Previously, on The Queen:

"Ms. President found out that I wasn't really sober that day... and wanted to suspend me from school for some time..."

"I think I would almost kill to have that chance..."

"Actually, I'm waiting for someone else. You see, you guys are not the only one I've invited..."

"If you don't want to eat with my friends, that's okay with me. Come on, let's go!"

Never had she felt this way about anyone. (Y/N) definitely had the key to her heart, although she wouldn't admit it herself.

"Who said (Y/N) is the temptress in our story about the 2 unknown lovers?"

"Sayaka, Ririka, I have another task for you..."

'This can't go on like this, Ririka!'

'I can't just fall in love with the person whose heart I have to break, can I?'

"Mary, Ryota, hey!" Lily called as she ran up to the table the 3 friends were at. It had been a week since the friends had a slumber party at (Y/N)'s home. It has also been a week since (Y/N) and Ririka had a "magical" moment. But these are not the only things that happened 7 days ago. For some reason or another, the President of the Hyakkaou Academy, Kirari Momobami, had left her school in the hands of her secretary, Sayaka Igarashi, and the Student Council. 

Nobody knew why, except that the school was now in the hands of a girl who couldn't even live without her beloved President. Fortunately, there was still the Vice President, right? Yumeko sat at the table in the canteen, smiling. She looked contentedly out the window to her left. (Y/N) walked quietly behind Lily until she too reached the table. She gave Yumeko a weird look. "Hey Yumeko!" Lily said. (Y/N) stared for a moment at the girl who didn't really answer and then asked, "Yumeko, why are you so happy?" The girl turned to the source of the question and said, smiling, "Oh, it's just--" 

Even before Yumeko could finish her sentence, Itsuki came running and interrupted her. "Yumeko!" she cried. Once at the table, she clapped her hands on the wood and looked deep into the girl's eyes. "Is it true?" she asked. Itsuki coughed and chugged. She had probably ran a lot to get here so quickly. "What is true?" Mary asked, standing next to Lily and (Y/N). Everyone looked at Itsuki in a bit of surprise. What would be so important that she would arrive so quickly? 

"Is it true... that you want to be the president of the Student Council?" At that moment (Y/N) opened her eyes wider. She swallowed her saliva that was in her mouth, yet it still felt like a lump was trapped in her throat. Soon her expression changed from surprised to skeptical, as if she didn't know whether to see Yumeko as an "enemy". Lily saw her master lift her head slightly. The maid immediately knew what was going on. 

It was a way of (Y/N) to make her feel like she was looking down on someone, intimidate them. It was a bad habit and (Y/N) knew it. "That's what is being whispered," Itsuki continued. "The students, especially the house pets, are full of hope." Ryota, Mary, and even Yumeko didn't know what was going on. "Despite the money you have won, you remain a pet because you want to challenge the President and take her position." Ryota looked confused at the girl sitting in front of him, Yumeko. 'Yumeko only gambles because she feels like it, but at some point everything turned around her... until...'
