With things seemingly calmed down, the tea party became quite normal. The other girls got up the nerve to speak and were now happily chatting away. Even Sophie had loosened up a bit and was chatting with them. But what I found strange was the other girls were mainly chatting with Sophie and only answering questions with everyone else. I guess it is because Sophie seemed like the gentle one out of our group. We were about an hour into the tea party when Adel’s maid came over with a document in her hand.…

“Ahh!” Yep, I drilled her right in the face. Her nose ended up busted and swelled up instantly as blood sprayed all over. I held my strength back just enough to not make her head explode, but I guess it was not enough because she hit the ground pretty hard. While the other girls screamed out in fright. Surprisingly besides the always composed Adel, Miss Dollen looked at the situation with indifference. She clapped her hands and yelled out: “Someone come take this idiot and toss her back into her…

“You do not need to worry. While commoners may have been viewed differently before in my household but now things have changed.” Miss Dollen looked at both me and Sophie as she said this, not averting her eyes at all. Adel seemed curious about this change in attitude and quickly followed up with a question of her own. “And what brought this change on?” “Well….” Miss Dollen glanced up at Sophie and I and blushed. “Let’s just say sometimes there are times when people need to change and…

As the ship broke through the illusion that masked the floating island from view, I finally got to take a look at the true face of Sky Lake City. The castle that stood tall high into the sky was pure white and built in the middle of the large lake. It was surrounded by a city a little smaller than the one below it. But this city was much more high class and was only for nobles and the knights that worked at the castle. And off to the side, standing a little lower than the castle itself, was the Royal Magic…

I couldn’t help but frown upon hearing this. I mean, I really did not wish to deal with some snobby rich girl as it was, but now I will need to deal with one who had an even bigger attitude that might be racist against Sophie and me. I could already see Sophie’s face paling even more. I tightened my grip on Sophie’s hand, trying to comfort her. “Ah! Sorry, I didn’t mean to say that to scare you two!” Adel must have noticed the change in the mood and quickly apologized. “I just wanted to…

The next day all of us were in the bathroom getting ready. We had Annie, along with some of Adel’s maids working on doing our makeup and hair. And to be honest, this was the first time I really experienced anything like this before. “Miss Cyrilia. Your hair is amazingly soft.” “I know, right!?” “Miss Cyrilia, your skin is as soft as a babies. How do you even do it?” “I know, right!?” And for some reason, every time one of Adel’s maids compliments me, it is Adel who is…

I couldn’t help but chuckle at Thurul’s teasing. He was definitely showing off the new pen he crafted. But this was also a given. If he did not test his own works to make sure they worked in the first place and then sent them out only for them to not work at all, we would lose any chance of making any profit. Bad merchandise equals loss of trust from the masses, which would be hard to regain. But I was very happy that my design worked. “How does it feel when writing?” I asked curiously. I have…

“You are right. I do know that if you did not say anything, he would continue to make a fuss. This is for the best.” I watched as Adel sighed. “I just know I will be hearing it from Father when I get back.” “Oh, why is that?” I asked. I did not understand why Adel would be getting an ear full when she has done nothing wrong. “Because it is partly my fault that my brother was not able to woo you. I tried to tell my father that trying to marry you to brother would not work out well, but he…

As for Adel, who got a front row seat to the sight of her brother falling down so gracefully, she was now rolling on the floor of the carriage looking nowhere near what a princess should be looking like: “Hahahahaha! He… Fell… Butt.. Hahahaha!” From where I was sitting, I could see the anger and embarrassment on Prince Lance’s face growing by the minute. I knew that he was about to explode at any second. So I said nothing and sipped the tea in my hand. Sophie had scooted up next to me at some…

The next day I woke up to both Adel and Sophie sleeping next to me curled up into balls. Adel had a serene smile on her face. She was overly excited last night because she made a new true friend. While I could tell Sophie was nervous around Adel she did not treat her as royalty either. She treated her the same way she treated me. Adel took a big liking to Sophie because of this and they instantly became friends. I stealthily slipped out of bed and left the room to be greeted by Annie who was outside…
