Lilian
Chapter 1: The Prince behind the lipstick
“Gokigeyou”
“Gokigeyou”
The Clear morning greeting travels through the serene, blue sky.
Today, once again, the maidens that gathers in the Virgin Mary’s garden smiles purely to one another as they pass under the tall gateway.
Wrapping their innocent bodies and souls is their deep colored school uniform.
Walking slowly as to not disturb the plaits in their skirts such is the standard of modesty here. Running because one is in danger of missing class for instance, is too undignified a sight for students to wish upon themselves here.
This is the Lilian Private Academy for Women.
Shiroyuki Éclair Hanazono is just one of these maidens or is she?
It all begun during summer break, she had a luncheon meeting with her grandfather’s lawyer and her friend since childhood Mariya Rozen.
“What is it that you want to talk about attorney?”
“It’s about your grandfather’s dying wish”
“What about it?”
“Well you see your grandfather wants you to enter the Lilian Academy”
While saying those words the Lawyer wasn’t exactly if those are the appropriate words to say since…
“Lilian Academy, well if that’s what grandfather wants then I shall… EH?! Hold on a minute! That’s an all girls school how can I enter that academy? On top of that I’m a boy”
Shiroyuki say’s those words with a trouble face, troubled of what his grandfather wants, he thinks that it is outrageous to ask him to enter that academy.
“There’s nothing for you to worry about”
Mariya said while standing on the one of the corners of the room.
“Eh? What are you talking about Mariya?”
“What do you mean “eh??” I mean look at you, you have a body and a face of a girl besides the private part”
“But still!”
“No buts’ besides you only need is a little make-up and you are set!”
“(sigh) ok fine, I’ll do it but still I don’t think that it will work”
“Then its decided then, but what school will you choose?”
“Huh? Lilian of course”
“I know that however…”
Although the official name of the academy is Lilian it is still divided into three sub academies namely St. Miatre (pronounced as Miator), St. Spica and St. LeRim.
“Err… could you explain it to me Mariya? “
“Very well let’s start with Miatre it is the oldest amongst the tree schools it’s been there for one hundred years, Miatre excels in both Academics and cultural sector and they are using the traditional system on their students”
“Traditional System?”
“It means that the Junior High students were referred as First to Second years and high school were Third to Sixth Year, 10 years after Miatre was founded the second academy were established and that is Spica, Spica uses the same system as Miatre however Spica excels on both Academics and Sports and their Equestrian Club were the most famous one, also Spica were considered as the Rival of Miatre in Etoile Selection, Lastly LeRim founded several years after the foundation of Spica unlike the two Academies LeRim uses the modern system, and basically uhmm…. Let’s say they are the Jack of all trades between the three academies.”
“Hold on a sec Mariya you said earlier Etoile Selection what or who is an Etoile?”
“The Etoile selection is where the students select two students who are worthy enough to carry that title; those two students were loved and adorned by all students of all three academies”
“Is she or are they can be Student council president?”
“No, her authority surpasses the student council presidents, also she represents all of the three schools Miatre, Spica and LeRim, Oh yeah before I forgot your mother graduated from St. Miatre however your grandfather clearly says that choose whatever you want”
And so the first day of the school year has begun it’s an ordinary day to Shiroyuki she (he) managed to finish her class without a single problem however…
“Darn I need to go to the toilet”
Shiroyuki said to herself as she makes her way to the toilet
“I’m a girl, I’m a girl, I’m a girl”
She said those words repeatedly, after a brief walk from her classroom she eventually arrived at the washroom however when she is about to open the door, the door opened and a girl got out from the washroom. Shiroyuki was stricken frozen solid in front of the door it takes a few moments for her to thaw and begun to fully function again.
“I guess I’ll wait until I arrived at the dorm”
Shiroyuki turned away from the washroom and head back to her classroom. Later that afternoon right after the final bell ring, she bolted from the room and hurried her way to the dorm however while on her way she happen to see a girl who caught her attention.
Shiroyuki stopped from running and stared at the girl as the girl pass by her
“Gokigeyou”
The girl whispered to her and Shiroyuki were unable to response she just stood there, mesmerized by the girl.
“Oh crap! I forgot that I need to go to the toilet!”
She continued to run, as she entered the dormitory Mariya was on the front door.
“Mariya where’s the toilet?”
“Eh? It’s on the right wing”
Shiroyuki dropped her bag and quickly removed her shoes, her belongings were scattered on the front door, after she finished using the toilet
“Whew that’s a relief”
“waa!”
