~ At University of Imperial Knight ~
Two days had passed after their last encounter with Clifford. Bianca received a notice that Clifford didn't pursue filing a complaint against her.
Clifford listened to Zhen-zhen. He accepted her apology. He didn't want to look bad to her so as much as possible he would do anything she wanted.
She requested him to forgive Bianca and so he did. Clifford would not stop to pursue Zhen-Zhen. If he had to use his last card then he would do it.
Tristan's words had provoked him two days ago so Clifford beca more determined to break them apart.
anwhile, Bianca was now able to relax knowing that she would not be facing any charges after beating Clifford Sy.
She continued her duty without worrying about those things. She would just be more careful next ti once she encountered Clifford Sy again.
Bianca heaved a sigh of relief since her lady boss would be staying at ho starting tomorrow. Once she was at ho, Bianca would no longer worry about the Bees who were trying to chase after her boss' wife.
Today was the last day Zhen-Zhen would attend school. The sester break would start tomorrow. With that, everyone was gathered in the gym for a special announcent.
Zhen-Zhen would announce the next Campus Belle who would replace her. The entire decision would be coming from her so the school and the Student Council would respect and honor her decision of whover she would choose.
The potential candidates, who were eyeing the position, were hoping that Zhen-Zhen would choose them.
For the past week, they tried to get closer to her and act friendly towards her. They wanted to curry favor with her.
No one knew whom she would choose, even Sophia and Bianca had no idea since she didn't ntion anything to them.
Zhen-Zhen just consulted them and asked their opinion about whom they wanted to beco the next Campus Belle. Sophia recomnded a first year student who was also a scholar like them.
She was also pretty both outside and inside. She was sweet, loving and hardworking.
anwhile, Bianca recomnded a third year student who was a very talented singer. She was waiting for Zhen-Zhen's class to end when the girl sat down beside her in the bench.
She heard her voice when she started singing while wearing her earphone. Aside from her sweet angelic voice, she was also simply pretty.
They wondered if Zhen-Zhen would choose either of the two. But one thing was for sure, Zhen-Zhen would never choose Athena and Jade.
Everyone got excited when they saw Zhen-Zhen moving across the stage while holding the microphone. She walked to the center before taking a pause.
She glanced at everyone while flashing her srizing smile. The students who supported her during the Selection of Campus Belle, couldn't help but feel saddened after hearing the news that she would not attending school next sester.
They wanted to know the reason why but they were also respecting her privacy. They just heard that it was family-related reason.
Everyone fell silent when Zhen-Zhen started speaking.
"First of all, I would like to thank everyone for supporting and choosing to beco your Campus Belle even in just a short period of ti."
"But let reiterated again that Campus Belle should not only focus on the physical appearance of a woman. I hope the next ti you will choose a Campus Belle, don't just base it on popularity."
"Imperial Knight's Campus Belle is more than just a pretty face. She should be a woman with pride and humility. Most of all, she's a woman with a good heart."
Zhen-Zhen took a pause as she watched everyone. She was glad that most of them agreed with her.
"I choose this woman, not only because she is beautiful. She is smart, sweet and kind. I know she possesses all the qualities of being a Campus Belle."
Everyone held their breathe. Zhen-Zhen was now ready to announce the na of the next Campus Belle of their university.
"The woman I choose is none other than… Sophia of Third Year Class A."
Sophia: "..."
"Sophia! She chose you! Lillie chose you! You are now the new Campus Belle!" Bianca jumped in excitent as she patted Sophia's shoulder.
Sophia was still rooted in her spot. She couldn't believe that Zhen-Zhen chose her. She had never imagined that she would beco a Campus Belle one day.
"Eh? Why ?" Sophia mumbled in disbelief.
Bianca just burst out laughing. "Didn't you hear? Because you possess those qualities of a Campus Belle."
"Go on, join Lillie on the stage now! They are waiting for you." Bianca even pushed Sophia's back so that she could take a step.
Everyone was now looking in Sophia's direction. So won felt bitter because they knew that Sophia was a close friend of Zhen-Zhen. The jealousy could be seen on their faces.
But majority of the students trusted Zhen-Zhen's judgnt. Sophia indeed deserved the title. She was beautiful, kind and smart.

Six n were sitting in the living room as if they were having a eting. Tristan was the one speaking while the other n were listening to him. FaMo was also there, silently observing them in his cat form.
Three days from now Tristan was going to surprise Zhen-Zhen. He would propose to her properly.
He asked the help of Matthew, Blake, Jake, Mark and Daniel with the preparation. He wanted it to be the most romantic marriage proposal of the year.
He also connived with FaMo so that Zhen-Zhen would be more surprise.
"Hey, where do you want to propose?" Mark asked him.
Mark and Daniel were treating Tristan very well. It looked like they were sincere in getting his forgiveness.
"Mountain, beach, flower garden, forest, field ?" Daniel chid in.
"Hmm, I want to do it at Mt. Calypso in front of the waterfalls. That's the place where I t my wife." Tristan answered them with a gentle smile on his face.
"Ok, cousin! We will file a leave of absence for the next two days. We will go there to prepare everything!" Blake said, showing his enthusiasm to help Tristan.
"I will accompany my twin brother. I already hired people to catch thousands of fireflies. They will be prepared by that ti,"Jake inford everyone.
"I can also join the twins. Just tell us what we need to do there," Matthew volunteered also.
"Oh, why don't you bring your girlfriend with us?" Jake suggested to Matthew.
"Yeah, that's a good suggestion. You need to have quality ti together. The sester break will start tomorrow. I think Sophia will be free." Tristan supported Jake's remarks, urging Matthew to bring Sophia with him.
"Hmm sure. I can do that. I will inform her later. But don't worry Sophia will keep this surprise to Lillie." Matthew reassured them.
"By the way, Tristan… are you going to buy another ring? Your wife already has the ring. If you need to buy, I know soone who designs a personalized ring," Mark said.
Tristan just shook his head. "I'm planning to use the first ring because it has sentintal value for us."
"Eh, how will you take it from her without her knowing?" Daniel asked him curiously
"Hehehe. I have my ways,"Tristan said aningfully before glancing at FaMo. Je gave that task to FaMo.
They were still talking about their plan when a butler called the attention of Tristan. Tristan excused himself to approach the butler.
"Young Master Tristan, there is a package for you from an anonymous sender. Should I accept it or not."
"Huh? A package from Anonymous sender?"
