Kairan: Surviving in the Modern World Chapter 21
Kairen's Point Of View
It's been a week since that day Silvestre didn't even try to contact me. I also saw him with that daughter of the Scott family almost every day, I was wondering why do I feel uneasy every time I think about that? I mean is this normal? Or I'm expecting too much. I was expecting that Silvestre would stay with me and put me first just because of the bond that we had or maybe I want us to get close to each other since he is the first creature in this world that I've met and talked with.
"Een to earth, Queen to earth, calling for Kairen" It was Ash, who is currently sitting on my table again.
"You're having deep thoughts again, what's wrong?" I stared at him while pouting, he chuckled
"You're so cute, " he said while looking straight into my eyes. It's been a week and Ash and I became close like friends, our relationship is better than before.
"Yeah, yeah—you always say that" I said and asked him if he wanted to grab lunch with me he said yes and then we left.
We decided to eat in the cafeteria within the university. There is a lot of food where you can choose from. Ash is the one who will order our food while I am the one who is going to look where we can sit. Fortunately I was able to find a table for two.
"Here's your food," Ash said, placing the tray in front of me. I only said thanks and started eating.
"Hey, did you see that? Silver from Class of letters is always with Lady Thania I wonder what kind of relationship they had" student 1
"Isn't it obvious that they are lovers? Just looked how close they are" student 2
I heard random girls talking about Silvestre and Scott, I actually don't like to hear that but- well what I can do?
"Are you done eating?"
Ash asked me, I nodded at him and he volunteered to return the trays, I followed while I was beside him. I can see other students looking at him, especially girls. Well I kinda understand because I cannot deny that he's handsome and has a tight body build. Wide shoulders, thin hips, he was also tall and walked like a model.
We left the cafeteria but before we could leave I saw Silvestre with Scott lady. I looked at them for a minute until Ash tapped my shoulders as if he asked me 'are you okay?I'm here so don't worry about things' I looked at him and smiled and left without having a second look at Silver.
This- this feeling, I hate it, he didn't abandon me or something but it feels like that. I was expecting something from Silvestre and now I am disappointed because he cannot fulfill my expectations.
"Why?"
"Hmm-" Ash's response.
"Why do you want to get close to me? Why you want to fix our relationship"
I asked him and looked at his reaction. He seems hesitant to answer my question but I really want to know the reason so I wait until we reach the fourth floor then he starts speaking.
Ash's Point Of View
It was a cloudy day, everything looked so gloomy.
"Ash? Hurry up, we're going to be late" mom said while looking at me.
I don't know why we're here. I really want to stay at home and read some books. Not too far I saw a girl near the pond. She was looking at the water as if she was watching her own reflection.
"Actually the first time I saw you- you probably cannot remember it but I thought that you're beautiful and elegant even if you were just wearing the simplest pair of clothes, even from far I can see how sad your eyes are and how vulnerable you are like glass that could break in slightest impact."
That time I was only 13 years old but I had this urge to take care of you. I want to make you feel how to live a joyful life.
After that time I want to meet you more so I beg my parents so that I can come with them to your house. I cannot approach you, you look like you are avoiding everyone, you like having and always draw a border line to everyone. Not long after our parents decided to introduce each other. I cannot believe that you are now in front of me.
The time I looked into your eyes I could see them lifelessly. I tried to be friendly to you. I don't know what I did wrong but,,
"But time passed you start sending me dead animals and threatening 'love' letters, if- if you didn't do that I would be happy to give you my affection and time, if you didn't annoyed me or if you just asked me nicely, told me what you want I would give it you without thinking twice, but then I cannot think of canceling the engagement with you. I keep saying to myself that some day you will change and when that time comes I want us to stay as friends or lovers. I want you to lean on me and look at me like I am a reliable person" I looked down, I don't want her to see me having this kind of expression.
I took her hand and held it tightly.
"Now that your personality changes and the madness is gone I want us to grow closer. I don't care if you will not love me or like me but can we at least become friends" I can feel my cheeks getting red, I cannot look at her like this, I was so embarrassed that all I can do is to scratch my nape .
"So you like the way I look? Nothing else?" She asked why I panicked.
"NO!- I mean yes, but no it's not like that" I said, making weird gestures. When I suddenly heard a small chuckle from her but the time that I looked at her she's already a few steps away from me.
I matched her footing and tried to explain to her that she misunderstood me. The time that I looked at her I saw a much brighter expression than before. I think I get closer to her by one step and I am so happy about that.
"Go back to your seat," she said pointing at my seat.
"You haven't heard my explanation yet" I said.
"Then explain it later, Sir Art is here" she said and pointed to Sir Art who just entered the room.
Silvestre's Point Of View
"Thank you for helping me with this heavy file of papers" – Thania.
