"W-What?" Yuuri stuttered, trying not into get into trouble.
Before Wolfram could reply, an arm was stretched out before Yuuri. "Don't express your anger in here, Your Highness." Amberyl sneered. "Your Majesty, Your Highnesses, please, proceed." She bowed, showing the way.
"How rude." Wolfram muttered. He was about to argue further but, Schneizel put a hand on his shoulder and shook his head. The green-eyed boy grumbled before following the others.
The Visitors were said to stay in the clubhouse and Nunnally had expressed her surprise in seeing both her mother and father in Area 11. When everyone was asleep, Amberyl went over to the Boy's Dorms and knocked on Yuuri's room. She heard a cry of "Come in."
She twisted the knob and entered. She noticed Yuuri's shocked expression. "What's a Britannian Princess doing here?"
Amberyl ignored Yuuri's question and sat on the seat near the latter. "I'm sorry about Wolfram. He's acts really weird when he meets new people."
"What kind of person is he?" Yuuri nonchalantly asked.
"Well, he's spoiled. But, here's the catch: it's only a façade. He'll only express himself when he's around people he really trusts. There's a special sign for that. Also, there's also a sign to know that but, no one except Schneizel-onii-chan knows that and, he won't tell us."
Yuuri leaned closer, eager to hear more. "Why are you asking, anyway?"
Yuuri returned to his original position. "Nothing."
Amberyl stood up and went over to the door. "I have to go before Lelouch notices my absence. O~ya~su~mi~na~sai, Yuuri."
After she closed the door behind her, she took out her earpiece which was connected to her phone. "Go on with the plan."
~]o[~ (means next day)
Before the classes, Charles took Lelouch's free time to talk to him in private.
"What is it, Father?" he asked. The older man cleared his throat. "I'm sure Marianne already talked about your engagement, right?"
Lelouch slowly looked away. "Father, is it alright if I… choose my partner?"
Charles blinked. "Is the 17th heir finally falling in love with a girl?"
"Ah, well, yes. That seems to be it." He straightened himself, trying not to show weakness in front of his own dad. "She's a close friend of mine and, well, she's been very kind."
"Alright, I'll see what I can do. When will I meet her?"
"Father, well, recently, I heard that she's in EU, visiting a friend of hers. She might be back in a few days though."
Charles rose from his seat and glanced back at his son. "I'll try to ask V.V. about it."
Lelouch smiled. "Thanks, dad."
Amberyl suddenly opened the door, saying, "Lelouch! Milly said-." She stopped mid-sentence when she saw Charles. "Oh, sorry, dad. I didn't know you were talking to him about the engagement."
"Amberyl vi Britannia. I heard that you disobeyed Cornelia's orders to choose your knight."
Amethyst eyes widened at the remark. "Um… I don't need one."
"Too late," Lelouch said. "I already picked one and he's on school campus, watching your every move." He retorted.
Amberyl muttered something like, "I'll find him." Her face turned into another frown. "Also, Milly said that we'll be having a meeting after class." After that, she went out, waving a goodbye to her father.
Lelouch stood up himself and went out, bidding Charles goodbye. 'Don't tell me it's another event but, knowing Milly, she's going to do something crazy again. I just wish C.C. won't be back until then or Milly will think something even worse.' He thought. 'C.C., where ARE you?' this sentence kept playing in his mind, not allowing him to concentrate on Music class.
"Mister Lamperouge, I'm asking you, who the composer is nicknamed 'The Genius among Geniuses'?" The music teacher, Ms. Anne, asked him.
He snapped out of his reverie, looking at her. She's always been this strict to him. It was obvious that everyone knew this and now, she thought she would actually have him trapped.
"Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Miss Anne." He replied, smirking. The teacher was taken aback by him. She narrowed her eyes. "Alright, let's proceed." She was going to say something but then, the bell rang. He glanced at the empty seat beside him. 'Where's Wolfram?' he thought. Another voice interrupted his thoughts through the speaker. "Lunch Time everyone! Student Council members, proceed to the Council room, now! We will have a meeting! And I mean NOW!!" The president said.
Lelouch stood up, fixing his things. He noticed a shadow in front of him so; he looked up, seeing Wolfram. "Prince Wolfram, is there something you need?"
"I need to get out of here. Your President is planning something and I don't like it." He hissed.
"You should ask you knight since, I, do not know any way out." He lied.
"Don't lie. As a prince, I order you to find a way to get me out of here!" he commanded, keeping his voice low and harsh.
Yuuri went near them, handing Lelouch some papers. "Vice Pres, here are the-." Lelouch suddenly snatched the parchments and said, "Here's your solution! Ask Yuuri!" and sped out.
Wolfram gawked at his half-brother. "Lelouch!"
Yuuri blinked. "What did he say?" he said.
Wolfram crossed his arms and pouted. "You heard him. I'm asking; get me out of the school without anyone noticing."
'Is that a favor or a command?' he thought. He bowed. "Of course, Your Highness."
They went out of the classroom and into the hallways. Yuuri was inspecting a room when somebody pushed both of them into a nearby closet. The closet was big enough to fit them but, they had to stand with their bodies touching each other.
"This place is too small! Move over!"
"Hate to disobey you, Your Highness but, as you can see, there's no place to move to." Yuuri said, annoyed.
"When I find out who did this, I'm going to sue them!" he cursed.
'Isn't it time to think that you're not in a situation to say that?' He thought, eyeing the blonde prince pressed against him.
"What ARE you staring at!?" Wolfram suddenly shrieked, making Yuuri want to cover his ears.
"I wasn't staring! I swear!" he lied.
Suddenly, the closet door opened and since Yuuri was pushing Wolfram, they landed with the blonde boy under.
They heard a small sound of a 'click' and then looked up, seeing Anya holding her phone. "Recorded. Thank you." She said in her usual monotonous tone. Amberyl and Lelouch came in, carrying small stacks of paperwork. The older brother almost dropped his stack when he saw the awkward position the two were in.
"Uh… What are the two of you doing?" he asked, smirking.
Upon snapping back to his senses, he stood up and waved his arms frantically. "I-It's not w-what you t-think!"
Amberyl raised a brow. "So, you're saying tat you weren't pushed into the closet forcefully and then, accidentally fell into that position?" she said, formulating what might have happened.
"AUGHHH!!! You're still impossible!!!!" Wolfram exclaimed as he stomped his way out.
Yuuri was still recovering from the blonde's noisy complaints when he stood up. "Ow." He said, rubbing both of his ears.
Unnoticed to them, Amberyl had an earpiece attached to her ear. "Phase two accomplished." She murmured. She noticed a shadow near the wall. She took out a small gun from her pocket and pointed to the figure. "State your name and division, soldier."
A figure of blonde hair and blue eyes stood out, standing straight. "Roxas Elric, ma'am. I'm the Knight of Princess Amberyl vi Britannia!" he saluted.
Amberyl glared at Lelouch who, in return, shrugged. She smirked, an idea forming in her mind. She leaned close to Roxas and whispered. "I want you to spy on Yuuri and my brother, Wolfram."
"Dare I ask why?"
"Wolfram seems to be taking a liking to Yuuri. I want to know if he acts differently when he is alone. "
"But, Your Highness, I was instructed to guard you."
"Listen to my plan and then, you won't get caught."
"Alright then, what is it?"
"It goes like this…"
