The news of the Prince entering the academy spread like wildfire throughout the whole Amorite Kingdom.
Many people thought that sending the Prince to an academy was a form of punishment for him, while others took advantage of the opportunity to plot how to get close to the Prince.
In a major academy called Cypress Academy, students and professors began whispering to one another and appeared to be waiting for someone as they gathered around the academy's gates.
...
"Hey, Luna are you also interested in seeing the Prince?" Emily asked.
"..." Luna was silent.
"Heh... I heard the Prince was so handsome, I wonder what he looks like." Emily said while keeping her gaze on the gates.
"Sup, Why don't you go out with me instead of waiting for the Prince, Luna?"
Suddenly, a voice from behind the two girls was heard, interrupting their 'one-sided conversation'.
Luna and Emily turned their heads towards it and saw three men, the one who spoke before being the middle one, with beige hair and dark brown pupils that shimmer golden when the sun touches them. Lauron Ronove the eldest son of Marquis Keir Ronove. Being the son of a marquis and a friend of Duke Malphas Grenville's only son, Cale Granville, makes him even more egotistical.
Emily gazed at Luna, unsure of how she would respond. Luna was known as the most beautiful female demon at the academy, and all boys nicknamed her the Frost Queen because she constantly wore an icy and disinterested expression.
Luna raised an eyebrow slightly seeing Lauron and his friends, or more like dogs before saying.
"Piss off."
"Your still cold as ever Luna, but I'm sure when my father talk's to your family, at that time you will surely be mine." Lauron said while gazing Luna's body with unhidden lust before walking away with his boys.
"That bastard." Emily gritted her teeth as she saw the unhidden lust in Lauron's gaze.
"Emily, that's enough." Luna spoke.
"Are you sure you're not going to file a complaint? When you do it, I'm sure a lot of people will support you." Emily said while gazing at the people watching the scene. Emily was sure that the people observing the scene saw what Lauron's expression.
"There's no need to file a complaint in such a small matter like this." Luna replied with indifferent expression.
"Still, you can't jus-" Emily was about to continue her statement when she was cut off by a random voice.
"Look, the Prince is here."
The two girls then turned their heads towards the gate.
...
We only take one hour to travel to Ifalphis from Fropus by using the warp gates in Fropus. Except for Agares, all of the servants and guards who were riding with us had exited the carriage and were now staying at the enormous estate where we will be living in Ifalphis.
"Mmm... Mhm..." Hearing a humming beside. I saw my younger sister looking at the scenery outside.
"Are you excited?" I asked with a bright smile.
My sister turned her gaze after hearing my voice and said with unhidden excitement, "Yes!"
"Oh! Dad said that the Principal herself will be the one to teach me, so I won't be with Big Brother. Hehehe..." She added with still a bright smile.
I was dumbfounded for moment because Dad didn't told me this one. I don't know who's the Principal but, if Dad approved of it then there's no problem.
As I thought of this our carriage had came to a halt. I gaze at the window where Agares was riding on his Dark Horse, but before I can ask what happened, I was amazed by the sight outside.
I stepped outside the carriage, following me was Lilin. Who appears to be also amazed by the sight of the Academy. The campus itself was enormous. There was an abundance of other extravagantly decorated
carriages, but not as majestic as ours. Some twice as long as normal carriages with different strange demonic beasts pulling them. Many pompous-male-looking students confidently stepping out of carriages, their weapons decorated to signify whether they were a swordsman, spearman, or a bowman, while the girls have some kind of magic wand decorated beside their waist.
"Your highness, we have arrived at the Academy."
I was awoken from my amazement when I heard Agares voice. It was just now that I noticed the campus becoming crowded as students keep coming out to take a glance at our direction.
'I guess this is just normal since the royal family doesn't really attend the academy in their youth days.' I thought.
Suddenly, a middle aged man walk out of crowd and bowed 90 degrees towards us and said, "Prince Afron and Princess Lilin, it is an honor on having the both of you in our humble academy. My name is James Walter a professor. I am tasked by the Principal to guide the Princess, where she would be taking her studies with the Principal herself."
James, mentioning the Princess quickly attracted the ears of all most boys in the campus. They then started looking for her. When they spotted a beautiful, and charming eight-year-old female demon behind the Prince, their eyes started to sparkle. And Afron didn't like this as he could feel his younger sister being intimidated by their gazez.
*BOOM*
Suddenly an explosion was heard by everyone, making them woke up from their own dreams. Looking where the explosion had came from they saw a bearded old man with his large sword thrusted through the ground, it was Agares.
Agares didn't also like the gazes of the people around, the way they looked at the Prince and Princess. He was tasked by the King and Queen to protect the Prince and Princess at all cost, and the way they looked. He didn't like it.
Everyone who saw Agares immediately cowered in fear. James on the other hand much nearer than others, was sweating profusely.
"Hiiik! It's the 'Old Demon Agares'." A random person spoke in quite low voice, but everyone heard it since it was silent.
Afron, of course also heard this, 'Old Demon Agares, huh.' What a weird yet cool title you got there Agares!
He thought.
Agares on the other heard this. Despite being an old demon couldn't helped but turned quite red from embarrassment.
Afron then turned his gaze towards Agares and spoke, "Agares you go with Lilin and guard her, I can take care of myself."
