Etiquette (3)

"From the moment I first laid eyes on you, my vision was filled with light." Tanya began speaking in a calm tone, warmly smiling towards Hina.

"Oh...st-stop that!" Hina tried to turn her face away as she blushed so brightly that even she could feel the heat.

"Your emerald eyes are more pure than gemstones hoarded by the most ancient of dragons, your smooth white skin that is brighter than the most beautiful of moonlight. And your deep ocean blue strands of silky hair… all of this is too beautiful to be looked upon by mortal eyes." Tanya continued, tightening her grasp on Hina. Pulling her as close as two can be, Tanya had set the scene for a beautiful romance.

For an emperor that had once been at the peak of the world, Tane had met many women. Each and every one of them had different personalities and quirks, but Tane did not work on standard classification. He was cunning by heart and analytical by nature. Every person had a tailored profile within his mind, every enemy was a person of note. Tane was loved by many, but he never loved anyone back.

He may have felt attraction, but it was fleeting. His flirtation was only for [Charm]. Sure it may have been entertaining for him, but he never really connected.

When he realised that raising his levels could raise his attributes, Tane focused on [Charm]. With that one stat, he could swindle and seduce his way into better positions; positions that would afford him a great deal of resources. A soldier and a politician.

"Lady Verm-" Hina was suddenly cut off with a finger hovering over her soft and lively lips.

"Call me Tanya~" Tanya winked.

"Mommy~"

'This girl…' Tanya did not expect herself to do so well in seducing Hina.

"How dare she…" Yuri gave a cold glare towards Hina, clenching her fists behind her back.

'Trying to resist and then becoming like a puppy in front of Tanya? Playing hard to get? You better not disappoint.' Yuri inwardly declared.

"My my… What makes you call me 'mommy'? Do you perhaps think of me as a maternal figure? Do I look so old to you? How could you be so mean to me…?" Tanya shedded a fake tear.

"No...no! That's not what I meant…" Hina became extremely flustered.

"Or perhaps these remind you of your mother's?" Tanya pulled Hina's face in between her chest.

"Hina is in Heaven..." A drooling girl spoke with a perverted smile.

"Maybe if I call her 'mommy', she will also let me do that…" Another girl began getting lost in thought.

"MOMMY!"

"MOMMY!!!"

The crowd went wild as the freshmen girls began screaming out in unison, trying to make their voices louder than each other. Each one of them more shameless than the last.

"Yuri, why aren't you screaming out 'mommy' too?" Diana asked expectantly.

"Because Tanya wouldn't want me to make her feel old.." Yuri gave the most innocent face possible, shrouding herself in holy light.

"You might be missing your chance to touch her chest." Diana reminded with a sly grin.

"I can touch them whenever I like, unlike you." Yuri stuck her tongue out with confidence.

"Yuri! That is so improper!" Diana exclaimed in shock, taking a step back.

"Says you, I know you have been looking at them too. I even saw some drool just about to stream out of your mouth. If you also want Tanya's milk, just say so." Yuri facepalmed.

"You say that so casually." Diana plainly spoke, seeming disturbed.

"It's milk, what's wrong about it? My mom gave me milk from there all of the time when I was little. What is wrong with Tanya giving me some milk too?" Yuri honestly seemed a bit confused.

"I give up." Diana walked away toward the food and drinks table, and sat down with a cup of tea in her grasp.

"Wow… this has opened my eyes. The world is so big and I now see that I was only a frog stuck in a well." A boy said with an awakened expression.

"Me too… this is just too amazing. I think I might devote myself to seeing more of this…"

"Me too." Pendragon said while drooling.

*Cough* *Cough*

"Alright, everyone! Time to put in your votes!" Rosellia immediately stopped the event and went straight to the votes. Such a thing had never happened in her class before.

She was more or less excited to see who her mysterious dragon would be.

"Yey! Time to vote." Everyone began walking over to a lane filled with voting booths, finding empty spots one by one.

"How do I spell Tanya?" A girl asked.

"I think it is T A N I A."

"No, it is T A N I Y A."

"Wrong, it is T A N N Y I A."

"T A N Y E A."

"It is definitely T A N Y A."

"Now what about Vermillion?"

"V I R M…"

Discussions like these were commonplace throughout the entirety of the voting process. It seemed everyone was scared of getting only one person's name wrong. Barely anyone asked for the spelling of someone else's name.

"How do I spell Arthur Pend-"

Immediately a dark void full of countless stares of killing intent surround the poor girl.

"EEECK!"

"I mean Tanya Vermillion..!!!"

That was the very last person to ask for the spelling of another person's name.

While some may think it is odd for so many young noblemen and noblewomen to ask for spelling, one must remember that family names are often not associated with real words and are as varied as the beams of light that populate the day.

"Okay, I will now use the record reader to display the votes fairly and without bias!"
