Chapter 233

Party Hall.

In the massive hall that accommodated over 300 students and around 50 faculty members, and the beautiful iris garden connected to it, the gathered students looked around with excited expressions.

Odis Academy, the most prestigious academy not just on the continent but in the world, guaranteed a path to success paved with gold just by being enrolled.

In the eyes of the new students who had safely secured their place on this path to success, unprecedented desires were boiling.

“Sandra, have you decided on a mentor?”

“I’m not sure if they’ll accept me, but I do have someone in mind.”

“The famous upperclassmen are already swarmed with new students. We should make our move soon too, shouldn’t we?”

The new students weigh the names of upperclassmen, their accumulated achievements, and family backgrounds before requesting brotherhood bonds.

It was a famous tale how someone from a humble viscount family became prime minister of a nation through connections made at Odis Academy, and how someone with a father holding only a hereditary title received the position of grand general after becoming sworn brothers with a prince.

“Miss Leblaine and Miss Emeline are truly enviable. Especially Miss Emeline. She’s a commoner, isn’t she? How wonderful that she can request mentorship from the Elysiano Class upperclassmen.”

“It’s customary that students without mentor selection priority can’t request mentorship from those in Elysiano Class. It’s truly enviable.”

“Who do you think Miss Emeline will choose? Surely one of the Dubbled sons? Since she’s close friends with his younger sister, he wouldn’t easily refuse.”

“There are also the Empire’s princes, aren’t there?”

“Didn’t you know? Lord Andre has already chosen his mentee. The problem is with Prince Adrian…”

The orange-haired woman adjusted her glass and whispered to Sandra.

“Is there anyone in this school who doesn’t know he’s the prince backed by the shrine? There are already people saying his choice will be the shrine’s choice. Who do you think he’ll choose? Between Mina and Miss Leblaine.”

“Miss Mina can’t request a mentor though.”

“But Prince Adrian could choose her. Even if new students can’t request mentorship from Elysiano Class, those in Elysiano Class can make their own choices.”

The orange-haired woman giggled and whispered.

“Tonight will be interesting. Really.”

Just then, people’s gazes gathered toward the entrance.

Mina entered the hall wearing an elegant empire dress with delicate silver embroidery below the chest, her hair braided with flowers.

“Mina.”

Sandra, the orange-haired woman, and Palpati approached her.

“Your dress is very beautiful.”

“It’s not a trendy dress, but… it feels rather tasteful because it’s classic.”

When Sandra and Palpati spoke in turn, Mina smiled brightly.

“Really? Allen helped me.”

“Ah, of course. It must have been difficult to prepare a dress. I should have been more considerate… I’m sorry.”

“Oh Sandra. Even just the thought is appreciated.”

All eyes in the hall focused on Mina.

The new students on the first floor, the upperclassmen occupying the second floor, and even the faculty members looked at Mina and whispered.

“The second Child of Fate with divine power surpassing the Pope…”

“I thought she’d be like a wild beast since she’s from another world, but she’s different from what I expected.”

“Does anyone know who the second Child of Fate chose as her sworn sibling?”

Among those chattering, some came down the stairs and approached Mina.

“My goodness. The seniors are coming down to the first floor? This new Child of Fate must be quite remarkable.”

“Look over there. It’s the Elysiano Class.”

The Elysianos who occupied the most luxurious section of the second floor leaned against the railing and gazed down at Mina.

A man with dark bronze skin swirled his champagne glass and smirked, lifting the corner of his mouth.

“Who do you think the new Child of Fate will choose? Juliet, have you heard anything?”

“Where would I have time to hear such things? Just being here is such a waste of time I could die. Ah, damn it!”

“If you’ve received an Elysiano Class personal laboratory, personal dormitory mansion with servants, and even research funding, you should at least compromise this much. Anyway, hasn’t our second Young Master of Dubbled, who’s fastest with information, heard anything yet?”

Henri, who had been sitting in one corner of the sofa, snapped his book shut and said.

“Who knows.”

“The youngest Young Master hasn’t heard anything either?”

Isaac, who had been stirring his glass with a gloomy expression beside Henri, said coldly.

“Don’t mess with me. Not if you don’t want to die.”

“What’s this? Why are the Dubbled Young Masters in such low spirits today?”

Then the platinum-haired twin brothers, who were drunk and leaning against each other, spoke.

“Their younger sister rejected the dress.”

“Rejected it.”

“They’re angry over just that.”

“Angry over that.”

“Crazy bastards.”

“Crazy bastards.”

The bronze-skinned man chuckled.

“So unlike them to spend all day picking out dresses and accessories. I knew it would happen. Even a four-year-old girl would reject a dress with all that pink and ribbons hanging off it.”

“Pink suits the little one! Do you know how adorable she looks with ribbons?!”

The twin brothers muttered “Crazy bastard” once again.

That’s when it happened.

The hall became noisy once more, and the bronze-skinned man smirked again.

“In my opinion, black suits that younger sister much better.”

Leblaine appeared in the hall wearing an all-black bell dress densely decorated with ornate gold thread and jewels from the hem up.

Leblaine in her extravagant dress and Mina in her modest attire contrasted like black and white.

“That’s Sharon’s dress.”

When someone on the first floor spoke, a black-haired woman who had approached the bronze-skinned man shouted.

