Kohaku has recovered as he watched Kamila being treated, seeing her sitting on the bed with her blank expression--speechless of what she have done in her life. After he retrieved the Will of the Samsara to Trilaksana Organization's hands, he wanted to make sure that everyone is okay--especially her. "So, you're okay now?" he suddenly asked, gaining her attention and a sullen expression with tears. She shook her head in return, hugging her body to prevent herself from breaking. He narrowed his eyes, before he sat down beside her while giving a melancholic expression.

"You remind me of myself... when I had to do during my missions," Kohaku sighed, placing his hands onto his lap. "Sadly, after doing the dirty job... I had to clean myself up and don't let anyone knows what I have done. The stress, everything--fucking bad," he said, before Kamila shake her head a little. "Kayana... it was me who should be guilty because of my greed for power--letting my comrades got hurt and dead because of my actions," she choked, crying a lot and felt her aching in guilt and hatred.

Kamila ended up bursting into tears, it might be a long time for her redemption. "I'm sorry... for stealing your power from you, if it's not because of my mistrust, I would never do this and turn myself into a monster who want to bring destruction--all to prove a point and I keep my kingdom safe." she said, reminiscing of the things she have done a few weeks ago. "What did Anjana do? Did he said something to you... before he got arrested?" she added, he merely nodded.

"... he wanted peace, just like what Anjasmara and Anjana told the Southern Rebels--he just wanted the nation of Sandyakala to be open and make peace with Indonesia. So, tell me... what did your family was on about?"

Kohaku explained, making the Crown Princess froze as she wasn't told about it. "My late-father doesn't approve of my plan to seek peace between our nations, because he want me to do what's best of Sandyakala, the things I didn't realize it might bring to me. But..." she paused, holding her chest as her eyes welled with tears. "... I should've not listened to his words , but I was convinced by my servants--until one of my soldiers talked a bit too much and told me that I must bring a vengeance to the one who insulted my land and I ended up thinking it's was a good idea. Why am I--"

Kamila paused when he placed his hand on her shoulder and she turned her gaze to him, feeling it wasn't safe to embrace him for a moment as it not something she had the strength to handle at all, perhaps this would be the time to make her suffer for her cruel and evil things. "Just take your time, also we have to go back to Bali--because of our job," Kohaku informed her, before she glanced away from him--feeling responsible for everything that happen. "Understood."

"We shall protect you and your nation, it's the oath we always served through."

Before Kohaku wanted to leave, Kamila stood up as she slowly hugged him from behind, slowly weeping and feeling the emptiness within. Her mind was gone dark even when she was reminded that she wasn't alone, her trauma was deeper than Kohaku thought. "You can visit us anytime you like, or we can visit your homeland," he said, not looking back even he was startled by her gentle touch.

"Thank you, Kayana."

The Crown Princess muttered with a broken whisper, Kohaku placed his hands into her's as he walked away and went back to his headquarters to prepare his departure, which his subordinates then followed as well. "Wait, before you go..." she halted, making Kohaku stopped again. "You weren't... going to abandon me, was it?" she asked, worried about herself and knowing he was being busy sometimes... sometimes their missions were quite not on their favor--so it would take time before they meet. "I want to be friends with you again, Kayana... to make up what I have done..." she whispered.

Kohaku frowned as he gazed at her, thinking that she was going to regret herself after he wasn't present, leaving her alone with no company--without someone taking care of her mental and emotional problems and still she kept working on her duties as a crown princess. Since it was the time for her to become herself--as the Queen of Sandyakala and her people are part of her responsibilities too, she also need an advisor and somehow she still has relatives as well. "I can ask my aunt to take over my role for a bit..." she uttered, she wasn't ready to be a ruler yet--she need some time to heal and Kohaku knew it.

"Kamila..."

