"So this is the academy?" I gasped as I stare at the huge building from the window of the carriage. "It's almost as big as the Emerald Palace."

Ijekiel, who is sitting across me chuckled. "Yeah, I was also shocked at first."

"Will you also give me a small tour of the school?" I asked, curious and excited as I turned to face him.

"If you want to," Ijekiel shrugged. He moved his head to the window to where the coachman is and told him to drive to the academy.

"Yay!" I cheered, clapping my hands in excitement. "I can't wait to see your school Ijekiel!"

"I'm sure that you're gonna like it there."

I nodded in agreement then turned back to the window and watched our carriage approaching the academy. "By the way, I also wanted to meet Kiel's friends here."

"You can meet them if you want. Though I don't know if they're in the academy," Ijekiel said.

"Is that so. I hope that I can meet them."

Not long after, we finally arrived in the academy. Ijekiel gave me a necklace to hide my identity and also a box.

"What's this?" I asked, confused.

"Our uniform, so that you can feel the life of a student," Ijekiel said, as he put on his necklace. "You can change there." He pointed to a changing room for the girls. "I'll be waiting here."

"Okay!" I nodded, excited to open the box to see their uniform. I ran towards the changing room and gasped as I see what's inside.

Is this even a changing room?!!

The room is almost the size of a ball room. The stalls has it's own locker, a rack for clothes and a huge mirror. And it has a huge chandelier at the middle of the ceiling! What kind of changing room is this.

I shook my head to stop myself from gaping at the room and went in a stall to change my clothes. I put down the box on a table which is right beside the rack and opened it.

My eyes widened in surprise as I saw the uniform. It was a white long sleeved shirt with a gold and blue blazer and a red tie. For the bottom, it was a blue ruffly skirt that comes down to my knees with a white peticoat. It also came up with a blue bonnet for the head. It looks to cute!!

I lastly put on my socks and shoes and I'm good to go! I turned around to see myself in the mirror to see if it looks good on me and to my surprise, it did suit me! If I were a student in this school, I might be the popular girl.

I'm just kidding, hehe.

I put my clothes in the box and walked out of the room to go back to Ijekiel. I ran towards him excitedly and tapped his shoulder.

He turned around and his eyes widened as he saw me. "Woah.."

"Do I look good?" I asked, giving myself a twirl.

"Y-You look great!" Ijekiel stuttered, coughing as he avoided eye contact.

"Thanks!" I blushed, smiling. "Shall we go inside! And also, the changing room is so huge!!"

"I know right?" Ijekiel laughed, nodding. "I wonder why they made it so big."

"I was asking myself that too!"

"This is just the start, wait until you see the whole school," Ijekiel said with a wink. "Shall we, m'lady?"

"We shall," I nodded, laughing.

-

I. Am. Shookt.

This school is a whole-ass castle.. no it's more than a castle.

I

mean, how could a classroom be as big as my private library?! And every class has it's own personal garden and training field!! And don't get me started with the cafeteria food!!

"I envy you Kiel," I said as I pouted. "Your school is so huge."

"Well, you own a castle for yourself." Ijekiel shrugged. "Yours is more cooler."

I scoffed rolling my eyes. "Can we eat at the cafeteria later?!" I asked with beaming eyes.

Ijekiel chuckled. "Sure. If you want to."

"Yay!!" I squealed in excitement. "I wonder if they have my favorite cake there?"

"I'm sure that they have it. There's nothing that the chefs can't cook," Ijekiel said confidently, making me scoff.

"Really you. You're so confident with your school."

"Who wouldn't?"

"I hate to admit but you're right."

We're on our way back to the cafeteria for lunch, as we walk in, I still can't help but admire the beautiful recruiter designs of the room. It was a room 2 times more huge than a normal cafeteria. At the center is where the foods are, there are desserts section, salad section, appetizers, etc. anything you want!!

I felt my small bonnet is slowly starting to loose, so I turned to Ijekiel and told him that I'll be going to the bathroom to arrange my bonnet.

"I'll be back in a hurry!"

"Okay!"

On my way to the nearest bathroom, I accidentally bumped into someone and dropped their things on the floor. I panicked and helped the student pick their books up.

"I'm so sorry!! I was in a hurry!!" I apologized as I gave them their books back.

"Princess?"

My eyes widened as I heard what the student called me. I look up to see the person and it's the least person that I wanted to see.

Yes, it was Lucas.

"What are you doing here, princess?" He asked, confused as he accepted the books that I gave him back. "And you're wearing our uniform?" He blinked, staring at me from head to toe. "Not gonna lie, it looks good on you."

I felt my cheeks heat up and look away from his smirking face. "I'm here with Ijekiel. And also, how did you found out that it was me, I'm wearing a magic stone to hide my identity."

"Magic stones can't trick me that easily," Lucas said with a scoff. "And Ijekiel is with you, where is he?"

"He's at the cafeteria," I replied.

"Oh.. right, he was giving you a tour.." He nodded. "But the empress is not with you."

"I planned that I would hang out with Kiel in the morning then with my mom in the afternoon. Why are you so curious?"

"Is it bad to be curious?"

"..... no?"

Lucas smirked in triumph, making me glare at him deadly.

I really hate this guy.

"And I love you too." His voice echoed back in my head, making be blush furiously.

"Oh, your bonnet is about to fall off," Lucas pointed out.

"Ah! I have to go!" I held my bonnet up and was about to run towards the bathroom to arrange my bonnet up but Lucas stopped me, earning a gasp from the other students.

What are they gasping at???

"What is it?!" I asked, annoyed.

He didn't answered and pulled me close to him. My heart starts to beat loudly and my cheeks began to heat back up again as I felt his gentle touch on my hair.

"Stay still," He muttered. "I'll fix it for you."

I did as what I told, freezing on my spot nervously. I noticed that some students were staring at us, some are glaring, some are admiring.

Yah! Mind your own business!!

As Lucas were focused on arranging my bonnet, I started to make a small conversation to lose my awkwardness. "So you're a student here.. I didn't know.."

"Yeah, I was studying for something to prevent something from happening," Lucas muttered. "Geez, why is this so hard to put this on."

I let out a chuckle. "It's not that hard."

"Yeah, sure."

"Though you look very intelligent, I never thought that you still have more stuffs to learn," I said.

Lucas hummed, he looked so focused on putting my bonnet up.

I tried to peek at him and stare at his face. I felt my heart starts to beat more than it already was as I continue to stare at his handsome features.

Oh, he has a beauty mark under his eye. I thought.

"Take a picture, it'll last longer."

"Huh?" I blinked out of reality and found Lucas smirking down at me. He's taller than me too.

I blushed in embarrassment and immediately moved away from him. "I-I was just..." I tried to make up an excuse but my mind went blank.

Lucas chuckled as he watched me having a hard time. I glared at him, my cheeks are still burning red. "Why are you laughing at me?!" I yelled at him, causing more students to stare at us.

"Wait.. Lucas has a girlfriend???"

"I didn't know."

"Did they fight??"

"Not gonna lie, they looked good together."

I heard some whispers from them, making me blush more and hid my face from them.

"They thought that were dating," Lucas whispered at me.

"S-Shut up.." I squirmed.

"Here, let me take you back to Kiel."

"Huh-?"

Lucas put his arm around me and hid me in his blazer. I heard some beating sound in me as I caught a whiff of his scent.

"What are you looking at?" Lucas said coldly at the students, I can tell that he's giving them a death glare right now. "Mind your own business."

And with that, Lucas and I left with his arms still wrapped around me.

"You're welcome, princess," He whispered.
