Chapter 50 - Meeting With The Character~ (1)

***

EVELYN heard a young man's voice which she is familiar with it.

"Lady Evelyn!!!"

'Wait... I think I know this voice..."

She turns her head, his knight, Gab, followed her stare and what they saw was the Crown Prince calling from afar and walking in their direction.

"What the hell..." Evelyn mumbled.

"Do you need me to step in, Eve?" Gab inquired.

"No... it's alright. Sigh~" she takes a deep breath to let her frustration out.

'I've just been here for a couple of hours and two main characters appeared! Great!' She complains inwardly.

The Crown Prince stop his tracks in front of Evelyn and he smiled playfully. Evelyn greeted her. It's customary for the nobles to greet first the higher in position.

"Greetings, Crown Prince. May the sun guides your path."

"Rise, Lady Evelyn..."

"Thank you..."

She looked up to see the Crown Prince smiling again.

'Why is he looking at me like that? It's uncomfortable...'

Before she begins to feel nauseous at the unusual stare of the Crown Prince, she asks the reason why.

"Is there something wrong, your highness?"

"Evelyn, I told you... you don't need to call me with formality."

Evelyn flinched at the Crown Prince's call without the title.

'He's been doing that since the past year... even though I tried to refute him so many times to call me formally...' Evelyn nag Edickart at her head.

"I insist... your highness."

"You're really stubborn..."

'You're the stubborn one!'

The Crown Prince looked at Gab scrutinizing him and then he returned his stare to Evelyn and he smiled again.

Gab who saw the Crown Prince's action narrows his eyes but he let it go eventually.

"Tomorrow is the exam... Did you choose what department you want to learn?" Edickart asks, seemingly interested in Evelyn's choice.

"...Can I ask what his highness has taken up?"

"Why...? You're going to enroll in my department?"

At his word, he's eyes glisten with anticipation.

'What does he want from me...'

"Then... I'll tell you what department I'm in."

'Please... not the sportsmanship department or magic... No, it's okay if he's in the magic department. There are 4 branches and his attribute is fire so that's fine...' She silently begs. 

Evelyn wants to avoid the main characters especially the Crown Prince. She was sure that the heroine, Elise, will be beside Edickart sooner or later.

She doesn't want to risk to be there and become a villainess that the story wants.

"I'm in the Knights department and magic department."

'phew~ thank God it's not the sportsmanship department.'

Evelyn sighs a relief.

"Is that so..." Evelyn replied.

The lack of enthusiasm in her voice made Edickart stare at her for a long time. He met the sunset eyes of Evelyn and his emerald eyes start to stare at her mysteriously. He starts to wonder when did the brat he knows grown up and now become a beautiful Lady.

Evelyn stared at him innocently that made the Crown Prince blink simultaneously.

"Why not just accept becoming my official fiancee, Evelyn?" Edickart asks in his now manly voice that harmoniously sweeps in Evelyn's ear.

She was memorized for a moment but eventually brought back from her stupor.

Evelyn sighs... He has been asking her every time they met that Evelyn should accept the proposal but what she always answers is...

"I have to decline your highness... As I've said since last year, I don't want to become a Crown Princess and your fiancee..."

"Hmm~ that's a pity... But if ever you change your mind..."

Before he finished his statement, Evelyn butt in.

"I won't change my mind, your highness... It would be better if you start to get to know the other candidates for your highness fiancee."

". . ."

Edickart just stays silent and Evelyn who is having trouble escaping his gaze eventually broke the silence.

"Your highness, may I ask why did you call for me?"

"Oh, right..."

". . ."

As if he just remember what he came for, he started to talk about tomorrow's schedule.

"I don't know if you know this, Evelyn. There will be an assessment of magic tomorrow. The ones with higher affinity will be accepted right away in the magic department. But for those who have low Mana will need to take an exam first..."

"Hmm..."

He trailed off and looked at Evelyn's expression. It is known that Evelyn has low mana, the reason why the Duke also detests her because of her incompetence in magic.