He muttered, before he saw his father Kahayana entered the tent--making Kamila immediately released him because his father is here. "I'm sorry to hear what happened, Kamila... my deep condolences," he said with a frown, as if he was talking to his daughter who was suffering from the aftermath. "Kahayana, you're..." she paused, seeing her friend's father--before she ended up crying in his arms. Kohaku was speechless, not that he was against of it... after all, his father wanted to know what happens and he must told his father of his plan for the new vacation for the remaining Tiryags as their new headquarters to make peace.

Kahayana was surprised a little when Kamila hugged him tight, he patted her head with his eyes were stern yet there's compassion is noticeable in his eyes and he hugged her back. "My condolences to you, dear," the father added, letting her venting out her inner emotions to them. "I'm sorry..." the Crown Princess whispered, apologizing to him and they wouldn't be in here if she didn't trust Anjana. "After seeing Anjana in jail... I feel guilty of... what I have done."

Kohaku and Kahayana looked at each other momentarily. Kahayana turned to look at her as he nodded. "There, there... I understand how this have happened in the first place," he cooed her, before he saw his son remained quiet--not wanting to interrupt this moment even though they both close and a bit far from their relationship, yet he feel hurt to see the Crown Princess of Sandyakala crying. Then, Kamila placed her shaky hand upon his shoulder as he pat her head again gently. "It's alright, you should take a break for a while--think about this war is an ugly situation... perhaps it'll took your some times until you calmed down. Just tell your loyal retainers that you need a rest, and get going, alright?" he replied, she nodded.

"Thank you."

"You're welcome."

With that, Kohaku said his farewell until they boarded the private jet on Bali to continue their duty.

Few weeks later...

Kohaku watched her appearance in the television, where she was signing diplomatic relations together with her Prime Minister as Crown Princess of the Sandyakalan Royals for years and it appeared on the news that some countries were delighted to see one of royals not that many left appeared in public, taking photo and social media has it all--now he'll be going to do some explanation. He was thinking if she has recovered from her past injuries, because dealing with her father's death is devastating for her--he raised his eyebrows when she still wear the shell bracelet on her wrist; seems like she still cherishes it.

He was sitting behind his office desk as he was in the lecturer's room, he seriously fucking hates working on two monitors at the same time--first his laptop and second of all HIS PC IS NEXT TO HIS DESK! Which only means... he have to adjust with the orientation, but luckily his friends got his back. Leaning back on his chair, before he started cursing because his head fell on the chair-level chair that was placed it exactly because he tend to doze off often. "Be careful, would you?" Professor Hokuri told his former student who was a lecturer, he was grinning at him since he likes teasing Kohaku a lot--even Byakuya occasionally as his next target. "Shut it, prof..."

Professor Hokuri was watching the news on his laptop as well, with his three gigantic serpents who morphed into their smaller form sleeping and coiled in their nests on his own desk. He saw the three Dharma-class Phantom Beasts always tagging along with his Asian-American professor like... how is he so chill with them? Wait, he's one of the Trilaksana Organization after all--he loved researching Phantom Beasts. Brahmana, Vishnuda and Shivada also given some chunk of meats from the dead Phantom Beasts when they're hungry but mostly given to Shivada due to their voracious nature.

Byakuya was sitting behind his own office desk as well, reading the assignments that his students submitted to him last week as he also listening to the news as well. "So, how did it go?" Kohaku asked, taking off his glasses for a moment and wiped it with his handkerchief. He must really keep his mind fresh if he have to lecture the students later, hence he use it to type and much more! Byakuya groaned, before he lean back against his chair. "It went just fine, are you talking about the Crown Princess or lecturing? Because lecturing... is giving me a whole headache..."

Damn right, it's not easy, now he feel exhausted by a lot of things--the administration, the paperwork, lecturers' meeting and etc. Kohaku sighed, before he buried his head into his folded arms on the desk. "Crown Princess, of course... I'm lazy to talk about work that involves lecturing but it was damn exhausting," the former whispered to his response, while he closed his eyes. Then, Brahmana glanced at Byakuya that made him rubbed his temple. The serpent had their eyes on their human allies, seeing how fascinating they are. "Seriously, you two are young but you're physically decrepit?" Professor Hokuri mocked, making the other lecturers snickered--before Kohaku raised his middle finger at them and glared.

