As we turn 14, our days turned busier. We are now third years, the middle point until we graduate. The 6 years where noble sons and daughters spend their time in San Crisante Academy, is built in the city metropolis. The beautiful shrine like building which is also a slight distance to the castle. The other buildings are built surrounding these 2 structures.
My life which revolves around coming and going between the Academy and the dorms too gradually started to change, as invitations to parties in the castle started to come towards me. Of course, during the times I attend these parties, Schneider would be together with me. I then go around the dazzling venue with him for greetings.
We naturally become known as the 'Elite Couple ever since San Crisante's founding' as we continue to maintain first in grades. Nevertheless, my family still did not recognize my achievements. My family frequently attended the parties as well, and was always expressionless when others complimented me, they thought of it to be a matter of course, and my brother would blurt out phrases such as 'getting first among the ladies would be easy'. Amidst those times, I would force a smile and Schneider would then say to me 'Be proud, Rhonya. You have achieved amazingly' and I would always return it with a gentle smile towards him who always kindly encourage me.
I am content with just Schneider's understanding, and that is all I needed.
The plans about our marriage started to get into order after we turn 15. Schneider strongly wished for our immediate marriage soon after our graduation. By then, we are treated as a couple in the Academy. But after Schneider insisted that we are engaged, they too started to treat us as so.
And so came the day Schneider first met the novel's heroine. As I started to think that there may be hope that the future won't be the same as the scenario, they both still met.
The daughter of the Baron, Misano Aroga.
A beautiful lady with black hair and eyes who dislikes being surrounded, the type of student who likes to be alone. The sociable Schneider aggressively started to talk to Misano-jou, and they quickly became rapport. Misano-jou who is usually expressionless would turn into a gentle expression when talking to Schneider, as the flow of the novel, Misano-jou fell in love with him.
Speaking frankly, Schneider is popular.
The son of the younger brother of the king who is talented and not arrogant. He has the trust of people around him and is liked by everyone. On the contrary, I only have a few of whom I can call as friends, but I was not especially disliked by others.
Amidst the days of continuous studies, I would act loosely between times and Schneider would turn dumbfounded as usual but always vainly take care of me. At times when I fall asleep, he would then carry me. Schneider who was always kind and understanding of me. But then he gradually changed.
Following the scenario came the year where our engagement would be annulled and I, expelled from the Academy. But it will definitely be fine. As I started to think of so and my insecurities grew.
Recently, I frequently saw Schneider and Misano-jou together even outside of classes and Schneider would stop their conversation when he saw a glimpse of me and approach me. Misano-jou would then glare at me.
To begin with, she views me as a rival. She had always maintained second in grades among the ladies whilst not having an instructor, and worked hard by her own. In truth, she is talented and excels in magic. She may probably be more talented than I do. On the other hand, I had a demon instructor assigned to me way before enrolling into the academy and thanks to it, had always maintained first in grades among the ladies.
To her, I am but an eyesore and to add that I am the fiancé of the person she likes. It would be expected that she hates me even more, but I lived my life and not minding her.
It will all be fine, Schneider's heart is with me.
