Chapter 233
Party hall.
The students gathered in the huge hall accommodating more than 300 students and 50 staff. I could see the beautiful iris garden connected to the hall and looked around with excitement.
Across the continent, the world’s most prestigious Odis Academy was known as the road to success.
The new students who landed safely on the road to success were filled with many desire.
“Sandra, have you decided on a mentor?”
“I don’t know if they’ll accept it, but there are some people I have in mind.”
“Many freshmen already call dibs on famous seniors. Should we step up too?”
They decided their mentor based on achievement, and family.
There was a famous anecdote that a noble took place as prime minister of the country due to their relationship at the Odis Academy, and another person also become a general through the prince’s brother-in-law.
“Miss Leblaine and Miss Emeline are really enviable. Especially Miss Emily. She’s a commoner, isn’t she? How nice it is to be able to ask her seniors in Elysiano Class to mentor her.”
“It is customary for students who do not have the right to choose mentors first, that they cannot ask for mentors from the Elysiano Class. So unlucky.”
“Who will Miss Emeline choose? One of Dubblede’s young master? She’s close to their sister, so they won’t be able to refuse her easily.”
“Aren’t there the princes of the empire?”
“Sidn’t you know? Andre has already chosen a mentee. But Prince Adrian’s is a problem…”
The woman with orange hair, holding the glass, whispered to Sandra.
“Is there anyone in this school who doesn’t know that he is the prince whp is supported by the temple? There are already people who say that his choice is the choice of the temple. He will either choose Miss Leblaine or Mina.”
“Miss Mina can’t ask for a mentor first.”
“Adrian could choose her. Even if a freshman cannot ask for a mentor to the Elysiano
Class, those in the Elysiano Class can choose.”
The woman with orange hair, who smiled broadly, whispered.
“It’s going to be fun tonight. Truly.”
At that moment, people’s eyes gathered in front of the door.
Mina, wearing an elegant dress delicately embroidered with her hair braided together with flowers, entered the hall.
“Mina.”
Sandra and the woman with orange hair, Palpati, approached her.
“Your dress is very beautiful.”
“It’s not a trendy dress, but… it’s old-fashioned, so it feels rather comfortable.”
As Sandra and Palpati spoke in turn, Mina smiled broadly.
“Really? Alan helped me choose.”
“Ah, I see. It must have been difficult to prepare the dress.”
“Sandra, thank you for the kind words.”
All eyes were focused on Mina.
The freshmen on the first floor, seniors occupying the second floor, and even the staff whispered while looking at Mina.
“The second child of fate with divine power that surpasses that of the Pope..”
“I thought she would be a wild beast because she was from another world, but it was different from what I thought.”
“Does anyone know who the second child of fate chose as a mentor?”
Among those who were chatting, some came down the stairs and approached Mina.
“Oh my God. The seniors coming down to the first floor? The new child of fate is amazing.”
“Look over there. It’s Elysiano Class.”
Elysiano Class, who occupied the most luxurious area on the second floor, leaned against the railing and looked at Mina.
The copper-skinned man raised the corners of his lips as he moved his champagne glass.
“Who is going to choose the new child of fate? Juliet, did you hear anything?”
“I don’t have the time to gossip? Just being here is a waste of time already! Damn it!”
“Being in the Elysiano Class, you have received the experiment funds, private residence, and many more. You should at least do this much. Anyway, haven’t you heard anything, young masters of Dubblede? They’re usually the fastest in knowing information.”
Henry, who was sitting on one side of the sofa closed his book and said,
“I don’t know.”
“You really haven’t heard anything?”
Isaac, who was stirring a glass with a gloomy expression next to Henry, said coldly.
“Don’t disturb me unless you want to die.”
“Why are you guys in such a bad mood today?”
Then the blonde-haired twin brothers, who were drunk and leaning on each other, said:
“Their sister refused the dress they gave her.”
“She refused.”
“It just made them angry.”
“I was there.”
“Crazy guys.”
“Crazy guys.”
The copper-skinned man giggled.
“They were choosing dresses and accesories all day long. I knew it would be like this. Even a four-year-old girl would refuse that kind of pink ribbon dress.”
“Pink suits the kid! Do you know how lovely she is with a ribnon?!”
Then the twin brother once again murmured, “Crazy guys.”
Just then, the hall became noisy once more, and the copper-skinned man raised the corners of his mouth.
“I think black suits her better.”
Leblaine appeared at the venue in an all-black dress adorned with splendid gold and precious stones.
Leblaine who adorned a gorgeous dress was in contrast with Mina’s outfit.
