was carrying, also took out a few dozen sweets from it.
Alex patted his face. "Do you have no manners?"
Ellise did not flinch from the chair, she just sat down and smiled at Alexander. His hand quickly picked up a small teapot containing tea and poured it into the cup he had prepared.
"Sit down and enjoy the sweet dishes I've made."
Seeing sweets and cakes lined up on the table, her stomach rang.
"Damn! Why do you have to sound in this situation?!"
Since noon, Alex has not finished his lunch. He was too busy, even to fill his stomach he did not have much time. He thought it was okay if he took a break and enjoyed the sweets with Ellise.
"There are four of them anyway.at least this can ease my duties."
"...Huh.but I can't spend more time with you, Ellise. If you want to talk, talk fast."
"Fufufu. I won't linger."
Finally, with a face of surrender, Alexander sat back in his chair. Where Ellise held out a few dozen cookies in front of her. Some of them are his favorite cakes, Alex thought, from where Ellise knew his favorite food is a honey sandwich cake given fresh fruit slices on it?
"It's funny.. Did Elizabeth tell you that my favorite food was honey cakes?"
"uh? Elizabeth told me? Hahahaha.I'm sorry Prince. Elizabeth is your fiance, and do you know? He's so protective if someone asks about you. You know it's not like if he and I fight every time they meet?"
Ellise took a cup of tea and graciously sipped the tea.
Alex just kept quiet, propping up his chin with his left hand; he picked up some cake and ate it right away.
The cake tasted so sweet in his mouth, Alex was gobsmacked. It was unexpected if the cake that Ellise fruit was so delicious and tender.
"Sugary.and the texture is so soft."
Alex took back a few pieces of cake and he ate right away.
Ellise glanced at Alexander for a moment, watching the man eat his cake voraciously she smiled. He had not expected that his plan to approach Alexander would be so easy. All this he did in order to destroy Alexander's relationship with Elizabeth.
"Well, if I spend any more time with Alexander, it's certain that our relationship will be even closer! Fufufu.. It went according to my plan."
Ellise put down the cup she was holding and watched Alexander eating the cake with a single mouthful.
Her cute...
The girl smiled and laughed in her heart. For a long time he had been waiting for this day to happen, if only he could convince Alexander that he loved him, then he would be very happy.
But, there was something more important he had to do, which was to get rid of Elizabeth.
Ellise had already prepared her cunning plan if she suddenly met Elizabeth. Although the plan looks so simple, it requires a powerful alibi to convince Alexander if Elizabeth injures him.
"And after that, I just waited for the right time until she called off her engagement to Elizabeth. Ahahaha! Ellise you're great!"
Ellise was not aware that her behavior had been noticed by Alexander since.
When their eyes met, Ellise pretended to cough and fixed her sitting position again.
"Ekhmm. I'm sorry Prince. There's a funny thing on my mind that I still think about."
"It seems so funny? Can I figure it out?"
Ellise smiled strangely.
"Damn! I need to make this conversation as interesting as possible. Otherwise, it could mess up my plans!"
All Ellise did was invent something and she told Alexander with such an interesting narrative. Making the man laugh and drown in the conversation of the two of them. Alex seems oblivious to the mask Ellise wears during the conversation.
Without realizing it, Alex Sudar was exposed to the deceit of the girl in front of him.
