Hey, Daddy~
Prologue
Meridia Eleanor Agana Hesperia
"I'm sorry, what?!"
I looked at my father in disbelief.
Meridia Eleanor Agana Hesperia
"Father, can you please repeat what you just said...?"
I asked, my voice calm and a bit cold now that I've got a hold of myself.
Alexandre Thaddeus Hesperia
"..If you wish to succeed in taking the throne, you must graduate as Valedictorian."
It ain't that hard...But...why, exactly?
Meridia Eleanor Agana Hesperia
"...And if I don't graduate as Valedictorian?"
Alexandre Thaddeus Hesperia
"No throne, no crown, no everything."
Meridia Eleanor Agana Hesperia
"...What?"
I rubbed the bridge of myh nose, closing my eyes as I softly sigh.
...This is making me stressed.
Meridia Eleanor Agana Hesperia
"...And...who exactly will succeeded the throne if I don't, Father?"
Who'll be your successor then?
Alexandre Thaddeus Hesperia
"..."
See!? He doesn't even have anyone on mind!
Alexandre Thaddeus Hesperia
"Who else? Your cousin, of course."
Meridia Eleanor Agana Hesperia
"...My cousin...? What?"
I raised my eyebrow in confusion.
Meridia Eleanor Agana Hesperia
"Who...?"
It can't be Caius, definitely.
I mean how could it be him?
Father's definitely lost it if it was...
Hm... So maybe...Loreana-
Alexandre Thaddeus Hesperia
"Caius."
Instantly, I looked up at him.
Meridia Eleanor Agana Hesperia
"Woah, there."
Meridia Eleanor Agana Hesperia
"Again, Father, who?"
Yep, I'm sure I just did.
Alexandre Thaddeus Hesperia
"Who else? Caius."
Father said, his face smug. Wow...
Meridia Eleanor Agana Hesperia
"...Really?"
Alexandre Thaddeus Hesperia
"Yes, really."
Uh-huh. Father's lost it, definitely.
Meridia Eleanor Agana Hesperia
"...Sure."
I rolled my eyes with sass before turning around to leave. I'm sure Father's just tired. I'll let him rest for now, then, we'll talk again tomorrow.
Yep, that's right. Father's just tir-
Alexandre Thaddeus Hesperia
"What, you think I won't?"
Father said, returning me the sass I gave him.
Meridia Eleanor Agana Hesperia
"..."
I stopped at my tracks, turning around to face him again...
Knowing Father, he would 100% do it. No doubt.
Meridia Eleanor Agana Hesperia
"...Why exactly are you doing this, Father?"
Alexandre Thaddeus Hesperia
"...You'll know why, Elea."
Meridia Eleanor Agana Hesperia
"...So, what now? I'm just supposed to go to this school named 'Hegeria' and graduate as a Valedictorian?"
Alexandre Thaddeus Hesperia
"Yes."
Meridia Eleanor Agana Hesperia
"What, like it's hard? Sure."
Seriously, though, Father, this is so random.
Chapter 1– A Dangerously Handsome Man
Chapter 1 – A Dangerously Handsome Man
Ha... I sat in the car for 5 freaking hours my butt hurts.
Why does this school have to be so far away, and why is it on the mountains?! There's also no internet ...and phones are not even allowed...! I mean, my phone isn't.
The only gadgets that're allowed here are the phone and laptop the school gave to the students.
The phone only have 3 apps: Contacts, Camera, and the School Forum, "Hegeria Forum". It's like M*ssenger, but there's only 2 conversations here.
The first is the 'School Forum' whereas you can keep updated on the announcements, school blogs, and stuff. Second is the 'Group Chat' per sections. Currently, I belong to "Charlie". And that's it. You can't add more conversations since you have to get the school's permission to.
Also, you're only allowed to have 3 numbers saved on the contacts. I saved Father's, and Amato's, my butler and assistant...and yeah...I still have one slot left.
On the other hand, the laptop only has 1 app.
The School App, "Hegeria".