Mariya quickly shoved Shiroyuki away from the door and saw that the toilet cover were opened this upsets her.
“Shiroyuki YOU IDIOT!!!!”
“Hold on… Mariya”
“M-a-r-i-y-a –s –a-n”
“Eh?”
“That’s how you will address the people here besides the under classmen anyway, you shouldn’t leave your belongings like that when you enter also remember keep the toilet bowl COVERED! Those actions where inappropriate for a girl! Remember you are a girl”
“O-ok”
“Honestly your room is on the north side on the second floor”
As Shiroyuki makes her way to her room she said to her self
“There’s a bit of a difference between a girl and a boy just like Hisako-sensei said”
On her room Shiroyuki were dazzled that the room its self were not used for a very long time however everything is properly kept and everything is in tip-top shape.
*knock knock*
“It’s Mariya”
“The door is open Mariya”
Mariya entered the room and approaches Shiroyuki who’s sitting on her bed
“So how’s your day?”
“I think its ok, well… I guess I need some time for me to adjust”
“…”
“I mean although boys and girls have a little difference on their body, but they have huge differences on their attitude, the way they move, act, speak and practically everything”
“Yes so you must be careful on what you do in day to day activities, well then I guess you have a rough day good night then”
“Yeah… good night too”
As Mariya closed the door Shiroyuki turned in for the night, It was indeed pretty tiring for her since she need to adjust in her new environment.
Chapter 2: Unerasable Eraser
“Shiroyuki hurry up or were leaving!”
“Hold on a sec”
“You have 5 seconds!”
“5, 4, 3, 2 “
“Sorry for the wait, eh who are they Mariya?”
“Oh them?”
“Nice to meet you Shiroyuki-oneesama I’m Liliana Guether, please call me Liliana”
“Oh… nice to meet you Liliana-chan”
“Uhm… er…N-nice meeting you Shiroyuki-oneesama, err…. I-I’m Angjhela Victoire Bledin, please call me by my first name…”
“Pleased to meet you err… Angjhela-chan”
“Anyway if we don’t leave now we will be in big trouble” Mariya
“Oh right lets go everyone” Shiroyuki
Angjhela and Liliana were two years younger from Shiroyuki and Mariya it’s a customary for the underclassmen to address their seniors as “oneesama” or big sister, as they make their way to the school grounds they are chatting and laughing on the road with maple trees on its side. It is as if they are walking on the yellow brick road.
*ding dong*
Shiroyuki managed to enter their classroom five minutes before homeroom, just as she prepare her things for homeroom she noticed that her eraser is shaped as a giraffe.
“What the… Mariya…”
“Oh is there a problem?”
“Eh? oh you’re from yesterday”
“Oh you remembered I’m honored you look troubled yesterday, but today you seems to lighten up”
“Really? Oh… I’m Shiroyuki Éclair Hanazono, please call me Shiroyuki if you don’t mind”
“Oh… sorry about my manners I’m Shion, Shion Minamoto, you can call me Shion”
“S-Shion-san”
“Yes? Oh your eraser…”
“Yeah… I mean yes I don’t think that I can use it”
“Well want to trade with mine?”
Shion held out a normal rubber eraser
“B-but what about you Shion-san?”
“Don’t worry the one that I’m using is enough for today”
“W-well then lets trade”
Shiroyuki and Shion traded their eraser
“*giggle*”
“Shion-san?”
“It’s nothing I won’t use this eraser that’s all”
“Eh? I mean why?”
“Because it’s the token of our friendship”
“Oh…”
“Well then Gokigeyou”
Shortly after their conversation their class has started as the lecture progress Shiroyuki can’t help but noticed that Shion was “playing” with the eraser that she traded with.
*ding dong*
Its lunch break however Shiroyuki is facing the same problem as she has yesterday however this time she manages to muster her courage and enter the girl’s lavatory, however right after she met Shion by the sink.
“Shion-san”
“Oh… Shiroyuki-san your fly is undone”
“Oh… sorry about… EH?!”
“Shiroyuki-san can I talk to you for a while”
*choice yes, no

The two of them went outside to talk
"Shiroyuki-san are you male?"
"wha... err... that's impossible"
Then mariya appeared from out of no where
"Shiroyuki"
Shiroyuki runs towards Mariya and hide behind her back
"Oh Mariya-san" - Shion
"Shion-san!" - Mariya
Shiroyuki and Mariya looked at each other and Shiroyuki give a brief nod and looked back at Shion.

