Chapter 56 - Hearts can break... (1/2)
”Are you feeling lucky today?”
”Princess Anne, what is the meaning of this meeting?”
The group of people in front of the shameless Princess were stunned. She had appeared in the meeting room like a goddess descending from the sky. They were wondering what was this strange persona trying to do.
”This… is a meeting that will hold the destinies of many people, are you willing to take part?”
”What do you mean?” a boy with glasses and refined attitude was the first to talk and the only one, it seemed.
The others were still blinded by the bright show from when the Princess appeared. Eliot was in charge of the special effects of her performance as a goddess from heavens, but the lighting effect was overdone and ended up blinding everyone.
However, the boy in glasses hadn't arrived on time and missed the opening show, so he was the only one with his head up.
Anne thought that he was such a daring young man for trying to arrive late to the secret meeting with a Goddess. He was not even apologetic, however, Anne let it go when he made his people bring some cakes and pastries to compensate.
”Luca, this is a meeting to change the fate of the students. The details will be explained in secret and not here,” Anne smiled brightly, ”What I need to know is if you are willing to take part?”
”How can I consider joining if you don't tell me… what?”
The others leaders of the club were already lining in the register table of Tia to write their names. They had the effect of the blinding light still hurting their eyes, and they wanted to leave early to the infirmary.
”Hey, we don't know a thing about Princess Anne wants to do, why are you all signing?”
”Come on, Luca, just sign,” Maria, the leader of the flower arranging club said to Luca with her eyes still closed. ”It is not like we are blindingly trusting someone we don't know.”
”You are doing that!” Luca shouted but then he found his own mistake.
Though not many had personal contact with the Princess, there was something they knew about her:
First, she liked Henry. No. She didn't just like her but was obsessed with him. No, she wasn't just obsessed with him, but she dared to claim her ownership of his body, soul, lips, and everything else. So, no one would dare touch Henry even if the number of secret admirers was reaching to almost every heart of the Academy girls.
Third, Gandalf… there isn't a lot to say about that, he is a special being. Even the other clubs know how to show him respect.
Forth, the company she founded with Assistant Vin. They all knew the true owner behind VinDev and the one that had such revolutionary ideas. However, the one doing all the job was Assistant Vin with the help of Wizard Druon, though, there is a strange rumor about that Wizard being a slave trapped in a tower and forced to work day after day to accomplish the many inventions Princess Anne has in mind.
Fifth, the secret organization TFQ. No one knew when it came to life, but now it had adopted the form of a club. However, those three words had been spreading like waves in different countries. Some nobles even had the insignia as a pin in their clothes. Some of those nobles are the parents of almost all the club leaders reunited right there. At least, sixty people including Luca's parents. So why shouldn't they sign the registry with blinded eyes?
Sixth, Fruit tarts… long live fruit tarts.
Luca only sighed again at the Princess as he found it difficult to understand what she was trying to do. To make them go to that meeting without really saying anything nor doing anything but blinding their eyes.
However, there was something missing as he signed the registry. Most likely there was someone missing. A leader from a club had not signed, he wasn't even present in the room.
”Where is Mellie?” He said.
The red-eyed boy had suddenly appeared in the school a few days ago and had become the leader of the Magic Club. They had made him the leader almost right away when he managed to make a cookie appear in his hands. Such a marvelous talent should not be underestimated. Only his skill could summon the awesome and fluffy Gandalf.
”Why didn't he come?” Luca was looking at the bunch of now crying-looking leaders. Though, it was more because they had been trying to wash the effect of that blinding like.
”I don't know, I hadn't seen him,” one of the girls answered, but she was trying to find the exit door the same as the others. However, they kept hitting and crashing with the chairs and the tables, even the closed door.
”This is strange,” said Luca while taking a piece of cake from the side and sitting also to watch the funny show with the Princess that was now trying to contain her laughter. ”He is never late for anything. At least, Morgan, his ȧssistant wouldn't let him skip this event. They even have Shadow with them. What is going on, Princess Anne?”
The shameless little girl was now recording the show in the MINI for later uploading it to her profile, 'this will be a hit.' She thought not hearing the voice of Luca.
”Oh right,” Anne turned to see the boy eating a piece of cake, ”Where did you get those glasses, Luca, I didn't know you need to use them.”
