Act like a Fool, Shines like a Star!

Chapter 18: Setting Things Up.

"Everyone. Please sit down. Before we're going to start our lessons, There's going to be 2 Transfer student today."

Hailey said.

"Yes Ma'am!"

Outside the School, Everyone called Hailey 'Her Majesty' but in the Academy, She is the Teacher. Everyone is excited to see them because Hailey can't stop smiling.

"Anyway! Come in you both~"

Lavi and Riri come inside. Everyone immediately notices something from Lavi. He had the same hair color as Hailey.

Riri introduce herself.

"My name is Riri Euriana. The Princess from Euriana Kingdom. I've moved here in order to stay with my Fiancee."

Riri said. Lavi take a step forward and then.

"My name is Lavi Shireno Amidis. I'm the 1st Prince of Shireno Kingdom."

Everyone was shocked. They never think that Shireno Kingdom have a Prince. Hailey smiled.

"Yes. Lavi is the First Prince. He's been missing for 12+ Years. But now, We finally managed to meet him again."

Everyone let out a loud gasp. Lavi said.

"I know. I never think that I would be here again after a long time."

Lavi said. Everyone giggled. They're loving Lavi attitude so far. Hailey look at the seats at the very back.

"Alright, Lavi, Riri. You can sit there."

"Thank you."

Lavi and Riri immediately sat down in the very back. Lavi and Riri is listening to Hailey giving the explanation.

After a few hours, They finished with the class and they went to the Gym to train. Lavi and Riri change to their Gym clothes and they went with their sword. Like before, A bunch of non Swordsman. But also, There's quite a lot of swordsman as well.

Which make Lavi really happy.

'Swordsman is not a minority in here. So I'm really stoked.'

Lavi thought. As usual, They're just practicing their swings. But Lavi is already advanced way out of that. He added extra swings to his initial swings.

It's so impressive. And knowing that Lavi is the Prince, They were wanting to actually fight him to know how strong he actually is.

And they get the chance. With Rambo.

"Okay. Everyone, You're going to Fight Lavi okay? Don't worry, He's given you guys permission to hit him and hurt him. So don't worry about law or anything."

Hailey explained. Everyone smiled and they take their stances. Lavi take his sword out and let out his True Bloodlust.

Everyone felt like they were dead. But one person. That's Riri Euriana. Lavi Fiancee who always felt that when Fighting Lavi.

Riri leaped to Lavi. Lavi was shocked that Riri is actually holding Lavi Bloodlust. They're using a wooden version of their weapon.

Lavi draw his wooden sword and what they're seeing is a show by itself. Riri swing her sword with the intention of Knocking Lavi out.

Lavi hold her sword without any problem at all. Riri is grinding her sword against Lavi. Lavi is keeping up with her grind without trouble.

And Lavi didn't use his Left hand. He only use his Right hand. While Riri is using both.

"Okay Riri. You've become strong before I know it."

"Thank you Lavi. But you haven't seen anything yet!"

Suddenly, Lavi get strike on the back and the side. But Lavi didn't flinch at all. Lavi look at Riri seriously.

"Is that all you got? Is that the Blinkstrikes that you've trained?"

Riri grit her teeth and she went all out. Every time Riri swing his sword, The slashes bounces to Lavi. Lavi block it without trouble.

'To be honest, She's f*****g strong. But I want to see more of her. So let's piss her more."

"Is this it? Come on Riri. Entertained me!"

Riri smiled and suddenly, Lavi get a heavy blow to his rib. Lavi was blown away to the side. Lavi gain his balance and immediately use his Air Walk to stop moving.

"What? That's Not a Blinkstrikes. Is it just a pure Swordsmanship?!"

"Exactly Lavi. I'm not focusing on my Blinkstrikes. I was doing my own Sword."

"Interesting... Your own huh. You got me reeling up!"

Lavi said. He immediately charged at Riri and swing his sword down. Riri put his sword up and try to block Lavi s***h. Lavi swing it down. But actually, He change the direction and hit Riri stomach.

Everyone feel the same pain. Lavi didn't hold back against his own Fiancee. Riri fall down and look at Lavi.

Lavi look at her and offer his hand. Riri take it and pull Lavi down. She immediately jumped up from that position.

'Ground Shrinker huh. So she mastered that too. Well, Let me try that too.'

