Chapter 6 - Chapter 5.1

*Knock, Knock*

_Sounds of a door knock went off suddenly interrupting the wierd scene of Miss Tina's shocking face.

*Swwsshh*

_Sounds of the swift movements in the air followed as the spy disappears in thin air leaving Miss Tina alone in her room. Could it be someone who the spy is wary of be behind the sudden sound of knocking behind the doors. That could only be a logical explanation of why she suddenly disappeared.

*Knock, knock*

Who could it be knocking at such a time?

"Who is it?" she asked, noticing the door open.

*Slide*

_Coming from the door was Nina, dressed in her night gown, trembling as she held on to her stuffed bunny with a what seemed to be a book behind it.

"Mom."

Her voice trembled, with teary eyes, she rushed with her little legs to Miss Tina's comfort.

"Ara, Nina, what are you doing at this hour?"

"I can't sleep."

_Speaking with a sobby voice as she hugged Miss Tina tightly.

"Oh. Why?"

_Instantly, Nina when silent. Miss Tina instantly deducted she was scared of something but what could have scared a little girl sleeping?

Maybe, she had a nightmare. From her silence Miss Tina knew there could be no other explanation for why a little girl could be scared at night other than a nightmare.

"I see. Then, why don't I read you a book?"

"Then. Princess knight."

_Nina cheerfully, with a delightful smile, brought out the book she hid behind the bunny.

Tina was surprised at Nina's quick wits.

"You really like that book, huh?"

"Mm-hmm! Is that bad?"

_Nina smiled on with a face Miss Tina could not refuse.

"Its fine, but just this once and promise me you would go to bed"

"Ok"

_Miss Tina lifted up Nina placing her on to her laps as she opened up to read out the book.

"Yay!"

Once upon a time in a world filled with fantasy and mythical creatures.

There was a hard working knight, he was neither the strongest nor the weakest in all the kingdoms, but he still stood to his great words and honor in protecting the royal family, and was known to be the most noblest of all knights.

Outside of the castle there was a garden filled with flowers each full moon he would stare with admiration of the flower each with different colors and scent.

Then one day, he spotted the princess for the first time. He immediately took a great liking to the princess with eyes filled with admiration and love for her. In his eyes, the princess' pale skin and emerald glow eyes was the most beautiful woman in all the lands,

He then worked up his courage and called out to her. When the princess noticed him, she waved him over, as if to say "come here, come here!" with a charming smiling.

The knight was so pleased, he walked over to her.

"Thank you for always watching over the flowers", she said smilingly. The knight was surprised at how the princess found out he was usual here.

That day, the princess who had never go outside the castle finally had a friend.

And then every week the knight and the princess would meet at night basking in the full moonlight as the knight told her stories of his adventures through the lands going on and on till dawn

One night, the knight took up the courage to fulfill his wish as he rushed over to their usual spot to tell the princess his feelings, but he couldn't as she was no where to be found.

"Mmm-zzzzz".

_Nina falls asleep as Miss Tina stops reading.

"Ara, it seems the story would like to wait for another time".

———————————————————————

Back at the train, an unexpected appearance of a young girl, eyes swollen as were filled up with tears.

Her hair, brown with a red undertone, looked messy from the rough sack, with strand of hair standing like a cowlick.

_Glancing at her Blu notices.

An blue jacket with a military type skirt.

There is no doubt about she's the same as me, a new student.

Dressed in a familiar uniform, worn with a long jacket that hid most of her back.

Out of all her features, her slender short height stood the most distinguished, in average she a bit shorter than me.

Looking at her fairly strange appearance, Blu froze as his gaze were fixen upon her.

"What are you looking at?"

"S-sorry!"

_Unconsciously, Blu bowed with head facing down.

Huh?! Wait, why am I apologizing? Isn't this the part when the saved maiden falls in love why is it different.

"Very well, commoner, you have my thanks for dealing with the guy in black."

_Blu raises his head.

"Even though I was about to deal with him if he hadn't caught me by surprise".

_Struck by the astonishing noble and elegant manner she spoke, Blu thoughtlessly said.

"Ehmm... Who are you?"

"Huh?! You don't know?"

"Yes. I've never been outside the border towns of Area 02".

"That's a lie I've never seen someone who doesn't even know about the Blue Knight clan.

Sigh... This is what I hate with commoners.

_Blu nods as her face riddles with a surprised look.

Having had never gone anywhere other than the outskirts of Area 02, Blu was hereby lacking knowledge on most areas.

Due to rather having limited understanding, and upholding a one specific motto ever since, being between the lines of 'I only study what seems interesting' and stuffs like that seemed to have called forth for such situation.

Well for a simple fact, Blu an amateur when it comes to social standings.

"Mmm"

_Blu glances at her with a dazzling look that said, what is she talking about?

"Don't be dazzled when I'm talking to you insect."

"Sigh... Seriously, This is an insult to the name of all Blue Knight clan, I can't honestly believe, that there'll be someone from Area 02 who doesn't know about us."

Blue Knight clan.

According to her, they are one of the main clans from all 12 districts, each clan holds an important place, from trading, and other thing like a leading clan with influential figureheads.

The blue knight clan, just like the name implies a clan of blue knight. Apparently, they are the leading clan in Area 02 district.

Well, not like any of that matters to me.

"So what is your name? Commoner."

"Blu, just Blu".

"Very well, you better the thankful because I Alice Aphrodite von Penguim of the Blue..."

Hehe... More like penguin.

_Blu broke to giggles, whispering behind, while recalling a strange familiarity with her last name sounding like a penguin.

"Ahh... You laughed. You laughed at my name."

_Her tears build up, while she points at Blu in a childish manner attempting to retain her dignity.

"Sigh...", Blu couldn't help to hide his disappointment as it seemed he had just picked up the wrong heroine to save. Based on Blu's assessment, on the outside she looks beautiful but the inside she's the usual a century old rotten tomato, a spoiled rich child if you may ask.

"By the way what is such an important clan member doing in this train."

"Ehmm..."

"And why were you stuffed inside a sack by those guys."
