【Chapter 117】

The next morning. In front of the portal at Croste Ducal Castle.

“This is cheating! Why does only Kail get to come along! I want to watch Dandelion’s class too!”

Lucas’s angry shout echoed through the sky.

Regardless, Father calmly tied the ribbon strings on my clothes and stood up from his seat.

“Keep a close watch on Kail. He’s a person of interest these days.”

“Yes. I’ll keep that in mind.”

Another routine trip to school today as always.

If there was anything special, it was that Kail and Nox were accompanying us.

‘Father. I think I need to bring Kail to the Masamo gathering. There’s something between me and Kail.’

Last night.

I ran to Father, who was working late into the night, and told him everything that had happened.

How I almost fainted while holding hands with Kail.

That I could communicate with Bibi Grandmother, who was a monster.

And that she said I smelled like a monster.

‘That’s concerning.’

‘Interesting, no, concerning.’

Father looked at me with a thoughtful gaze, and Nox nodded with what seemed like an excited expression.

That’s right.

Kail wasn’t going to the Royal Palace to play with me.

Strictly speaking, he was going to be ‘experimented on’ by the Masamo members who were obsessed with monsters.

But this innocent lamb, who knew nothing, triumphantly placed his hands on his hips and declared.

“Aisha is my protector! I need special protection, so I can go!”

And Lucas, who was the only one unaware of this fact, waved his clenched fists.

“Damn it. I want to be Aisha’s protector. So take me too. Take me too-!”

“What are you going to the Royal Palace for? Do you know what might happen to you there?”

Callipus frowned as if tired.

Then Lucas immediately asked back with a bewildered expression.

“Huh? I’m going to take magic lessons! I’m going to take classes with Dandelion too!”

“Ahem. Poor Lucas hyung. Only I can take classes with Aisha.”

Kail proudly raised one corner of his mouth and provoked him.

Lucas, who had been trembling with anger, rushed at him.

“Eeek-!”

Or rather, he tried to rush at him.

“Activate the portal quickly.”

Because Callipus ordered the portal to be activated before it could turn into a fight.

Whirring-

And so, amid the blue light and whitening vision, Lucas’s scream of “I won’t let you get away with this!” faintly faded away.

“Kail.”

“What?”

“…Never mind. Forget it.”

I sighed and shook my head.

I wanted to let Kail be happy while he still knew nothing.

A moment later.

After arriving at the Royal Palace through the portal, we immediately entered the classroom where magic lessons were conducted.

“I’ll come to escort you when class is over. I’ll be waiting in the room next to the classroom, so please call me immediately if there are any problems.”

“Yes-.”

Nox disappeared, and Kail and I took seats in one corner of the classroom.

The gazes of other children in the classroom focused on us.

“Oh, it’s Lady Aisha. She’s wearing another pretty dress today.”

“Who’s that boy who came with her? He’s really pretty.”

It had already been a month since classes started.

When magic education, which had been limited to nobles, was allowed for everyone, a small number of commoner children with talent flocked in.

And naturally, they became my classmates… but they couldn’t quite approach me.

“Wow. Lady Aisha sat down in her chair.”

“She sits like a hero today too.”

Especially the commoners were full of fantasies about the Croste Ducal Family.

“Sh-she picked up her pen-!”

“She must be preparing to review before class again today-!”

“As expected of the Croste Ducal Family…!”

They looked at me with admiring eyes even when I did the smallest action.

I was also afraid of shattering these innocent kingdom citizens’ fantasies, so I couldn’t make friends easily.

‘If I carelessly mingle with those kids and the dignity of the Croste Ducal Family disappears…’

That’s when it happened.

“Aisha, don’t you have friends?”

Suddenly, Kail threw a direct question.

Ouch.

When the innocent question without malice struck like an arrow, I felt a stinging pain. I pouted my lips and answered.

“I have friends. Friends that Kail doesn’t know.”

“…Friends I don’t know?”

“Yeah.”

I don’t have any, but let’s pretend I do. Imaginary friends.

Then his round eyes narrowed-

“Who is it?”

Kail suddenly stood up from his seat and thrust his face toward me.

A snow-white face that filled my vision.

Startled by his sudden action, I pulled my head back.

‘Wh-what…’

I was momentarily surprised because the distance was too close.

And though I was used to it normally and didn’t notice-

“Who is it? Who’s this friend I don’t know? I only have you as a friend.”

Through the white hair covering his forehead, suspicious cat-like eyes flashed.

