SELENA’S POV
It’s been two months since the departure of the crown prince and the rest of the knights, news said that they won countless battles here and there. And the person who leads those victories was no other than the crown prince himself. After two months that have passed, I exceed as well in academics, not only me but Julie too. Both of us excel, so the scholars let us take the advanced level, we are the same level as John and Gin, the aide of the crown prince. He was left here for a reason, lately, I heard that he is the one who takes care of the matters that the crown prince should do, but due to his highness is not here, he is the one who has the control of it. John and Him have one month left before they could finally have their early graduation. I was also planning to have mine too so that I could earn money and leave the Ascania.
Many things have changed in just two months, even my brother, he is already taken a part in the knightage and become the captain of the Red Alpha, which my father is the former captain of it. Blue Bravo is the knighthood that belongs to our family that serves as the sword that to protects and acts as the shield of the imperial family and the land. There are three total knighthoods, Red Alpha, Blue Bravo, and Yellow Charlie. Some of the knights from our family have taken part in the war, and some are left here to protect the empire.
“Milady, is there something wrong?” Oh, that’s right I am currently with John and Julie, the three of us are having an afternoon at the Academy’s abandoned garden. I am not supposed to call this abandoned garden anymore, since, for the past months, I directly asked the head directress to let me handle this garden and she gladly agreed to me. I thought that she will be cold towards me and will probably take longer to convince her, but she agrees easily. I wonder what makes her agreed like that?
“My apologies if I was late.”
“You’ve arrived in time, take a sit.” As I said many things have changed, Gin the serious and loyal servant of the crown prince is currently here with us sitting and having afternoon tea with us, whoever thought that this kind of group will be made.
“Gin, have you heard about what the rumors are circulating a while ago from the corridor?” John asked Gin while Julie and I are enjoying our time drinking and eating teas and snacks that she made, it is delicious no matter how many times I tasted it.
“Yes, actually, it is quite a concern for me as well. The faction, anti-imperialist, Viscount Mondeu was said that he had found his long-lost daughter.” Viscount Mondeu? I’ve heard that name before, wasn’t he who had an audience with the emperor before the first time I met the emperor at the garden? he was one of the noblemen that belong from the anti faction or against the imperial family, it was said that his family was been part of the Imperial family before, but due to grave mistake, they were demoted as a viscount, and half of their properties are confiscated, however, no one knows why and what reason that happen between the imperial family and the Mondeu family.
“Viscount Mondeu? Isn’t he whose family was a former part of the Imperial family?” Julie asked out of curiosity.
“Yes, he is.” Gin answered.
“Then, what makes you worried about the Viscount, even though he belongs from a different faction?” This time I throw away my question at them, then Gin pushed his glasses up a bit with his fingertips and becomes more serious than he is.
“This is the Viscount that we are talking about. All of the nobles know everything that happens to a single person from the high society, rumors circulated and gossips changes every time it reaches the ears of the people. However, one thing is for sure, that the Viscount never had a wife or been married to any nobles.” Gin said. It made us surprised.
“Then who is the daughter that he is referring to?” Julie asked.
“That…we don’t know, we are currently investigating about the viscount, however, it seems like the viscount has seen everything.” Gin replied. Viscount found his long-lost daughter even though he didn’t have a wife. Something is a bit off, but I do not know what is it.
“Tell me, is he planning to let his fake daughter enter the society and God knows he will make sure to make his daughter the mother of the land and marry his highness,” John said sarcastically while shrugging his shoulders and swaying his head left to right. However, he might not be wrong. I wonder who might that lady is. Then if that happens…I am will…my heart was throbbing when I realized what John said. Although, I must not felt this, why?
“his highness will never accept any lady except you, milady. So, you don’t have to worry about it, that is one of the reasons why his highness left me here.” I was confused about what Gin said but his words somehow comforting to me.
“His highness is not the type of person to cheat, you must know that, milady.” Eh? pfft! I even got more confused by Gin’s words, if he knows what he did to me before. However, I couldn’t disagree with Gin, the past few months that we’ve been seeing each other, even though we spoke just a little, he is kind of different from the prince I know in the game, but I shouldn’t be put my guards down, Adelia hasn’t shown herself, so there might still have that everything will be back as things should be. However, I already told myself that, no matter what happens, I must escape the fate that is destined for me.
