Once we return, everything went back to normal..except that Cassandra has been hanging out with our group far more.

Cassandra and Anna had been more close than ever, when we just came back from that incident Anna can't stop crying and hugging Cassandra Close..

It's been 3 weeks  since tht incident..at the moment me and the others are outside having a picnic.. it was Tom's idea,since as he said, the cool breeze and the not bright sun scream picnic under a large tree...and so we did

All of us brought food and beverage for our group to enjoy 

"What you said is right Tom! The weather is really best for a picnic!"Anna praised Thomas making the guy scratch his head and smile

"Told ya! Isn't it relaxing resting under the shade of a tree, feeling the gentle breeze of wind touch your face..and lots of good food and drinks too!"

"Now I'm thinking that you just make us do this just so you can eat" I said with a smile

"Though, he's right..eating here and relaxing feels nice, specially with this" Cassandra is holding the chicken sandwich that I made "to think that I can eat such dish like this in here..it's just like buying food from your famous father Desmond"

..I don't know what so good with the sandwich that I made, it's just normal chicken sandwich..I just followed what my dad do

"Glad you like it"

"I need to control my appetite tho, I don't want to gain weight from eating this"

Still as careful as ever..

This kind of  friendly conversation and banter continue for a while..Cassandra had fallen asleep after a whil, with Anna even putting a cloth over her as a blanket from the wind to make her sleep more comfortable

"She must be very tired" said anna looking a bit worried

"Well.." I can only imagine what kind of things she had to deal with.. the fact that she was almost assassinated by a unknown person.. getting poisoned..and what's worse..the prince didn't even join the search for her, the heartless bastard..."she needs a lot of rest"

"I'm glad that she's becoming more open day by day since that incident" Anna smiled

It's true.. I also think that Cassandra trust us more now, I may have been the reason for it..and the fact that Anna and Thomas had joined the search for us... She must like the trust and friendship that we had, now I'm wondering how was her life all this time...don't she have any friends from that noble class? Heck..what even is the prince doing..ignoring her, she's an amazing woman in my book

"Also..that prince, I'm getting angry just by thinking about it.." Anna whispered...since even if he's an ass, he's still royalty

"True, to think that prince didn't even join the search party.." Thomas added

The two of them are really mad at the prince huh?...

"Oh my...look at this sight" a voice of. Woman and footstep of many went straight at us "how unsightly"

. . . . I stared at her

And when she notice she hid her face with her folding hand fan "oh my, are you taken aback by my beau-"

"Pardon who are you?"

"Wha- how dare you!"

No really...who is this girl?

"Commoners.." she said with such disgust "I am Celeste Hayness the only daughter of Duke Hayness!, you should bow down  to me commoner"

She's being followed by a bunch of people..other nobles and.. that girl..it's the girl that I saved before..and the girl that was paired up with Cassandra.. she's not looking at us at all

"Nice too meet you again, miss emelie red right?" I said with a smile

"Y-yes?" She answered surprise that I remember her name

"Do you know her?" Anna ask

"Yeah? Kinda?"

...with that gesture it seems it made hayness angry, angry enough that she shouts "you dare ignore me!?"

Thomas than tries to sush her for being noise..but it seems that he's too late

"Celeste hayness of house hayness.. you are as obnoxious as ever I see, treating my friends like this and being too noisy that you wake me up from a good nap " yep... This is why people is normally scared of her, Cassandra's magic and pressure is overflowing making the other people that don't know her as much as we do scared from just looking "you know that your not just talking to mere commoners are you? You are talking to the top students of class B..they are far stronger and have higher grades that any of you all... You need to give them respect"

"R-respect? Even if they are top students they are still-"

"So your saying that I'm wrong to give them respect?" She uses more of her magic ..

With that Celeste Hayness left,angry..along with the others with her..but Emelie Red bows to use before following them

"Why is that girl with them? She don't seem to be bad" Ask  Thomas

"She's a commoner sent here to study and became a personal servant of lady hayness" Cassandra answers

"Oh... That gotta suck" Thomas reacts

"Thanks for making them leave Cassandra...and sorry for letting them wake you up like that" Anna hugs Cassandra..the heroine and the villainess being friendly to each other..pretty weird if you think about it..

.

More hours passed and Cassandra stands up "I think we should stop for the day, I will be having a visitor for today so.."

"Oh! It's fine! I'm happy that you came with us" Anna said smiling at Cassandra

"It's nothing, being with you three eases my mind a lot. Oh and Desmond"

"Hmm?"

"You'll be coming with me, this visitor also wanted to see you"

. . . The visitor..it's not his father is it?

"O-okay? I'll do with you then"

"Thanks"

"Well then! I guess I'll make sure Anna gets in her dorm room safely! Oh and don't worry about the basket Desmond! I'll bring it in your dorm"

"Alright thanks"

Then we all went our separate ways, Anna with Thomas.. and me with Cassandra