"FUCK YOU ALL, THEN."

Vishnuda stared at the screen that shows Kamila in the photo, the serpent nudged their head to Hokuri's hand while gesturing the other two humans to join them. "Brahmana, is there something you want to tell me, comrade?" Hokuri asked, as they pointed to the crown princess--it showed some of her expression that they sensed the regal young woman looked exhausted but keeping up her professional smile in public; after making a peace treaty with Southern Rebels. "Oh, you mean that Crown Princess?" he asked, they nodded as Shivada busy eating the big chunks of Phantom Beast corpses inside a bowl.

Kohaku was relieved that Kamila performed her work quite well, it might take some time for her to get ready--because she will be coronated as a Queen at the end of the year. "Anyone want to order some food? My treat," Professor Surya suggested with a smile, making the seven lecturers immediately jumped up for the suggestion when it has been a while since she ordered anything. "YES PLEASE!"

Really? They only get motivated when food is involved, so are ALL of assassins were in the Secret Garden this easy? Let alone his co-workers in his covert work, even his own from his public work. Well, some of them have been doing it from generations but still... it's kind of hilarious for Kohaku to see the other lecturers are getting hyped on getting free food while teaching can really be hell. "Please order a pizza, I'm so fucking starving..."

Kohaku pleaded, fixing his blazer.

The other lecturers have already told him not to overwork himself, especially if you worked 2 jobs--it was tiring. "How was your younger sister, Byakuya?" Mario, one of the lecturers asked until he received a death scowl from Byakuya--he realized that when he mentioned Kyouka who was the lecturer's younger sister; he went overprotective either she was being mentioned directly or not. "Stay out of my sis's personal life, got it?"

Then, Professor Mario was trying to make a playful banter with him which really turn him agitated and serious. 'Not this shit again... it's their weird dynamic that basically close with each other,' Kohaku thought, before he shrieked when his best friend also glared at him--warning him not to do anything bad to his younger sister. It's almost funny to see how tsundere Byakuya is, because this always happened whenever his sister is involved in whatever conversation--either he was mentioned or not. "Hold up, I need to pick up the order now!" Surya snapped, standing up and ran out of the door as Kohaku rubbed his temples in front of his laptop screen.

It's been weeks until...

Professor Surya has arrived as he brought the four pizza boxes, two stacked above the other two as the entire lecturers were celebrating their first completed month of new semester as both their new lecturers and assistants started in the same time as the seniors. "By the way, Kayana, Byakuya. The Crown Princess is in the campus for a visit!" he added, making both of them almost choked out their coke when Kohaku heard that.

Luckily, because of her tall posture she stood out immediately with people immediately staring at the crown princess and camera crews following her. However, when the latter caught a familiar voice she has a need to thank him... even when she walked past the lecturer's office and they realized that they were eating. Not to mention, Kohaku turned to his co-workers as his magenta-red eyes lit up in realization. Oh God, why the Crown Princess is on his campus?!

HOW THE HELL SHE'S SUPPOSED TO AVOID THIS CAMERA AND THEY'RE IN THE MIDDLE OF EATING PIZZA, SHIT.

"Did she knew about us--fuck! What did I have to do, oh God?

"QUICK! HIDE THE PIZZA AND THE COKES! QUICK! GO, GO, GO!"

As they hid the boxes and their drinks into the shelves or even in the drawers, Kamila is wearing different clothes that kinda similar to her new ones when she about to leave the room while not noticing at the lecturer's office nearby but hearing things that Kamila and her guards have passed through to the first floor. "Wait! Can I knock the door?" she asked the rector who seems almost flustered, before he sighed and nodded his head. "Why not? Go ahead, Your Highness."

