260 Chapter 260

Chapter 260- Leon Is Different! (Part 1)

After taking a shower and eating breakfast with Leislet, Acht left her office and immediately walked straight toward his class. Leislet obviously tried to stop him from leaving as usual but he didn't want to stay there any longer or he will be risking creating a massive rumor about both of them.

He did indeed accept her as his girlfriend, but, that doesn't mean they could flaunt that relationship in front of outsiders without thinking about the consequences. Just because she acts so casual and childish, Acht can't simply forget that he was talking with one of the most influential people in this world and a person that could be equal to kings and emperors.

So, if the information that Leislet is actually in a relationship with someone, and an ex-criminal at that is basically nothing short of a scandal. That's why they had to lay low for now until things became better and then they may expose it or leave it a secret.

? The other problem Acht was facing was arguably even more troublesome than the first one. What is more troublesome than an international scandal that could start a war easily? Well, he was about that problem now.

"Acht~" A female voice spoke to Acht suddenly before two hands hugged him from behind.

"Good morning… Mia." Acht said as he hid his thoughts.

Behind Mia was Tania who just simply hugged his hand and smiled softly at him. Her eyes glistened as they watched his face silently. This was her typical behavior whenever she sees Acht.

'How am I going to hide this from the others? They will definitely kill each other if they knew about this… Sigh, did I make mistake again?' He thought to himself.

Mia saw his troubled expression and asked him confusedly.

"Is there something that's bugging you, Acht?"

"Ah? No… I just didn't have much sleep last night."

"Hmm.." Mia and Tania looked at him silently with squinted eyes as if they wanted to discover something new in his face.

"What?" He could only question their weird behavior.

"Can you feel it, Tania?"

"Mmm.." Tania nodded with a soft whimper.

"What are you talking about?"

'Follow current novels ON N (ovelB in.)',

"There is something you are hiding from us. My instincts are telling me that."

Tania nodded her head again to back up Mia's words. Acht felt a chill down his spine from their uselessly sharp instincts. How did they even determine that from the two sentences Acht said?

'This is really going to be one of the hardest challenges I will face. Fuck.' He cursed before changing his tactics.

He grabbed both of their hands and started walking again with a small smile.

"Hey! Wait! You almost made me stumble!"

"Acht… Bad!!"

"You both, we are going to be late. We will talk about other things later."

'I can only hide it for now until I can find a way to tell them. Getting killed because of love is not how my life will end… Hopefully.'

The group then reached their class exactly when the bell rang announcing the start of the classes for that day. The morning sessions passed peacefully and it was time for lunch. Acht had already grown accustomed to cooking his food at home the previous day and bringing it with him. However, because of yesterday's 'special' circumstances, he couldn't cook his food and he had to go to the cafeteria to get some food.

However, before he could even leave his desk, he heard a commotion in front of the class. It was mostly girls whispering with each other.

"Oh my god! It's prince Leon! He looks so handsome!!"

"Stop it! He could hear you!"

"He looks so calm and cool!!"

Such words could be heard going back and forth between students. Acht heard the name and felt like he heard it before.

'Leon? That name sounds familiar.' He thought.

Then, as if to answer his suspicions, a young man entered the class and looked around with his sharp gaze. His eyes eventually fell on Acht and his face that looked tense relaxed immediately.

"Mr. Acht!" He said and approached him quickly.

"It's been truly a long while! When I heard that you came to the academy I couldn't believe it."

Acht squinted his eyes at the young man without replying. The latter seemed to have noticed his odd behavior and chuckled lightly.

'This chapter is updated by N o v elBin.cᴏm',

"Wait. Don't tell me that you don't remember me?"

"I do recall such a name but my memory is slightly fuzzy for some reason."

"It's me! Leon! Do you remember the hunter test? The forest test? When you saved me from my pursuers."

"Now I recall… Wait, you are that same scaredy-cat Leon?"

Leon chuckled at his frank words and scratched his head awkwardly.

"Hahaha! You are right. I was a stupid coward at the time, but I tried to work on myself and here I am. I came here to thank you properly; Mr. Acht. Would you spare some of your time to come to have lunch with me?"

'He does look and sound drastically different. Well, it's free lunch so might as well humor him this time.'

"Ok, I'm free anyway."

"Mmm… Acht? Who is this person?" Mia suddenly approached him and asked.

"Just follow me. I will introduce him later."

The four people then walked out of class under the intense gazes of the students and walked toward the stairs that led to the upper floors.

The reason they went there was most likely because Leon wanted to invite them to the roof. It was a secluded place that was good for their conversation and also had a good view.

The access to the roof was somehow restrained for the most part of the time except for special events. But, it was nothing but a stupid law, just a simple word from a prince or a high-rank noble and the roof will be available for them at all times.

After reaching their destination, Leon suddenly turned around with a smile.

"Please wait for my servants to finish preparing our table."

Acht looked behind him and much to his surprise, a huge table that was at least 30 meters in length was being filled with all kinds of foods and delicacies. He could barely even count how many plates were on the table. Meats from all kinds and weird fruits that Acht had never even seen before. It was befitting to be called a banquet or a huge festival of food.

'Is this even lunch at this point?' He wondered to himself.
