"You may come to regret trying to manipulate me."
"You may have invaded my mind and my body, but if one thing an asura always keeps, is his pri-"
"Pride? What use is that when you don't even have your own life in your hands?"
...
A crisp and refreshing gust of wind rudely interrupted my peaceful slumber, the gentle rustle of my sheets signaling the time for me to finally awaken.
Pushing the either side of bed, I sat up and looked to my right where Sylvie was supposed to be, but to my dismay, she was not there.
Looking outside the window, I saw the rising sun and lush green trees, bearing every kind of fruits as their aroma wafted and casted a nice effect to the colourful ambiance my surrounding.
Looking at the sun, I noticed it was past 9 am at the moment. Whenever, I am home, Ellie usually comes in at this time, to wake me up. Although, I wake up much before that time, she never lost this habit neither did I mind it.
Remembering the events from last night, I sighed as the presence of two princesses just ended up making everyone stiff and formal, resulting in everyone being fatigued when the two left. Arisu... on the other hand, was the exact opposite as each and every member of my family quickly got acquainted with her.
Mom and Dad both admired her at every moment they got while Ellie stayed glued to her, almost at the verge of crying when she mentioned about leaving.
Pressing the bottom region of my palms against my eyes, I rubbed them---my vision being replaced by a static white before returning to me. Throwing my feet from the side of the bed, I landed on the ground as I made my way towards the bath.
My body seemed to be slightly sore for reasons unknown. Interlinking my fingers, I stretched my arms above my head and did a few exercises before finally entering the bath. Undressing, I threw my clothes in the empty basket and started to take a quick a shower.

After a quick shower, I slipped in my white shirt and a jacket and took one final look at myself in the mirror. Maintaining oneself was also a part of grooming one's character. My hair was much longer than my past life, with no hairstyle whatsoever. They were messily sprawled all over my face.

I let out a sigh, not being able to muster enough strength to choose a hairstyle.
Letting my hair remain as such, I went to my door and opened it. Going out of the door and walking down the stairs, a plethora of aromas wafted and entered my nostrils as my head suddenly shifted towards the source of it.
Peeking in the kitchen I saw Alice standing along with Ellie and Sylvie on her head as they circled around someone.
"You really didn't have to do this. But I must say that you make absolutely delectable food. Where did you learn to make such good food?" Alice asked.
"Fufufu, Thank you for the compliment, Miss Leywin." Arisu said as she spotted me from the corner of her eyes, "Oh, Good Morning, Arthur." She said with a bright smile as Alice and Ellie both looked in my direction.