It has everything you need. You can search on it, and it contains the information you'll need, just like G*ogle but a bit more advanced. However if by any chance it's not enough, you can go to the library to learn some more. Not only that, there are also blogs here about the school which I'm going to read later after I take a bath and rest...
It's my first day here today and let me tell you, I am NOT loving it here.
Meridia Eleanor Agana Hesperia
"Ha...It's not like I can do anything about it..."
I murmured under my breath as I get out of the elevator.
If I don't graduate as a Valedictorian, I won't inherit the throne which means my spoiled, idi*tic cousin will!
This is seriously so frustrating.
I mean, I want to inherit the throne not because it'll give me anything I desire...
I just...don't want to see my people suffer. Because if Caius ever becomes the king, he'll just...
He won't be a good ruler.
I walked down the corridor, looking for my dorm room, "413", as thoughts run through my mind.
Meridia Eleanor Agana Hesperia
"...413...413...Oh, come on. Where in the world are you?"
When I found my dorm, I sighed and opened my dorm room using the key card the headmaster gave me, putting it back into my pocket after. My eyes fell on my suitcases, that were in front of a door of a room.
Meridia Eleanor Agana Hesperia
"The butlers had already brought my suitcases here, I see..."
I grabbed my suitcase and one by one, I brought them inside the room.
I'll organize this later...I'm too exhausted.
I got my night gown from one of my suitcases, and went out. I looked around and saw another room in front of mine.
That must be my roommate's room.
Yes, that's right. I have a roommate.
It's because the school wants us to 'interact' with other students.
Looking around yet again, I saw another door.
That must be the bathroom.
I headed straight to the bathroom to take a bath and then rest for a while.
I grabbed the doorknob, opening the door when suddenly...
Meridia Eleanor Agana Hesperia
"Ouch... What in the..."
Angrily, I looked up to whatever it is that bumped my head.
Meridia Eleanor Agana Hesperia
"...I'm sorry...But who are you?"
I coldly asked, glaring at the dangerously handsome man who's currently naked in front of me who just so happens to be my type, with only a piece of towel around his...torso.
...
"...I think you entered the wrong dorm, my lady."
He looked down at me, his eyes...looking me up and down, a slight frown in his eyebrows.
And his voice...it was husky and seductive...
Gosh, he's so fine. Where have you been all my life, sir?
Unknowingly, my eyes wandered down...
From his chest to his...chiseled abs down to his...–
...
*Ehem* "...My eyes are up here."
I softly and quietly gasped, looking away. I felt my cheeks and ears heating up, this is so embarrassing! Ack!
Get a hold of yourself, Elea!
What else was I supposed to do? There's a masterpiece right in front of me. How could I not admire them...right?
Meridia Eleanor Agana Hesperia
"...Ah, yes. Right…"
I mumbled then I cleared my throat and looked up at him again, our eyes meeting.
...He has such pretty eyes...I could melt in it...
Meridia Eleanor Agana Hesperia
"...I believe that you're the one who's in the wrong dorm...sir."
The man sighed, slicking his hair back in annoyance. And let me tell you, he's so goddamn hot! He looks even hotter with his hair slicked back, gosh!
Then suddenly, he extended his hand and I look at it. Oh. Okay... What do you want me to do?
...
"...Your key card. Let me see it."
Meridia Eleanor Agana Hesperia
"Ah, yes. No problem."
I grabbed my key card from my pocket, bringing it out and placing it gently on his hands.
Meridia Eleanor Agana Hesperia
"See? I told you."
...
"...Excuse me. Please wait here."
Meridia Eleanor Agana Hesperia
"...? Pardon me?"
I mumbled, tilting my head to the side in confusion. Suddenly he went inside his room.
While waiting for him, because he told me to, I sat on the couch. A few minutes later he got out and my, oh my...He looked so ethereal. He looks like a masterpiece in those clothes...
That compression shirt... It's hugging all the right places of his body. Ugh! How can someone be so fine!?
Oh, but don't get me wrong, I prefer him being naked, hehe.