Amidst his assumption, Evelyn knew about the assessment. It's because it's one of the important parts of the novel.

The assessment where they found out that Elise, the heroine, has light magic.

And the beginning of the Crown Prince where he will have an interest with Elise.

'I'll just hope that apart from me being a villainess, the story will still continue to follow the original plot on its own.' Evelyn wishfully think.

Then the Crown Prince continued his words.

"... The school also has a tradition where the sophomore will be taking care of two freshmen for about half of the school calendar. So, the freshmen can adjust to school life in the dormitory..."

Evelyn nodded, she also knows this part too...

"... And I'm the one task to help you in the next 6 months..."

"Huh? The Crown Prince?... What?"

'Wait... What???'

'... the Crown Prince will be my guardian??? But in the novel, he was supposed to be assigned to Elise!!!'

Evelyn laughs dryly.

"Tsk!" Gab just clicked his tongue. Annoyed that he can't butt in.

After Edickart left and said the foreboding news. Evelyn went and go to her room.

~click!

She opened the door. 

The cream-colored walls and the intricate design of the wall moldings were grandiose, perfect fit for the tag "prestigious school" that the St. Prisch Academy embodied.

The room has the necessity that is needed, there's the desk table for studying, a closet for the clothes, and to the right is the bathroom.

There are also two beds, one bed on each side.

"Do I have a roommate? I wonder who it is... I hope she's nice."

Evelyn didn't saw the name tag on the door. She only sees her surname plastered on it.

She started to unpack her things...

"Sheila isn't here so, I need to do these things on my own... It's been so long since I do household chores."

It's customary to the St. Prisch Academy to make the nobles not bring an attendant, the school wants to make the noble descendants live independently.

She remembered her past life, she also lived in a dormitory when she was in university.

She unconsciously smiles at the thought of her past life but eventually stops when she remembered her friend, Amy.

"Let's stop thinking about it... Let's just unpack!"

***

The chirping sound of the early birds singing to the morning sun was heard in Evelyn's room.

The sun was shining brightly that it cascades the frame of the window sill leaving a silhouette to the wooden floor.

Evelyn slowly opens her eyes to saw the unfamiliar white ceiling.

"Ahh... That's right. I'm in the Academy."

She stretches her arms and yawns to take off the remaining drowsiness that she feels.

She looks to her left and saw that no one occupied the other bed.

She shrugged it off and made her way to the bathroom.

After changing her clothes to the uniform, she made her way to the front of the dorm where she and Gab, agreed to wait for one another to go to the cafeteria and take their breakfast.

Gab saw Evelyn wearing a one-piece white dress and blue linings to every edge where it also has a red ribbon on the center of the chest and the long sleeve that covers the entire arm.

To say the least, Evelyn was shining brightly, the uniform was complimenting her porcelain skin and her black hair where the tips have a tint of blue-silver. And her sunset cat-like eyes.

She was too dazzling that Gab tried not to look at her face to avoid blushing in front of the new look of Evelyn.

"Gab~" Evelyn smiled and wave at Gab.

He quicken his pace to reach Evelyn's destination.

"Let's go..." He said.

***

Evelyn and Gab finished eating their breakfast in the large cafeteria at the main building of the school.

They went to the auditorium to have the assessment that the Crown Prince said.

Evelyn ask Gab in a whisper while they are waiting for their names to be called.

"Will you be alright? They will not detect that your a beastkin, right?"

"No... The crystal will only detect ones Mana so, I'm safe..."

"Sigh~ That's a relief..."

They looked ahead to see the others getting examined for their Mana and affinity.

After the other students comes the next and eventually they called a familiar name that Evelyn knew the most.

The examiner yelled...

"Next..."

"Lady Elise Letisha von Acker... Please step forward..."

All eyes were on the innocent looking lady who raised her hand. The girl has pink hair and blue eyes, and her lovely voice echoed in the room. She answer the examiner while stammering.

"Y-yes..."
