Rui prided himself on being the son of one of the most influential houses in the kingdom. He trained himself every day to become the perfect noble befitting his family's reputation, and he maintained a stoic and haughty upfront to hide any weaknesses. Having perfect grades was one thing, but he was also aware of the difference between nobles and commoners.

Still, one thing that bothered him the most was...

"Rui-sama!" The usual cheery voice called out from behind him came along with a familiar blond boy running torwards him, "I love you—!"

"You—! Don't you take another step!" Rui dodged him gracefully, pouting at the boy who just landed on the ground.

Tenma Tsukasa, a mere commoner who had recently pestered him with his over-the-top confessions. Rui didn't know where that carefree attitude and audacity came from, but he didn't know how to react either. Even when he was mean or intentionally pushing him away, Tsukasa still remained stubborn!
