1 week later
Sarabeth was pacing in her dorm room. She had to figure out a way to get rid of these romantic feelings she currently has.
"You can't hide from your feelings, and you can't share them. Because lady Nocturne will fucking kilk you, you idiot!" Dahlia said. Sarabeth was very passed off, she was prepared to give her a piece of her mind, but she couldn't think of a retort. She makes a good point, Lucine would likely kill her if she gets any closer to Albert. And if she hid from her feelings, she would probably explode (emotionally.).
"So what can I do!?" Sarabeth asked Dahlia. Dahlia stood frozen for about 5 seconds, then clicked her lips and answered.
"Well I will find a way to distract Lucine so you can flirt with Albert for a brief moment." Dahlia said, Sarabeth figured this would do.
"Ok, but, can we do this tomorrow? I, I want a plan first." Sarabeth said, embarrassed due to her stuttering. Dahlia giggled.
"You can't procrastinate forever, asshole."

Albert was practicing his magic again, Lucine recently assigned him his own private tutor. She was a 2nd year student at this school, and allegedly an old friend of Lucine.
Alabaster Cortis, the 4th 'queen'. So far she has been good at teaching him magic, much to Blue Fire Embodiment's annoyance since it thought that its "blessing" was enough.
"YOU literally did nothing for the past 3 days, you didn't even talk to me till now!" Albert Whispered to the wisp that it took the form of. Alabaster thankfully didn't notice this, and came into his room, hugging him from behind.
"Hello there Albert. It's time for our 4th day of training! I am proud of your hard work, maybe I will even have to reward you if you do well today!" Her voice started out as peppy and excited, but then slowly descended into a husky whisper. Albert was mildly unsettled by this, which only made Alabaster click her teeth.
"Oh lighten up! Come on, the classes ended today, you got 8th place in the test! That presentation on Toxodiles was quite interesting, you get?!" Alabaster said as she dragged him to the courtyard. She then pulled out her Staff and pointed it at a rock.
"Melt down." She said, and the rock started to boil and turn into what can only be described as a mini volcano, which promptly erupted.
"What, THE. FUCK?" Albert whispered into her ear. He doesn't know what spell that is. Sure it MIGHT have been in Silver Feathers or something, but as far as he remembers. This spell doesn't exist.
"Its a tier 2 spell. What? Expecting a Tier 3 spell? You ain't ready for that! Also, I heard from Lucine you tell jokes, but you don't seem funny at all!" Alabaster was clearly just kidding around. Unlike someone Albert actually hates (Klarice). But Albert was a little passed off.
"Senpai, I don't want to joke now. Joking didn't earn me enough money to li-" Albert slapped his mouth shut. 'That was close! Almost exposed my past life!' He mumbled to himself. Alabaster just brushed him off.
"Stop yapping, dear, I can even help you cast Melt Down on that other rock." Alabaster said, grabbing his arms and pointing his hands do Alabaster points at a rock. "Oh, and call me Sensei, I am technically TEACHING YOU!"
"Ok, then Sensei. God my arms hurt." Albert lied, his arms didn't hurt but Alabaster wad too close, he can feel her breath, not even Klarice was this intimate, he is pretty stressed.
"Oh sorry." She said, letting go of his arms. "Screw it. Just call me Al, you seem cuter when you call people by their names. Now, cast the spell." She said, her breath was still warm as she whispered into his ear.
"Ok, Al. Melt down! Melt down!" He repeated, and the rock slowly (slower than Alabaster's) melted into a volcano. And let out of phbt noise and squirted some lava on the ground like a dick.
"Ok, that was funny! Hahahahaha. Ok, I guess you pass, only because I can't wait to see you do that again. Sheesh, and you are so much better at using those other spells, oh well, this is what I get for trying to teach a foreign spell." Albert pushed her away before she could grab him again.
"Foreign!?"
"Yeah, a Foreign spell. From the Empire. News said the Empire is prolly gonna target Lucine, her skill, Angel's Wrath was presumably related to like a divine prophecy proclaimed by their church." Alabaster said, her valley girl accent becoming slightly concerned. Albert already felt that his intervention might have put Lucine in dangers other than the game's plot. But now, he has confirmation, he needs to protect her even more now.
"Heya Albert♡" Said Klarice, slipping out of the corner, she was sweating. She must have fucked another guy.
"The fuck you want? I don't want you ruining Albert and Lucine's relationship." Said Al (Alabaster), her voice a mixture of sadism and hatred. Klarice just giggled and made a showing gesture.
"I just wanna check on Albert, it has been a week since I talked to ya!♡, I also am wondering if you are ready for me!" she replied, her mouth having small lines of drool inside.
"Should've been a month." Albert whispered into Al's ear, who then promptly nodded her head.
"Meteor" She said, and a shadow appeared above Klarice. Klarice looked up and froze, before fainting. Unfortunately for Albert and Al, she managed to roll out of the way of the meteor while unconscious.
"Fuck! Also why is this first year's uniform customized in a way to expose her cleavage? That is inappropriate in so many ways." Al stomped on the ground. "That was my strongest tier 3 spell, she's lucky I didn't use a tier 4 spell."
"Next time we see the Toxodile, let's just feed it Klarice." Albert said. Al nodded her head as if Albert wasn't kidding.