Kamila knocked the door with a soft knock before she heard 'COME IN!' from their permission. As soon she opened the door and before her was seven lecturers, who are holding their pens and also books. "Greetings, Professors. This is Crown Princess Maharani Paramitha Kamila, she came here for a visit--"

Kohaku tried not to recognize her and just pretend she's just another royal as his colleagues reacted like meeting a celebrity. Yeah, the same thing what Damien told him to cover up his motives. 'Okay, these nobles are way better at keeping their cool than me...' he thought, if not because it's freaking awkward seeing the damn crown princess here! Why the fuck?!

First Secret Garden, and now the goddamn work in this university?!

Kamila was being professional like usual, deep down she's so fucking trying to hold her laughter as one of her eyebrows raised with a frown. His gaze can't be more subtle, she was trying not to be recognized as if she has changed her appearance too by having her hair loose, wearing an outerwear blazer to hide her unique jewelry--while she wearing similar ones but not made by precious materials instead of fake ones as its substitution. Of course, not that anybody can recognize them. "Kayana, hey!" she whispered, causing the scientist almost jolted off his seat as the rector gazed at him in confusion. "Is there something wrong? Do you know Princess Kamila?"

"Ohhhh my god..."

One of the lecturers (except Byakuya) was fangirling so hard, as Kamila chuckled with delight and clasped her hands. She didn't get to have visitors so frequently, it's amazing to have a new interaction with all of them. "Byakuya!" she also whispered, while Byakuya kept his usual composure as the other lecturers were snickering. Professor Hokuri also hiding his laughter, trying not to be familiar because he really know what's going on and the three serpents also coiling on him. As she and the rest excused themselves, the door closed behind them as they prepared back their pizzas and cokes. "Crap, that was a close call!" Kohaku blurted.

Kamila is really like that, she can get away with the government and sometimes make a few ridiculous excuses with her attendants and her bodyguard no matter how serious they are. They actually bought it and acted on it. "Alright, time to visit international school after the national one!" she declared, making her servants shivered in fear on her excited tone as they all went to the limousine. Not to mention, Kamila was still so easy to fool around everyone after they're in a hotel and she has another job to do while his co-workers found it all hilarious.

Meanwhile, Kyouka was in Batara International School in Bali during her second year along Kiryu, studying in the library together with her friends are Indonesian and foreign like Japanese, American, Dutch, South Korean and so on--while she worked on her laptop along her assignments. Her smooth purplish-black long hair with the white headband on her head was tied into tails on her shoulders by the two pair of white flower ribbons--her bangs fell to her light-violet eyes and cheeks, she has light porcelain complexion and slender but petite posture. She wears a female uniform that was standard in her high school, consists of sailor-like long-sleeved white uniform with dark blue and red accents, alongside a dark blue and white bowtie ribbon, a matching dark blue and red skirt with knee-length black socks and white sneakers.

Kiryu wears a standard male uniform that consists of white collared formal shirt under his dark blue blazer, red tie, dark blue pants and dark brown shoes with black socks. He often get involved in several fights (not because he's a rebel, but his love for cat puns can easily provoke people sometimes) for being tsundere at times, and he keeps pulling out his famous remark "Cat got your tongue?" just to make fun of it whenever people not talking. "Kyouka-nya," Kiryu called her with a purring accent--making her cringed in embarrassment. Oh, she can't stand this little thing. "What is it, Kiryu?"

"I'm trying to get into 15,000 words on the essay for History (HL) and I feel like my hands are aching from trying to reach the target limit," he groaned, he actually very smart (but not for his mischievous nature, of course) while he fixed his round glasses before he set it aside. "How many words do you have now?"

Kyouka tapped her pen, before she scrolled on her laptop. "Just reached 11,903 words, yours?" she answered him, trying to read the next sources for the references. "10,312 words-nya... it still needed more 5,000 words," Kiryu complained, hiding his face on his crossed arms on the table. "I wanna rest, but we had so many works to do..." Kyouka sympathizes with him, not only essay and other assignments are a part of their journey for getting good grades--but still trying to fight off the target as assassins like usual. One of Kyouka and Kiryu's friends, Mari; the South-Korean student hummed before she asked them.

