He continued, "Ityou then"

I wanted time to stop as we reached the front of the dor hall? It should've been on the other side of the school…

"We should both get so day" He patted my head

He got up and looked at me

"What did they call her?" I asked, a bit interested

"There were two I heard the most" He leaned in closer "One: The Untouchable Princess," he stated

"Untouchable? Why? Is she thatme, he said the other "Two: Lunar Goddess"
