Under the Veil of Night

Kanae saw Sakura stood near them. The latter was wearing a blood red dress with a small tooth pointed out from the corner of her mouth. The clothes were quite revealing and many male students have their eyes locked on Sakura, but the girl seemed to ignore them completely.

"Thank you for your compliment, Sakura," Kanae said lightly.

Sakura's face scrunched a bit. She was not praising her cousin at all, but the girl in front of her acted like she didn't understand even in the slightest bit.

"Bring me some drinks, waiter."

Kanae lifted the tray in her hand higher. "Which one do you want, Lady Dracula?"

Sakura took one of the glasses and sipped the drink. Most of the drinks the Student Council prepared were juice, coke or syrup because the students were still underage. Still, their tastes were quite good, and the students liked the drink very much.

Looking towards the nonchalant expression on her cousin's face, she tilted the glass, and the content made the floor wet. Some of them got into Kanae's trousers, making it wet. Hearing the commotion, some students turned their head towards them in curiosity.

"Sorry, my hand slipped."

Kanae moved a step back. "You have to be more careful. As a girl from a noble family, you should learn how to hold your glass well if you don't want to make your partner angry."

The sarcastic remark from Kanae made Sakura angry. There were a lot of students near her and if they spread them out, her image might go down. After all, her attitude represented the Nali Family very much because she belonged to the main family.

On the back, Misae nearly ran towards Sakura side to slap the other party. How dare she said that it was only an accident? Fortunately, Alice held her back in the place.

"Don't spout nonsense. Everyone makes mistakes," Sakura said lightly.

Kanae nodded her head. "Indeed, everyone makes mistakes occasionally. That's why you should be more careful."

Kanae turned her back from Sakura and walked a few steps away. Sakura was startled, she stepped forward.

"Waiter, I want more drinks!"

Sakura's order didn't make her stop her step to go farther, so Sakura stepped again. This time, her feet got into the small puddle of coke that she spilled. Her steps turned unstable, and she slipped on the floor.

"You–!" Sakura was startled. She quickly tried to stand up, but her feet slipped once more, making her felt once again. Her friends were too stunned when they saw this development. None of them tried to help Sakura as they saw how embarrassing Sakura's state was and they didn't want to get tagged with this girl.

Kanae looked towards Sakura and said in a kind tone. "Lady, you should be more careful."

"Help me, you stupid waiter!"

"I'm sorry, my hand is full," Kanae lifted the tray to stress out her point. Her action made some students laughed as Sakura felt that she was losing face even more.

At that time, someone bumped on her and she suddenly felt her head wet, which resulted in her screaming loudly.

"My apologies, please don't sit on the floor as I can't see you very clearly," Tommy expressed his 'apology' earnestly. His tray was filled with the used glasses and he purposely tilted them, making the little water on the glass spilled towards the girl in front of her.

"You!" Sakura nearly went into a rage as she stood up forcefully, nearly tearing her costume. "I'll make sure that you won't get your scholarship anymore!"

Tommy blinked his eyes. "You're truly a vengeful lady. My hand just slips because you're on the floor but you want to kick me out from the school?"

Previously, Kanae made no attempt to push Sakura any further except moving to the back. On the other hand, Sakura's attempt to make Tommy dropped out of the school made the students saw her in a bad light.

Sakura couldn't think straight anymore. She furiously walked to the front door with the intention of going away. Unfortunately, she bumped into a cart and spilled more water to her clothes.

"Don't run during a party, lady," Jay who held the cart didn't have any intention to apologize. He merely warned Sakura who was on the verge of exploding out of anger.

"You! I'll make sure that you drop out of the school!"

Hearing that threat, Jay's eyebrows rose slightly. His mouth curved into a grin as he answered in a menacing voice. "I'm afraid you don't have the power to do that, little girl."

Chills run down on her spine when she heard Jay's voice. She didn't know much about this thin and frail looking boy, but it didn't seem like Jay was joking when he said that she didn't have the power to do that. Holding down her feeling, she shifted her movement and went to the door before banging it and went out furiously.

The students were still trying to figure out what happened when they saw that girl already went away furiously. From what they saw, the one she offended were those from the Student Council. Inside their mind, they unanimously agreed that she was stupid.

No one dared to oppose the Student Council for a reason, which was they were the one who held the highest authority in the school. Trying to oppose them was the same as courting death as the other students wouldn't want to get close with those who opposed the Student Council.

"Now that the interruption has finished," Kevin's voice startled the audience, but they quickly shifted their gaze towards the man standing on the stage. "We shall begin with eating and get to know those around us."

"Yes!"

Seeing the tempting cake and many other desserts, the student's eyes lift up happily. They wanted to eat very much and those foods already tempted them ever since they started to play the role game. Before long, the table was filled with students lining up as no one remembered the incident from before anymore.

"Those who try to oppose the Student Council are not going to end well," Mike casually remarked.

Misae was located not far from him and she too nodded her head. "I agree and somehow, I feel so satisfied seeing her like that."

Mike nodded his head but didn't speak any further. His task was to guard this place, so he had to put up his vigilance at all times.

"You shouldn't stand up like that," Kanae looked towards Tommy.

Tommy grinned. "President's order: whoever dares to mess up in this party will get our special treatment that they will never forget in their entire life."

When Kanae heard that, she was stunned speechless. There were indeed some students who tried to mess up the party, but the treatment towards Sakura was undoubtedly the worst among them all.

"Then I guess, I should give you my thanks," Kanae said after a few seconds.

Tommy pointed his chin towards Jay. "Don't forget about him too. We agree on this matter together."

"I got it."
