"You know, sometimes kids get bad grades in school because the class moves too slow for them. Einstein got D's in school. Well guess what, I get F's!!!"

Chapter 14: The beginning of the story
I never thought of me being stuck in school again ,school is boring and i hate it but i couldn't change the fact that school is useful.
School or should i say education can help our life go smoother, it might not make any sense but it's true.
Why do you hate school? I hate school because it's where the teachers are, i hate school because people who values intelligent students and worships the genius and popular people are found in there.
It will be more logical if you hate those people instead but i don't hate him, they were just people who found themselves suitable in that place.
I'm not making any sense am i? Well i don't stand anything i have said too all i know is... I hate school.
I took a deep sigh and crosses my legs, loosening the black neck tie on my neck and removes the Black vest i have been wearing.
I have finally reach the age of 16 and so do my sister, many years pass and things have drastically change...
Puberty hits me hard, the once flat chest i have been worshipping grown, but no too huge nor small they are actually tolerable, i can still fight without their constant bouncing.
My medium length hair become long, they already reached my hips, and they are troublesome when i'm practicing but father yeah i'm calling him father now.
Father wants my hair long to remind him i'm a girl and he has 2 daughters who are beautiful and charming.
Tch charming my ass.
Anyway i'm in front of the duke's castle... Yeah castle because it literally looks like one... Waiting for my dear sister inside the carriage.
I am currently wearing the uniform long sleeve White blouse paired with black necktie with two gold linings on the near bottom and a black vest with a breast pocket on the left side, the breast pocket has a two gold lining in the logo of the Licht kingdom.
The logo is a Book with four different colour orbs and greek writing around it, i'm not good at describing just imagine it.
Anyway the skirt stops 3 inches above the knee which is short in my opinion so i wore a shorts, they doesn't have shorts here so i stole a fitted pants and made them short.
Instead of wearing the high black knee socks and mary jane shoes, i wore a below the knee combat boots.
And also a sword belt suitable for my katana.
I hate the vest so i just throw it beside me, rolling my sleeves up to my elbows i stared at the carriage door when it opened revealing my sister who's wearing the uniform in complete and neat style, like how a smart and good student does.
My eyes rose up when i notice father staring at me in a bored expression.
Don't tell me he doesn't like how i dress up? Eh who care about his opinion, he's not wearing the uniform but me.
I am the one who's suffering.
"What's up duc?"
He rolled his eyes at me and helps my sister in getting into the carriage before flickering my forehead.
I click my tongue and touches my forehead while lazily glares at him
"Protect you sister dear knight or i'll make you my heir instead" i just make face and stared at him in bored manner which he also did.
"Hmmp anyway we will be staying in the school for a year, don't miss us too much, don't cry when you see things that would remind you of us"
He clicks his tongue and waves his hand at me in a shoo motion.
"Why would i? I would miss your sister not you, don't be too cocky"
"How unfather like of you"
"That's not a word"
"Who cares" he just heave a sigh and kisses both of our forehead before closing the door.
Both of us waves at him in the window and i smirk before closing the curtains.
"Both of you always bicker, is there a day when You both do not?" Lilith asks weakly while fixing her sitting posture, i smiled at her in a lazy fashion and places my hand on my chin and a thinking manner.
"Yes they are, when we are wrestling on the ground" she gave me a unamused expression which made me chuckle
"That is so unladylike of you"
"That's not a word"
"Yes it is"
"Really?"
"Of course why would i use words that does not exist"
"Well played my lady, well played"
"I was not playing"
"That was metaphor, oh my you didn't know that my lady?"
She heave a sigh and shakes her head at me in a stress manner causing me to laugh.
"Metaphor is a figure of speech that, for rhetorical effect, directly refers to one thing by mentioning another. It may provide clarity or identify hidden similarities between two ideas... In short you were not using metaphor"
"Yes yes miss little all knowing"
"I strangely took offense at that"
"Well i wasn't complimenting"
"You are become annoying after you turned 16"
"You become so uncute after you turned 16"
"Uncute is not a word, it is not cute"
"Whatever milady"
"You are being annoying"
"You still love me right?"
She pauses and sigh in defeat which i immediately beams and touches her hand in affection.
"Yeah you are right"
We just talk on our way towards the school, topics about random stuff and majority of then is the prince.
I don't know when Lilith become obsess with the prince but i think it was when father wasn't in the house and i've been punish to stay in my room for a week because of destroying the grasses on the plain field.
It was raining so hard and she thought she was alone in the mansion and the prince was visiting her and she forgot about it and just silently curled in the corner of her closet, scared and afraid.
The prince found her when the maids couldn't and comforted her... When i found about this from the head butler i felt guilty in didn't left her side for a month and it takes many maids and butlers, father, priest gabriel and my three favourite holy maidens to separate me from her.
Since then she become head over heels towards the prince.
Ryan, the prince. Seems to hate her after that, i'm pretty it's because of her fear and cowardice but because of her being clingy and chasing him 24 hrs.
... I started hating him too.
He dared take away my sister's attention away from me? How dare him.
Hmpp, i don't care if he's the prince.. No one shall take my sister away from me.
I notice that mybsister stops talking and become distracted at the outside i raised the curtains of the window beside me and found ourselves outside a huge gate painted in gold with the academy's logo on the front.
It slowly opened revealing a Big castle like building and a huge beautiful fountain in the center,
The road has bushes of Roses in each sides causing to have a very elegant effect..
The students stops at their walking and chatting and stared at our carriage, i closes it when they started staring at me.
It's not like i'm embarrass but their stares made me think of those ignorant fools who haven't seen a human since that day they were born
It made me feel uncomfortable but not enough for me to lose my composure.
I pulled out a lollipop and unwraps it, coincidentally the carriage door opened.
"My lady, My lord we have arrived"