After two days, Gin reported to us what is happening to the imperial palace and as we suspected, Viscount Mondeu made his move, he just returned to the Empire and went straight ahead to meet the Emperor, he requests an audience, however, he was not alone, he was said to be with his daughter that has yet no name to be mention. Right now, Gin was immediately called to the imperial palace to meet the viscount and his daughter alongside the emperor. John also went there with his father and brother, although they don’t have a good relationship, he must attend the meeting as his father instructed him. Before leaving the Academy, he seems to be worried about me.
“Milady, don’t ever talk to anyone if you find someone suspicious, don’t look back and just run, okay?”
“What do you mean? we are inside the Academy, nothing will happen to me, besides Julie is with me, the protection from this place is stronger than you think. I’ll be alright.”
“Just heed my advice, Milady. This is for your protection.”
How unusual to see John like that, that is what I said to him but, Julie is currently nowhere to be found, so I am walking along to the vast corridors of this library, alone. I couldn’t find Julie elsewhere, I wonder where she could be. She usually tells me where she will be going before leaving me, but then she left without saying a word.
While thinking about so many things and I gradually opening and reading books here and there, then suddenly I heard footsteps, I was sure that no one was there before I enter, the librarian was at the entrance hall, so it might not be him because he mustn’t leave his post without a substitute in charge. The footsteps that I am hearing are coming closer and closer until I heard nothing, a total silence. The footsteps were gone. Is this kind of joke? Or maybe I was just panicking too much?
“What are you doing here?” I heard a voice of a man in front of me, I was looking at him yet, my head is keeping looking down and my hands are sweating a lot. Relax, Selena…relax…
“Hey, did you hear me? I said what are doing here?” wait, that voice! I recognized that voice, when I realized that voice I immediately look at him and couldn’t believe what I am seeing right now. It’s been so long and couldn’t believe that I will meet him here.
“Yohan!” I exclaimed.
“Shhh! don’t be so loud, we are at the library, for God’s sake” He covers my mouth with his hands, for I called his name so loudly when he said that I should lower my voice, I nodded at him then he releases his hand into my mouth.
“What are you doing here?” I immediately asked him. While I asked him, he sat down on the chair that is in front of me.
“That is what I am asking you too, what are you doing here?”
“I was just reading books here since I’ve got free time,” I said but he seemed to be angry at something, he frowns.
“That’s not what I meant, I mean is why are doing here without your friends or guards?” the tone of his voice seemed to irritated, which I don’t know why? did something happen to him to feel so angry like that?
“Well, Gin and Sir John were currently at the Imperial Palace to discuss some matters with regards to Viscount Mondeu and his long-lost daughter, while Julie is nowhere to be found, I was wondering where she could be, she usually says where will she be going before leaving…” I was explaining things to him, but looking at him closely, he is getting even angrier, oh God, I don’t want to die at the hands of one of the male leads! Yohan, just tell me what makes you angry at me, and don’t just stare at me like that while your arms are cross with each other to your body.
“Are you…alright?” Ah? his tone turned calm.
“About what?” I asked.
“There’s a possibility that Viscount will make his daughter the wife of the Crown prince. Are you…” Oh, that look again, why do people worried about me about that matter?
“I’m fine. Our engagement will be nothing soon, the imperial family will soon better to find someone capable of being the mother of the empire, The Crown Prince doesn’t have feelings for me, so I don’t see any reason to stay any longer.” How many times do I need to repeat this? how many times should I convince them that everything between us is nothing?
“Until I come back, wait for me”
Ah! I suddenly remembered the words of the crown prince to me before he left. Why does he want me to wait for him? I mean, why do I even want to wait for him?
“I see, you are a very beautiful lady, this might be our second time that we meet, but I know, looking at your eyes, telling lies is not your thing,” Yohan said.
“you may be full of yourself but lying is not your thing”
why do I keep on remembering his words right now?
