Plot
The day of the Holfort Academy's Culture Festival has arrived and trouble starts when a discourteous lady student from the Offrey Family arrives. To make matters worse, Queen Mylene arrives at Leon's café and intends to speak her mind about Leon's actions during his duel with her son. Not to mention her son's relationship with Marie.

Summary


Students of the Holfort Academy prepare for the Culture Festival and Leon directs Daniel and Raymond setting up a tea party for it. A sheepish Livia then arrives dressed in a maid outfit and softly asks if what she's wearing isn't strange and Leon gives his seal of approval for it. Angie then enters the scene and shows off herself dressed in a maid outfit and has a special bonding moment with Livia over their outfits. Moved to tears, Leon becomes emotional witnessing Angie and Livia's bonding moment, but laments that he cannot date them as he's a mob character.

At that moment, Jenna enters Leon's room with her butler demanding to speak with Leon. Having been seated and served some tea, Leon curtly asks why Jenna is there and she informs him that she had a fight with a friend of hers. The fight was about a Viscount who was set to earn great wealth and Jenna tried to steal him away from her friend, but failed. Hence, Jenna wants Leon to settle the matter in her place, but Leon flatly refuses and Angie backs him up. Upset by this refusal, Jenna leaves with her butler; although that matter was settled, Daniel and Raymond both report an urgent problem next door.



Former Prince Julius and his entourage host a tea party of their own right next door, calling it Café Princess. Left speechless by this revelation, Julius then approaches Leon and notes how he heard that he's also holding a café for the Culture Festival. Julius then invites Leon to it, which enrages Leon because of his stuck-up attitude. Livia is then astonished by the price of the café's tea, but Julius claims that Marie suggested it. Walking away after saying a besmirching comment, Julius is followed by Leon and his group, who want to see their café and find out that it's set like a real-world Host Club. Inside the café, Brad comments how ignoble Leon is for scouting the competition, however, Chris notes how it was worth it for Leon's reaction. As it turns out, the café setting was Marie's idea and when Livia comments on how strange the place is for a café, the person in question shows up. Marie then gets into a brief verbal scuffle with Leon who speaks disparagingly toward Marie about the name of the café. In turn, Marie suggests that Leon change his café into a breakroom for hers, but Leon refuses in favor of his Master.

Standing outside while holding a sign for her café, Livia tries to attract guests to attend Leon's café, but to no avail. She's then approached by a girl named Carla Fou Wayne who expresses interest in visiting the café. That night, Queen Mylene shows great interest in attending Leon's café.



The following day, Leon psyches up the boys and more so the girls, much to the boys' chagrin. It's then that a teacher informs Angie that the Executive Council wishes to speak with her. Later, Angie was assigned to be an escort for Queen Mylene during her stay at the festival. Mylene apologizes for her son Julius' impertinence toward Angie who holds her in high esteem and internally notes how disgusting the women's attitudes towards the men are. Meanwhile, Leon and Livia watch as a long line forms to enter the Prince café. They're then approached by a vicious looking lady and her group then approached the two and demanded that they be allowed to enter their café. A bit later, Mylene arrives at the café hoping to cause some playful trouble for Leon, but witnesses him being berated by the lady who entered his café earlier. Unable to witness the altercation any further, Angie steps in and asks the guest to leave and recognizes the lady as someone from the Offrey Family, a rival to her own. Livia also steps in and tries to ask the Offrey Lady to leave, but instead, she disparages Livia for being a commoner. Furthermore, she reveals that Angie once said that commoners are nothing, but numbers. As the Offrey Lady continues to speak disparagingly against Angie, Leon speaks up for Angie which makes him be slapped by one of the Offrey lady's male escorts. Finally intervening, Mylene speaks up for Leon and asks the Offrey lady to leave. However, the Offrey Lady was unaware that the "Old Lady" was really Queen Mylene refuses, causing Leon to smile a sinister smile while emitting a dark aura from his body. Leon then using magical enhancements on himself, beats up the Offrey Lady's male escorts and then proclaims that the Offrey Lady had been disparaging Queen Mylene. Despite, Mylene trying to stop and reason with Leon, he continues to take full advantage of the situation.

To mediate the situation, Angie calls in Master who manages to emotionally reach Leon and when he leaves to prepare everyone some tea, Mylene has a chat with Leon. She warns that the duel he had with Julius was churlish and caused him to have many enemies in the Royal Palace. Asking if he's thought about what he'll be doing for his future, Leon exclaims that he had and is pleased to hear that, Mylene then changes the subject asking him if he'll help make some memories with her. Taking the request to the fullest, Leon agrees to do it and asks for her to marry him, which flusters her. Julius then arrives at the scene, slams his fist into Leon's head, and after a brief verbal scuffle with Leon, punches him into a trash can and escorts his mother to his own café.

At Julius' café, Mylene discusses matters about her son's café of how outlandish and exorbitant the prices not to mention how Julius broke his promise based on the duel he had with Leon. She then demands to see Marie who was hidden behind a curtain close by sweating buckets.

Back to Leon's café, Leon laments that a mob character like him cannot interact with the Queen, and Carla enters. Although turned away by Leon, she spots Livia and asks her to follow up with her favor, which was introducing her to Leon. Getting on one knee, Carla then requests that Leon save her family.