Agares also knows the strength of the Prince, so there's no reason for him to refuse the order. "Yes."
After hearing Agares, Afron shifted his gaze towards his younger sister behind her. Seeing the eyes of her sister with different emotions such us, curiosity, fear, and happiness he didn't know if he should laugh or be angry.
"Lilin you go with Agares and that man" Afron pointed at James, "So that you can meet the Principal. We will be meeting again after your class." Afron said with a gentle smile.
"Mhm... Okay." Lilin and replied in a low voice but you could clearly see the happiness in her eyes. Agares and James then started walking guiding Lilin to the Principal. As they walk Afron could see some of the boys still clearly sticking their eyes towards his little sister. Afron didn't think of this too much as long as Agares is guarding his sister everything should be alright.
Afron started walking walking in the direction where his class is, even though he didn't know the location. He just ask someone for direction, though some of them have different reaction when he asked them.
Standing in front of a door with the name 'Class-A1' written on it Afron reach his hand towards the handle and opened it.
Afron after opening the door was greeted by long, 'Silence'.
Clearly feeling the awkwardness of the situation he was in. Afron started walking towards the first seat he saw.
Luna, on other hand seeing the Prince heading towards her direction. She felt her heart beating faster for some reason, and she didn't know that 'reason'.
A face that could make even any demon captivated.
'He's so handsome.' Luna thought, but that thought was quickly cut off.
"Is this seat still vacant?" Afron asked with a slight smile trying not to show his nervousness.
Luna, hearing the question bowed slightly and said, "Yes, your highness."
After hearing her respond, Afron then seated while trying to ignore the countless eyes, as if he was weird animal.
Not long after Afron seated, a green haired middle aged woman with a pale skin, blood red eyes, and a matured beauty came inside. Even an idiot would know that she is a professor.
Professor Jane on the hand, seeing the Prince she bowed her head slightly, then continue walking towards the center of the class.
"Good morning to all of you. My name is Jane Van Renesse. I will be your Demonic Energy teacher starting today. You can call me Professor Jane."
After Professor Jane finished introducing herself, she started her lesson. Most of them was already taught by teacher Hecate. After a few hours her time ended. Another Professor then entered after she leave. It was a person I know.
"Hello everyone. My name is James Walter and I will be your Professor on history." He spoke in an indifferent expression.
"So let's start from the beginning of everything, the first Demon King; Lucifer Orpheus." Afron perked up when he heard his words and interest started to glow in my eyes.
James also looked at Afron wanting to know his reaction. Seeing the smile in his face, James gave the Prince a small nod. After that he continued his lesson.
Few hours had passed since Professor James lesson and his time seems to end soon.
"... It was said that Demon King Lucifer died in a battle against an army of angels alone. It was also said that Demon King Lucifer survived by using half of his life force killing all the angels. Though we don't know which one is true. We all know that Demon King Lucifer is a great King." After those words James closed the book he was holding and said, "That's all for today. We will continue our discussion tomorrow. You may now enjoy your lunch" James spoke those final words before exiting the classroom.
After hearing those words Afron stood up, and headed towards the Principal's office to get his younger, but when he arrived. Agares told him that the Princess wants to have a lunch with the Principal, and he should not worry since she's having fun learning from Principal.
Afron was really curious about who's the Principal after hearing what Agares told him. So he asked, but the reply caught him off guard.
"It's Hecate Snova your highness." Agares spoke.
"Ehh... Ehhhh!" Afron was dumbfounded for a moment after hearing the name 'Hecate'.
It took him a few minutes to recover. After knowing that the Principal is his teacher Hecate. He decided it was okay to leave his sister to her. Afron then headed towards the cafeteria.
When he arrived at the cafeteria, he felt the same awkwardness he felt when he entered the classroom.
'Pure silence! A total silence!'
Afron started walking towards where the food is, while trying not to be affected by the awkwardness.
"I want this. I also want that. Put some of those also." Afron spoke.
The person incharge of the food wake up from his thoughts after hearing a voice. Seeing who was the person who speak. Her throat seems to go dry.
'Gulp'
"Y-yes your highness." She then started to put the food he chose.
After getting the food, Afron started walking to a vacant seat. Seeing the same girl he had a conversation before, and also his seat mate. Afron's heart seems to calm down a little.
Luna on the other hand, seeing the Prince heading towards his direction again. Her heart started beating loudly.
"Is this seat still vacant?" Afron spoke the same question before.
"Uh... Y-yes." Every lunch time Luna would always wait for Emily to finish her class, for them to eat together. That's why there is always a vacant chair across her. Every time a boy who wants to have a conversation with her sit their. She would immediately chase them away, but if they weren't obedient, she would do it by force.
But for some unknown reason it seems to be different today.
"Thanks." Afron said as he seated.
"By the way, what's your name?" Afron asked.
Luna, hearing his voice was startled by his sudden question, but it was so quick that it was all unnoticed.
"Lunette Scarlett, that's my name. You could also call me Luna." Luna spoke in a low voice, but Afron heard it all.
"I'm Afron Orpheus. You can call me Afron. Nice to meet you Luna." Afron replied with a smile.
Everyone watching this had different expressions. Some were jealous, envy. Others thought Luna was just a bitch wanting power.