...
"I'll...just have a talk with the headmaster. Please wait here. Can you do that for me?"
Unlike earlier, his voice is now more gentle...and soft. It was music to my ears.
As my reply, I nodded slowly and gave him a smile. He also nodded back, yet not giving me a smile.
Meridia Eleanor Agana Hesperia
"I bet he'd be more handsome if he smiled..."
I softly gasped, starstruck. My cheeks and ears heating up yet again as I imagine him smiling softly at me.
...Damn, I'm down bad, ain't I?
Seriously, he's going to be the death of me...
H-he's so my type...What should I do...?

Chapter 2 – Distracted Heir
I continued to pace around the room, fiddling with my hands.
authiie:33
(It has only been 7 minutes.)
Meridia Eleanor Agana Hesperia
"...Where is he...?"
As this thought came to my mind, I stopped at my track.
Meridia Eleanor Agana Hesperia
"...Why...am I behaving like this...?"
I mumbled to myself. This is so not me.
Waiting for someone, really?
Being anxious and worried?
What's...happening to me?!
Before I can continue with my thoughts, the door opened. I turned around and saw...him, our eyes meeting.
I swear to God, those eyes of him will be the death of me.
Meridia Eleanor Agana Hesperia
"Oh...Hi..."
I mumbled, looking away and breaking our eye contact and looking down at my hands instead.
Meridia Eleanor Agana Hesperia
"So, uhm...How did the talk with the headmaster go? Will you be getting a new...roommate...?"
...
"Oh. The headmaster said there was a mistake..."
Meridia Eleanor Agana Hesperia
"Ah..."
I let out a sigh, my lips peckering in a soft, small pout.
"Lips peckering into a soft, small pout"!?
Seriously, I must be going craz-
...
"...The headmaster will give you a new key tomorrow..."
When he spoke and broke the silence, I stopped having those thoughts and looked up at him yet again, our eyes meeting for god-knows-how many times now.
...
"...But tonight, you'll sleep here."
He extended his hand, giving me a smile. His smile was soft, making me wonder...
"Does he show that smile to others, too?"
I took his hand and shook it, our hands litngering against each other longer than it should have.
Meridia Eleanor Agana Hesperia
"...Yes?"
...
"...I'll be going out, so that you'll be more comfortable sleeping here..."
Meridia Eleanor Agana Hesperia
"Ah, no! There's no need, really."
But then again, I guess that HE is uncomfortable staying here, especially with a girl.
Meridia Eleanor Agana Hesperia
"Uhm...The name's...Meridia Eleanor Agana Hesperia of Merikh Kingdom. You can call me 'Eleanor'."
When he heard me say my name, his eyes widened, his lips opening a bit as if shock.
...
"...Ah, well...How dare I...Your Highness?"
Meridia Eleanor Agana Hesperia
"Oh, no. t's fine. Please, drop the honorifics."
Meridia Eleanor Agana Hesperia
"Please, hm?"
I cut him off, my eyes gentle as it pierced through his.
I don't want him to be so formal to me. It's...making me feel like we're so...distant.
Well, I mean. It's not like we know each other.
Eugh! Seriously, Eleanor? You're going crazy!
But still, I don't want to feel that.
I was NEVER soft and gentle, nor was I ever soft-spoken.
You can't help but be like this with someone you...find attractive.
There's this feeling, you know? That you just...
Want to look like a good person when you're in front of them.
...
"...Well...I'll get going, then."
I don't want him to but...
Meridia Eleanor Agana Hesperia
"...Thank you."
I simply said, nodding my head in acknowledgement before he turned around and left.
Meridia Eleanor Agana Hesperia
"Well...Great."
I came here to graduate as Valedictorian.
I shouldn't get distracted.
Meridia Eleanor Agana Hesperia
"Ha..."
I sughed as I held the bridge of my nose, my eyebrows frowning.
Tomorrow, I will focus again.
I can't afford to be distracted.
The fate of my people is on my hands.
