Are you seducing me?!
After Luna's arrival, all the professors left the class wordlessly since they didn't want to get mingled in a lover's quarrel.
Austin announced the next class would be after three days, so until then, all the students were given the task to at least master one spell and use it in the way Austin described in the class.
It was a tough job to accomplish, but in the end, no one complained and accepted the challenge with a bold front.
Now in the classroom were left only three people. Two undoubtedly were the famous couple, Luna and Austin. And as for the third one...
"It's a pleasure to meet you, Luna-san."
Pinching the hem of her gown, Tiara elegantly bowed and greeted Humanity's greatest hope and the dear girlfriend of her professor~
Luna also stood straight before returning the gesture.
"Likewise, Your Highness."
Austin, who was just to the left of Luna, took the coat off the hanger before draping it over Luna's shoulder as he spoke in a concerned voice.
"Aren't you cold in that?"
Tiara's eyes went round as she saw the considerate gesture from Austin. Even though her face was smiling, a very frightening thought emerged in her mind, which she probably would keep a hold on.
On the other side, Luna felt a smile blooming on her face but remembering that she was currently angry because of Austin, she held back herself.
"It's nice to have a man like Sir Austin as your lover, no?"
Luna's attention fell back on the princess as she heard her query, which genuinely didn't feel like Luna was getting asked. It seemed Tiara was stating the fact on which Luna couldn't agree more.
"Yes, it is. Even though he is a little careless at times and forgives people easily, he is a good person to have by my side."
Austin smiled, being praised by the person he loves since her compliments were something he could never get tired of.
Meekly he extended his hand and held hers. Luna tried to brush it away but soon conceded after seeing his innocent eyes.
'This guy.... '
"Okay then, Princess. We would be heading off."
Saying so, Austin bowed slightly before pulling Luna away from the room. Luna apologetically looked at Tiara for a second before following her persistent man.
Left alone in the cold dark room, Tiara thought about various things. There were numerous plans circulating in her mind, but amidst the chaos, a single drop of pearl-like tear dripped down her cheek as she gawked at the distancing back of the man she adores.
Her legs gave away as she plopped down on the ground with a train of thoughts muddling her head.
'Why does he smile like that for her, not me...Why you held her hand, not mine...Why we didn't meet earlier...Why do you love her, not me...Why it must be her...Why? Why? Why? Why? WHY?!'
"I...also...want...you

"I said I am sorry... "
"Don't talk to me! You said we would have dinner together. Now it's already ten! "
Luna grumbled as she walked ahead of Austin, but still, their hands were connected with fingers intervened like an unbeatable bond.
Austin promised her to conclude all his lessons by eight, and then after, they would have dinner in the cafeteria and spend the night without a talk of the outside world. Just him and her.
But professor Austin got so immense being a teacher that he ruined the first part of their date resulting in Luna's current mood.
Seeing that regular persuasion wouldn't work on the current Saintess, Austin decided on the rougher option.
Austin suddenly grabbed her wrist and pressed Luna on the corridor wall.
"Ah! "
Luna yelped slightly as she found herself caged in between the sturdy arms of the boy in front.
With his left-hand pressing Luna's wrist on the wall and the other one grabbing her back, Austin lowered his head and whispered his words.
"You know your angry face looks incredibly enchanting, right? Are you trying to seduce me? "
A blush heated her ears as she felt the hot breath hitting her face along with the robust arm holding her waist like he owns it, made Luna gulp in excitement.
But she couldn't accept her defeat now.
"You...and your sweet talking. "
Turning her head, Luna pouted, but the redness her cheeks getting dyed in, exposed her true feelings.
"You know what, Luna... "
Bringing himself toward her, Austin almost pressed her against the wall, as her supple breast got mashed against him.
"I have decided my dinner... "
Luna's breathing became ragged as she lowered her gaze as Austin bit on her earlobe before chanting what he desired the most currently.
"I am going to eat you whole until you beg me to stop... "

The next morning, Luna felt the warmth beside her distancing as she parted her lids slowly and let the slightly illuminated room get adjusted to her view. There was a peculiar smell in the air which made her brows frown as her daze finally got exhausted.
The first thing that came to her view was a lean yet sturdy back that had visible scratch marks, which she inflicted in the heat last night.
Extending her hand, she healed Austin's back which made Austin aware that she had woken up.
"Sorry for disturbing you. "
Austin extinguished the fire serpent from the top of his index finger as he also threw the cigarette he had in his other hand.
"You again smoking that...I don't like its smell... "
In a groggy voice, Luna complained before Austin took her in his arms and, while embracing her fondly, laid down on the bed.
"It just helps me think better."
Austin was aware that the smell of smoke annoys Luna, so he always did it when she wasn't around, but early in the morning, a thought troubled him, which arose his urge to smoke a real quick one out.
"And what were you thinking? "
Feeling her favorite warmth all over her naked body, Luna became calm as she asked in a soft tone.
"About the labyrinth."
Luna's drowsiness depleted in an instant as she heard about the place, which nearly freaked her out some days ago when she returned from Aurora.
It was the second time that Luna felt her mana being weakened to that extent, but unlike the demon artifact, the effect of Labyrinth was profoundly terrifying.
"It seems we have been ignoring something which would bite our back in the future... "
