"Isn't it obvious?" Renée said rudely.

"You have an overprotective father, a former assassin for a mother, you even won king Fantasia's favor, if they suddenly found out that you weren't in your room, after that little accident, then found you here what do you think would happen to us?" Reinel explained.

"And it's not like your father would lift that enchant to keep people out of your room just for us," said Renée rolling his eyes.

"What enchant? Why wasn't I affected? Or Alethea?" I asked confused.

"It obviously doesn't affect you but we managed to replace your maid so that Althea could sneak in," Reinel explained.

"Why not ask for an official audience?" I ask.

"We've tried, but no matter what string we pull, we can't seem to get one." Said Reinel swirling his tea.

"I see, so let's cut to the chase shall we?" I said quickly. Everything they've said was true, dad really won't let me have an audience until my debut... Or even after that, I'm guessing.

"Let's," Reinel said happily.

"What do you look like?" Renée asked.

"Hmm... I have two eyes, one nose, and one mouth,"

They were silent for a while.

"Next question, why don't you want the engagement? It would be very beneficial for you and your kingdom," said Reinel quickly.

'It wouldn't benefit me at all. On the contrary, it'll kill me,'

"I-... I plan on becoming the next heir." I said confidently.

Renée choked on his cookies, and Reinel stopped sipping his tea abruptly.

"I see... Then, your brother? Why was he adopted?" Reinel asked, putting down his tea.

"... That... He was being abused by his family so we took him in."

"..." They were both silent again for a while.

'I guess they assumed we took in Dean so that he could be the heir. But everyone knows that only nine-tails are allowed to rule Sterling.'

"You should leave!" Renée said in a panicked voice.

"Tch, you're right we've exceeded the time limit," Reinel said checking a pocket watch.

"Honestly you've managed to catch our attention. For someone to make us forget about something so intricately planned--" Reinel suddenly stopped talking, and put a pill in my hand.

"Take this,"

"It'll teleport you back to your room," Renée explained.

"Don't worry we won't look, just go or we'll get in trouble." They turned around, I lifted my mask and suspiciously took the pill.

"Wow, that really worked," I was actually back in my room.

'I don't think getting the twins' attention was a good idea...'

"Maybe I can make friends with at least them," since I've already peaked their interests.

'Let's give it a shot.'

-Reinel's pov-

"She's definitely more fun than anything we've ever played with," Renée said beside me wiping his face that was full of cookie crumbs.

"Indeed, and she keeps surprising us in ways not even we can anticipate!" I said excitedly.

"We can't let this one get away from us, Rei,"

"I know," I said.

"So who gets to keep her?" I asked.

"How about letting her choose?" I agreed by nodding my head.

"Don't cry if she chooses me instead of you," I said confidently.

"How confident, let's see if she picks the conniving, two-faced, gentleman over the honest, cute, and blushing boy," he said smiling.

"In the end, we'll have to share her anyway," I said, crossing my arms.

"Yeah, you're right but the satisfaction of winning is just another plus," he said while drinking his tea.

"Agreed," I said, smirking.

Just then our father came in to check on us.