“But is it possible oneesama?” – Angjhela
“Yes of course” –Mariya
“but there’s a problem well for one thing she’s new here, although she is popular because she Aced the entrance exams and good at sports”- Liliana
“well that’s the reason why I called the two of you”- Mariya
“To show Shiroyuki-oneesama around?” – Liliana
“Yup, also… say Liliana isn’t about time to tell her?” – Mariya
“I guess I should but…” – Liliana
“But?” – Mariya
“But what if she doesn’t want to I mean…” –Liliana
“What is it that I don’t want to?” –Shiroyuki
“Ah! Shiroyuki-oneesama!” Liliana
“Eh? Is there something wrong Liliana?”-Shiroyuki
“You know Shiroyuki there’s a tradition on this residence that is that the underclassmen will serve the upperclassmen and since Liliana is your Kohai she will serve you and in return you will help her in her studies”-Mariya
“Serve me? What do you mean by that? Don’t tell me”-Shiroyuki
“What the hell are you thinking you PERVERT!(shake effect) That’s not what it meant it means that she will take care of you while you are here in the residence for example she will serve you tea everyday or something like that”-Mariya
“House chores?”-Shiroyuki
“If you put it that way yes, so will you accept Liliana as your younger sister?”-Mariya
“I’ve never had a younger sister before and I really want to have one” –Shiroyuki
“Is that a yes Shiroyuki-oneesama?”-Liliana
“Yes Liliana I’am now in your care”-Shiroyuki

Chapter 4: Cassa Delle Rose(pron. Ro-ze)
The next morning the rumor that Shiroyuki will run for the Rosa Chinensis election spread across the Miatre also the rumor has reached Spica and LeRim as well
“You’ve become popular Shiroyuki-san” –Shion
“Not you too Shion-san”-Shiroyuki
“I’m sorry that I have offended you”-Shion
“It’s nothing really”-Shiroyuki
“I wonder how did you do it? I mean become popular in a short matter of time?”-Shion
“I think Mariya-san, Angjhela and Liliana’s doing”-Shiroyuki
After a few moments the class has started,
And just like that the classes are finished (how on earth do they study? ^_^V)
Shiroyuki and Shion is walking along the corridor and they were called from behind when they looked back it’s the student council president of Miatre also known as Rosa Chinensis en bouton (boo-ton)
“Oh what would the Rosa Chinensis en Bouton wants with us?”-Shion
“Rosa Chinensis en Bouton?”- Shiroyuki
“She’s the Student council president Luna Asgarde”-Shion
“I have an important issues to talk about to the two of you however, this is not the right place for us to talk, well talk at the office please follow me Etoile-sama and Shiroyuki-san” - Rosa Chinensis en Bouton
The three of them make their way to the Student councils office
“Oh my, this is unusual for you to be alone Luna-sama”-Shion
“I know I ordered the other council members to go out for a while, in any case I’ll straight to the point why I asked you to come here with me”-Luna
Shiroyuki and Shion stared at Luna with a serious look on their faces
“The reason why I summoned you two here is to ask Hanazono-san if she is really going to enter the Rosa Chinesis Election”-Luna
“Yes”-Shiroyuki
“Even though you still don’t know the traditions of this school?” –Luna
“I think I know pretty much of the traditions of St. Miatre “ –Shiroyuki
“Yes I’m aware of that however the traditions of the House of Roses where different” – Luna
“Different? How?” – Shiroyuki
“It is a tradition for Miatre students who make it to the House of Roses the two of them will be companions for the rest of their lives” –Luna
“Companions for the rest of our lives? You mean like marriage?!”- Shiroyuki
“You can put it that way, however, even though the two of you were together for the rest of your lives the two of you can still marry a man of your desire”-Luna
“Hold on a sec Pres. Luna you said House of Roses right? I was wondering what’s its hierarchal tree?” –Shiroyuki
“Very well I shall tell you, at the top of the tree is Etoile, next to her is the Three Roses Rosa Chinesis for Miatre, Rosa Foetida for Spica and Rosa Gigantea for LeRim under those three is us the student council presidents namely Rosa Chinesis En Bouton for Miatre, Rosa Foetida En Bouton for Spica and Rosa Gigantea En Bouton for LeRim”-Shiroyuki
“So that means you are also in the House of Roses”-Shiroyuki
“Yes however without my Grand Souer or the Rosa Chinesis myself being a part of the House of Roses were null and void”-Luna
