"I've come to escort you to the president." Runa's voice rang out in the Year Two Flower Class room.

"Coming!" You popped up and said good bye to Ryota and Yumeko as you rushed out the door.

You flung your arm around Runa's shoulders as she walked with you to the council room. In it was Sayaka, Yuriko, Ririka, Kaede and of course, Kirari. All of whom bowed to you.

Immediately, you sat next to Kirari, giving her your hand to kiss.

"Hello, President. How are you doing today?" You asked.

"Wonderful, Princess. Now, I have much to discuss with you and very little time."

"Is it about Yumeko Jabami?"

"Of course. I find her very interesting. She's challenging all of the council members and I fear that she is moving to either eliminate everyone from the council or simply cause an upset within the school. She has a life plan of course..."

"I know; I wrote it."

"But she won't be stopped so easily. And I do not wish to address this with her much further."

"And so why does that require a conversation with me?" You rolled your eyes at her. "Can someone please give me some food? Kirari, you were vastly under-prepared for a date with me."

"Here, Princess. You may have my food." Kaede slid his lunchbox over to you.

"Thank you, Kaede." You looked into it. "Grilled Mahi-Mahi, with what I assume is a citrus glaze, wild rice on the side; of course with a balsamic spritz."

"No flash frozen lemon sorbet, though. My apologies. Perhaps another time." His lips curled upward slightly, despite the fact he didn't look up from his laptop. It was probably for the best because Kirari was glaring daggers at him.

You laid your hand over hers, reassuringly.

"Continue, please." You nodded as you began eating.

"As I was saying, I would prefer to deal with her sooner rather than later. I know you have shown favor towards her and I ask if you have any direction you would like us to proceed?" Her blue eyes pierced yours.

"I am as interested in her as I am other prodigal people. I am sure I will get to know her sooner rather than later. However, short from harming her, I couldn't care about what you wanted to do with her. She and I hold no relationship between us besides classmates and casual acquaintances. Do not let your jealousy get in the way of your schemes. It wouldn't be any fun for me to watch." You stood up and gave her a kiss on his blue lips. "In fact, I wanted to speak with Yumeko during lunch to see how she felt about her life plan."

As you walked past Kirari, you decided to round the table behind Kaede. It was a bad move. Still, without looking up from his laptop, his hand shot out and grabbed your wrist.

"Eat your lunch. It's not good for you to skip meals. His highness would not be happy."

"Let go, Kaede, I'll be okay without one meal."

"Sit down and eat, Princess. For my sanity. And for Kirari's."