"Kyouka, Kiryu... do you know that Crown Princess Kamila will be coming here right?"

Kyouka and Kiryu comically froze in shock, this caused them to almost slammed their foreheads together. "WHAT?!"

"Seriously, Mari?!" Kiryu exclaimed but they heard that their principal really has allowed the crown princess to come--as visitors are welcomed in any school even for educational purposes to learn from one another. "Shit shit shit, we're still in our uniforms!" Kyouka muttered, making the latter had to pretend calm but clearly her inner voice was screaming 'ANNNNGH' for the pressure. "We shall not panic, as long we're still in the library--we're completely fine, we're not even high on bloodlust and fighting--let's keep this aura like a natural oxygen," Kiryu calmed her down, but gritting his teeth when Kamila is coming here any time soon as Kyouka took a deep breath to the point she ended up going to embarrass herself.

While they didn't realized that their friends, Jihyun (a South-Korean like Mari), Jingcheng (a Chinese student), Sasha Kristanto (an Indonesian), Mark Anthony Winata (Indonesian student) and Kazuo Mitsugi (a Japanese student) also already here with them--they're having a photo session with fans that also the same age as them who also coming from prestigious school with the rest of the foreign students who are busy on the second floor. "DON'T DRAG ME KAZUO!" Kiryu whined in a childish scream, his face paled when he saw Kazuo's strong arms already grabbing his waist like a kitten while Kyouka screeched as both of them pulled into a 'Chibi hug'. "Come on, let's meet her! Or we'll lose the chance forever!"

Kyouka kicked his friend on the shin while Kiryu has his legs dangling on Kazuo's back before they went to the third floor. Obviously the princess was seeing all of them, as they quickly line up together in a special platform together with others. "Let's go to the back row," she whispered, Kiryu nodded as they tiptoed and quietly moving towards the back row and behind someone they not known. Good, because they didn't paid attention to those two.

Kyouka almost jolted off from her place, she'd be grateful for Kiryu is right beside her. "Is she there?" he asked, while taking out his phone and taking a sneak peek while putting his finger in front of his mouth. "Oh yeah, definitely the crown princess is there, in flesh..." the purplish-black haired assassin uttered, her head slightly tilted when the said princess looked around the crowded students around her. Then, her eyes landed on the two. "Good to see you there!"

Both of them immediately waved back at her awkwardly, Kyouka and Kiryu have to fucking force themselves not laughing because of their reaction when Kamila focused on their gestures. "Hey there, nice to see you again, by the way... oh my goodness!" Kamila said, raising her voice when the people have already gave their respect and begin taking photos--both of them are blushing and shy until they accidentally met her gaze.

To be honest, the way she speaks to people around her can seem to tell they're all one big family. "Argh... this is embarrassing!" Kiryu whined, rolling on the ground while Kyouka's face reddened as she sat down with her fingers fumbling with each other. Thankfully, she left the scene to the insides of the buildings. "Do you remember when Byakuya almost cause a huge mess that day, Kyouka?" he asked, sitting up on the grassy ground as she was having flashback of Byakuya when he hasn't taken his LASIK surgery yet. "Yeah... it was disaster, good thing his eyesight is back and now wearing a non-prescription glasses as an accessory..." she muttered.

Flashback...

"Byakuya-nya!"

Kiryu shrieked, he look around and he saw Kyouka was hiding somewhere--not even in the libraries as well. "W-Where's Kyouka?!" Byakuya demanded, growling like a beast and his eyes darkened--meaning a big problem. Kyouka did nothing wrong, don't worry--but he might freak out whenever Kyouka might having difficulties and get depressed or sometimes acting strange or awkward. And he was usually being like a loving elder brother towards her since she's his only younger sister, he became such a doting brother at times when it comes to his sister and it would be somewhat sad but very well for Kyouka.