“It’s Sharon’s dress.”
As someone on the first floor spoke, a woman with dark hair approached the copper-skinned man and said.
“It’s the diamond necklace that was only sold on the hope mercenary guild! I couldn’t buy it, how did she do it?”
At those words, the man shook his head.
“A necklace that even the scarlet princess couldn’t get?”
“What a surprise. She’s Lady Dubblede after all. The Dubblede family owned many resources.”
“That’s right…….”
The topic about the first child of fate, which had been obscured by the appearance of the second child of fate, reappeared on the surface.
***
Emeline, who came into the venue with me, tapped my shoulders.
“All eyes are focused on you and Mina? Aren’t you worried it’ll cause a war?”
“I used to worry about that. But I don’t right now.”
I took a step back, looked at Emeline and smiled wickedly.
“Now that I know the mentor system, the more attention I get, the better.”
“What are you talking about?”
“I felt sorry to Mina, but this mentor selection is a battle between me and her. Anyone would want to have the child of fate as their mentee. If we are going to fight regardless of my will, I must win.”
“…….”
“Look, if the person they want as a mentee doesn’t know the etiquette, then what would happen?”
“They will avoid her because they could get a penalty together?”
“That’s right, so what do you think?”
“As expected of Lady Dubblede.”
“Fortunately, it will be easy for me because Mina doesn’t know etiquette yet.”
‘Oh, Dubblede? Come to think of it, there were also young masters of Dubblede in the Elysiano Class.’
“Then there won’t be any seniors trying to hold Mina’s hand because they’re noticing you.”
“If Mina doesn’t get a proper mentor, rumors like this will circulate both inside and outside the school.”
“Then the temple’s plan to use Mina to turn you into a docile puppy will go to waste?”
After a chuckle, Emeline continued.
“You’re a really bad kid.”
“Thanks for the compliment.”
Me and Emeline looked at each other and smiled wickedly.
Just then,
“Good night, Miss Leblaine. My name is Denver, a 3rd year student. If it’s okay with you, there is something I want to discuss regarding the mentor selection.”
“No, talk to me instead. My name is Francois from the 4th grade.”
Look. The seniors who remembered that I’m Lady Dubblede were coming to see me.
On the other hand, only freshmen approach Mina.
I’d rather be someone who used others rather than be used.
‘My life right now is different from the previous ones.’
The Leblaine who believed in goodness and justice, was already sacrificed to the altar. All that was left is the vicious Lady Dubblede.
But an unexpected problem occurred.
“You can’t come close to my sister within three kilometers. Go away!”
“Please move away.”
… The gangsters appeared again.
The seniors who had been rushing in to me started to move away. I pulled my brother coat and said,
“Come on. I have to choose a mentor!”
“It’s up to you, Leblaine.”
“Yes, choose me.”
“No, me.”
Then laughter erupted when the people heard us, as my face turned red.
‘I tried to become the perfect Lady Dubblede but it’s ruined.’
The two of them stuck together and glared at the men around me. So no one dared to approach me.
“Are you going to be like this?”
“Hey, kid. Do you know how annoying a mentor is? You guys have to stick together all the time. What if your mentor’s a pervert?”
“A pervert won’t be my choice!”
“They might not act like it at first, but later… damn!”
As Isaac imagined it, he burst into rage and my head throbbed.
After that,
“Hey, let Miss Leblaine choose on her own. Do you not trust her?”
The copper-skinned man I saw in the meeting room before approached us, behind him was the rest of the Elysiano Class.
“Hello there. Isn’t it tiring to have such a brother?”
He said with a smile. I thought about it from the first time I saw him, but he seems to have a spunky personality.
“My name is Jin.”
“Go away.”
At Isaac’s words, I narrowed my eyes and warned him, “Brother.”
Then, Isaac reluctantly introduced him.
“The successor of the Athar Tribe’s chieftain.”
Behind the copper-skinned man was a woman with jet-black hair.
“How did you get that necklace? I couldn’t get it before. Ah, My name is Hong-hae. Ryu Hong-hae.”
“The scarlet princess.”
This time, the blonde haired twins came closer to me and sniffed.
“She doesn’t smell like a bad person.”
“Yes!”
Isaac shoved the two of them away and shouted.
“Twin Princes of Waynes! East and West, just one more sniffing, I’ll rip your neck.”
These are the princes of Waynes, the land of beasts. They have wolf ears hanging on their heads.
“Isaac, you suck.”
“You suck.”
And the person behind them…
‘Oh my God.’
My mouth unconsciously opened as I covered my mouth. Why is he here!
