Reborn: I'm A Dragon Girl With An OP System-Novel

I was currently standing in my new bedroom with my arms crossed in front of my chest while tapping my left foot off the ground, staring at a certain princess who was currently kneeling on the ground with her head lowered. “Care to explain?”

“Well, I thought that maybe you would like to wake up every morning to see me smiling back at you?” Adel answered while raising her head, but I squinted my eyes at her, causing her to quickly lower her head.

I really wished I knew what went on inside Adel’s head, but this was just creepy! Who would want to wake up to a big picture of someone smiling back at them! While the picture was very well done and was at least proper in how it was painted, the problem was that it was huge and hanging over my head! It would give me nightmares! “Take it down!”

“But!” Adel seemed very reluctant about this, but I did not care!

“Take it down. Adel, you are a very good friend, my best friend at that, but this is just too much. I do not wish to have nightmares!” I’m sorry, Adel, but I had to say it!_-.

“Nightmares!?” Adel looked as if I had just stabbed her in the heart, but what can I say? Even if it was a picture of my own mother, I would find it creepy as can be. Even if  I was lovers with someone, I would never allow such a thing.

“Adel, you could put anyone up there in the same painting, and I would say the same thing. My mother, brother, or my father. It would all result in the same words coming out of my mouth. Take it down!” I hope, at least by saying this, she wouldn’t be as depressed.

“Fine….” Adel pouted as she stood up and looked at the painting. “That was the best one too….”

I sighed and looked out to the living area and saw that the walls were quite bare out there. “Have them hang it on the wall in the living area.”

“Okay!” Adel perked up very quickly after hearing my words. Seeing her smile made me feel slightly better. I know I was kind of harsh just now, but I really couldn’t stop myself when something this was done.

Now that rooms were set, it was now time for lunch. As I walked out to the back yard, I noticed Sophie had her head lowered this entire time. “Sophie? Is something wrong?”

“Ahhh… No.” Sophie shook her head as she raised it to look at me. “I was just thinking. This entire time I had been sleeping in the same bed as you and thought it would be strange to sleep alone again. That and I was wondering if it was okay for me to accept your kindness like this. I mean, my room is big enough for a princess….. As a commoner, I could stay in a small room made for servants. I do not think….”

“Enough of that, Sophie. I do not want to hear any more words about commoners. Don’t forget I am one as well. We are cut from the same cloth. I am just a bit special because I seem to be overpowered. But nonetheless, you will be going to the same school as Adel and me. You will be walking the hallways with us, so you must never lower your head and give the snotty noble kids a chance to look down on you. We will show the nobles that even use commoners are amazing people who will do amazing things. And if they try to bother you, then punch them in the face like I did that one girl.”

“Yes! Listen to Faith. You have the kingdom’s only princess as your backer, so punch anyone you want except me, Faith, or the king and queen.” Adel added with a proud look on her face.

“Wait, what about me and our brothers!?” I chuckled at Prince Lance’s outburst.

“Huh? Why would I include you stinky brothers?” Adel asked with a look that said are you stupid? You are nothing. Go away.

“Alright, be nice. Sophie, only punch Prince Lance if he tries to hit on you. Or looks at you in the wrong way. Tries to touch any part of your body. Or even appears in front of you.” I said in a teasing voice.

“Am I supposed to never leave my room!?” Prince Lance yelled out once more.

“”That sounds perfect!”” Adel and I both said at the same time. We looked at each other and began laughing. Even Sophie smiled at this.

“You two! Don’t gang up on me!” Prince Land huffed as he walked over to the table that was filled with food and sat down. He then grabbed a pastry from the table and shoved it in his mouth.

He was definitely an interesting character. Easily bullied by the girls around him. At least it will make for fine entertainment at home as long as things do not go too far. “Ummmmm. Can you all not forget about me? I am here too, you know!”

I turned to see Sei walking all alone as if she had no friends causing me to chuckle. “You were so quiet I forgot you were even here.”

“That’s because I couldn’t say a word with how you all have known each other for so long!” Sei replied.

“That is true, but you have known Adel for quite a while, have you not?” I asked. I mean, she would always send messages back and forth and would go to talk with Adel personally, so I figured they were very well acquainted by now.

“Yes, but only at a professional level, not as friends… Every time we have spoken to each other, it was either about you or something important that related to the kingdom. Never anything personal.” I see, so it seems Sei wanted to be friends with Adel as well but can’t because of her status. I guess rank and duty does make things like that impossible sometimes.

“Well, forget about your duty from now on. You are now I, Adel Gravos’s friend!”
