[17] The new teacher

The look on Damian's face told her that she had probably hit the mark completely. "Please forgive me, it was not meant to be mean in any way and I didn't mean to jump to conclusions." He seemed genuinely embarrassed. Something Y/N could only laugh softly at. "Oh, don't apologize. I'm already used to it, and by now I don't resent the whole thing. So you're forgiven." After the latest sentence, she smoothly had to grin a little mischievously.

"So, here we are. This should be your room. Mine is just a few hallways down, so if you need help with anything again, don't hesitate and feel free to let me know" she let the dark haired one know. The former thanked the young woman one more time for helping him along. "Then I'll see you later at dinner, esteemed Y/N."

And they did, because as soon as Y/N entered the already filled dining room, she already saw the friendly face of Damian sitting at the large dining table. She couldn't explain it, but she had the feeling as if this could yet become an excellent friendship between them.

"Good evening, pretty lady," he said, which made Y/N smile before she sat down with him. "Please, let's not stand on ceremony, I must confess I'm not too fond of such compliments." Especially not when they didn't come from her girlfriend Lesso.

Said girlfriend sat just a few seats away and looked over at the two of them. Ever since Y/N had graced the dining room with her presence, Lesso had tried to get her attention and looked over at her, but her looks were returned with nothing. Y/N had been fully fixated on this handsome preppy and on having a conversation with him.

Lesso couldn't explain it, but there was a feeling in her stomach that she hadn't experienced before. It was a negative feeling, that much was certain, and far from the beautiful exhilaration she had felt in recent days and weeks. The redhead felt like it was eating her up from the inside and not letting go.

But Y/N didn't notice any of this, she listened spellbound to the conversation with Damian, who told her about one of his great adventures, which he had already passed as a prince. He told her about a breathtaking landscape that he had never seen before, about a mighty waterfall, the lushest meadows and a splendor of various flowers. "It had been truly magical" was his comment and by the way his eyes began to shine Y/N knew his words were true.

"Wow, that's really quite impressive" she admitted, almost a little speechless as he told her he had already taken down one or two dark creatures. It suddenly seemed as if they were the only ones in the room and not still surrounded by the countless voices of the many students. "I have also fought monsters and forces of evil many times, but those stories are nowhere near as noteworthy as your deeds."

"But not so. From what I've heard, you are a woman who has already accomplished so much in her life. Many can only dream of doing what you have done. And I must confess, everything the stories tell about you are true, you are truly a formidable princess who deserves my utmost respect."

Icy blue eyes practically bored into the skin of the young man who had just complimented Y/N. Lesso's grip on her cutlery tightened and she really had to hold on to herself not to give in to her anger right away. "Get the hell away from her right now, she's my girl" Lesso muttered softly to herself.

Dovey, who was sitting right next to Lesso gave the other dean a quick look. "Good grief Lesso, what's the matter with you? You look in an even worse mood than usual today." A fatal mistake on Dovey's part, as she merely got an angry and warning look from Lesso, signaling that she should probably keep quiet. "It's nothing, just shut up" the redhead hissed softly. Not very convincing, Dovey thought, and so she wanted to get to the bottom of it more. "Come on, you can't tell me it's nothing. You-"

The dean didn't get a chance to finish her sentence before Lesso stood up and jammed her pointed knife into the wooden table. "I told you to shut up!" The redhead had become so loud that her words still reverberated a little in the large hall. Everything had fallen silent all at once and all eyes were on Lady Lesso.
Even Y/N looked over at her girlfriend a little speechless and couldn't explain this bad mood, after all everything had been fine this morning.
