James appeared from behind the Crown Prince of Lith. The dark glow wrapping his body sent shivers to Ilian's back. Even some thunders could be heard on the outside and the drops of rain hitting the windows were not enough to muffle the screams of the students.

They had never seen the serious boy becoming a demon like that. He was always calm and peaceful. The few weeks they hadn't seen him had left many female students in distress as he was oone of the top five most admired boys in the Academy.​​

They even had prepared a welcome party for him in the dormitory. They were all happy for his return from the exchange period he had on the Kingdom of Forth.

His father, Duke Prim, made him go there to study for some weeks with the permission of the Academy. James didn't like it at all but he complied. He had no choice. It was a necessary thing to form good connections with the other Kingdoms if he wished to help his father on the job.

The Kingdom of Forth was a friendly Kingdom and allied of Lith. However, it was more engaged in a big variety of entertaining activities to engage. They had competitions every single month for any kind of purpose: cooking, swimming, fighting, sword fighting, running, academics, making jokes, hunting… and so on Even more, they had an immense library and an Academy on their own.

However, there was no Anne there.

The moment he returned to the Academy, his first thoughts were to go to visit her and see if she was doing fine. Of course, she will be doing fine, now she was the little Queen of the school and no one would dare oppose her. Well, maybe the idiots lurking in the shadows. How do they call themselves again? Oh right, the Lexors. James made a small inner note of investigating those idiots led by a golden fish.

"This is a new device for the students," one of the teachers that went to welcome him told him and gave him a circular metallic device. It has a strange figure, like an apple. "It was donated by director Vin and his company."

James was marveled by the new invention of Assistant Vin. However, he was even more amazed when he knew that the idea was suggested by Anne, his beautiful Anne.

The new device was called 'MINI' and the whole school population owned one. However, it can only be used inside the school for now. It gave him the thought that they were testing the products first in the school. What a brilliant idea!

UserOfLight: Did you see the school pictures on Anne's wall?

FollowerOfGandalf: Yes, they were so beautiful.

MoiraFan: I want to see them kissing again *blushes*

The messages on the main forum on the school were plagued with words of admiration. James was not that curious but when the number of notifications reached the thousands and the many times the light on the MINI device showed up was giving him a headache, he decided to pay a bit of attention. Then he saw a picture.

A short-haired girl with bright grey eyes was looking at the boy kneeling before her with a glint on her eyes. James had to contain his strength from crushing the MINI.

However, just when he was on his way to the cafeteria, something else entered his sight. The back of a young man that he knew very well with the intention of taking advantage of his dear sister. The innocent Rose.

"Don't even think about it, Your Highness."

On the garden a few meters from the castle of the Academy, there is a beautiful tree with red flowers blooming on it when then spring touched the land. The many students that went to that tree and confessed their affection for their loved ones could amount to thousands. It was said that the ones that engraved their names on a branch with their beloved, then they have their wishes conceded. A happy and beautiful life together.

However, the sight on the flower garden under the flower tree was nothing else but a sad one. The poor James had escaped detention from trying to punch Ilian and then from trying to kill Henry. Double detention in a matter of a few hours.

Though, the punishment was not even near to the pain in his heart. The number of petals on the ground from his little game of 'She likes me and She doesn't like me,' was heartbreaking.

He was now eating fruit tarts in a desperate attempt to forgetting himself in the sweetness of the dish. Though with every bite he remembered her cute smiles, her awesome eyes that were glinting with mischievousness, her soft red hair that he wanted to touch and kiss. Even her strange laugh and the craziness of her expression were cute in his eyes.

"Should we approach him?"

"Nah," the teacher said.

"But he should be in detention, right?"

"Look at him," the teacher said, "he is a more cruel punishment now. Detention will never be compared to that."

"But…"

"Sigh… don't worry, even if he goes to detention, there would be more trouble."

"Why?"

"The other three are in detention too, if we put them together, there would not be anyone capable of stopping them."

The other three in question were, of course, Ilian for defending against James and almost destroying one side of the school. Then, when the mood lowered, he remembered his enemy number one and went to attack him with the help of James.

Then the other detained was Henry for trashing both of the fourth-year students while at the same time destroying one side of the cafeteria. It was not his fault though.

And the other one and the most shameless one was Anne for taking advantage of the distraction to take out the fruit tarts from the dessert bar. Though without the help of Moira and Mellie she wouldn't have the opportunity to carry them all.

"But I am not talking about that…"

The teacher raised a brow to Chef Hugo, "What is it?"

"Sigh…"

Chef Hugo was also upset about the destruction of his workplace, but he was even more upset about the stolen dishes. Though, some of them were returned quickly. It seemed that Prince Martin was keeping an eye on the cafeteria, and he informed the teachers of the atrocity that was going on with the fruit tarts.

"He stole the fruit tarts…" Chef Hugo was on the watch for anyone daring to enter the cafeteria and steal the dishes. However, he never thought that the one doing it this time would be the serious and hardworking son of Prime Minister Prim.

"What?!"

The teacher was fuming now. "This is outrageous. Let me go and punish that young lad. Chef Hugo, please return to your post, I will seek justice for you and will let you know."

"…"

Chef Hugo didn't think that the teacher would be so… so shameless. He had seen the glint of his eyes and the drooling coming from his mouth when he said the word fruit tart. Most likely he will go and take those desserts from the young depressed boy.

"Sigh… I will do more croissants or chocolate cakes, or pies, no more fruit tarts for a while…"

*****

[To the King Julian of Lith,

To the Queen Elisa of Lith,

To the Duke Mills of Lith.

This is definitely a complaint letter.

I hope this letter finds you in good health, good wealth and good mood because what I will tell you next will leave you with a slight headache, or heartache, a bit less rich and with not a good mood. And for that… well, excuuse me.

However, these are pressing matters.

First. The young prince Ilian and Anne had been detained along with Henry Mills and James Prim.

Why? Well, a love quarrel would be the first statement between James and Henry. The second would be an overly protective brother Ilian versus Henry. The third one and overly protective brother of James versus Ilian.

If you plan of making Miss Rose Prim, the new Crown Princess, please inform her as my sources told me that she is being courted by another handsome Prince.

On the other hand, the school received several damages to many buildings. I wouldn't dare to ask you for compensation but… oh no, I do dare. See the attached invoice.

One last thing and this is where my complaint start, is regarding James again. Please, hold your seats, but Chef Hugo is denying doing fruit tarts again.