“That’s the diamond necklace from Hope Trading Company that was supposedly the most expensive! How did she get it when even I couldn’t?”

At those words, the hall stirred once again.

“A necklace that even the Princess of Gahong couldn’t obtain?”

“Why are you so surprised? She’s Lady Dubbled. That Dubbled family that’s said to possess the most wealth on the continent.”

“That’s right. Leblaine is from ‘that’ Dubbled family…”

The first Child of Fate, who had been overshadowed by the appearance of the second Child of Fate, emerged back to the surface.

“Hello, Leblaine. You look very beautiful today—”

“I pay my respects to Your Highness.”

“Huh?”

“You’d better learn proper etiquette, Mina.”

The hall fell silent as black and white gazes met in the air.

* * *

Emeline, who had entered the hall with me, poked my waist.

“Isn’t that too sharp when all eyes are already focused on you and Mina? Weren’t you worried they’d excitedly chatter about a war between the Children of Fate?”

“I was before, but not now.”

I took a step and looked at Emeline with a wicked smile.

“Now that I know about the mentor system, the more attention focused on us, the better.”

“What do you mean?”

“Sorry to Mina, but this mentor selection is a fight between that child and me. Anyone would want to have a Child of Fate as their sworn sibling. If I’m going to fight regardless of my will, I might as well win since it’s already started.”

“….”

“Now, look. The person they want to take in as a sworn sibling doesn’t know etiquette. Then what?”

“They might receive penalty points together?”

“Ah, the first Child of Fate reeks of money. She reeks of money and is arrogant too. What would they think then?”

“They’d think she’s arrogant because she’s Lady Dubbled after all.”

“After that, they’d think this: ‘Ah, Dubbled? Come to think of it, there were Dubbled Young Masters in Elysiano Class too.'”

“Seniors who want to hold Mina’s hand won’t appear because they’d be watching your mood.”

“If Mina can’t get a proper mentor like this, rumors will spread inside and outside the school. As expected, the first Child of Fate is better than the second.”

“Then the shrine’s plan to use Mina to make you into an obedient dog would go up in smoke?”

Emeline giggled and continued.

“You’re really a rotten child.”

“Thanks for the compliment.”

Emeline and I looked at each other and smiled wickedly.

That’s when it happened.

“Good evening, Miss Leblaine. I’m Denver, a third-year. If it’s alright with you, I’d like to discuss the mentor selection with you.”

“No. Please talk with me. I’m Francois, a fourth-year.”

Look. Already, seniors who thought of ‘Lady Dubbled’ were coming to find me.

Meanwhile, only freshmen were approaching Mina’s side.

Rather than being used by someone, I would become someone who uses others.

‘I won’t be fooled like in my past life.’

Leblaine, who believed in good and justice, was offered to the temple, and what remained here was the wicked Lady Dubbled.

But an unexpected problem arose.

“No man approaches within 3 kilometers of my younger sister. Get lost!”

“Please step aside.”

…The thugs had appeared again.

The seniors who had rushed in like a tide receded like an ebb. Flustered, I grabbed my brothers’ jackets and said.

“Why are you doing this? I need to decide on sworn siblings!”

“Then decide, Leblaine.”

“Alright, it’s decided. Me.”

“No, me.”

Laughter erupted among the faculty, and my face turned red.

‘I was trying to be the dignified Lady Dubbled, but it’s all ruined.’

It was maddening and infuriating.

The two of them stuck close to me, glaring at the men with menacing expressions, causing people around me to completely disappear.

“Are you really going to do this?”

“Hey, Little One. Do you know how annoying sworn brothers are? If we get any assignments, we have to stick together in a secret room. How does it look to be stuck with a perverted guy?”

“I wouldn’t choose a pervert!”

“Try losing even one horse during an assignment. Then you’d have to hold onto a guy’s waist and ride together… Damn it!”

Isaac seemed to be imagining it and burst out in frustration, giving me a throbbing headache.

That’s when it happened.

“It seems Miss Leblaine can’t make use of her priority rights?”

The bronze-skinned man I had seen in the Elysiano Class conference room last time approached, leading other people from the class.

“I wish for the noble’s well-being. Is this the proper way to show courtesy?”

He said with a sly smile. From the first time I saw him, I thought he seemed quite cunning.

“I’m Jin.”

“Get lost.”

When I narrowed my eyes at Isaac’s words and said “Older Brother,” Isaac clicked his tongue and introduced him.

“Heir to the chief of the Atar Tribe.”

Behind the bronze-skinned man, a woman with jet-black hair suddenly poked her face forward.

“How did you get that necklace? I couldn’t get one. Oh, I’m Honghae. Ryu Honghae.”

“Princess of Gahong.”

This time, platinum-haired twins suddenly poked their faces toward me and sniffed.

“It’s not a bad person’s smell. But there’s a mischievous scent.”

“There’s a smell!”

Isaac pushed away their faces and shouted angrily.

“Twin Princes of Waynes! East and West, if you stick your snouts in one more time, I’ll cut your throats.”

So these are the princes of Waynes, the beastman nation. The two have wolf ears on top of their heads.

“Isaac, you’re annoying.”

“Annoying.”

And the person I see at the very back of them…

‘Good heavens.’

I covered my mouth and gaped.

Why is he here!