“Oh, before I leave, this is just a piece of advice, don’t get close to Viscount Mondeu’s daughter no matter what.” Yohan left me alone with a warning, but what does he mean by his words? ugh! things are getting more and more complicated! I was only trying to change few things here in the game but why does it make it even worse?! After I left the library, I met Julie along the way to the abandoned garden.
“Julie! where have you been? you make me so worried about you”
“Milady…the garden…”
“What’s wrong with the garden?” Julie loses her strength to her feet and fell, I look at her closely, her uniform is a mess, her glasses are broken and she got some scratches all over her body, what in the world?!
“Julie, who did this to you?”
“I am sorry, Milady!!! I’ve tried! I’ve tried my best to protect the flowers, the tree…everything but…but they destroy everything.” This is the second time I saw Julie cried like this, which means, something happens in the garden.
“Julie, tell me what happens,” She told me everything, the noble ladies that are in the different faction went to the garden and destroy everything inside of that place. No wonder, whenever we usually spend our time together with John and Gin, I noticed that there are some shadows are lurking outside the garden, so they must be it. I called upon guards that are station around the campus and asked them to bring Julie to the infirmary.
“Milady, where..are you going alone?”
“I will be fine, most importantly is to treat your wounds. Go now.” I said while placing my hand at Julie’s cheeks, then they left. Now, first things first, before reincarnated as Selena, she is already known as the queen of evil, her attitude is beyond your imagination, she doesn’t care, anybody. Then for this once, I will be the villainess that they miss. I went to the garden and saw that ladies are stepping and stomping and destroying the flowers that I taking care of every single day, the glass table where we spend our afternoon teas were smashed and into pieces, and the soil and grass of the tree was a total mess. The valuable things I cherished here in the garden are now destroyed, the moments that we have here…How unforgivable!
“Hey!” I shouted at them to call their attention, and they noticed me.
“Pfft! HAHAHA…Lady Ascania, it is a pleasure to see you here. What seems to be your business here? well, I am sorry to inform you that we are currently busy, so might as well go back to another time?” Marquess Krevor’s second daughter Astrezia Penelope Krevor, Baron Franchester’s eldest daughter, Prizillia Graham Franchester, Viscount Gregor’s second daughter Jenneth Rusta Gregor. All of them belong to families that are from a different faction, they were anti-imperialists they don’t usually support the emperor’s order but for the sake of power, they hide their intention. I saw these ladies at the last banquet where I and Yohan were attacked by unknown men. They were clinging around the crown prince at that time however the crown prince pays no attention to them and maybe they did this was because of…jealousy. How pathetic.
“With all due respect, we are busy, and meet us another time, lady Ascania.” That brat Prizillia said and smirked.
“If you don’t want to get hurt Lady Ascania we advise you to turn around and go out.” Next was this arrogant woman Jenneth. Ahhh, I’ve had enough. My blood boils and my anger is currently at the highest point of the highest mountain.
“Get out…”
“What-?”
“You three little rats, Stop what you were doing and get out of my sight,” I said while glaring at them, my fist is tightly clenched and ready to smack someone’s face.
“Lady Ascania, y-you are the one who should leave at this moment if you will stay even for more, then we have no choice but that girl, hmm what’s her name again? Oh! Julie! yes, that low-blood-born commoner, do you want us to finish her?” What?…
“You shouldn’t spend your time with her. They said that when you spend time with a low-blood-born commoner you will get infected by their diseases, yuck! so we suggest, spend your time with us. We, nobles should be spending ourselves together chit-chatting and do much stuff. And I must say that crown prince Calixious himself will crawl unto your feet and give you the love you wish-!” slap! before she finishes her words, I gave her a very strong slap! a very strong one that will last for a week or more. She fell on the ground and touches her cheeks where I slap her, then her two minions check on her. After she fell, she looks at me with an angry look in her eyes and mixed with a surprised expression on her face, while I was looking at her below me.
“Who think you are?” I said with my tone that sounds very angry. I don’t know what I look like right now, but that doesn’t matter, what matters is how to punish these women, I am the villainess of this game anyway, so what makes it different if I punish these kids a little. A bad child needs to be disciplined!
“W-what?”
“Lady Krevor, Lady Franchester, and Lady Gregor. This is a fair warning for three of you…don’t you ever hurt my people. If you are doing this because of jealousy then you are pathetic.” I said.