Despite his young age, his features were quite defined, and his skin was unrealistically pale.

Seeing Kail sitting among the classroom children, I suddenly realized.

He’s handsome for a kid.

‘Tsk.’

“Ah, I don’t know-!”

I, who had been falling into random thoughts, stopped my reverie and pushed his chest away.

I thought he would resist with force, but Kail was pushed back quite obediently and sat in the seat next to me, pouting his lips.

That’s when it happened.

“There are no late students today either. Shall we start class?”

When the teacher conducting the magic lesson entered, the children shouted “Yes-!” and sat in their seats.

Since permission had been obtained in advance from His Majesty King Grace regarding Kail, the teacher just smiled upon confirming him and said nothing.

“A friend I don’t know. I’ll find out who it is.”

Regardless, Kail, who still hadn’t given up, whispered beside me.

‘Oh my. He came here today to face some ordeal, and in the midst of that, he’s going to find my imaginary friend?’

Stupid Kail.

I also glared at him with triangular eyes, feeling unnecessarily annoyed.

Amid the silent war of nerves, the magic lesson began like that.

“Now, since it’s been a month of classes today, we’re going to review what we learned at the beginning. First, what did we say magi was?”

Someone raised their hand and answered the teacher’s question.

“Magi is the primordial energy that all living beings possess!”

“That’s right. We said that magi is a power that all living creatures have, didn’t we?”

“Yes!”

“Then animals have magi, and humans have it too, right?”

When the teacher asked back with education at the children’s eye level, the bright-eyed children nodded their heads.

“Then what do we call animals that are born with magi above a certain level and have strong power?”

“Monsters!”

“Really big creatures!”

“Then what about people who are born with magi above a certain level?”

“They have the qualifications to become mages!”

“People like us!”

Animals born with a lot of magi become monsters, people born with a lot of magi become mages.

Even though I already knew this content, I diligently wrote down what the teacher said.

Review is the shortcut to being the king of studying!

“Oh.”

Then I suddenly stopped and opened my mouth in a triangle shape.

“I was supposed to write ‘magic’ but I wrote it wrong… I don’t have any other paper…”

Just as I was frozen and fidgeting for a moment.

“Lady. Would you like me to give you new paper if you made a mistake?”

The young boy sitting next to me smiled carefully and handed me a sheet of paper.

Awesome.

“Thanks. I’ll use it well and lend you some next time too.”

When I received the new paper and smiled brightly at the young boy—

“…Y-yes.”

The young boy who had been looking at me silently for a moment smiled with his earlobes turning red.

Why are his ears turning red? Could it be… is this what they call abuse of aristocratic power?

To be able to make someone’s earlobes turn red with just one word.

‘Hmm. Being a noble is lonely.’

Just as I swallowed my bitter feelings and started taking notes again.

“Is that guy that friend?”

Kail suddenly poked his face out next to me and whispered.

“Ah, you scared me… Kail, what are you doing?”

“Is that guy the friend I don’t know?”

Kail, who asked that, was looking at the young boy. With very glaring eyes at that.

Perhaps because he was still young but a Maein, Kail’s gaze naturally contained killing intent.

“Hi, hiik.”

The frightened young boy desperately turned his head away and trembled.

‘Won’t you go away?’

‘No. I’m your friend. I won’t let another kid steal you away.’

‘What are you talking about? He just lent me paper.’

‘Why did Aisha accept it? Are you betraying me for one sheet of paper?’

‘How is that betrayal!’

“Teacher. But what happens if a person has too much magi in their body?”

“Oh my. That’s a good question.”

Just then, a student asked a question, and the teacher smiled brightly and turned toward them.

We continued our bickering quietly, avoiding the teacher’s gaze.

“Such cases are very rare, but if magi accumulates fully in a person’s body, it’s a big problem. Especially if magi suddenly flows into the body…”

‘Go away!’

‘I won’t go. I’m going to stick right next to Aisha. Aisha is mine.’

“Your head spins dizzily, you feel nauseous…”

‘Kail, if you keep doing this, I’ll make you stand in the corner again after class!’

‘What did I do wrong!’

“In an instant, it goes pop and bursts. You suddenly collapse.”

At the same time as the teacher’s answer, the moment I angrily grabbed his wrist.

“…!”

Thud—

“Aisha…?”

My head felt dizzy once again, and I collapsed right onto the floor with a thud.

“Aisha!”

I heard Kail’s voice calling me, but I had already lost consciousness.