And yeah, the others (including Mari and Kiryu) thought Byakuya is overprotective. "EEK! YOU SISCON!" Kiryu shrieked, everyone began screaming or shouted at Byakuya, calling him a siscon but the latter just ignore them. "You guys! WHERE'S KYOUKA?!" he demanded as Kiryu gritted his teeth.

Meanwhile, Kyouka was snickering while hiding in the platform of the school building--having a both skilled agility and acrobatic skills to helped her walking on the pipe without slipping. Looks like everyone won't see it coming, and so does that guy that she recognized. It's a total bad luck, Kyouka has to stay out of everyone's radar until her older brother forgotten about her before she ended up watching Byakuya roaming around the school while people tried to avoid him, they know something bad is going to happen. Not even her friends, Mari and Kiryu were hiding, watching over and trying to save themselves from any situation.

"Stupid nii-sama, what is he trying to do this time?"

Kyouka muttered impatiently before climbing the pipe without raising suspicion. This is bad, so she will have to evade her own brother when she accidentally said to herself after telling her friends that she knew the latter's way of actions and his reaction will be if he spotted her first. "Look who was hiding here now..." A voice from behind her made her body stiffen up, like a hare. "The personification of cat in general, let's say he really liked an adorable kitten you know-nya!"

Kiryu said happily, almost scaring Kyouka if she hadn't put her hand onto her mouth--and pushed her back onto the railing and holding a finger onto her lip. "Shh... if Byakuya nii-sama was here, you should be quiet...!" Kyouka threatened, making Kiryu nodded with a whimper. "Sorry, bad cat. Uh-oh, speaking of the devil... he's coming!"

Both of them backed away from the rail, avoiding a single glance of Byakuya. But he passed them, realizing that he's getting closer to the third floor. "Crap, why is he mad?!" Kiryu whispered, Kyouka sighed while she folded her arms. "Long story short, he lost his contact lenses and keeps searching for me... he was quite scary before you met him, he was really out there because of his vision problems that he hid it from the world to not scare the others."

"WHAT?! I THOUGHT HE HAD A GLASSES ON!?"

"His glasses broke by accident and he didn't have another spare yesterday, but..."

Kyouka replied casually, before holding out the new frameless spectacles. "I have the new one, but I need to tell him about this later because he can't find me in every corner of the school. So I can see what happens now if he looked rather clueless. He was angry because of his poor eyesight, plus losing his glasses" Kyouka grumbled, while both Kiryu and Kyouka looked down to the courtyards, at the moment their expressions turned into a horrified one.

Byakuya was falling down to the ground, smacking right into the flower bushes. "Crap, put this on him now!" he said, Kyouka nodded as she jumped and landed in front of Byakuya and put on the glasses, noticing the latter woke up groaning in pain. "Urgh... where is--" he paused, his eyesight returned after wearing his glasses--he went back to normal self. "Kyouka, you put on my glasses?" he said, looking at her in surprise. He checked his phone and read some messages that told him to get off school grounds because they (even the others) afraid of the chaos caused by his poor eyesight."Oh, right. I just want to tell you that I came here to pick you up, I guess it's too early and--"

DUAK!

Kyouka kicked his face, both Mari and Kiryu were holding each other for comforts.

End of Flashback...

Hisato's daughter Ichika was in her elementary years in their school, the little girl waved happily with her friends at Kamila while she took a visit of them. As for Hisato, he was hiding in the horde of parents because he can't bear being seen by the client of theirs--he shushed at Kyouka and Kiryu to keep their composures. He can't believe how the assassins having to live in either public or covert place that also used as an education centre like schools and university. All Hisato was told by Kiryu that he never ever been this lucky before, but they always get unlucky when it comes to dangerous mission or being able to get killed. "It can't be helped since only big siblings being registered here by the orphanage, Kiryu," Kyouka explained, leaning back as she and her friend crossed their arms--now that they're in school again, they must have act a bit serious with their appearances and grades!

