She waved her hand at them while smiling faintly. She held on to his hand tightly while following him to the parking lot. She could feel how jealous he was. She stopped from her tracks and he turned to look at her. She wrapped her arms around his torso and rested her head on his chest. He let out a deep sigh and hugged her back.

"Icchan, I love you." She said softly and this made him smile. He felt assured with her words. He gave her a gentle kiss on her lips and she smiled while kissing him back.

After that, they went inside his car to go back to his house. She called her parents so that she will stay a night at his place and they let them spend time together. Her face turned crimson when she realized that he prepared a couple pajamas for them. She took the larger ones and tried it on. She didn't need the pajama pants anymore since the pajama shirt was covering her legs already.

"If you will not wear something underneath, I might get tempted." The Fourth Prince said while lying down on the bed. He rested his head on his arm while staring at her.

"But I'm your fiancée already." She said as she unbuttoned the pajama shirt and took it off. She turned her back on him and he raised a brow while examining her figure.

"Are you seducing me?" He asked and she smiled cheekily while wearing the pair of pajamas of her own size. After buttoning up, she went to his side and snuggled closer to him. He placed a kiss on her crown and she rested her head on his chest.

"I don't like it when other men are taking advantage of you. Even if he is our friend or not." He suddenly confessed. She looked at him, feeling bad for what happened earlier.

"It was not your fault though. Don't feel bad. If he did it again, tell me. I'll never let it pass for the second time." She nodded, feeling that he is so serious about it. She didn't expect that he will feel threatened by it.

"I only love Icchan. My feelings will never change." She whispered, closing her eyes while smiling softly. He placed another kiss on her crown.

It was Monday and she felt awkward the moment she stepped in the classroom. The first person she saw that day was the Second Prince. She received a message from her fiancé that he was already on his way to Royal High. She placed her bag down on the desk and took her seat. She was able to finish her project with the help of the Fourth Prince yesterday. She felt relieved when the Sixth and Ninth Princesses finally arrived. She smiled at them and then, she noticed a figure behind the First Prince who just arrived at the same time with two princesses.

"Hello, I'm a transferee here." The girl smiled at them and the Sixth Princess looked away. She picked her makeup bag and went out to go to the nearest restroom.

She quickly followed her while the Ninth Princess smiled at them first before placing her bag down on her desk and following her two best friends. The First Prince pointed to the vacant desk next to his and the girl smiled before occupying it. The Fifth Princess called for the younger one and grabbed her arm. Her eyes widened when she found her crying. The Sixth Princess wiped her tears and quickly hugged her tight.

"She had a date with him." She confessed and the older one immediately hugged her back. The Ninth Princess ran towards them and gently caressed her back.

"So, that girl is the heiress of Ishikawa Corporations?" The older one asked and she nodded. The Ninth Princess saw the Fourth Prince arriving and she gently nudged the Fifth Princess to inform her.

"I should have expected that she would transfer here because of him. I should have prepared myself for it. It's painful to see them together." The Sixth Princess continued while sobbing silently. They urged her to go to the restroom for a while since there are students looking at them.

"Icchan, I'll just go to the restroom with Lauren and Fuyu." She said to her fiancé when he approached them. He nodded and gave her a smile before proceeding to their classroom.

He raised a brow when he saw the Second Prince. From now on, he will be cautious. He didn't like what he did to his fiancée. He placed his bag down and noticed the unfamiliar figure. She smiled at him and then, the First Prince introduced her. He took his seat and assumed that she transferred to Royal not because of the First Prince but because of the Second Prince. He could tell because she kept on looking at him even though he was not interested in her.

"Something happened between Kazuma and I." The Sixth Princess confessed after crying. She threw the used tissue to the trash bin and washed her face with cold water.

"You mean, that?" The Fifth Princess and she nodded. The Ninth Princess just listened to them even though her mind was already flying away.

"I know it shouldn't happen but it already happened. I took pills, don't worry." She assured them and then, the Fifth Princess noticed that the youngest among them was staring down at the floor.

"Fuyu, I think you should tell us something." She urged her to confess and the youngest one bit her lips gently. She could feel her cheeks heating up.

"Sho and I.. we.. slept together in his tree house. That time.. we.. just.. spent time together. Nothing else aside from.. kissing and hugging." Her cheeks turned crimson as she also remembered the hug she received from the Student Council President when she was preparing dinner.
