Continued from part 3-

The next day, you woke up thinking about the encounter you had the day before. Even though

Kiku had told you not to worry about it, you still got worried anyway. Getting dressed

into your school uniform, you closed your eyes from sleepiness while buttoning up the last

button on your shirt.

“お嬢様!! 危ない! (My lady! Look out!!)” As soon as Kiku shouted, dashing into your room, you

opened your eyes, dodged as two hit men jumped through your bedroom window, smashing the

glass. You picked up your favorite combat knife from the top of your dresser, and did a

roundhouse kick to the groin of one of the hit men and stab the other with the knife,

making the both of them drop to the ground in pain.

“Kiku, help me ‘clean up’ please!” you shouted. “分かりました! (Right away!)” Kiku dragged the

two hitmen away, and silencing them. “お嬢-“Before Kiku finished the sentence, your elder

brother slammed open the door, running in to hug you. “Thank God, you’re safe!” he

squeezed you even harder. “Of course, brother. I know all the martial arts and close

combat and also am skilled at weaponry. Why be worried in the first place?” Ignoring what

you said, your brother rambled on how happy he was that you were safe. “Well, it’s good to

know that you’re safe and sound. Be careful going to school!” Closing the door, your

brother finally left you in peace. You sighed again, putting on your boots, ready to go to

school.

“Good morning class! Today we will have a quiz on subject-verb agreement…” As your English

teacher, Mr. Kirkland, continued to talk, the other students groaned from the banal,

repetitive speech. You noticed Ludwig, who had just introduced himself, sitting next to

you. He glared intimidatingly at the blackboard for revision notes. You chuckled,

realizing that he glared at the board because of his need for glasses. You tapped him on

the shoulder. “Psst! Ludwig! Do you need a pair of glasses?” you inquired. Ludwig turned

around, and upon seeing you, he tried to smile. “Yes, I seemed to have forgotten mine.”

You handed him a pair, and he became surprised. “This looks like meine! Vhere did you get

it?” You merely winked and turned back to your own work, but the bell rang before both of

you knew it. “Class dismissed! Do not forget to do your homework!” Mr. Kirkland yelled, as

sleepy students exited the classroom joyfully, happy that the torture had ended.

“(name)?(name)! Vhere are you?!” Ludwig called for you, finally spotting you eating your

lunch under a tree on a bench. You flashed him your ladylike-angelic smile, the one that

you always wore at school. “(name), zhanks for zhe glasses in class. Vhere did you get

them from?” You glanced at him innocently. “Of course, when you were doing orientation, I

got it from your locker, where you forgot it.” He facepalmed, thinking: ‘How am I supposed

to pretend to fall in love with zhis fraulein?’ His thoughts were interrupted when you

started to say something. “I didn’t hear zhat. Can you please repeat it?” you looked down,

quietly saying, “Ludwig, I’m sorry about yesterday. But my father promised said that he

allows me to marry someone I like.” Ludwig tilted his head, confused. “But aren’t all your

family members married off for power?” You merely smiled again. “I won at a bet against

father, and he allowed me to marry with someone I like.” Ludwig gasped, shocked at her

statement. (name)’s father is notorious for winning absurd bets, but to bested by his own

daughter? “Oh well. So that’s the deal. If you make me fall in love with you, then I will

marry you and also help your family out. Deal?” You grinned, and Ludwig just shook your

hand.

“Oi! Vest! Bewegen! (Move!)” A voice in the distance called, and a gunshot rang out.

Noticing snipers in the trees, you and Ludwig sprinted, taking out throwing knives and

pistols, shooting down five snipers with expert aim. “Is that all of them?” you asked,

unsure of numbers. “Ja.” Ludwig replied stoically. “Vest! Did you just forget zhe awesome

me?!” The voice started to call Ludwig again, approaching Ludwig. “Bruder, vhy are you

here?” Ludwig asked irritably. You whipped your body around to face Ludwig, flabbergasted.

“That’s GILBERT?!!!!!”
