On Sunday morning when there was no class, I went down for breakfast.

When I went there, everyone was gathered around the seat that I always sat in.

“Yerine, here!”

Astra waved gladly.

The smile that made me feel good just by looking at it made me laugh.

“Oh, you’re all here.”

“Yerine, eat quickly. Today’s menu is really good.”

Erica told me, shoving eggs, bacon, toast, and all sorts of delicious-looking foods.

“And there’s molasses pudding.”

Cassius also pushed pudding towards me.

“No, Erica, are you done eating? You didn’t give me yours, did you?

“No, here’s my plate.”

Erica said, pointing to a plate of a half-eaten omelette.

“I got yours in advance and gave it to you now.”

“Erica is right. I saw her doing that from the side, so you can eat it with confidence.”

Rachel laughed as if she couldn’t help it.

“Well, really? Then thank you, Erica.”

I put bacon in my mouth with a fork and said it.

Erica looked at me with delight, and the corners of her mouth rose above.

“But Cassius, isn’t this pudding is Cassius’s?”

Cassius gave me two puddings, and there were no plates around Cassius with any marks of puddings.

‘No matter how much I look, it seems like he gave me his own.’

“Not eating pudding doesn’t kill you. So it’s okay.”

“What are you talking about? All humans need sugar!”

“Yes, I’ll correct it. You might die if you don’t eat one, but I’m fine, Yerine. So you eat it all.”

“Hey, come on, eat. I only need one.”

I said, pushing a pudding back toward Cassius.

“It’s so unfortunate that you can’t enjoy this beautiful and fantastic taste. Come on, let’s be happy together.”

“Yerine, as a person who said that you’re holding the pudding plate too hard.”

“Oh, I’m sorry. I instinctively……”

Meanwhile, a familiar voice was heard.

“Just eat it, Spade. You were looking at it with desperate eyes.”

It was Eugene.

Unlike the other children who welcomed me as soon as I came, I didn’t notice him because he was sitting next to Rachel and eating quietly.

“No, I didn’t look so desperate.”

Then Cassius answered back to me.

“Yerine, Eugene is right. I had no choice but to give it to you. Just relax. I feel like I’ll become a bad person if I eat this.”

“No, it’s not like that. Really.”

“Let’s just eat, Yerine.”

“Okay then. Thank you, Cassius, I’ll repay you one day.”

“No, you don’t have to say that.”

In the end, I was defeated by Cassius’s torch and accepted the pudding again.

“But why are you here?”

I asked, looking at Eugene sitting at the end of the long table with a pudding plate in front of him.

“You don’t usually eat with other people.”

“I came here first and was eating, and they settled around me.”

The line, “You shy man!” came to the end of my voice, but I didn’t spit it out.

If I said that, I’m sure Eugene would throw away his breakfast and ask me to fight.

“Well, I see.”

“What, what’s wrong with your expression? What are you imagining?”

“Well, nothing!”

Eugene still looked at me with suspicious eyes.

Astra burst into laughter when she saw Eugene, and Rachel laughed after Astra.

“Jacqueline, it’s because of you. Stop laughing.”

“Oh sorry. I just said that Eugene looked so lonely that we should sit down with him…….”

“I never said I was lonely. I never asked you to sit with me.”

Eugene spoke sternly, but no one heard him.

“But isn’t it nice to eat with us, Eugene? It’s more fun than eating alone.”

Eugene did not answer Astra’s words and focused on his meal.

“Right, Eugene?”

“Think as you like.”

Eugene’s ears were slightly red when he answered like that.

‘That’s nice of you, man.’

I’m not the only one who thought so since Astra and Rachel were also looking at Eugene with a mother’s benevolent face as if they were looking at her adolescent son.

While eating happily, I suddenly noticed that there was no familiar face.

“You know, where’s Rayl?”

“Huh?”

“Rayl. Astra’s here so why isn’t he here? Where’d he go?”

Usually, where Astra is located, Rayl was always with her.

And there were many times when the two usually played tricks on Eugene.

But strangely, I couldn’t see his green hair today.

“Oh, Rayl rushed out last night because he had something to do at his house.”

Astra answered by scratching her cheek.

“At night? In the middle of the night?”

“Yeah.”

Suddenly leaving the Academy in the middle of the night seemed quite a big deal.

‘No way. I don’t think the Duke of Diamonds is down or anything. I hope not that wasn’t the case.’

I hoped my prediction would be wrong, but unfortunately, it was a pretty likely hypothesis.

Rayl was quite seriously concerned about the health of the Duke of Diamonds.

