"You Little bitch! How are you so pretty?!"
"Hey! She's asking you, SPEAK!!"
The girls became annoyed. Mika gasped and trembled at their reaction, yet she couldn't do anything but watch.
One of the girls grabbed Kira's hair and banged her to the wall. Mika gasped.
"AUD!!"
"SHUT UP MIKA!!"
Kira only squealed in pain. Aud was furious, she hadn't seen anyone as pretty as her before. The other girls felt the same way as she did. They were envious, they want it, but they also knew it's not something they could get just because they wanted to. But since they can't, no one should have it, thus they wanted to ruin the unworldly beauty that stood before them.
They abused her, when they stopped, Kira was covered in bruises. Her face is wet in tears, she was crying in agony. Not just her fearful past, but as well as her cruel present.
Everyone there knew she's in pain, yet her reaction stupefies all of them.
She smiled,
She gave them a lovely smile. Her smile was rather empty and sad, but it also portrayed pity. To those around her and to herself…
The Boys are dumbfounded, they knew Kira was hated through out the school, but never did they expect it to be that worse. But most of all…the only reason to that is her beauty.
Not that the boys don't understand, but maybe it's only a matter of perspective. Since they experienced spending time with upper-high-ranking nobles, extraordinary beauties are not rare on their daily lives.
"THAT'S INSANE!!" Rex shouted
"settle down Rex" said Lune
"HOW IN THE WORLD AM I GOING TO DO THAT HUH, LUNE!!??"
"Shut up you idiot!" Kishi spoke out of the blue that made everyone quiet and look at him.
"You dumb morons! Overreacting when this matter has nothing to do with you!"
"Cut the crap mister cold eyes! For all we know, you've been crying and screaming inside like a crazy lamb"
"Huh!? What did you say king…of…i-d-i-o-t-s?"
"ruthless sucker!!"
Airi and Lune can only sigh as Kishi And Rex kept throwing insults at each other.
"that's cruel though" Airi moaned and agreed by Lune
"It's been like that ever since. Most also believes she's a commoner since she refuses to write and always fail at everything. She also can't use magic that made it even worse" Mika sighed "the worst of it was that she always smiles. I feel guilty…. I'm such a coward-"
"don't pity her" Kishi cut through her words "No matter what you think, she's not pitiful. And even if she is, you have no rights to do so. And besides, she not able to use magic because she's a late comer and other things she refuses to do is for a reason."
Rex laughed coolly and said as if his mocking him "ha! You act unusually serious about this matter!"
Kishi turned pink and looked so embarrassed that even Lune gave out a small laugh "Shut up"
Mika smiled at their behavior, but was quickly broken when she saw a slight sparkle that seemed to be a pendant, she was familiar with. She blinked and looked at it again. It was like a golden-pink sapphire and shaped like a tear, and it shines what look like a magic circle if one looked at it sharply.
It's a fine work of art, And Mika knew exactly it was the one she thinks it is, for a reason that it was very rare and perhaps the only one in the world. Yet now, she's looking right at it; she couldn't believe her eyes.
"That pendant…"
Kishi suddenly looked at her and held the pendant tightly with his hand.
"That's—"
"--exactly like Kira's" She nodded
"I remember her asking me about it…we came to the dean and she seemed to hesitate giving it back….she told us to be careful with it…I-I didn't seem to understand why….b-but it seemed magical since it emits a bright complicated magic circle every night…and—"
"--It's enchanted. No perhaps created from nothingness with only pure magic" Everyone looked at him
Airi said in an anxious voice "Dude that's impossible…. I mean, even enchanters are very rare these days—"
"It's not impossible…as a matter of fact, I made one for Kira on our third birthday as a gift, and she did the same"
"you crazy or something!?"
"It was the truth—"
"W-who are you?" Mika asked yet again in an anxious but now, fearful voice
"Aren't you supposed to be FAMOUS?!" Rex beamed at him
Kishi sighed "you are more famous than I 'am. And—"
"He's Kishi of Enchancia AKA Enchanted palace" Airi said coolly that made Mika gasped in shock and with fear as she covered her mouth; tears welled up in her eyes.
"What?" Rex asked confusedly
Kishi replied angrily, "You idiots! Not everyone reacts the same way as you did when they meet a Sacred Royal, in fact, most people fear it"
"but—" said Rex quickly but was cut by Airi
"Why? Shouldn't everyone know you? I mean you like…ruled over one-fifth of Harmonia, one-fifth of the whole world!"
"Yeah right, even so...after the fall of the Sacred palaces, most people were out of their commands. So, trying to gain it after many years of loss would get the people to revolt that not even the curses would be able to handle. And besides, what exactly do you think are we? We may be strong, smart, and powerful, but don't ever forget were still children. The responsibilities and work are hard enough to handle…how do you actually expect us to deal with the whole empire? That's the first reason why the fairies decided to hide the fact we even existed and decide to let the upper-high-ranking nobles and the guild councils to deal with most of the things"
There was a slight pause in the room. No one dared to argue, the facts Kishi pointed out was all truth.
"sorry" Airi said in a low voice. He can't face it, or rather, he didn't want to accept it. Nonetheless, it was reality, and he has to, whether he likes it or not.
"Whatever…I'll be going"
Airi looked at Mika whose still trembling.
"Don't worry…. He may act cold and aloof all the time, but he's a good guy. He just, had a lot of things to worry about and all…specially Kira"
Mika tried her best to get a hold on herself, asked "Why? What's with him and Kira?"
"His twin sister"
Mika shown a clear face of disbelief.
"To tell you the truth, he was always anxious about her, but…he always refuse to show any sign of weakness that he always tries to cover it up with his aloofness" Rex proclaimed
"Yeah. That also why he was known as the aloof white mage back to our school. But in truth his face was easy to read, especially if you get know him"
"He also has a lot in his shoulders, that it always bothers him a lot to stay up every night without even a blink of sleep"
"He too…Kira's just the same. She spends the whole night crying. A lot actually, she made me worry." Mika added
Lune decided to sit out of the conversation and continued reading. However, what met his eyes when he took a glimpse around the room, shook him. But he rather not say anything. Good thing I'm not a part of this, he thought.
