Who Made Me a Princess

Chapter 100

“Then is there someone else beside you here?”

The girl asked, like I was being strange.

Gasp, was she seeing me right now?! But no one spoke to me! Did my magic come off when I wasn’t aware?

“Oh, but you’re not wearing a uniform. Are you an outsider just sitting in?”

“Yeah.”

I ended up answering. Uh, although technically, I snuck it. But thankfully, it seemed like outsiders were allowed to sit in during lectures. I was relieved at the girl’s understanding.

“Oh. I thought you were a student because you were so familiar. Oh wait, are you a senior?”

“N, No.”

T, This situation was awkward. Why had the magic suddenly come off? There wasn’t a reason why it wouldn’t listen to me. Ah, was it actually a good thing it came off now?

“Okay…then I’ll be off first.”

She tilted her head, thinking something was strange, and turned back around.

I narrowed my eyes questioningly. Then this meant I might not be able to teleport suddenly if my magic didn’t work. Then how was I supposed to go outside?

But then she suddenly paused in the doorframe, and whipped her head back at me.

“Ackk!”

I jumped in surprise at her shocked shout.

“The missing princess of Obelia!”

“Gasp!”

“Yeah! I saw you in the viewing stone!”

The female student’s eyes widened in understanding. I stood there, frozen, not able to speak.

The student walked towards me in disbelief. Everytime her shoes clacked on the ground, I flinched.

“I’m correct, right? You’re Princess Obelia?”

“Y, You mistook me for someone else!”

“Ah, wait!”

I immediately tried to teleport away. Magic, please listen to me this time!

Whoosh!

Thankfully, the girl started to become blurry and when I opened my eyes again, I was standing smack dab in the middle of a grass field.

“Shoot.”

I thought my heart was gonna beat out of my chest! I felt like I was gonna die because it was beating so fast.

I plopped down between the grass. My goodness, what exactly was that person to be able to recognize me like that. Didn’t she say something about a viewing stone? Did the viewing stones Claude send out already get to Atlanta?

Because I was so shocked, I was shaking. I grabbed my head and screamed.

Wasn’t that girl going to tell the palace right away that I was here? But since she saw me disappear right in front of her eyes, it didn’t matter. And I was in this field now.

Dang, I was so surprised because this was the first time someone recognized my face so fast. W, Wow. How thrilling.

I lied down on the grass to somehow calm myself down.

I thought I would be able to stay in Atlanta for a while, but I got caught faster than ever.

Aw. Then where was I supposed to go? I didn’t have to go back since I could just make money.

I continued to think on the grass and flicked my finger again.

“Ugh, the professor assigned 4 assignments today.”

“3 for me. Are they trying to kill us?’

I sighed, feeling the breeze in my hair. It felt different looking at the sun from the roof.

Right now, I was in the school from earlier.

After all, they said the beacon didn’t shine on itself, so if Atlantan people found out that I was in Atlante, this was the last place they’d look if that girl said she saw me here.

Wouldn’t it be difficult for them to think that I would come back here? I, If not, never mind. Ahem.

I was watching everyone’s movements with my invisibility magic on the rooftop. But I had this strange feeling from before.

Did that student not tell others she saw me? It was quiet not only in school, but outside as well. And it wasn’t like security had gotten tighter either.

“Hm.”

I looked down at the students down below.

I wanted to change my outfit to the uniform and shamelessly walked around, but I thought it would be rude so I didn’t. Yeah, wearing a uniform at my age wasn’t right. Ugh.

So I decided to return to where I was staying after the sunset and continued to look at the sun. Ah, this was nice.

“Cough cough.”

Hm? I heard the sound of someone pretending to cough…..

“Uh, sorry to speak to you so suddenly. But it’s a bit dangerous there. It could be slippery because it rained yester…..”

I looked over towards the direction of the sound. And I screamed at the close face.

“Ack!”

I backed up, and suddenly, my body started to slide down!

“It’s dangerous!”

Thankfully, someone grabbed my hand just in time.

Why! This was such a creepy school! Why are you doing this to me!

“Come up carefully. And don’t let go of my hand.”

I found out the place I had been was near a small window, and entering it, I realized I was in a small attic room. Why did a school have an attic?

“Uh, it’s a bit messy because it’s a storage room…..”

Oh, a storage room. I calmed myself down and looked at the female student looking at me. It was the silver-haired girl from the lecture hall, and she looked like she was embarrassed to be with me in the storage room.

I warily stepped back.

“H, How did you know I was on the roof?”

“Mm. I saw you when I was passing by.”

She spoke with an abashed face.

Ahhh! She was like a ghost!

I tried to use my magic again. But she quickly shook her hand with a troubled face like she realized what I was trying to do.

“Um, wait a minute. I won’t tell anyone. I haven’t told anyone about what happened in the lecture hall either.”

I looked at her with suspicion, but it seemed like she was telling the truth. And she didn’t seem to be planning something behind her back either.

But could I trust her? It would be better if I didn’t teleport away now because my body might not be able to take it after using magic so much…..

Eventually, I hesitatingly put my hand back down. Then the girl stepped back as if to help me be more at ease. I put distance between us and leaned against the window.

But because I was headed towards where the sun was shining, she exclaimed, looking at my face.

“Ah. I thought those eyes were fascinating. It must’ve been because they’re those royal eyes that I heard about.”

I flinched at what she said.

Creak!

But then, the door burst open. The girl and I both jumped at the sound.

“What are you doing here?”

It was a male student with silver hair. That was strange. Silver hair wasn’t that common, so how were the first two people I met at this school both silver-haired? Was silver hair not that rare in Atlanta?

Wait! Was I caught by this male student too? Was I?!

“E, Erich. Since when were you there?”

“Why are you stuttering like a fool?”

But the male student continued to speak to the female student without even looking at me.

“Did you think I’m free enough to follow you around? I just saw you going in this room when I was passing by.”

She snorted and looked around.

“But there’s no one here. I thought I heard people talking. What are you doing here by yourself?”

I was instantly bewildered. What? He was saying there was no one else in this room even though I was standing right here? I saw the eyes of the girl standing next to me being filled with question marks as well.

She wrinkled her nose and thought about something for a while and completely hid the surprise in her face to speak casually to the male student.

“You don’t have to know what I was doing. Just go on your way.”

“You’ll be late to the conference if you don’t leave now. And Professor Thonton is in charge of it.”

“I’ll figure it out. If you don’t want to get in trouble, you leave first. Ah, and thanks for your concern.”

Then, the boy’s eyebrows twitched and he spoke in a cold voice.

“Concern? Don’t make me laugh. Who’s worried? Whether you get in trouble or not isn’t my business. I just said that because you might stain the Earnst family name if you’re late. There’s still 5 minutes left, figure out if you’re still gonna come or not.”

He made an angry face and spun around to leave the storage room.

W, What was that just now. Was he a tsudere? Even though his tone was icy, it seemed like he said it because he was worried. And he even told her that there was 5 minutes left.

Actually, weren’t the two of them kinda similar? Their eyes were different, but they were both silver-haired. And they had a strange aura about them that was similar.
