Yandere Ojou-sama!

After the headmaster addressed the audience and gave a long speech regarding the importance of this day and welcoming the freshmen it was already time for the waltz as everyone paired up with their date and the live choir began playing soothing classical music.

The lights were dimmed, and most of the crowd who were not participating in the dance were seated at the sidelines to not interrupt the display. Roaming waiters were also halted as the dance finally began.

"You seem more confident than before."

Akira smiled at her butler as she felt his hand on her back just below the shoulder blade and his left hand held by her right. Her other hand rested over his broad shoulder which unlike in the past seemed more dependable.

Her gaze locked with his as she felt herself falling into a slight daze being under such a serene look. Haruto was somehow more comfortable around her which made her glad at the same excited to see what happens when she acts out of character.

Was it because he chatted with that white-haired girl whose name Akira didn't bother to remember? She indeed saw Haruto chatting with her but considering her butler had no one else to associate with other than her, she allowed it for the time being.

Due to the vast amount of people flocking around her and the responsibility Akira held as a student council president as well as the only heiress of her clan, she could not brush them away until some valid reason didn't arrive. In the end, when that girl began turning red at Haruto's remark was an alarming situation but before Akira moved toward them, fortunately, the white head walked away for good.

Ah, it's such a hassle to have such a charming husband sometimes.

"Well, I can't afford to embarrass my lady at this point, can I?"

Haruto replied with a small smile, trying to remain as calm as he could not look too out of place with Akira. He knew he was being eyed by many and various young masters wanted to take his place but Haruto has trained himself for this moment where he has to steel his will to not ruin this moment.

Soon the music began to play as both of them began simultaneously to move in coordination. Haruto has prepared for this moment and has practiced for hours to not make any silly mistake that could embarrass his mistress.

He was keeping his feet in check, he was not sweating fortunately even though his heart was running at miles per hour as for keeping his gaze locked with hers....then Haruto was having a hard time looking into her blood-red eyes.

He always found himself falling into a stupor because of the beauty her eyes alone hold.

"Tell me, Haru-kun. Having a lady, whom so many desires, all for yourself. How does it feel?"

Quite narcissistic are we... Haruto mused inwardly but didn't let it show on his face.

"Well, I feel blessed to have such a mesmerizing and breathtaking lady all for myself."

Maybe it was just her imagination but Akira felt his hold on her back pulling her slightly closer. Was he really getting possessive here right now?

That thought alone was enough to disturb the dry lands to get moist slightly.

"Haruto-kun. You do compliment me from time to time, but do you really think I am beautiful? "

By now Akira was just saying stupid things since she just wanted to hear more from Haruto. She has a lot of pent-up feelings stored for him and has been waiting for him for a long. If left alone she knew her chatter could go on and on for months.

Haruto raised his brows before he made Akira twirl on the beat before grabbing her back in the position as he replied after a quick thought.

"During my brief training as Butler and also in the past Mom also told me to always compliment a lady regardless of how you think about them."

Akira was slightly taken aback to hear Haruto talking about his parents for the first time but she didn't interrupt and heard him to the end.

"But when I am in front Akira...I just couldn't lie about my feelings and only say those things which naturally come out. If anyone has enchanted me even without intending to do anything intentionally, then it was you Akira. Even in the past..."

Akira raised her brows when suddenly Haruto came to a sudden halt on the mention of the past. While she was genuinely elated by the fact that he finds her beautiful but the thrill of seeing such sorrow on his face and guilt which enveloped the mention of their past was priceless.

She was glad that he remembers what he has done and what days she has to face because of his actions. While she loves him regardless, the feeling of guilty pleasure was just too enticing to pretend ignorant about.

"I wonder what you said about our past, Haru-kun~I would be happy to hear about it."

Akira grinned, and Haruto shivered. The wetness increased at the reaction. He really was utterly drowned in guilt for what he did huh...

But today was not the day to pick up on the topic.

Akira closed the distance even more, snatching his attention back to her as her whisper reached up to him.

"Don't worry Haru-kun....we will have a long conversation about it one day but for now, let's enjoy this moment, shall we?"
