"Do we know each other?"
"Huh pardon me, you don't know who I am?"
"No"
Ah yes, of course he doesn't know me. I'm the one who went crazy for him and tried to kill Mireya several times in a row out of jealousy. You are the main character while I am the villainess who was killed trying to win your love so I don't blame you for not remembering me, I even thank you because now I do not have to act like old Nasya, and this way I will avoid death and live a happy life.
'But what is his highness Jonathan doing here?'
"Most importantly what are you doing here?"
He brought it up before me.
'Oh, the other boy is gone, I wanted to know his name because I didn't remember his appearance from the novel so I should ask him later.'
"Hehe, I missed the opportunity to leave a few days ago when everyone started to leave and I stayed here, now I have to find a carriage or go to the capital to rent one."
"If you want to go to the capital then we can take you there."
Yes, finally, I knew that prince Jonathan would be good enough to ask me to come with him! He is the male lead after all and the savior of a simple girl like Mireya.
"What's your name?"
"Oh, my name is Nasya, Nasya Corttes!"
*Bang!*
From the adjoining room was heard a loud banging sound, perhaps one of the boxes had fallen when someone was trying to pick it up.
Prince Jonathan turned his head but didn't move to see what had happened. In his radiant face, now there was no emotion. He was standing silent with a frozen face.
"Your highness, you will not see what the problem is?"
"…"
He didn't speak, I thought that he didn't want to go there to see what was inside the room. He left for a moment to tell the coachman that I would go with him and told me not to move until he returned.
I did as I was told, but curiosity didn't leave me alone, no one entered or left that room and the door was also locked. Something or someone was inside that room.
At one point I walked forward, towards the room, I couldn't stay in one place without doing anything, I had to go and see what had happened.
But I couldn't. A hand was between me and the door, someone didn't want me to look inside. He smiled and in a low and sweet voice told me something that made my heart beat even faster.
"A lonely girl shouldn't enter a boy's room like that, you should know that you can be punished unpleasantly."
I swallowed my shame at the words and their meaning, hoping that my heart would calm down a little bit, and asked with a trembling voice: "F-for ex-example?"
He smiled again, but this time he looked more sarcastic and carefully pulled me off the door, I was so focused on that beautiful face and the answer he would give me that I forgot what I was going to do.
We were walking down the stairs to get down, at that moment I heard him muttering something to himself.
"Exclusion from the academy."
"Pardon?"
He stopped and started patting my head with the same sarcastic smile he had before. At first, I thought he would make fun of me just as Alan did, but the prince wasn't the same as him. What surprised me was that his hand was shaking and the more I looked at him I could see some fear in that smile.
Well it turned out that I was wrong, he collected himself in an instant and the words he said to me afterward were beyond what I had anticipated.
"You can be punished with an expulsion from the academy for eavesdropping on the boys' rooms, they will take you for a perverted girl."
I stunned! That was not what I was thinking.
'Are you kidding me? My poor heart'
My heart was pounding, my face was red, I was ashamed of the thoughts I had a little while ago when he said there would be a punishment for entering a boy's room alone.
Ghaa, I making a fool of myself in front of him!
"So anyway, I talked to the coachman about you and he told me you couldn't come with us, I'm sorry!"
My joy was extinguished, I couldn't believe what I heard, I was prepared that this small ray of hope that Prince Jonathan gave me would enable me to leave here today and go home.
"But why, is there a problem? I can solve it if you just tell me."
He hesitated for a moment and looked the other way, there was no one around and then continued.
"There is not a problem that you can solve, to be honest, I am not the only one who will leave today, my brother is here with me."
His highness, Alastair Viotto Aleader?
Old Nasya has never met him and I also know nothing about him from the novel. He was a side character so they didn't give much importance to him, but his very presence made anyone, no matter how powerful, rethink their position.
As far as I remember, he is thought to be a person blessed with an angelic face and a great talent for everything. No one could defeat him in an argument or duel, so he was the first to be assigned to lead our troops in the war against the enemy kingdom, he made it known to everyone that only he was capable of being king and cleverly running the kingdom.
But since the story was only about the love between Jonathan and Mireya, he had a small role in helping them to be together and appeared only at the critical moments of their relationship.
I would love to see with my own eyes how he looked, I know Prince Jonathan and Alan are beautiful, but I would love to see a pure beauty.
A little has been said about his character, perhaps nothing at all, but I remember he has been described as an angel, but a black one. His appearance is a mystery, it is only known that he has dark brown hair and a fabulous beauty.
More has been said about his eyes. I don't know why, but they are a little different than Jonathan's but still, the color is inherited from the royal blood. They gave him more personality and caused fear in other people who stood 'in front' of him, so much so that it was said that they made it possible for someone to see "the grim reaper" in his eyes.
And once when Prince Jonathan and Mireya were confronting one of the prime ministers and the oldest among them, Xeron Phelter, because he objected to their relationship between him and a simple girl of a foreign kingdom.
He went too far with the accusations that he offend and mistreat her in the eyes of everyone like a jezebel girl who used tricks to win the heart of the prince.
In that confrontation where it looks more like a trial for Mireya, Prince Alastair comes on the scene as a worthy emperor.
"Minister Phelter I believe you have no right to decide who my brother will marry, if he wants to have a relationship with a simple girl it is his wish. As for the fact that she is from another kingdom, I think it is a good chance for our society to win different cultures. Or is what you are proposing that we stick to our traditions and waste the precious time to move forward with the others?"
"Your majesty!"
"If so, get out of here because I am not my father. I will never tolerate any of you to keep our kingdom under the mossy culture of the previous emperor."
"You didn't understand me, your majesty. I'm just thinking about what is best for our kingdom. She is not a good example for our society and the kingdom of Nirvana itself is looking for her everywhere. Years ago we won the war with one of the enemy kingdoms out of pure luck, because his majesty was leading our troops. But what will happen this time if Nirvana declares war against us?"