“P-pathetic?!” Lady Krevor exclaimed.
“Do you think doing this kind of thing makes the crown prince notice you? then, you are being delusional. Get out of this place at once or else, I will be assuming this as a challenge for taking the name of Ascania lightly and challenging the authority of my family! Seeing you and hearing you utter the name of his highness, who do you think you are?!” I said at them, Lady Krevor shoved the hands of two ladies beside her and stand up in front of me glared at me.
“Heh, don’t feel so comfortable on your seat, Lady Ascania because sooner or later someone will be taking your position and you wouldn’t act so high and arrogant.”She threatened me with her words, however, she didn’t know that I already know that so her threat is meaningless to me.
” Between us two, Lady Krevor, you are the one who shouldn’t be comfortable on your seat, I may have a connection with the crown prince but I didn’t use him or his name in any kind as if he is a toy that anybody can use, he is the crown prince of this empire and I am the daughter of the duke Ascania! challenging our status is how brazen of you” Challenging a noble that holds higher status than her family is a brave thing. As if they are asking for a death wish. I glared at her straight into her eyes, she seemed to remember her place since she is shaking in front of me even the two ladies back at her.
“I admire your braveness, however ladies you must know which way the wind is blowing because if not a bolt from the blue might happen. In just a blink of an eye. Get out of this place and never come back.” I gave them a warning. After what I said they run off as fast as they can to get out here after hearing my warning.
Because of me…Julie got hurt, this place is ruined, the flowers and trees are messed up. I felt my knees become weak, all of my strength, I seemed to used everything. I suddenly fell on the ground in a sitting position. Hearing them saying that my position as the crown prince fiancé is will taken by someone…I thought I was okay about it, That is what I was hoping for, I wish him to be with someone who deserves him even more than me, then why do I feel like this? Is that how I…can be replaced easily? how can my life from the past be similar to my life this time? I was looking at the ground then suddenly a teardrop on my eyes, I didn’t notice, I was already crying, I hold my chest so tight as if it aches more than ever. I seemed to bottle up my frustration and tried to be fine with what is happening right now and avoid being scared. I am…scared? scared of what? what I am scared of?
After what happened, John and Yohan came to the garden and saw me crying on the ground, they immediately came into me and asked if I am okay, they saw how bad the look of the garden right now.
“Milady! Are you hurt? are you alright!?” John exclaimed.
“Was it the three ladies?” Yohan suspected but he is not wrong though, but they are not the ones who made me cry. they seem to encounter the three ladies out of the garden when they came here.
“Those three?! wait here! I’ll teach those rats some lessons!” I grabbed the sleeves of John to stop him from doing unnecessary things that might bring an uproar at the high society, I don’t want to bring him any problems when he comes back.
“I’ll be taking you to the infirmary, hey monkey kid, you take care of things here.” Yohan lift me and carry me like a princess, I was shocked when he did that, I told him that I am fine and I can walk on my own but still he insists. John was against it but he gave in to Yohan, while looking at me, I hide my face because I am pretty sure that my eyes are swollen because I cried so hard. I didn’t know that they are close friends. Then Yohan and I left the garden to John and went straightway to the infirmary. Still, what bothers me is that what is Yohan doing here at the Academy?
“Y-yohan, you know that I am heavy, so you could put me down and…”
“Yes, you are so heavy so please reduce in eating sweets and try to eat more fruits.” Ugh! h-how can he say that to a lady like me?! how rude! this rude magician!
“well, sorry about that! hmph!” I turned to the other side and crossed my arms while pouting, I am a little mad at him.
“Thank God you’re okay.” He spoke with a gentle manner. I look at him with confusion
“What do you…”
“always keep your head up, Selena. Looking down at your past won’t do anything to you, if people saw your weakness, they will use it against you and eventually make you suffer.” I was amazed at what Yohan is currently saying, he is encouraging me to boost my confidence. He is right. I was afraid about my past, I was afraid to make the same mistake but I was glad to hear those words from Yohan.