“However Shiroyuki-san is going to run for that position so you will be at last be a legitimate part of the House of Roses Luna-san”-Shion
“Yes you are certainly correct Etoile-sama however the other council presidents will eventually go up against your candidacy”-Luna
“Why, I mean it’s an open Election isn’t it?”-Shiroyuki
“Yes however it involves the culture or should I say the tradition of the three schools they won’t accept anyone who is not fit to become a Grand Souer”-Luna
“In other words you should stay strong Shiroyuki-san”-Shion
“I doubt that will happen Shion-san”-Shiroyuki
“Why?”-Shion
“Shion-san and also Luna-sama on a stormy and windy day what will survive a blade of grass or an Oak tree?”-Shiroyuki
“An oak tree I guess since it’s a very sturdy and strong tree”-Shion
“I’m afraid but you are wrong Shion-san”-Shiroyuki
“Eh why?”-Shion
“A blade of grass can bend according to the direction of the wind, its flexibility will save it, but the Oak tree sacrifices its flexibly in order to gain strength however the wind will break its strength and eventually fail”-Luna
“That is correct President Luna”-Shiroyuki
“Do you intend to become more flexible Shiroyuki-san?”-Shion
“Yes but not just flexible but also strong”-Shiroyuki
Three days after Shion asked Shiroyuki for the last time
“Are you still going?”-Shion
*choice
A. No
“So what you said three days before was a lie isn’t it?, Don’t say anymore I am disappointed in you, I thought that you were an amazing person Shiroyuki-san but it turns out I was wrong…” –Shion
(BAD ENDING!)
B. Yes
“Then shall we go?”-Shion
“Yes lets go Shion-san”-Shiroyuki
The students of St. Miatre Elected Shiroyuki as their Rosa Chinesis but during the awarding ceremony…
“I won’t allow it!”-Lumiere
“Pres. Lumiere Lamia!”- Luna
“So do I”- Rosa Gigantea en bouton
Chapter 5: Pandora’s Heart
“This is absurd President Luna I cannot simply allow a girl who has just recently transferred to become a Rosa Chinesis, It is an outrage to our tradition it’s an insult!”-Lumiere
“But the election is open to all isn’t not?”-Luna
“Even though it is an open election the selection is not a popularity contest”- Rosa Gigantea en bouton
“I agree with Rosa Gigantea en bouton we know that Shiroyuki-san won because she has become very popular to the students of Miatre, However, this doesn’t change the fact that she is not fit to become the Rosa Chinesis!”-Lumiere
“Lumiere-san with all due respect I want to ask what are the qualifications to become a Rosa Chinesis?-Shiroyuki
“Each Roses or Rosa must uphold the traditions of their school also they are the representatives of their schools in formal meetings with Etoile”-Lumiere
“Is that all? Isn’t it that the job of every student council is to protect the student body? Isn’t it that our job is to aid those students who are in need of help?”-Shiroyuki
“I suppose you are correct Shiroyuki-san”- Rosa Gigantea en bouton
“Rosa Gigantea en bouton!”-Lumiere
“That is our job in the first place isn’t it President Lumiere?”- Rosa Gigantea en bouton
“But still this… an outrage! It’s an insult to our tradition!”-Lumiere
“So this is an insult to our traditions…? But…”-Shion
“Etoile!”-Lumiere
“I was the one who first soiled our tradition I ditched my duties last year due to a certain accident, so last year there was no Etoile preserving our tradition is a noble task President Lumiere and I admire you for that, however, we must give chance to those who want to nourish our tradition, to those who want to embrace our tradition, to those who are worthy to become one with the house of Roses, Shiroyuki-san didn’t won because she is famous, she won because the students saw that there is a potential to her to become Rosa Chinesis, I am not saying this as her friend or a classmate but I am saying this as a fellow student”-Shion
“I didn’t mean it that way Etoile”-Lumiere
“Due to last year incident the Etoile coronation was postponed as a courtesy to her we together with the entire student body decided that once Shion-san once again go to our school, she will remain as the Etoile”-Luna
“What incident President Luna?”-Shiroyuki
“You see last year Shion-san was almost kidnapped however a stranger saved her”-Luna
“Ah!”-Shiroyuki
“Is something the matter Shiroyuki-san?”-Luna
“No it’s nothing (so it was her!) Due to that failed attempt she was traumatized?”-Shiroyuki
“No her parents put her in custody in their house for one whole year, they even searched who was the stranger who saved her but in the end they didn’t find that stranger”-Luna