When Riri try to stab Lavi. Lavi use his own Skill.

'Ground Shrinker. Shackles.'

Lavi suddenly teleported behind Riri and Riri get chained down.

"Well, How is that Riri?"

"Buu... That's so unfair..."

"Sorry Girl. But here's your reward."

Lavi suddenly kiss Riri and everyone blushed. Hailey screamed.

"Oy!!! Don't flirt in class!!!"

"Sorry Mom. But it's my thing. When my Fiancees done something good, I always give them Reward. And that's just an example of that."

Hailey sighed.

"Oh well... You guys are engaged so, That's fine."

"Thank you Mom~" 

Lavi and Riri get away with that. Everyone is still feeling Lavi True Bloodlust. Lavi realizes that and he put it away. Everyone now get to move again.

"I forgot about that. Sorry Everyone~" 

Now that they know Lavi ability, They're a bit hesitant to fight Lavi. But also, Lavi is the Prince. And attacking Royal Family without their consent is a crime.

After Academy ended. Riri and Lavi take a stroll around the Shireno. But, Since Lavi hair is a Royalty Colored. Lavi is forced to wear a hat. Lavi and Riri hold hands together and it's snowing. It just improve the romantic mood between Lavi and Riri.

"Hey Lavi. Do you love living in here?"

Riri asked. Lavi nodded.

"I love it. I really love Snow and Cold area. And also, I love it here because, It's my Country. The Country I was born in..."

"I see... That's nice. I actually prefer living in here too..."

Riri said. Lavi chuckled. Hearing Riri, The Princess from Another Kingdom saying that she loves living in another Kingdom is really tickling his brain.

Lavi and Riri went around the area and they bought a bunch of warm food. Because of the new breed of wheat, There's a lot of Pie Places that sell great pies. From sweet pies to savory. And Lavi choice is always fish pies.

Riri take a bite of Lavi pie and she enjoy the fish a lot. Lavi take a bite of Riri apple pie. He likes it but he still prefer the Fish Pie.

It's always dark in Shireno. But, There's a lot of Lantern scattered around the Road. So it just give a festive feeling. Riri enjoy it quite a lot.

It's still 3 PM and it look like night. The only light that they get is from 7 AM to 9 AM. Only 2 hours of sunlight and 22 hours of dark.

And yet, There's no Crime in Shireno. The people living a happy life. Everyone had jobs and it pays well too.

Taxes is low in Shireno because, Shireno Royal Family is already rich from the start.

Anyway, Lavi and Riri sat down inside a cafe and they order warm Cappucino. Lavi and Riri is having their nice date.

"Lavi, I actually wondered. How did your parents find you in Euriana?"

Lavi stopped and think.

"I don't know... Riri, Why do you have to asked that? Now I want to find it out... I don't want to cut our date early... I want to go with you still."

Riri grit her teeth. She want to spend time with Lavi too. But then.

"It doesn't matter Lavi. Let's find it out. We can still resume our date right? It's still 3 PM."

"Okay..."

Lavi chug his Cappucino and Riri do the same. They went out and they went to the Castle again. Lavi meet with Nick. Riri take her coat off. Lavi take his off and put it inside his Storage.

"Dad. I want to ask you. And I want you to be honest. How did you find me?"

Nick look at him and laughed.

"You see, Charles and I have been friend for 25 Years! We've formed an alliance a long time ago. And then, He told me that Riri have a Fiancee called Lavi Amidis. And at that time we immediately know that it's you."

Nick said. Lavi turn to Riri. Riri look away awkwardly.

"Riri... You know it didn't you? I bet you even helped your Father set it up."

"Um... Yes..."

Lavi veins popped up.

"So then why do you asked me to ask Dad about it? As I expected. Did you hate going to a date with me? If so, It's fine, I can asked Gwen and Bianca to go with me."

Riri panicked and hug Lavi. Nick silently let Riri take care of their problem and he move to Take care of Lavi house.

"N-No!!! Lavi! I'm just joking okay?! Please don't leave mee!!!!"

Lavi laughed.

"Of course not. I can't leave you alone. Sorry for making you panic."

Lavi said. Riri  pouted. Lavi chuckled and kiss her again. And then she calm down. And while they were at it, Lavi called Erina.

