Esper Harem in the Apocalypsechapter 238: classroom

After walking for only Rudy knew how long, they reached Jane's classroom. But much to their surprise, it was open, and students were inside.

"I was expecting it to be close so we could do whatever we wanted, but it's open…" she muttered.

"Well, we were here to see the classroom, so… we already did that," Rudy shrugged.

"I wanted to spend some time… inside…" she muttered with a flushed face. "I share many happy and good memories with this room. So I wanted my most happy memory, you, to be there too."

"Aww~" A smile appeared on Rudy's face after seeing Jane acting girly all of a sudden.

"Don't make fun of me!"

Rudy grabbed Jane's hand and took her into the room where around twenty students were already present.

They started whispering to each other as Rudy nonchalantly started walking around the classroom.

Jane seemed reluctant at first, but then she stopped worrying and smiled at Rudy.

Without caring for anyone, Rudy turned to Jane and asked, "So, which one is your seat and which one is Rias'?"

Curiosity was brimming on Rudy's face, and it was evident that he was excited. Luckily, there was no teacher in the room, and the students seemed afraid of Rudy as they had seen his feat in the battle last night.

Jane glanced around the room and pointed her finger at the desk in the last row next to the window.

"Hmm. That's a weird seat for a princess, but I know the reason why," he sighed. "Which one is Rias?"

Jane pointed her finger to the seat next to hers.

"Oh."

Rias' seat was empty, but a female student was sitting on Jane's seat.

Rudy walked to Rias' seat and sat there. He spread his arms in the air and yawned out loud, causing a few students and Jane to yawn too.

Rudy glanced at the other students who had been staring at him from the moment he entered the room.

"What are you staring at?" he asked.

The students averted their faces and resumed what they were doing.

'Ouch! That hurts…' he uttered inwardly.

Rudy simply wanted to talk with the students, but that was impossible since they were scared of him.

Rudy looked at Jane, who was standing on the other side of the room, looking at him with a smile on her face. Even though she was a princess, no one was giving her any respect.

"Uhh…" Rudy turned to the female student sitting next to him and said, "Can you… move for a while?"

The student stared at Rudy for a few seconds and let out a big high. She grabbed her stuff from the desk and walked to the other empty desk.

Rudy signaled Jane to sit on her seat, and Jane rushed right away. She sat on her desk and looked at the whiteboard.

"It feels like we are going to school together…" she uttered in a low voice.

"Rias and I did go to school together, so I know that feeling."

"Is it strange that I now wish that we had met much sooner?" Jane asked awkwardly.

"Hmm. You said you are turning 40 in two weeks, so that would mean I was born when you were around 22 years old. And… let's say I had met you when I was five years old, so that would make you 27 years old. I think this is the best age to meet. I am mature and 18 years old. I can make my own decisions and take responsibility."

"I wasn't talking about that…" she murmured.

Rudy held Jane's hand in his hand and said, "I get where you are coming from. And believe me, I know that feeling better than anyone. Who wouldn't wish to meet their lover sooner?"

He chuckled.

They talked for a while until the topic of marriage came up.

"Since vampires live for thousands of years, what's the average age they get married?"

"Marriages are rare here. And mostly the royals and nobles marry to keep or increase their status," Jane responded calmly.

"I should have guessed that."

"Most of the vampires have open relationships. One of the reasons is that vampires get bored of things easily. Even if they fall in love with someone and have a great relationship together, they would drift apart after a few hundred years. They say at one point, the love dies," she asserted with a sigh.

Rudy noticed a sad look on Jane's face and uttered, "Don't worry. I will never stop loving you or any of the girls in my harem. In fact, my love would keep growing infinitely."

"You are so smooth at this stuff. No wonder you have a harem," Jane remarked. "Whenever you say such things, it makes my heart flutter."

'And some say I am cringe…' Rudy sighed inwardly.

"Will you…" Jane averted her gaze but repeatedly glanced at Rudy and hesitantly asked, "Will you marry me too?"

"Of course. When the time comes, I will marry you."

"And when will the time come?" she asked curiously.

"When… we both are ready?"

They were discussing marriage, not knowing the fact that they were already married.

Jane moved her face close to Rudy to kiss him, but she looked past his shoulders and noticed the students were staring at them.

"...!" She immediately hid her face with her hands.

'She forgot that she was hiding our relationship, didn't she?' Rudy let out a chuckle and muttered, "I didn't know you had a clumsy side too."

Suddenly, a blonde-haired male student walked into the class and stood on the stage.

"..." Rudy raised his brows and watched the student with an amused look on his face.

The student glanced around the room as though he was looking for something or someone. After looking at all the students one by one, he looked at Rudy and frowned his face.

"..."

He hastily approached Rudy with heavy steps and slammed his hands on the desk.

'I knew something like this was going to happen….'
