Resentment arose

Riding a shark was a brand-new experience for both Ryoichi and the original guard R. Ryoichi, as a reincarnated soul, had never been so close to a shark or close to happiness, while the guard R, the body that Ryoichi reincarnated as, had never had such chance to get close to the elite life as a plain lower class. Didn't know when, maybe the time when he learned how to breathe under water, both the body and the soul integrated together. Ryoichi's soul adapted to this strange body, and the only characteristics he kept was his black eyes. He suddenly thought of a poet, who wrote the beautiful words: "The dark night has given me a pair of black eyes, but I use them to find the light."

What was his light? The brand-new life, the second chance of living, and the amazing people he met, he thought, were all his light.

After the ride, Katharina locked it up and took him back to the very last room in the palace.

Not knowing it was because of excitement or nervousness, Ryoichi's breathing was quick and uneven, so was Katharina's. Their faces turned red after such sports. The sextual attractant between them secretly arose, and they kissed. Unlike last time with Fiona, Ryoichi didn't have helmet to hold back, so he was able to tickle her ear with his tongue; meanwhile, his hands gently touched from her back to the chest.

A groan came out of Katharina's throat, and it went through her moisturizing lips and went into his ear, stirring the string of his heart. She then opened her eyes and held his head on her hands, saying "Serve me, Ryoi."

The words just gave Ryoichi a passport and permission. As saying "yes, your majesty", he carried Katharina to a table and slowly slid down to her secret garden.

At this time, Jonathan returned back for apology. He didn't actually want to argue with the queen and he regretted it, but he was eager to prove his capability to the queen. He didn't really give a shit to the queendom or the people, but he just wanted to be with Katharina. He thought, with the weapons of Pulchritudinem, the queendom could be strong and powerful, after which, he might be able to change her minds and be with her, marry her, and love her forever and ever.

'Where is she?' He wandered until a slight noise caught his attention. As he approached to the room and was about to enter, the gradually clear voice stopped him.

"Ryoi, there, there."

It was Katharina.

Without seeing in his eyes, Jonathan could know what was happening inside just by the sound. He suddenly felt like that sound took away all his strength and left him slide down. He covered his mouth and tried not to make any noise, but his eyes could not hold back any tear. The pearl-like tears were floating and finally melted into the water, just like his feelings not seen by others.

After calming down a little, he sneaked away, stumbling. An evil thought emerged. Anyone could tell it from his red eyes. It was a short night for those two souls reaching the climax of happiness inside the room, while it was destined to be a long night for the lonely soul outside which became insane under the long-time depression.

Morning.

Seeing Katharina dressed up, Ryoichi couldn't help asking: "about what happened last night, is it okay? I mean, I'm kinda your sister's fiancé." While deep inside, he was thinking if it was a tradition that the elites were messing around.

"I know what you're thinking. Indeed, the elites are messing around, but I don't do that. I only sleep with who I'm interested. As for Fiona, I thought your relation was only nominal, wasn't it? And you can be Fiona's fiancé and my favorite at the same time. So stop thinking of the nonsense and just enjoy your life." Then she looked at his eyes and said, "why didn't I ever notice you before? You're unlike any other people. Are you from another world? Haha, I'm just joking. How could that be possible? Okay, I should go. See you." She kissed him on his cheek and left the room.

Ryoichi lay down and thought, 'you're right.' Then he went back to sleep due to tiredness.

When he woke up again, it was near dusk. He went back to his residence. There was food prepared for him, but seemed like it had been put there for some time. He felt starving and was about to eat, S came followed by some fish.

"Ryoi, I saw these new fishes. They're beautiful, aren't they! See? They can dance around me."

Those colorful fishes were describing a circle around him, which was pretty.

"Yes! Interesting!"

"They are cute, but watch out, they might eat up your food." S hadn't finished his words, those fishes smelled the food in Ryoi's hand and rushed to eat it up.

"See? I told you so." S shrugged his shoulder.

"That's fine. We can go…" As Ryoichi was laughing, the fish suddenly twitched and belly up without struggling much.

"What the?" Both of them were shocked.

"Looks like someone is poisoning my food."

"What?! How come?! Who would that be? Why would someone want to kill you?! Do you think it would be the same person who got you allergic and lose your memory?"

"I have no clue, but I do know I have to be more careful. And S, you also have to. I'm afraid that you'll also be involved because of our friendship."

"How come?! I'm just a plain and ordinary guard. Don't you worry about me. I'll be fine. After all, I'm a guard. I can protect you and the palace! I suggest that you can hide in the palace for now. At least the queen and the princess will protect you with their power, right?"

Ryoichi pondered a while and said: "I don't think so. I'm from lower class and just became elite. The others might just want me to die. Not only the elites, but the Pulchritudinem kingdom also has the reason to kill me. Only the queen and princess don't have enough power to protect me. I'm afraid I have to hide in somewhere else, just for a day or two, to see what will be happening."

S then suggested Ryoichi to staying in his parents' residence, but he still refused due to the fear of getting them involved. Finally, they decided to hide in the small motel of those who S came across accidentally when he was finding the place to live.

"They have no obvious relation to me. Plus, they live in the deep sea and don't talk much. I just accidentally helped them once and just visited them for once or twice."

"That'll be it! Thank you!"

"Come on. But before that, you have to change your glamorous suit, haha."

Then they left for now. They wouldn't expect that right after they left, the storm would come.
