Chapter 106
Who Made Me a Princess
Translator: HH Editor: HH
Wow, wasnât I a bit like Lucas now? Athanasia, who was lounging around in the Ruby Palace wondering when she was about to die, was now an excellent magician. Wasnât this truly the âtables turned?â
âI donât know. Iâve never heard of that. And lower your voice. This is the library.â
âHey, donât be like that andâ¦â
Their conversation was really cute. I reminisced about my past and rubbed my finger under my nose. Yes, make lots of beautiful memories in your school days! Adios!
When I finished organizing all the books, they turned the corner to where I was. I avoided them and carefully tiptoed out the library.
* * *
âHary, what are you going to do on your vacation?â
âI donât know, I still havenât decided.â
I was used to it now, and could easily walk around the students.
Mm. Itâs also fun because it feels like Iâm filming a spy movie.
I looked for the opportunity and placed what I had in my hand into her pocket.
It was the pendant she dropped in the storage room. She would find it if I sneaked it into her pocket like this.
But I didnât know that she had an amazing gut feeling. Realizing that her pocket was a bit heavier than before, she turned around and met my eyes.
âAaaack!â
She screamed. It was because she turned back without expecting anything and saw me.
âGasp! Whatâs wrong?â
Her friend, and all the students passing by widened their eyes to look at Hary Earnst.
Sweat dripped down my back.
S, Sorry! I didnât know you would realize it this fast andâ¦you acted like you didnât see anything when I approached you before! I didnât know you would recognize me and I was surprised too! Sob.
âN, Nothing. I thought I saw something.â
Hary Earnst made up an excuse and had her hand on her heart like she was still shocked.
âIâm gonna go to the bathroom real quick!â
âDonât say things like that so loud!â
And after grabbing my wrist, she ran with it.
âPrincess, why are you still here?â
A moment later, we entered an empty lecture hall. Hary Earnst closed the door and checked to make sure no one else was in here. She asked me in a low voice.
She looked extremely surprised to see me.
I awkwardly pointed down to her uniform skirt.
âI picked it up in the storage room and thought I should return it.â
Then Hary Earnst seemed to realize what it was she felt earlier. She dug around her pocket.
âAh, I was wondering where it went.â
She seemed to not have known where she lost it. Seeing her face turn soft after pulling the pendant out, I could tell it was important to her.
Grunt. Then should I have used the method I used today earlier?
âI wanted to return it faster but I couldnât find a way so I was late. Sorry.â
âItâs fine. Rather, Iâm thankful, since I thought I wouldnât be able to find it at all.â
âThatâs a magic item, right?â
âMagic item?â
I asked her, sure of myself. But Hary Earnst just looked at me like she didnât know what I was saying.
Ah, this unnie must not know. But I was probably right.
âIf itâs okay, can you give that to me real quick? Just for 10 seconds, no 5 seconds is enough.â
I was even more sure when I met her eyes just now outside, but I would be completely sure when I checked it again. Hary Earnst tilted her head and gave the pendant to me.
âWhoa!â
And the moment the pendant was completely in my hand, her eyes widened.
âCan you see me?â
âN, no.â
I was right! I stood there proud of myself, giving the pendant back to Hary. She jumped when my hand touched hers, and she looked at me with an unbelieving face.
âActually I came back several times to give this back to youâ¦..â
âHm? You came back to the school because of me several times?â
âYes. But you didnât seem to see me like the first time.â
She seemed surprised that I came back to the school to give her the pendant back multiple times.
Hary placed the pendant abc down on the table. Then she tested something herself, and exclaimed.
âWow, thatâs cool.â
I also thought it was cool. An item that could make the effects of magic disappear, that was amazing! And it was probably super expensive.
âHuh? Hey, what are you doing there by yourself?â
Then, the door burst open and an angry voice rang out.
A boy with playful blue eyes and brown hair stepped into the lecture hall. It was Cavelle Earnt, who had asked about his steak.
Hm. But it seems like those brothers were super interested in Hary even though they pretended like they werenât. [TN: Beware of the brothers fans, rise up.]
How did he always know when she was by herself? Hary Earnst looked annoyed by them. Even now, she was looking at him with a bothered expression.
âCavelle, whatâs up?â
âHey, this is the present hyung gave you when you entered the school.â
Cavelle suddenly took the pendant from his little sisterâs hand.
Gasp! No! If you do that nowâ¦!
âCavelle!â
âAck! What the!â
Cavelle screamed with the pendant in his hand. It was clear they were siblings from the way their screams were similar.
He stepped back in surprise seeing me in front of him. Shock filled his eyes. I was looking at him with widened eyes as well.
How could he suddenly take the pendant like that! Both of our eyes shook looking at each other.
But for some reason, Cavelleâs eyes started to turn dreamy again.
And he muttered something that didnât make sense.
âFairyâ¦?â
âGive it back!â
Hary quickly grabbed the pendant from his hand once she came to attention.
His blue eyes that seemed sleepy suddenly found their focus.
âGasp! What was that just now?â
Cavelle frantically shouted, looking around him.
And meâ¦I was frozen, hearing another word like a word like what Ezekiel said, angel.
How could this be! Even angel was too much, but now, fairy? Thatâs for our Diana! Y, Youâre definitely Ezekielâs friend!
âI just saw a fairy! What is this? What happened?â
Wait! I feel like Iâm gonna get caught soon!
I avoided his hand that was reaching out for me. Cavelle was waving his hand in my direction like he couldnât believe what he saw.
Hary Earnt stuttered looking at him doing that.
âW, What are you talking about? How could fairies exist in this world?â
âNo! She was definitely in front of me!â
âDid you dream about it?â
âYou didnât see it? There was a fairy right in front of me! Her hair was twinkling and her eyes were twinkling! There was like! Light behind her!â
S, Stop! Thatâs embarrassing!
âAnd her eyes were especially interesting! They were blue or green and seemed like sparkling jewelsâ¦..â
âThen I guess it was a fairy! Wow, only a fairy would have eyes like that. Then.â
C, Cough!
I choked at what Hary Earnst said.
She seemed to be saying this in case Cavelle realized my identity.
So I became more pained seeing her react excitedly at his words too.
Why are people humiliating me everywhere? But my guard was also down too. Yeah, bother me as much as you wantâ¦
âGasp! But what should we do! I read in a book that we canât talk about seeing fairies to other people.â
âWhy?â
âThen the fairy will hide because theyâre shy. Didnât the fairy disappear the moment you said âfairy?â
âWas that it?â
He really believed that? A 17 year old, not a 7 year old, really believed that?
At least Ezekiel was 10 when he said I was an angel. If he really believed there were fairies in the world, w, wasnât he a bit stupidâ¦
âNo! Then what should I do! Is the fairy not coming now? I canât see the fairy anymore? No! She was the first ideal type that I met! Quickly say that you didnât hear what I said earlier! Cancel it! Quickly!â
Cavelle Earnt even grabbed and shook his little sisterâs shoulders.
Waitâ¦but there werenât actually fairies in this world, right?