"No problem, I was there too and I'm not in a hurry" I said, putting the box of papers on the table. Earlier I saw her carrying two boxes and accidentally bump into me so I helped her since I don't have an appetite to eat.
"Silver—um—I" I looked at her and she looked shy for some reason.
"What is it? Do you need something else?" I asked.
"N-no, I want to ask if you're free this Sunday" She asked while playing with the tip of her hair.
"Sunday? Hmm—I think so, why?" I said and put the other box on the table.
"So… um- can you go with me- on the Ball?" She said and looked away from me.
"If that's the case then I'll go with you" I said while preparing to leave.
"Really? You'll go with me? yey!" She said while jumping and suddenly hugged me from the side and again I can feel her chest into me.
Thania said that she is going to treat me with some food at the school cafeteria. I didn't expect that I would cross paths with Kairen at this time. It's been a few days since the last time I saw and contacted her.
But upon seeing her I didn't expect that she was with Ash. I know that they are engaged but I didn't expect that they would grow closer like this. We met each other's eyes. I was planning to say hi to her when she suddenly looked at Ash. It seems like he said something that makes Kairen look straight and left without saying anything to me.
My body froze for a minute. I don't know why.
Kairen's Point Of View
"So the Aristocrats and Nobles are needed to act accordingly on their positions, inside the households all members of the family has an authority to lead anyone whom lower that their positions being said that, it means that no one within the household can decide on what you want without your consent" – Sir Art.
"Unlike in other countries, only the head of the family has the power to decide over something. If you're going to ask me how it is, we still don't know. There's no historical documents about it. The founder and how the descendants of the underworld are build" he said while holding his book.
"There are some proven legitimate documents about the descendants or the aristocratic and noble names, but how are we separated from the society? That's still a mystery," Sir Art said and then closed his book.
"That's all for today" He said and grabbed his things and left the room immediately. The class starts to make noise like it usually does but this day they are more willing to listen to the discussion unlike on the first and second day of the class.
"Queen? What's your plan for today?" It was Xebec and Baal approached me.
"Nothing particularly, but I'm planning to learn how to drive a motorbike" I said then Ash suddenly tapped my shoulders like he was asking if we could talk alone but before I could respond someone bang on the door.
"Get inside!" Someone shouted from outside then the door opened, everyone was looking at what was going on and no one dared to say something.
"You're a Noble right? A Baroness to be exact? Then why don't you prove yourself to me" The girl said and threw the green headed girl on the floor. The green headed girl was beaten badly. I suddenly remember Sarah from my previous world.
"What's happening? And why are you doing this in our class?" – Baal asked.
"How dare a mere Noble speak like that to me?" – That girl.
Now I see, women in this world are too pathetic and this class is too vulnerable in this kind of situation. What the hell why do they always choose to make and start a mess in lower classes like this?
I am getting tired of this.
I looked at Ash and said that we need to deal with it first before leaving and he agreed with me.
"I heard that Class-9E finally got their Queen, I'm curious and I want to see what kind of woman she is" – That girl.
"Don't disrespect her like that you don't know who she is" Someone within the class said that so everyone agreed with him.
"Oh really? Then why don't you tell me her name?" – That girl.
"Kai---"
Ash stood beside the guy who was about to say my name and that's the reason for him to stop and stare at me who is standing in front.
"Looking for me?" I said casually and stood in front of her.
"I don't know why you guys are always looking for me or why you can't see me when I was the only female here" I said to her face turned red as a tomato but she looked at me from head to toe like she heard nothing.
"I'm Nacea Davis, an Aristocrat. What's your name?" She said and looked at me again but this time her eyes were criticizing me.
"You can call me Kairen" I said while looking at the green headed poor girl she also looked at me with embarrassment on her face.
"What brings you here? And why do you guys love to make our room as your stage?" I asked while checking my phone.
"Ohhh that was because of this piece of shit who wanted to be part of our group. I just want to know what she can do, this way I- we can accept her" She said while checking her beautiful painted nails.
"Then why in our class? I don't see any reason for you to do such things here" I said.
"I'm being patient with you because you're a queen but for a lowly human like you dared to waste my time and speak to me in that manner? I cannot accept that anymore" she said while looking at me with disgust.
"First of all you're the one who respass here, second I can see the authority with you, third if you don't have anything to say or if you think that you're only wasting your time in here then just leave." some of my classmates laugh at her reason for her to turn into red again.
"How dare y--" I don't let her finish.
"Oh yeah? Then why don't you leave now?" After saying that she stares and glares at me and grabs the green headed girl again to make her stand up.
"This bitch is pissing me off, deal with it now—if you prove yourself enough then we might agree on letting you be part of us" And then pushed her into me, Baal suddenly grabbed her and pulled her away from me.
"This is pathetic as fuck" Ash blurred out because of what happend.
"What did you say?!" She tries to slap me but Xebec stops her and pushes her on the ground.