At night.
Lucine was bathing, she heard great news from her roommate (and childhood Non-Albert friend) Alabaster. Albert just leaned a new spell, she didn't describe the quality of his casting, but she did mention "squirt", which made her slightly aroused.
"Such wonders. Albert is truly remarkable, even when I can't (legally) see him at night. It was a good idea hiring Alabaster to teach him, she is so good at giving me info on him, and any girl who might try to ruin our marriage." She hummed to herself as she cleaned herself, before getting out of the tub and Into her nightgown and underwear. Alabaster was on her bed in her own, lime green nightgown, before speaking in a serious tone of voice.
"Lucine, my best friend, there is someone who is trying to copulate with Albert." Lucine immediately punched the wall, with surprisingly enough force to dent it.
"Who? Who is the person who dares attempt to take Albert away!?" She screamed, she heard the rooms adjacent to her shuffle, she blushed. She didn't want the other students to wake up.
"Klarice, daughter of Marquess Vis. She appears to have had sex with over 15% of the male students. I reccomend killing her immediately!" Lucine couldn't believe what she was hearing, such a lecherous fuck, trying to take all the men for herself. But she remembered something, important. Something that is the only thing that could stop her.
"House Vis is the top supplier of our goat products. Albert loves goat cheese too much, we can't take the risk." Lucine said, slapping her head. But then, she had what could only be described as a "villainess" grin. "Give this Vis girl a stern warning, if she continues to mess with Albert, me, and you, cast pain dart on her." Alabaster flinched, before grinning and leaning in close to Lucine's ear, licking the lobe.
"My my, Lucine, what a pleasantly cruel idea you have there." She said. Lucine pushed her away, but was still hiding a grin.
"No, I'm not into women. I can let you be into me, since we knew eachother since childhood, but please don't cross any lines."
"Okie dokie Lucine-Dearie."

Klarice was lying alone in her bed, she didn't care that her roommate actually got approval to be in a seperate room, he couldn't keep up with her anyways. She had some trouble sleeping though, probably because she already got a rest from that meteor spell.
"There's always tomorrow." She mumbled to herself. But then she froze, she heard her door open, she sworn she locked it.
"What the hell!?" She whispered to herself, she was mortified, but then she took a deep breath and smiled. "Oh, it appears a man walked up in my den, uninvited, I guess I'm even more beautiful than I thought!"
"I'm not a man, and I frankly find you disgusting." Said a voice from behind her. Klarice slowly turned behind her and saw the girl training Albert this morning.
"What are you doing here!? This is my fucking room!" The girl just punched Klarice in the face. "My face!◇◇◇◇◇" She screamed in symbols, she didn't even know her voice could be this distorted and hoarse. She didn't expect 4 years of faking her voice to be charming to affect her health.
"I come to warn you, do not try to seduce Albert again! I won't kill you, but you will feel unimaginable pain." She said, before disappearing. Klarice paid no mind. It's the least of her concern after all.
"There's always tomorrow."
