Chapter 1078 Alice
Kana pondered Francesca"s words for a moment before nodding slightly. "I can not say for sure if this is what love truly is. Because I think it changes depending on the person, but for me, it is if you are willing to be with someone for all eternity. Even in reincarnation, you are willing to search for your one and only love from your past life. Wait for them to grow, and do everything you can to support them.
"Criege did just that for me. He waited for me. And appeared in front of me. Gave me love, care, a family I love dearly, and even when I lost everything, he waited for me. He cherishes me to the fullest and is willing to go through life and death with me. This is why, when anyone asked me to be with them I can say for one hundred percent certainty that there will never be another man as great as my Creige in my lifetime or any incarnation that I might live. I know this from the bottom of my soul." Kana leaned into Creige"s embrace. "If he were to die, I think I would die with him. This is just how much I love him."
Creige stroked the top of Kana"s head. He did not like the idea of Kana dying, but he did not say anything since Kana was just making a point. If it ever came down to him dying before her he had already taken precautions to make sure she wouldn"t take her own life. The only way to stop her was her children. It was a cheap move, but he wanted to make sure she would never take her own life.
"I see…" Francesca really could not see herself falling that deeply in love. But she was happy for Kana. She had found her soulmate. Someone who would go through thick and thin with her. Francesca could only sigh and wonder if she would ever find her own soulmate as Kana did.

In another part of the academy, a young girl was currently running down a hall. Or more like the teddy bear she was riding on was doing the running. "I said leave me alone!"
"We can"t do this without you!" A girl yelled out as she chased after the teddy bear. "Only your puppet magic will make this play a success!"
"I do not have time to be playing around with some play!" The girl on the teddy bear yelled back as she tapped the teddy bear"s head to make it go faster.
"Please find the time! Miss Mei is the only one who can make the stage come alive! Please play Alice!" The girl yelled out. She was somehow keeping up with the speedy teddy bear. But then again, Mei was not going too fast since she was in the hallways of the academy.
"I do not want to play this Alice person! Who the h.e.l.l jumps down a rabbit hole chasing a talking rabbit!?" Mei Ling yelled back. She did not want to play in some play! It would consume too much research time!
"But only you fit this part! Only you can play the lead role! What if I offer something in return? You name it, and I will offer it!" The girl was willing to do anything. She would even sell her soul to this girl if she played Alice!
Mei Ling, had her teddy bear slow down as she turned her head and asked: "You will really do anything? Anything at all?"
"Yes! Anything!" The girl nodded her head like a baby chick.
"Then leave me alone!" Mei Ling yelled and began running again! She wanted no part in any of this!
"Hey! Come on! Once you start, you will find it is fun!" The girl was not willing to give up!
"See, you lied! You were not willing to do anything at all!" Mei Ling shouted. She knew this girl would go back on her words.
"I will do anything but leave you alone!" The girl replied as she continued to give chase.
All the students watched in amus.e.m.e.nt as a teddy bear with a girl on its shoulder ran for its life while another girl chased after her. They knew it was not some kind of bullying as the girl chasing seemed to be pleading with the girl on the teddy bear, so it made for a good show.
Meanwhile, Bi Ling walked out of her cla.s.s to see a teddy bear racing past her. And then another girl following it. She reached up and scratched her head, and turned away from the scene. She could tell her sister was having fun, so she would just let her have fun. "I wonder if Sister Yana will train with me again…." With thoughts of training in mind, Bi Ling continued down the hall, lost in thought.

"Miss Angelica, may I have a word with you?" A young man walked up to Angelica and asked in a low voice. As soon as he did, the murmurs of those around them could be heard.
"Another one…"
"I wonder if he will succeed."
"Doubt it. The Library Fairy only cares about reading and nothing else."
"MMm… it"s a shame, though, the Library Fairy is truly beautiful."
"No one will ever have a chance to stand by her side."
Angelica, who was nose deep in a book slowly raised her eyes and looked at the handsome young man in front of her. "What is it?"
"Ummm… Can we speak elsewhere?" The young man Blushed. He really did not wish to ask her out in front of so many.
"What is the point? If you are going to ask me out, just do it here. It will save me the time from needing to walk back and forth. I mean, as soon as I reject you, I will end up coming back here to finish my book. So let"s just get this over with. No, I will not date you. I would rather date my little sister than date you. At least she knows better than to interrupt me when I am reading. She is also cuter than you. To be honest, unless you can match up to my Handsome Papa in looks, no guy will ever be good enough for any of my sisters, myself included. " Angelica replied flatly. She could not be bothered with all of this.
"Angelica, it"s almost time to go." Ulia came over, seeing how Angelica was once again being bothered by others.
Angelica closed her book and got up from her seat. She gathered her things and began walking out of the cla.s.sroom with Ulia. It was then an idea sparked in her mind. "Now that I think about it, I have a great idea of how to stop all of these confessions. Ulia, we are now dating. Make sure you spread it around." Angelica decided the best way to deal with people was to have a s.h.i.+eld. Ulia just so happened to have told her before that she did not wish to get married at all either, so this worked out perfectly. Ulia was also very cute, so she would get hit on a lot.
"Huh?" Ulia blushed and lowered her head before nodding. "I will tell everyone…."
"Thanks! Now we can be each other"s s.h.i.+eld." Angelica liked this idea. Even if her family found out, it would not matter. Ulia was the quiet type and liked to study, so she was always reading textbooks. If they were seen together a lot, it would not bother her reading time at all.
Ulia"s lips pouted a little when she heard the s.h.i.+eld part, but she still did not mind the idea at all. She, too, was sick of all the confessions. She and Angelica got about one or two a day. Samie and Jill would joke about how the two of them should just get married to deal with it all. She also thought this way a few times too, but she never thought that Angelica would bring it up herself.
What the two did not realize was that this s.h.i.+eld strategy that they had decided on would one day bloom into something much bigger.