"Erina. This is Lavi. Are you Free for a bit?"

Erina voice can be heard.

"Yeah. What's happening? Where's the Sister?"

"Sorry. I decided to drop the Sister off for everyone. I'm really sorry... Anyway! Are Hollis and Shireno have a great relation?"

Lavi asked. Erina said.

"Not really. We never contacted each other. But it will be nice if We're allied though. Why?"

"You see, I'm actually the Prince of Shireno. Lavi Shireno Amidis. That's my real name."

Erina immediately cut the call off. Riri look at him.

"What happened?"

Lavi face is in absolute disappointment.

"She just cut the call from me... Aw... That's sad..."

Lavi said. Riri laughed and she hug Lavi. And where is Erina? Erina decided to immediately set a day off to have a meeting with the Shireno Kingdom in Shireno.

And after that, She call Lavi again.

"Lavi. This is Erina. Sorry to cut you there, I have just set a day off to meet you there. Tomorrow, Can you pick me up in the Guild?"

"Yes! I will pick you up. Are you going to go with Pixel?"

"Yes. I'm going with Pixel."

Lavi went quiet for a bit. Erina call him and then Lavi replied.

"Why not asked Gwen about it?"

"Ah! You're right! Tell your Father that Erina, The queen of Hollis is visiting tomorrow!"

"Got you!"

And that where the call ended. Gwen and Bianca is looking at the Construction of their new house. It's going really well because of Bianca ability.

Riri is going there as well. And Lavi is alone. Since Nick is looking at the construction, Lavi go to Hailey.

"Mom! I want to talk!"

"Lavi? Wait a moment. You can wait at the Living room!"

"Okay!"

Lavi immediately go to the Living room. He sat down again and he waited for Hailey. Hailey come to the room and sat in front of Lavi.

"So, What's happening?"

"Mom! Tomorrow, Erina Hollis is going to visit Shireno to talk. And as I said before, She's my Ally. And I want you guys to make an alliance with her."

"Sure. That's not a problem. Let me tell Nick about this later."

"Thank you mom! I know I could count on you! Also, Where's Sister?"

Hailey shrug her shoulder. She didn't know where Elli is. So Lavi just talk with Hailey about stuff.

And after that's done, It's 7 PM. Lavi go back to his room and notices that everyone is still helping the construction. Lavi open the window and jumped out.

"Shackles!"

Lavi use his Shackles to pull the window back.

"Air Walk!"

Lavi charged to the Construction site. And he arrived in just a few seconds.

Everyone is already done putting the frame and they're just working on the room now. But they're quite troubled because of the snow.

Lavi arrived and said.

"Let me help you guys with the roof."

Everyone look at him. Lavi use his Shackles and put everything to the place. And the worker just make sure it's in place and that's done.

After working for a couple more hours. Everything is done. Now they just need to install electricity and water. And that's going to be done tomorrow.

So everyone go to bed and sleep. As usual, Lavi and Riri prepare their school stuff and go to the Academy. Everyone is looking at them. They're the new hot stuff. A Foreign Princess and a Mystery Prince. Just the concept of it is a romance concept.

If people decided to get Lavi story as a book, It will become the best seller pretty quick.

Anyway, After school ended, Lavi and Riri went back to the Castle and they went to the Conference room. In that room, There's only Lavi, Riri, Erina and Nick.

"Okay. Her Holiness. Thank you for coming. As you do know, This is my Son, Lavi Shireno Amidis. And I heard that he want us both to form an alliance."

Nick said. Erina smiled and nodded.

"That is indeed correct. It's such an honor to form an alliance with you His Highness. And before we sign the form. I want you to know that Lavi is such a great Leader. So you don't need to worry about your future. Shireno Kingdom is fine in Lavi hand."

Erina said. She become a good supporter for Lavi road to the throne.

"I see... That's great then. I was hesitant to step down as the King because I can't find any successor or make one after Lavi was kidnapped. But now, I don't need to worry anymore."

Erina get the gist of Lavi past from Gwen explanation. It's shocking for her to hear that. But then, It's really like Lavi. That story is fitting as Lavi story.

"Anyway. With Her Holiness from Hollis Kingdom. The Alliance will become a 3 Kingdom Alliance. Shireno, Euriana and Hollis. Is that okay?"