“I’m pretty sure that the stranger is glad that the one that he or she saved is well and full of life on top of that she is the most admired person in Astraea”-Shiroyuki
“Shiroyuki-san how do you…?”-Luna
“It’s plain commonsense really, who knows maybe his or her daughter is studying in our school”-Shiroyuki
“I guess your right President Lumiere Rosa Gigantea en bouton as the President of St. Miatre I would like to trash the motion for re-election of Rosa Chinesis!”-Luna
“Are you mad President Luna?!”-Lumiere
“No, I clearly understand that you oppose the outcome of the election however if you make a re-election it also would soil our tradition is it not?”-Luna
“argh…!”-Lumiere
“Also you are against to the election because of political matter am I wrong?”-Luna
“You’re wrong President Luna! There is no political reasons why!”-Lumiere
“Then that settles it” Rosa Gigantea en bouton
“Rosa Gigantea en bouton! I thought you were against this?”- Lumiere
“Yes however based on what I’ve heard today I’m convinced why not give Shiroyuki-san a chance”- Rosa Gigantea en bouton
Lumiere took a very deep breath
“Alright I accept my defeat however if Shiroyuki-san don’t fulfill her duties as Rosa Chinesis the title will be removed from her, if you accept this terms we will give you the title of Rosa Chinesis do you accept it Shiroyuki-san?”-Lumiere
All eyes turned their attention to Shiroyuki
“I swear that I will fulfill my duties as Rosa Chinesis from this day onward also I will protect Etoile at all cost”-Shiroyuki
“Shiroyuki-san…”-Shion
“Very well then from this point Shiroyuki Éclair Hanazono of St. Miatre Academy will now known as Rosa Chinesis of the Cassa Delle Rose”-Lumiere
Days had passed Shiroyuki together with the other members of Cassa Delle Rose fulfill their day to day responsibilities and hold meetings with the other schools of the county also she also as the most powerful school of their country they had the chance to have a luncheon meeting with the president and members of the senate of their country
One day Shiroyuki, Mariya and Shion were walking on the tree pave walkway towards their cafeteria
“Say Shiroyuki isn’t it about time for you to…”-Mariya
“I know Mariya”-Shiroyuki
“Still having second thoughts?”-Shion
“Well sort of anyway here goes”-Shiroyuki
*choice
A. Continue a normal life with Mariya and the others
“Don’t be silly Shiroyuki isn’t it on the rule that the members of the house of roses in Miatre should live together?”-Mariya
“Yes but it is clearly stated there that I can choose whether I’ll do it or not”-Shiroyuki
“Is that true Shion-san?”-Mariya
“Yes that is true”-Shion
“Then tell me why Shiroyuki”-Mariya
“It’s simple you are my childhood friend? No, my best friend? No, a truly precious friend of mine whom no one can replace”-Shiroyuki
Having said that Shion gave a face that face was the same face as a broken hearted person
“Is something the matter Shion-san?”-Shiroyuki
“Oh nothing Rosa Chinesis… I’m just happy for the both of you”-Shion
“Err… why Shion-san?”-Mariya
“Looks like Shiroyuki-san’s denseness has rub on you Mariya-san, anyway I will be fine don’t mind me”-Shion
The three them continue make their way to the cafeteria, Years had passed and Shiroyuki and the others graduated from Astraea Shiroyuki decides to stay out of the tradition of Miatre as a member of Cassa Delle Rose and have a normal life with Mariya as his companion for the rest of his life, In the end Shiroyuki fulfill the last wishes of his grandfather.
B. Live with the tradition of St. Miatre
With tears on Mariya’s eyes
“Well if that’s the case I’ll still be your friend right?”-Mariya
“Why yes of course”-Shrioyuki
“Mariya-san…”-Shion
“It’s alright Shion-san I know that this day will happen, but promise me one thing”-Mariya
“Sure what is it Mariya-san?”-Shion
“Don’t let the crazy Shiroyuki run all day long alright?”-Mariya
“Eh?! Who are you calling crazy eh Mariya?!”-Shiroyuki
“It’s a secret anyway just take care of each other alright?”-Mariya
Years had passed and Shiroyuki and the others graduated from Astraea Shiroyuki with their political influence inside and outside of their school Shiroyuki and Shion are now working together at the ministry of deeds, they prove their worth as an in-expandable assets to the government, the two of them were living together on a house designated by the members of Cassa Delle Rose
