She was just fooling around to make the training be a bit more, how do I say this? Interesting - Who knew that spell was to cast fire? No one ever taught her any offensive spells like that one before; and the worse thing about it? Was that she accidentally burnt one of the Council Senator's hair!

Kneeling down at the tiled floor, hands placed on her lap and head bowing as the senator begins to scold her. Not to mention with his 30° burn on this scalp.

"What in blazes are you doing Chocolat?!" No pun intended. "You are way behind schedule, yet you intend to goof off?!"

About to raise her head and apologize, another wave of scowling was what waits for her. The senator continued to scowl at the young witch. His face was raging with anger that any minute puff of smoke would be coming out of either his nose or ears. Like a London train or a Mexican bull.

"We have done nothing but give you the best and this is how you repay us? The nerve! I can't believe that the rightful heir for the throne: Vanilla-Hime, would even give the crown to you. What's even more unbelievable is that you are the daughter of Cinnamon! Also a Candidate for Queen during her time."

He scoffed and added: "Your mother was never like this. So, so… Irresponsible."

The moment she heard that, she ran out of the room. Leaving the Senator, her Instructor and others of the Les Palais. Hearing from a distance, "Worthless Brat…"

It all started during her freshmen year.

Chocolat gasped for air the minute her head hit above the water, catching a few breaths, a cough here and there. Taking in a big mass of air and slowly exhaled as her breathing came back to normal. Arms on her knees as she sat still in the bathroom tub. Watching the ripples of water lessen as she stays motionless for a few minutes.

Ten minutes have passed. Suddenly remembering that incident had reminded her one of the reasons she began doubting on herself. Doubting?

Chocolat Meilleure, the orange-headed bitch of fury who took the Grand Duke of Darkness Glace actually doubts once again? Last time she ever felt this powerless was – Never mind about that.

Moving on.

Lukewarm liquids mixed with bubble soap covering her now oh so beautiful slender body. Chocolat had changed throughout the years I give you that. Her skin is so soft it makes you think of milk; white and creamy. Hands had become more feminine, a minor miracle that she hadn't left any scars on herself during her fist fights as a kid.

Long eyelashes beginning to hide those priceless eyes of hers, but the most attractive thing about her nowadays, are none other than her lips. Pink, perky lushes, where every one of the academy's men would dare to give anything just to find the chance to kiss them.

But of course, I'm here to remind you all that those lips have been touched – TWICE! Who knows…? Maybe even more.

I guess the reason I thought of that… Was because of those cinnamon rolls I ate earlier.

She pulled the plug and let the water ran down the drain, slowly getting up to refrain from slipping and carefully wrapping herself with a towel; same goes to her dripping hair. Standing in front of the mirror hanging above the sink, she looks at her complexion and took hold of a white fluff and started applying a light layer of powder, first on her cheeks then to her neck, and lastly her collarbone. Her cheekbones showing a tinge of pink due to the baths warmth. Mama… Is it true? Am I really just… Worthless? A sudden knock on the door startled her and quickly asked who it was.

"It's Woo. I was just wondering if you're done already. You've been there for 2 hours straight." Oh kami, has it been that long?

"G-Gomen Nasai! Were you going to use the bath too?"

"Ehehe was supposing to." He said bluntly.

She hurriedly wore her bathrobe, replacing the towel around her at the same time walking to get the door. When – "EEEEKK!"

"Chocolat! Daijobu desuka?"

"U…Uhn! Daijobu…" She lied.

Apparently she stepped on to spilled bubble bath soap and got herself slipping on the flood. Badly enough her buttocks for the one she landed on. I-Itai..! Wincing as she rubs her butt due to the pain sending through her.

She opened the door to see Woo, her eyes leveled on his chin. Even she couldn't believe how much she had grown. Last time her height with him, she was facing his chest. That much has changed. Her eyes shot upwards to meet his; brows still in a furrow.

"Are you sure you're okay?" he raised an eyebrow. "Y-yeah, hehehe."

"No… What I mean was –"He stopped as he continue to look at her, thinking for a sec.

"What is it Woo?" He hesitated for a bit but gave her a reassuring smile. Woo patted Chocolat's head as he went and went inside the bathroom. "Nandemonai." Stopping at the door, he turned and reminded her; "Make sure you wear something warm when you sleep. It's awfully chilly tonight." He left and bid good night.

Going back to her bedroom, Chocolat removed her robe and wore her PJ's adding a sweater as to taking Woo's advice. She crawled into bed and plumped on to her pillow. I guess… I'm just troublesome… Heh. Well, it beats the Worthless part. She closed her eyes and drifted off to sleep.