Then, Kamila and her entourage of guards headed inside to one of the grade school for more photos and visit the other buildings. Hisato was relieved when the crown princess of Sandyakala left, before he saw the parents pick up their children and Ichika ran happily to her father. The single-father couldn't help but smile despite his age almost reaching his late-twenties and still youthful, he kneeled in front of her and let Ichika jumped onto his arms. "Papa! Big sister was here!" Ichika squeaked, when the lecturer lifted the little girl on his arms with a hug as she was all smiles. "Big sister? Who is it?" he asked with a smile, something that should NEVER be seen by his co-workers and friends.

"It's Crown Princess Kamila--"

"Shh..." he shushed her, and placed a finger on her lips. "Little sweetheart, it would be best if we won't tell that to anyone--okay? Promise me, Ichika," the young man begged to the little girl, brushing his daughter's cheek with her thumb as the other still holding his precious sweet child in his arms. "Sure, Papa!"

As they walked through the lobby, Ichika waving happily at her friends when they can no longer see Kamila leaving. "Hisato-aniki, you're here!" Kiryu greeted his senior colleague with a grin, before Kyouka sighed in relief at the Japanese-American who also glad that they weren't recognized ENTIRELY by them. "The last thing I needed is camera flash going towards me for some political nonsense..." Kyouka muttered, glaring when Kiryu was busy playing with Ichika who's very active today when he picked her up and swinging in his arms. "Wee!"

Hisato crossed his arms, watching the students being active. "How was Kamila's mood?" he asked, Kyouka glanced at the crown princess from the distance and sighed. "She's doing well, perhaps--I can't tell since she always put up her professional persona, seems pretty happy but she can be gloomy deep down. It wouldn't be as fun for her for the next few hours until they made Kamila came back to her normal life... I'm not sure if she can bear the burden of becoming a Queen soon," Kyouka described what she had observe.

"It's her duty to become one soon, with that kind of social status--she and her relatives will rule that country together but might be overwhelmed with their heavy roles in their kingdom, since we're trained to become cold-hearted assassins after so long," Kiryu added, before making faces and let Ichika pull his hair while Rayna laughed a little at them. "OWOWOW! Alright, let go of my locks-nya!"

Kyouka rubbed the bridge of her nose, making his best friend also being a little brat like any two-year old would do with their own parent in their school and daycare. "Anyways, I'm going back to lecturing. Ichika likes to see me at work so I'll be taking her with me," Hisato explained, Kiryu nodded as the little girl seems so cute and cheerful while the lecturer held his daughter up and made faces to amuse her. "Got it, take care Hisato!" he yelled, Rayna also high-fived with Ichika before they left.

On the other side, Damien was relaxing in his office as the CEO was eyeing the cityscape of Bali from his floor in his company's office building--while sipping some wine, before one of his secretaries informed him. He was leaning against the chair, crossing his leg as he permitted his secretary to enter his office. "Mr. Christiadjie, Crown Princess Kamila wanted a visit in your building and--" she paused when Damien spurted his wine into the window, causing him to spatting his drink and coughed due to shock. "WHAT DID YOU SAY?!"

"Never mind what I said..."

The secretary left with his new set of towels to clean up the messy floors and Damien immediately rose to his feet, staring in horror when he realized how fucked up it is! He rushed into his personal bathroom to check his appearance--looking at the mirror and fixed his hair as he suddenly changed into his second most formal suit and loosened his tie before tucking it back. Now, check his employees first and he yelled at them through his microphone. "Attention, employees! Our guest will be visiting this particular establishment today, make sure she is COMFORTABLE and PLEASE DON'T UPSET HER! THAT'S ALL!"

Damien tried to make his formal appearance, no need to be such a bad man to her--he actually a good man but very snarky with his colleagues and a bit intimidating with his attitude. The royal Sandyakalan was pretty much used with having him work all the time, that she ordered Damien to went out and relaxed for a little bit. The HR managers yelled at the employees to give themselves a better face, trying to act like this a usual days as everyone (some are clearly excited but had to be nice, especially the Indonesian ones) had no choice but obeying them; especially when a crowned ruler is coming in for the building inspection!

