Chapter 9
Ready, Set, Study!
Once they stepped foot on the academy they were guided towards their dorm. They are not suppose to stay as neighbors but due to some certain circumstances they are placed next to each other. If the Princess ever need something, they're just next doors.
They changed into the school's welcoming uniform. A white long sleeve with heather bolero blazer on top and mauve skirt on girls and mauve slacks for boys.
A white long sleeve with heather bolero blazer on top and mauve skirt on girls and mauve slacks for boys
You can see the majority of students wearing the same thing from elementary to college. The fabric of the uniform is made from guanaco. The color is from the touch of purple, just a different shade. It means wealth, royalty, luxury, spiritualism, creativity, magical and mystery.
The students came from the respectable families of nobles from Gigracrea and Brahmczesk. The conservatoire is built between the border of the two Empires. It is basically the sign of their peace treaty.
When they were on their way to the school gymnasium someone on their back dared to push Chiara.
"Oh my! I didn't mean to push the Princess of Gigracrea." She smiled evily.
'There, I will reveal your true nature Crown Princess of Gigracrea. I will stole your husband the Crown Prince!'
The Brahmczesk people doesn't know that Chiara is the only heir to the throne and the only remaining direct member of the Severinas.
'Oh? Is this how I will be treated here? I see...' If she thinks that will destroy her image, Chiara has a better plan.
Joseph raised his dagger and pointed it on the girl's neck.
"You can't hurt her highness, not in my watch." He said emotionlessly.
While Clara covered the girl's eyes and whispered something.
"Are you asking for your death? If so, I will grant your wish."
Chiara said:
"Stop what you're doing Joseph, Clara. We don't have time to mess with a nobody."
The two can feel the tension and horror that is happening right now. Chiara released a little bit of bloodlust from her body. She smiled sheepishly. They let go of the girl and left her like that.
"Now if you'll excuse me." She smiled again.
The girl stumbled on her stance and screamed like a frightened rat.
"AHHHHHH!"
They arrived on the gymnasium all eyes are on them. Everybody suspected that Joseph is the Crown Prince because of his golden yellow locks and blue orbs. His pointed nose and sharp jawline at a young age.
As they sat on the empty seat in the middle whispers can be heard.
"Is that the Crown Prince? Wow he's so cool."
"How did that girl managed to seduce the Crown Prince?"
Chiara smiled frantically.
"These fucking Brahmczeskian people are so stupid. They're getting on my nerves."
Clara gulped and said:
"My lady, please control your temper, hold it please."
"I know and I will."
'That's my lady!' Clara screamed on her head proudly.
A curly hair girl went up the stage and grabbed the microphone.
"Ehe-em! Silence. We call upon the Headmaster to give us a heartwarming and inspirational message." Miss Domini said.
"Good morning students! Welcome to Krizantema Conservatoire, the only academy that is built between the border of two respectable Empires. It's a luxurious and only intellectual children can attend here. So you must prove yourselves that you really did deserve this opportunity. Therefore, all students here are treated fairly, your titles doesn't matter here. Thank you for listening."
Another teacher grabbed the mic. He's wearing an eyeglasses.
"Thank you for the opening message, Headmaster Maggiore. Now we will call the chosen student of the year from the freshman to recite her speech. The one who got the highest score in written exam from Gigracrea Empire, Chiara Natala von Severina."
"What?! How did that girl managed to have the honor to do the speech?"
"Maybe she paid the school!"
"She doesn't deserve it."
"What can that kid even do?"
"This is highly unacceptable!"
I forgot to mention this but all of the teachers are from Brahmczesk.
'I am not informed in this kind of thing but, I should thank my previous father for always preparing me for unexpected happenings.'
She stood up proudly and walked through the stage all eyes are on her.
She tapped the mic that caused a high pitched noise. She caught all the attention of everyone and smiled calmly.
"Good day teachers, professors, students and faculty members of this honorable school. This new school year is an exciting time for us, youngsters as we embark on new learning adventures. Each year will bring significant transitions and the acquisition of new abilities that will improve each of ourselves capacity to apply what we've learned in a variety of ways.
The Krizantema Conservatoire is dedicated to delivering a tough and rigorous curriculum that allows each student to advance at their own pace while maintaining a safe atmosphere.
Our diligent and professional custodians spent the entire time preparing for our arrival. All indications lead to another fantastic and fruitful academic year. I am sure that Krizantema Conservatoire is a happy and caring community dedicated to developing responsible, compassionate students and supporting high-level learning."
She stared at the teachers who seemed to be surprised by her. They thought that they can sabotage the Gigracrea's Crown Princess but no, not a chance in forever.
Chiara mouthed:
"Surprise!" And smiled wickedly.
She then left the stage and walked with her forehead up and sat back at her seat.
"T-thank you for the wonderful parlance Miss Severina."
Headmaster Maggiore bit his fingertips and thought:
'What the hell? Where did it go wrong? It's supposed to embarrass her and destroy that image of hers.'
Gigracrea students are celebrating inside their heads right now, they are so proud that their Crown Princess is always prepared. The Gigracrean commoners are poorly treated here, so they might as well consult this matter to their Crown Princess.
The opening ceremony went on and on, and finally it ended. Chiara sighed, she's really annoyed right now. Luckily they are on the same classes which she forged beforehand.
"Pwincess! It's been a while!"
She looked at where the vouce came from.
"Sia?!" She was shocked to see her.
"I'm hiw too Pwincess..."
"Me thwee!"
"Cora and Bea too? Why didn't you tell me in your letters that you guys are going to study here too?"
"It's supposed to be a surprise!" Beatrice said cheerfully.
"How about you Pwincess, why didn't you tell us?"
'I mean, yeah you didn't asked me.'
