Chereads / My Road to the Dark King / Chapter 49 - The Ice Queen

Chapter 49 - The Ice Queen

I want to distance myself from the princess now, but I'm her hired security. I can't do anything about that, not unless I want to lose out on things more important than money. Besides... I don't want her to be hurt.

In the end, I didn't sleep with her. I did however make her a promise... to be her pseudo-girlfriend to stop the forced marriage. She told me a lot about the nobleman she was going to be married to. He's strong and has incredible light magic, but he's abusive and tyrannical. That alone tells me that her father is hiding something from her... and I want to know.

I finally start classes today, Evelyn's help didn't do much though. She's smart, but... this world is dumb. Like, pretty far back on lessons compared to where I'm from. So I'm stuck as a genius here. In my world, I'm above average at best.

Evelyn decided to show me around before classes. Different areas, different uses. The library, cafeteria and lobby were all that stood out. Tons of books, tons of food, and the worst way to stand out.

I had gotten separated from Evelyn by a sudden surge of students barreling passed me. They didn't even try to apologize or anything, but I could tell they were scared.

I leaned against the wall, casually waiting for Evelyn to reappear. I just hope she's doing alright.

"Hey sexy, wanna hang out with me?"

My eyes flashed open to a young blond sporting a small knife. I just don't even wanna know why he's holding it.

"Are you why all those students ran off earlier? You're disgusting."

His eyes grew angry as I began to ignore him.

"You lousy bitch! I'll get rid of you here and now, how does that sound?"

I looked at my nails. They're quite pretty... best to keep them clean.

"I'll make you beg to be my slave!"

"Who shall belong to whom?"

From beside me, a deep bottomless aura began to explode.

"For a worm, such as yourself, to bother with my roommate... do you truly wish to die?"

"Hmph. You're gonna be marrying me you bitch. Don't worry, I'll treat her nicely since you're so close."

I saw a massive blade of water beginning to form in front of Evelyn. She's actually more of a Water Queen. The color was almost exactly like the ocean. Breathtaking, especially if you see her behind it.

In a moment of sheer annoyance, I stepped between them.

"Evee, don't do something stupid. You'll regret it if you hurt him... right now. And you, I've got nothing to fear. So, wanna dance?"

Flames began to coil around my body. Even the book I held was glowing brightly with fire. My eyes caught sight of a small book strapped to his leg, and another strapped to her shoulder. They don't seem to need to open them, just keep them close.

"Heh. Fire magic. Weak."

A glimmering light began to radiate from behind him.

"So that's how it is. You really want to attack me, a student that's been missing for the last couple of weeks, and piss off the faculty?"

My flames were already gone. Behind the daft idiot, appeared the very same demon prince I saw about a week prior. He was definitely pissed. He grabbed his shoulder and began to haul him off, but I quickly pulled Evelyn passed them and before we went out of eyesight...

"Thanks for trying to scare him off Evee!"

My lips brushed across her cheek. Two red faces, one of rage the another embarrassment.

"Sylv... you tease! Won't sleep with me, but you'll pull that?!"

His face stopped being angry... and a single line of blood fell from his nose.

Jeez... only perverts would imagine us doing it.

"But haven't you imagined it?"

I'm part of it, so I'm not counted... pervert.

And now I have a cute headache.
