The door slammed opened to reveal the student council. Raymond standing in the middle of the group. He walked over to my side and gave me a disgusting smile.

”I heard my Queen has taken a servant in. Why didn't you tell me sooner? I could have picked the best choice for you. You deserve only the best.” He kept talking on and on about how I needed to have the best of best. My patience bar was running low. I had it. It was enough. I slammed the table with a force that almost broke it.

”What do you know about me? Stop saying I needed the best without any back up! You have no a single idea what I am going through and you don't deserve to know! Now shut up! I'm quitting.” I took my white cape off and stormed out. My tears threatening to spill as I walked further and further from the class. Casting the spell of teleportation, I teleported myself back to the tree before.

I gently caressed the tree, feeling each of its fibers. I climbed the tree and settled myself into one of its creases. I looked around and I see the old building. Students and teachers running around with muffled sounds shouting that the Queen has quit. Pathetic isn't it? I was forced into this position, nothing else. Anyone could be replacement.

I let out a laugh so hard that my tears of sadness came dripping down. My laugh slowly stopped as it is being replaced by small cries for help. My tears flowing uncontrollably by now, everything was in pain. Now that I have quit being the Queen, my contract with Walton would end and a new Queen would be found. I just hope, at least a shred of sunlight would come.

The soft sound of the trees rustling against the wind and a soft sound woke me up. I managed to sleep through my pain? I looked at the source of the sound and it happened from below. Walton was standing there, waving at me as I woke. He let out a smile, which made my heart and legs weaken. Foolishly of me, I let my tears flow again.

I cried so hard that my shriek could be heard from the bottom of the tree. Through my blurred eyes, I saw Walton's face and a small glimpse of the Alphonse symbol still on the hand. Walton immediately climbed the tree and hugged me. His comforting scent made me relax and slowly but surely, I fell asleep.

I woke up once again, but this time to something or someone playing with my hair. My hand barely lifted itself as it rubbed my eyes, my sight starting to become much clearer. What came to my sight was a mop of black hair and sky blue eyes staring at me.

”Good morning Milady. How was your nap?” It took my brain a while before it processed the information. Once it was done, I let out a uncharacteristic scream and moved to the other side.

”A-as your master, you're not to tell anyone about this. Get it?” He nodded before letting out a small laugh.

”But Milady was cute when you were sleeping. Your snores were cute and I even made a flower crown for you.” He points to the small flower crown on my head.