“Heh, your past, present, and future will never change because it is you.” Yohan stopped walking and put me down, I stand in front of him and I never thought that he would grow so tall like this, I mean it’s not so long since we last met, I remember that I was taller than him. same goes for John and Gin, Is this what they call growing spurt? Yohan is looking at me so seriously, he put his hands to both my left and right side of my face, wondering what he will be going to do, and seemed like his face is coming closer and closer to mine, wait! I closed my eyes and something bumped into my forehead, I opened my eyes and Yohan’s forehead landed on my forehead.
“Y-yohan?”
“Relax, I was just trying to lift your spirit.” After he said that, my body seemed like become light as a feather. Did Yohan use his magic on me? I noticed that I was having sores all over my body because I was busy lately, he must have noticed my posture.
“Do you feel good?”
“Yeah, thank you so much. I feel like I am alive again” I gave him my gratitude and smiled, then in just a short amount of time he also smiled back at me, I was surprised, I never thought that the cold, serious, and genius magician could smile like that.
“Y-you smiled…WAHH! Yohan you smiled!”
“It must be your imagination”
“what? no, it isn’t! I saw you smile, can you smile one more time?” I pleaded. It is a rare sight to see him smile like that
“There must be wrong with your eyes and brains, so we must go the infirmary to let the doctor in charge take a look at you.” Yohan teases me even more. It didn’t take so long we arrived at the infirmary and saw Julie get bandages on her legs and arms, I immediately asked her if she is alright then she hugged me then cried in my arms.
“Milady!!! are you alright?! I don’t know what will happen if something bad happens to you, did those witches hurt you?! if they did, I will take them on and charge on their room!” Oh gosh!
“gosh, Julie, instead of worrying about me, look at yourself, you got bruises and scars, look even in your pretty face, what did you do that? you must have called the guards to stop them” I said to Julie.
“B-because they were destroying the teas and biscuits that I made especially for you when they came, I thought that it was you, then they suddenly order me to leave. I knew that they were up to something, so I refuse to leave when they got angry at me they throw away the teacups, the pots, and the biscuits that I bake last night. Then they started to push me and kick me all over my body and calling me low-blood. I was not angry at them when they called me low-blood, but that is a fact, I am born as a commoner and poor among the poorest that was only given a chance to study here at the academy. But what makes me angry and fight them as they say something bad about you that you will be easily replaced and your position as the crown prince’s fiancé won’t be last and you are a snake and villain. So I fought back, I return their punches and kicks on me! ” She proudly said her last sentence even though looking like she will be finished after one more punch and kick. Seriously this kid.
“If you excuse me, the patient needs time to rest, is there anything I could help you Milady, Lady Ascania?” The doctor in charge has arrived.
“I’m fine, I was just checking my friend, could you please help her to treat her wounds?” I asked the doctor to make sure Julie will be treated and said to Julie that she needs to rest, I make sure that she doesn’t need to worry about those ladies who hurt her. Yohan and I went outside and while was walking, John already came to see us.
“John?”
“How are you? is there anything hurt? did the doctor say that you are fine? did you get bruises or scars or anything?”
“I am fine, the one who got hurt the most was Julie, those ladies did something unforgivable to her…”
“what?! Julie?! how was she?”
“Relax, monkey, she is currently taking a rest at the infirmary. The doctor asked us to leave her alone for a moment, besides what are you doing here? what about the garden?” Their glares at each other are even far worse since they last met. They keep on brawling like cats and dogs nonstop.
“what about you? aren’t you supposed to be here? this is the academy, not the tower for a magician, you must be busy so better off you go, mister magician.” John sarcastically said at Yohan, I was trying to calm them both but it seems impossible when they act like children at their age.
“Heh! How arrogant for a son of a nobleman, why don’t you just go home to your father and be his puppet.” Yohan even makes everything worse! ugh! could the both of you stop?! it is hard for me you know!
“What..did you said?!” John angrily said to Yohan, John pulled Yohan’s collar and glared at him, oh no!
“I think you must hold on your horses, it will be bad for a student to punch his teacher in his face,” Yohan said…wait what? teacher…?
“Yeah, I will punch you in your face and destroy you-! wait what did you say?”
“I am your new teacher. A pleasure to meet you, my students, hope we have a wonderful year together.” Wha-! What?! Yohan is going to be our…teacher?!
