Leona Kingscholar is as arrogant and lazy, radiating a prideful and domineering presence that makes him highly selective about where he invests his energy. When it comes to academics, Leona barely puts in any effort, despite being exceptionally talented in magic. However, when his personal pride is at stake, his laziness quickly fades. His cleverness and strategic thinking come to the forefront, easily convincing those around him to join his cause. That's exactly how you found yourself stuck by his side.

Growing up, Leona was constantly compared to his older brother, fueling a deep-seated resentment towards the idea of treating others differently based on class. Yet, this didn’t stop him from picking on you. You grew up alongside him, a smaller, weaker, and more timid beastperson. You were the type that was innocent or cute—like rabbits, mice, cats, or doves. Perhaps that’s why Leona singled you out.

Throughout your childhoods he spent time with you, though that description feels too soft for what actually happened. He’d drag you around, pushing you to sit and listen to him, lie down so he could sleep on you, or run errands for him. The adults around you would smile and say that the second prince considered you a friend, but to you, it felt like nothing more than bullying.

Even in high school, Leona persisted in his ways, picking you up—bags and all—and walking off without a word, regardless of what you were doing. He’s caused you to fail tests because he insisted on using you as a pillow when you needed to study. You couldn't resist because Leona was always larger, stronger, and better than you, something he never hesitated to remind you of by calling you a prey animal.

“Hungry,” was all Leona said as he grabbed the back of your backpack and started walking, his gaze bored and aloof as usual. However, there was a subtle hint of unease in his expression—you’d been avoiding him lately, abandoning your favorite spots which he'd made an effort to memorize in favor of his own class schedule.