"Please refrain from calling me Princess here, we're inside the academy and besides, like what Headmaster Maggiore said, our titles doesn't matter here."
"T-then, is it okay for me to call you Nati like Harley do?" Lia said.
'Wait, what? Harley? Who the heck is that? Oh, wait...Avalon?! My cousin?!'
"It's fine, you guys can call me that too." She told Bea and Cora. "You guys can call me like that too..." She told Joseph and Clara.
The door swung open and it revealed the curly hair girl; Miss Domini.
"Please stop with the chitchat..." She opened the box that she's holding and gave it to the girls. "Tie your hair with that." Miss Domini ordered.
Clara offered to tie her hair but Chiara insisted in doing so. When she was tying her hair, it revealed her inner hair, the purple hair that she inherited from his father. It almost seemed like a style that only she has.
'Violet hair?!' Miss Domini thought.
"Excuse me Miss, can you perhaps tell me who your father is?" The man who tapped her shoulder behind her said.
"That's fine." She looked at the man and she's as shock as the man, because the man behind her has the same physical characteristics as her father.
'Is he my father's illegitimate child?!'
"My father's name is Arden Hordecai von Severina. He's a Ralacie back when he's unmarried." She said.
'Arden Hordecai? Isn't that the name of-no, no, it's impossible. A lot of man can be named Arden Hordecai.' The man on her back thought.
"O-oh I see. I'm Exchequer Jurisprudence van Fitzwilliam."
'The Crown Prince of Brahmczesk?! Did father had an affair with her mother?! OMG! Mother did he cheated on you?!'
"N-nice to meet you."
"Ehe-em! Let's now continue. I am Alison Domini, I'll be your etiquette teacher from now on. I expect a lot of good things from this class."
"For sure Miss Teresita will outstand everyone in this class!"
"Of course, I am perfect after all."
"I don't want any nuisances when I am teach you. Be quiet and don't be boastful."
First and foremost she taught them how to greet the teachers when they are going inside their classrooms. The right way to stand up and sit.
'I already know it all...'
Chiara's etiquette teacher is Martha, the dominator of the social circle in Gigracrea.
"The Princess already knows it..." Joseph muttered to his self.
The eyes of their classmates is focused on Chiara, finding any possible loopholes and imperfections on Chiara. But of course she won't even flinch a bit because of their stares. She's enjoying this.
"Chiara! You're doing it wrong!" Said by Domini.
She smirked under her breath.
"I just did what you said, I just followed your instructions Miss, so aren't you the one who's wrong?"
Domini's eyes grew large and she kinda stuttered, just a bit.
"N-no, it's maybe my fault..." She's sweating bullets.
'So cool! Our Princess! My friend!' Cora thought.
Chiara and her overwhelming aura intimidated the whole class, Joseph and Clara is so proud and amazed of her like they're her parents. Like a mother and father proud of their child of what she had just obtained.
'That's right you lowlifes, be scared of her, our Crown Princess!' Clara thought.
The class ended and soon enough the lunchtime came. She's being bumped by a lot of people but she didn't even lose her composure.
"You're so cool!!!" Bea exclaimed. "Your really my idol!"
Once they got their lunches someone sat with them.
"May I sit with you?" He said.
It's Exchequer Jurisprudence, Chiara's suspected half-brother.
'Is he here to ask things about our father? Oh no!'
Without thinking Cora spouted nonsense:
"Oh! He looks exactly like Emperor Arden Hordecai von Severina!"
Bea realized it too soon and covered Cora's mouth.
'Cora please have a break in your mouth.' Bea plead in her brain.
Chiara gulped and said:
"You can sit with us, Exchequer, sir." She said without forgetting the formality in it.
"Thank you." He smiled.
They ate in silence and Joseph saw Clara has a crumbs in her lips so he picked up a table napkin and wiped her mouth.
"What was that?!" Mad Clara asked.
"I'm just cleaning your lips, you messy eater!" Joseph replied.
"Hu! You guys look good together!" Cora said, again.
'Cora, you really need a break in your mouth.' Bea thought to herself, again.
The afternoon class is suspended due to some circumstances. When Chiara went to the comfort room, someone kneeled one knee in front of her bowing her head.
"Crown Princess Chiara Natala von Severina, the Crown Princess of Gigracrea, I swore my loyalty to you and swore to become your loyal tattler and myrmidon."
"Raise your head, subordinate. I shall accept you."
She stood up and said:
"Hah! Thank you for accepting me, Princess. I will communicate with you through a black cuckoo." She soon left the comfort room.
Meanwhile in the meeting hall of teachers, they are having a debate about a certain decision.
"The Crown Princess of Gigracrea, shamed me in front of our class!"
"Oh my goodness!"
"That's cruel!"
"She's terrifying! I love it!"
"We can't just expell a student just because she pointed out the truth in your class, Miss Domini." The young hot Professor Alemanni pointed out.
A lot of muttering noises were heard but soon after, the Headmaster Maggiore decided not to expel Chiara, he said, it's pointless to do it.
The nighttime came and Chiara left the room and went on the balcony, on the neighboring balcony, she saw Exchequer staring at the night sky.
Her hair is tied up in a messy bun and Exchequer accidentally looked at her direction and saw her purple hair shining together with the stars.
"The stars are beautiful, ain't they?"
"Yes they are, and they're shining like our hair." He pointed out.
Chiara looked shocked at him and he laughed.
"Only those who have royal blood in Brahmczesk have a purple hair and they only shines at night."
"Then, you mean?"
He laughed hard.
'Why is he laughing so much?'
"We're not half siblings or what. We're most likely cousins." He smirked.
"You mean? My father? Huh?!"
"Yes he is." Exchequer laughed really hard that night.