"Yes. That's fine. The more country is in the Alliance. The safer our Country will be right? So there's nothing bad in me signing it."

Erina look at Riri who act like the messenger from Euriana. Riri nodded.

Lavi give her the Form. Without any hesitation. Erina sign it. Lavi take it and give it to Nick.

"Thank you so much Her Holiness. Let's hope this Relationship will only be better when Lavi take over."

"I would hope so too."

Erina shake Nick hand and Riri. Erina look at Riri and she find some idea. Erina hug Lavi and kiss him on the cheeks.

"Well then, See you later. Future King~" 

"See you Later.."

Lavi said. He waved his hand to Erina and Erina run to Gwen to teleport back to Hollis. Nick quietly back away and Riri jumped to Lavi.

"Ah!!!"

Lavi panicked and She immediately attack Lavi.

"Why did she kiss you?!"

"I don't know!! She never do that before!"

"Grrr... You're not cheating behind our back right?"

"N-NO!!! Trust me!! Riri!!! No!!!"

Riri finger is digging deeper to Lavi skin. Lavi just accept her wrath and then everything is over.

There's 2 Things that happened for Shireno. An Alliance with Euriana and Hollis. And the Announcement of Prince Lavi Shireno Amidis.

Which surprised everyone. But everything went smoothly after they saw what Lavi is capable off.

The announcement is made as soon as the Alliance announcement was said. And in that, Lavi just shut everyone up with his Confidence and Aura.

Everyone kneeled before Lavi. Though, There's some people bearing their fang to Lavi. And Lavi is going to take care of it now.

But before he assault them. He check on the new house. It's done. Lavi put all the furniture back and now, The Fireplace is actually countering the cold.

Before, The Fireplace is just making the room hotter. Now, It's actually useful. People in the Castle called it Prince Lavi Corner.

And now. Lavi get to working. He asked Nick who they are by the looks of their face and Lavi find the documents he needed. There's 4 Man in total who actually bearing their fang to Lavi.

"Oh well. Time to take out the trash."

Lavi take his sword out and wear his mask. He use his stealth and go to the first house. The Guards is an i***t and decided to sleep on the job.

Lavi sneak to their Bedroom. He grab all the necessary documents that they make. And for Lavi surprise. They're actually doing their job beautifully. No Corruption or whatever.

'They're useful. Instead of throwing them away, I think it's better if I make them into my Ally.'

Lavi said. He Brainwashed them and Lavi already felt tired.

He sneak into another person house and once again, Check it out. In the end, Lavi Brainwashed everyone and he found no sign of corruption.

So he was pretty happy that they're not doing anything stupid.  They're just genuinely didn't like Lavi. And probably, They want to Assassinate Lavi.

But now, That plan is wasted. No Assassin was send to Lavi. Lavi sat down at his Living room. Everyone is sleeping at this point.

He brew some tea and stare the Fireplace.

'Damn. In just a couple of weeks. My status have rises. From a Nobody, Leader of 10 Harbingers, Prince. That's so surprising... I can't wait what the future hold for me.'

Lavi take a sip and then, He felt a presence outside. It's hostile.

'Oh! So they did send an Assassin. They work quick huh.'

And since they managed to find Lavi place. That mean that they must've been working in the Castle. Lavi Shackles them and take their mask off.

"Hello. It's a good night isn't it? I remember seeing you guys in the Castle. You guys are the Assassin that the Nobles sent right? Don't worry. I'm not going to kill you.  But you do have to feel some pain."

Since they're all the Maid from the Castle. Lavi brainwashed them like this is never happening. And he make them fall for Lavi too. Now they can't go against Lavi.

'That's how you brainwash people. Plant a fake memory that make them weak for you. Sorry to say but, You guys are not going to attack me anymore.'

Lavi use his stealth and put them back on the castle.

They wake up after the effect ended. And they were confused. But they feel like they can't go against Lavi. So they decided to sleep.

Lavi went back and finish his tea.

"Ah... What a good night."

Lavi put it back tot the rack and he went to his Room. He saw that everyone is just talking about stuff and Lavi asked them.

"You guys can't sleep?"

"We want to sleep with you."

"Alright."

Lavi chuckled and he climb the bed. They immediately snuggle inside their blanket and go to sleep.
