Perseus POV
"C'mon guys, just ask Ezio or maybe Rex, they definitely know more things than me, I'm only a mere innocent 18 year old student at this prestigious academy."
"Last we met, you cuss at Arlon so hard that he cried for his mom." Catherina replied
"I mean, he kind of ask for it."
"Yes, he did, but seriously you need to at least stop mixing in truths with your insults, as idiotic as he is, he got feelings too."
Oh so that's how you readers feel...maybe I should complement you more and maybe uplift your feelings, that's some good character development, maybe add in an apology too.
I'm sorry that you're all ugly as fuck.
Now the compliment...don't say oh no, I'm being genuine with all my heart here.
I never knew anyone as unique as you guys who managed to spend so many years being so worthless, pathetic-
|That's not a compliment, your only compliment was the word 'unique' which you then just added insults on top of it.|
Fine.
"Can everyone like leave now, I need a good night, the queen needs her rest, Diana wants to get back to her curses and potions, and you 2 need to take care of your harem or whatever."
"Your majesty, it seems that you have a bug on your neck under your hair." Arlon commented
Catherina got an annoyed look on her face, and it's not the jealous kind, it's obvious that the pervert was trying to stare at her neck and pretty face, and when she push her hair away to reveal the bug, he would use that opportunity to look at the nape.
But it isn't a bug, it's my bitemark, Valentina forgot about it and push her hair back to try and flick the 'bug' away, but the black dot that was assumed to be a bug is actually the bitemark, and for the 2 ranked who lived longer than me, they realized what it is as they noticed it for the first time on the queen who's been hiding it under her hair.
3rd person POV
<The queen is on Perseus' side all night...don't tell me...> Catherina realized <This is the biggest scandal of my own race that is happening in front of my own eyes.>
<If this mean what I think this means...> Arlon thought and hid his envy well <What kind of luck does this guy have, first he's one of the strongest in the tower, and now he managed to claim my own queen, one of the most beautiful women in existence, damn it, I want his life. With his looks, I will create the world's best harem! Curse you, pretty boy.>
Perseus POV
"Ah perhaps you misunderstood the bitemark on my neck as a bug?" Valentina asked
"My queen, excuse this insolent one for asking this, but perhaps the reason why Perseus is a duke and you having that bitemark..." Catherina gulped "Was he the one...?"
"Yes, but the duke one was a mixture of me trying to annoy him and also giving him a high enough status so that in the case he marries me, it would have gone smooth, but we've broken up, so you have no need to worry." Valentina answered

Arlon was so mad that he stayed behind for a bit when he left where he then grabbed me by the collar and pushed me against the wall. We didn't tell anything about how far the relationship went since they both do not want to anger their ruler and we all bid our farewells.
"Dude, I know you're supposed to be some model, but I'm not into men."
"You claimed the queen and broke up with her? What the hell is wrong with you?!" he shout at my face "I'm super fucking jealous, are you sure you're okay in the head?!"
"It's not that deep."
"I should kill you here for the crime of breaking the queen's heart." He growled "You wanna be buried in the mountains or at a nice proper expensive site?"
"That's illegal, and as duke, I command you to like stand down. And as for the recent incident, I know you're like super fucking serious about it, but you have my word that I know very very little, Ezio and Rex will probably know more about this than me."
"What about Alice?" he asked
"I don't know, but she's super curious, won't be long till she knows more than me, but for now I'll just submit what I know to my teach and let him take care of the rest."
After avoiding many more questions, I am let go as he went back home, surprisingly didn't ask much about why his sister did what she did.

The next day, I followed the rich and somewhat famous Acacia who is also followed by a good crowd. The fame of a child of one prestigious raider does go far and wide, and why would these students follow her?
Our academy doesn't have useless clubs like the newspaper or media club, nor any club that doesn't involve any aspect of the tower in anyway, they should have focused on helping their class pass the preliminaries.
Well hopefully she does good work since she's the one worth double points today.
First event is magic squash, racquetball if some of you don't know, basically they hit a ball against a wall and it bounce back, except for raiders, the room itself is like some sort of trap. The ground will occasionally open up and vines would maybe come out to grab their legs, and the ball have random magic effects like explosion upon impact or blinding light.
Super fun game. Used death squash, but apparently it discouraged people from participating.
"Are you here to test me?" Acacia asked
"Yep, that's what I'm here to do, see if you're really as talented as they say you are and do your dad some justice, if you are, I might consider recruiting you, Alvis did pretty good, if he keeps up, I'll recruit him next year."
"I see, the pressure is all on me then." she nodded as she then cracked her knuckled and flashed her sharp teeth.
