Cecil stared on blankly, her arms on the fence twitching. She only swivelled her head to the front, treating the man beside her as an empty space.

I must be delirious from this german-named drink, Widerlich.

No one liked being ignored, especially someone like Kai. Everyone always paid attention to him, due to his cheery disposition.

He reached his hand out, tapping Cecil on her shoulder. "Hey woman, don't treat me like a ghost, I am talking to you. I'm real."

Cecil widened her eyes in disbelief, recoiling back quickly.

"AI500! AI500! AI500! Recall your previous message!!!"

[ Alert! This time, for once, the postponed secret mission has commenced.

Oh that's right, one more thing.

She read the message once.

Twice.

Thrice.

It's real! Kai is here, the very first alter of Xue!

That super cute and super adorable Kai!

Why? Why is he here? He is supposed to meet Hana the very first time! He is suppose to proclaim his love to Hana! He is supposed to ask Hana to be his girlfriend--girlfriend?

Cecil recovered from the biggest shock of her life, clearing her throat, asking in a snobbish tone. "What did you just tell me?"

"Be my girlfriend."

Cecil could have puked up blood right then and there.

Mr. Kai! Mr. First Alter! You only have the one and only beloved Hana, your fated wife!

The great lord protagonist, Xue, will murder me if I became the girlfriend of his alter.

Please don't do this to me!

"No." Cecil rejected coldly as she furrowed her eyebrows. "You aren't even allowed to be here, you are trespassing."

Kai only stepped closer, his toothy grin become wolfish. There was a mischievous glint in his eyes.

"You look even more beautiful this way," Kai complimented, leaning down and Cecil stumbled back in terror. "Especially your eyes, and your body.

Cecil contemplated at his last word, frowning, before her eyes widened in realisation.

She was wearing a nightgown, and the previous owner enjoyed wearing skimpy nightgown!

It was as good as screaming to a man to embrace her!

For the first time in her life, Cecil blushed all the way up to her ears.

Kai has been observing this woman ever since that fateful day in the clearing, and she was almost constantly wearing the cold, haughty demeanor. From the clearing, to the tavern and the walk back to her mansion.

Whenever he was free, he would spare the time to drop by the mansion, hoping to catch a glimpse of her as he pretended to be someone lost in the area.

Even if he caught a small glimpse of her, she was wearing her usual cold, haughty look.

Seeing the blush adorning her fair and beautiful face, and the cold and haughty look completely gone...Kai's grin dropped instantly, darting his tongue out to wet his dry lips.
