"Rise and shine morning princess," Mia said, opening the curtains for the bright warm golden sunlight to shine through Romilda's transparent window.
" Mia...," Romilda groaned rising to sit on her bed while giving Mia an annoying look.
"It's your first-day training and you already plan on going late," Mia queried giving her an intense look.
"what is by the time," Romilda questioned with sleepy eyes which she was rubbing with her hands to prevent them from actually doing what they want.
"It's almost eight," Mia replied giving her a mocking look, Romilda suddenly had a shocked and frightened look on her face as she quickly got up from her bed and ran into the bathroom leaving Mia to laugh all by herself.
when she was done with her morning routine in the bathroom, she put on the white dress Mia brought for her, it was a knee-length flare gown with raven buttons on the chest, a white pair of long socks, and a black pair of cover shoes.
Romilda went to look at herself in the mirror when she was done dressing, she admired how different she was looking, she feels blessed to have found her way to Aneria.
"Come on, you're already late Romilda," Mia groaned, as Romilda gave her a sorry look before going to consume the sandwich and hot chocolate drink Mia brought for her.
"Can I get a kitchen of my own," Romilda told her eating her food quickly she loves the way Mia brought food for her but she wanted to start cooking herself.
"I can have that arranged today if you want," Mia told her shrugging her shoulders
"It's not as if I don't like the way you bring my meals for me every time, I want to start doing it by myself, just in case you get tired of babysitting me," she said the last part as a joke.
"I understand your point though but you shouldn't be worried about me getting tired of helping you I love helping you and I understand that you want to be independent so I will help you do it, after school,"
"thank you so much," Romilda appreciated before continuing her food.
Romilda and Mia finally arrived at the temple, race walking to meet priestess Minerva who was already standing behind the door with a frown on her face
"you're late today Romilda," priestess Minerva huffed giving her an Icy stare
"I'm sorry...,"
"no... I'm sorry it's my fault," Romilda interjected before mia could finish what she was saying.
"I hope you won't make this a regular behavior," the priestess questioned staring with half-lidded eyes.
"I promise it won't happen again," Romilda said biting In her lips and giving minimal eye contact with the priestess, after a few minutes of silence, priestess Minerva finally heave a sigh.
"you can leave now Mia dear,"
"ok, I'll see you later, romilda," Mia told Romilda who just nodded her head and watch her leave.
"Come with me child," priestess Minerva said, bringing back Romilda's attention, they finally stop behind the music class Romilda saw yesterday.
"This is your first class for today, Mrs. Hilary is the name of your teacher, I have already informed her about you, I wish you good luck on your first day," Priestess Minerva told her before walking away.
Romilda walked into the music class shyly as everywhere became quiet and every eye in the room was staring at her.
"Hello, you must be the new student priestess Minerva was talking about," Mrs. Hillary asked in a soft sweet tone with glasses on, she was a very tall lady with an imp thin body figure, she looked like someone in her fifties and her smile was quite charming.
"well how about you introduce yourself to us," Mrs. Hilary said walking towards her to drag her gently to the middle of the class before whispering a "don't be shy," at her.
"good morning class, my name is Romilda, and am now in Aneria kingdom,"
"Welcome to Aneria and it Witcher's school, I hope and am sure you will love it here if you are on your best behavior," she instructs Romilda before turning to the rest of the students.
"ok students, I don't want anyone bullying our new student ok, try to be nice and friendly with her," she instructed everyone in class before turning back to Romilda.
"so Romilda you can take a seat in any empty chair you find comfortable,"
they were two empty chairs, one in the back of the class and one near the window, she didn't want anyone to classify her as a nerd if she sat at the back so she decided to take the one near the window.
"Okay class, before we start today's class I would love to tell you all the benefits of learning music as a Witcher, the first reason is that music helps us to tell a story and help build our listener's emotion, it enhances our creativity in magic and also helps to us to connect with Souls and beings from other Realms, music boost or passion and build-up of confidence that's why we Witcher study music," she paused picking up a little stick from her desk.
" you all should bring out your instruments now, Romilda dear, do you know how to play any instrument," she asked.
in the Wolfpack Romilda's siblings and Lisa always goes to school, she has seen Becky playing a harp in one of her school performance but has never played any musical instruments in her life, her parents didn't take her to school because they claimed the wasn't money for her.
"no, I...I don't know how to play any instruments," she responded as the rest of the kids began to laugh at her.
"That's enough, you all shouldn't be mocking the new student just because you know better than her," she howled at the students before giving her a sad encouraging smile.
"don't mind them Romilda dear, that's why you are here to learn and I'm sure you'll be an expert in less time, you just have to start from somewhere," she said before moving to the shelf that had some musical instruments placed on it.
she finally picked a violin after a few minutes of trying to decide which instrument to pick before moving towards Romilda.
"how about you try this one dear, I chose the violin cause it seems to fit your nice and mild personality, it's also one of the easiest instruments to play," She handed it to Romilda who took it from her admiring how elegant it is.
"for you to learn it quickly I have decided to choose Ian as your substitute music teacher after class," Mrs. Hilary said as some group of boys began staring at her, the boy at the center was staring at her the most, his cold gaze fixed on the anxious Romilda, who averted her eyes from him afraid his deep blue eyes might pierce into her skin.
"I'm not doing it," he said in a flat dead, deep tone.
"Oh, yes you are as your punishment for using dark magic on that poor boy yesterday," Romilda bulge her eyes out after hearing what Mrs. Hilary said.
"she honestly doesn't expect him to teach me," Romilda can't help but worry about herself.
throughout the class, Ian has been sending an evil glare at her and has been smirking whenever she stared back at him.
Romilda can't help but feel that the was something going on in his mind, like his plotting an attack on her, she hopes he won't add her to his prey list or maybe something might change Mrs. Hilary's mind later.