‘Well, he looked pretty bad at the meeting.’

His face is like a ghost, his cheeks are slim, and he doesn’t talk much.

“He said he’d be back in a few days, but he couldn’t even write an absence notice because he was in such a hurry.”

Rachel said with a worried look.

“Oh, really? That Rayl?”

“I know. I don’t know what’s going on, but I hope it works out.”

Rachel said, putting her finger around her mouth.

“Oh, by the way, isn’t Yerine also absent from class tomorrow?”

Astra asked with a flick of her finger.

Someone clanged at the words and dropped a spoon on the plate.

“Yerine isn’t coming tomorrow……?”

It was Erica who dropped the spoon.

She looked very shocked to hear that I was leaving school tomorrow.

As soon as I saw her turquoise eyes and trembling eyelashes as if she was shocked, I felt like I was a high treason criminal.

“Oh, Erica, no! I’ll be back in the afternoon after a short visit. So I’ll be here in the afternoon!”

“You’ll come back very soon……Really?”

“Well, of course!”

In fact, I could do more for Erica.

If Erica really wanted to do so, I could even miss the Housekeepers Meeting.

But it wasn’t a very good choice.

In order to be Trump and spend the rest of my life building a beautiful villa for Erica, it was important to attend the Housekeepers Meeting now.

“But Astra, how did you know?”

“Oh, I was talking to my father…… I’m sorry, am I not supposed to talk about it?”

Astra asked, rolling her eyes anxiously.

I waved my hand at her, saying.

“No, I was just really curious. It’s okay.”

“Oh, thank God. I was wondering if that was a secret that I didn’t notice.”

Astra swept down her chest and breathed a sigh of relief.

Cassius, who had been silent while staring at others until then, opened his mouth.

“Then Yerine will go out with me tomorrow, right?”

“What?”

Surprised by Cassius’ words, I turned to the side.

His gold eye was emitting the same light as usual, and his voice was no different from usual.

“I’m going out of class tomorrow, too.”

“Really?”

“Yeah. There was a call from the palace.”

Then Erica opened her mouth in a dry voice, showing that she didn’t like that very much.

“Well, that doesn’t mean you two have to go together. The appointment time is also different.”

“Haha, Blothea. I’m saying we’re going out together because we have a similar appointment time.”

Cassius responded with a fresh smile without losing.

“But even if the appointment time is similar, there’s no reason to go out together, right? You’ll be going to a different place anyway.”

Eugene also put down his fork and naturally participated in the conversation.

“It’s a similar place to arrive. It’s not much different.”

“Isn’t it just your thoughts? You don’t mean to say that the place of appointment is close by being within the same continent, right?”

Erica said, looking at Cassius with suspicious eyes.

“They’re so close that it only takes a few minutes by carriage.”

“No matter how much the destinations are on the same site, it won’t take only a few minutes to get from Noble State Field to the Palace.”

In the end, Eugene, who knows well about the Housekeepers Meeting, caught him.

“See? You lied again.”

At Eugene’s words, Erica narrowed her eyes and sympathized.

Cassius grumbled with an expression of regret.

“Tsk. I can’t say anything. If you’re jealous, you should also be absent and leave.”

“That’s cheap, really.”

Eugene quietly shook his head in place, then Erica complained.

“Yeah, you think I can’t do it? I’d like to write an absence notice, too.

Erica slapped her spoon down and got up, and at that moment I panicked and dropped my fork.

“No, wait a minute. Erica, calm down.”

Looking at me like that, Erica looked determined.

“Yerine, wait a minute. I’ll make a good reason and submit my absence notice.”

“You’re going to make an absence notice for tomorrow today? Is that possible?”

Astra asked with her eyes wide open.

To be honest with you, it was hard.

“I’ll be right back.”

Erica really stopped eating and was on the verge of going over the absence, so she got up and shouted.

Erica, listen to me for a second!! Someone stop her!”

Eventually, Astra and Rachel rushed out and returned with Erica.

“Erica, calm down. Please, don’t write an absence notice.”

“Well, okay. If that’s what Yerine wants.”

Only then could I breathe a sigh of relief.

She can skip classes, but I shouldn’t be the reason for it.

‘I should be careful when I go out tomorrow as well.’

I swallowed the words inside and picked up the spoon again.

Erica was still looking at Cassius with glowing eyes, and Cassius was secretly expressing joy with a smile of victory.

Eugene was looking at them pitifully, and Astra and Rachel were looking at each other with a desolate look.

‘Well, it’s peaceful again today.’

I mumbled the omelette into my mouth and told myself as if I was chanting a spell.