Damien fixed his slicked silver-gray hair with black layers underneath his neckline by his hair gel, some of his bangs almost framing over his ruby-red eyes and his sunglasses, he kept his fair complexion smooth as he fixed his business suit that being made from the finest materials and accessories; and wore the finest cologne that he kept in the drawer for a good scent. He opened the drawers and checked the inside, he grabbed his perfume bottle and sprayed it right before he quickly put away the bottle and folded his wrists--so the scent would smelled normal. Damien was getting nervous because the crown princess definitely knew him with his identity and the Secret Garden as well, a servant was waiting nearby for her.

'God fucking damnit, I shouldn't have do whatever illegal shit to survive...'

Damien thought, while both his palms clammy as he kept wiping it against his pants. That's when he heard someone opened the door, he turned his head to the door as Kamila and her guards walked into the hallway. 'Don't you dare greet me like that...' he thought, before he saw Sherry in hiding like usual--camouflaging as his security and guarding his own office. "How did you get here?" he whispered, she smirked as she raised her shoulders at her boss. "I sneaked in earlier."

"I'll cut off your salary if you say a single word when we have guests, got it?"

"Whatever, boss."

Sherry mockingly stuck her tongue out at the sight of her grumpy boss, so they stopped when they met the crown princess standing in the corner after the closed doors were open. Not only Kamila visiting each places that the assassins were working on--she even visited Radjasa's fashion retail store and Nadya got freaked out when she's in the restaurant... let alone Kyoran who just want to relax his mind; until he saw Kamila appeared in front of him in the beach.

Kahayana feel awkward when he got noticed as well, he saw his son Kohaku was hiding from the public eye all the damn time! Almost stoned expression when he sat on the park bench and the crown princess were passing by and greeted him, politely with a bow and Kahayana followed her movement as he also bowed in her presence. They wanted to greet him, but due to their secret identity and cameras (even though Balinese doesn't give a shit) they have to avoid cameras because privacy is no more since smartphones existed. Especially, she knew how Kohaku struggled with his double identity--on both lecturing and 'dirty work' while he told himself that he knew how to keep his composure, just doing some observation work and occasionally dealing with some trouble.

"Kayana, why are you hiding in the trash can?"

His father asked, he had his index finger and middle finger around his glasses bridge and wearing his frameless glasses--almost looks like Byakuya in his official duty. "Hiding from public attention..." he grunted, as he groaned before he emerged from the metallic trash can and rolled down on the bushes--good thing the trash can is empty BUT STILL THE SMELL IS FUCKING UNPLEASANT! "Seriously, those fucking paparazzis, dad! Even though they're eyeing on Kamila, they always came up to me because I WAS THE ONE WHO SAVED HER FROM THAT INCIDENT! Ugh, goddamn it!" he scolded, luckily the PR people were able to do his work for a bit so he can't be disturbed. 'But thank god I have a lecturer position...'

Kohaku saw his father frowned, before he sighed. "Well, as you can see... I got stalked as well because I LOOK LIKE YOU! I can't even enter into any places by posing as a tourist without them knowing it's really me, well at least it's actually true. Good thing I'm not that famous unlike you--and you got recognized..."

"But you look like me though, from our tall-ass height, eyes, hair--"

That backfired his father's sentence as Kahayana buried his face into his hands, letting out a muffled scream. Kohaku shook his head, leaning back against the garbage container. "Come on, let's go back home. I just finished lecturing and shit, also want some leftover pizzas?" he asked, making Kahayana turn around and gritted his teeth. "Yes... I want the NYC pizza one," he replied, when they head to the convenience store for them before they returned home. Thank goodness, their own mansion was out of public eye and Kohaku might plan to talk to Kamila once they were out from the public's sight.

Their only choice left, just don't get fucking recognized by the limousine driven by the bodyguards of Kamila's.
