"Luke keeps on nagging me to act accordingly as the future lady of the Roselia house!" I whined to Sh.e.l.ly and Ellen.

"It's not like we're going to get married to each other!" I complained.

"That's probably not possible," Ellen nonchalantly ordered another piece of strawberry shortcake to console me.

"Stop joking," I cringed from the thought of having to marry Luke.

Although Luke did look very handsome, his personality completely broke the delusion of the typical ikemen boy in shoujo mangas that I read in my past life.

"Wait. You really don't know Rika?" Ellen asked me looking surprised.

"What?"

"The partner system is there to determine who you're going to marry in the future and its integration into the school system is to try to get the partners closer to each other before marriage." Sh.e.l.ly explained.

"That's why it's a mix of difficult politics and the amount of mana a person possess," Ellen added.

No wonder Luke acted like I was already a part of the 'Roselia family'!

"Can't I just not marry Luke after I graduate?"

"There's never been such a case like this before," Sh.e.l.ly replied while contemplating.

When I stopped blanking out from my sudden daydream of my elementary school days, I found myself standing in front of the gates of Luke's mansion.

"How... Why?" I asked Luke as he carried my suitcase that I didn't finish packing.

"We have to hurry up and get ready for social week," Luke ignored my question.

I guess I had to abandon my initial plans of staying at either the mansions of Sh.e.l.ly or Ellen. I s.h.i.+vered as I thought of what would become of me as I hated being inside this house. More like any place where Luke lived was scary from my memories.

The grand mansion towered upon me with its usual glorious exterior. The maids bowed down and the butler escorted me to the room I typically stayed in inside this house.

My room in Luke's mansion resembled a fancier version of the room in the dorm at school. It was equipped exagavently with its own bedroom, bathroom, closet and study room. Just like my room in Luke's villa in the vacation area in the first district.

I falled onto the bed as I noticed the heavy red velvet curtains were perfectly restored as I recalled tearing them apart last time to make them into ropes to escape Luke's mansion.

I yawned as I was exhausted from all the cla.s.ses that seemed longer than usual today. I got up from my bed to lazily walk to my closet to change into my pyjamas provided by one of Luke's maid as Luke suddenly stormed into my room.

"What now?" I complained.

"We have to get ready soon for the social event that's next morning." Luke answered.

"Why next morning? Isn't it supposed to start on Monday?"

"Although it's called social week, the events start tomorrow." Luke sighed while explaining.

It was already 11PM, meaning all the stores were probably closed by now anyways. I stared back at Luke in confusion as he suddenly dragged me to another room.

The room that he led me had tons of flowing fabric and a scanning machine that was cylinder in shape as if it was meant to fit human beings.

"Why am I here?" I asked while knowing the answer.

"We're here to choose what you're going to wear for the next week."

"I already have clothes that we bought last time from the boutique." I showed the diamonds inside the inventory section of my marble.

"Those are work clothes. You need formal clothes for social events."

"What about you?"

"I already have my clothes prepared."

Of course, Luke would be prepare everything beforehand without letting me know.

Without any other option, I followed Luke as he showed me the rolls of fabric inside the room to choose from to make seven dresses.

"What about my measurements?" I inquired while looking at countless rolls of fabric.

Luke turned to the scanning machine as I abandoned the countless rolls of silk and went into the machine.

The machine beeped as it instantly captured all my measurements. If everything was this simple, did I really have to be here when I didn't care what I wore to these stupid events!

"Can't you just pick for me? You have my measurements, the designs on your tablet, and the fabrics!" I complained.

I just wanted to go to sleep and my body was really tired from attending all those cla.s.ses today.

"Are you sure?" Luke responded while looking a little surprised.

"Yea, choose anything you want. I'm going back upstairs now to get ready to sleep."

When I woke up the next morning, I found numerous extravagant and uncomfortable dresses, shoes and accessories in my closet. The outfits screamed 'Luke' when I looked at them.

Maybe letting Luke choose everything yesterday was the worse decision that I ever made. I should've just chosen everything myself as I knew Luke's tastes by now.

Ahh. I should've just sacrificed a few hours of sleep that day. Now, I'm stuck with these outfits for a week!

After closing my closet in despair, a maid knocked on my door.

"Miss Rika, we're here to do your hair and makeup."

I sighed as one maid busily tried to make my hair presentable while the other maid painted cherry lipstick on my lips.

"How about this hairclip Miss Rika?" A maid asked.

"It's fine," I answered with no energy.

"What about this shade of eyeshadow?" Another maid asked.

"It's fine," I repeated myself with the same amount of enthusiasm as before.
