"morning Faye I see your off to school?" Ms. Eliza greeted, her scarf almost fallen from her shoulder and a flour stained apron draped around her waist, looks like she had worked overnight at the bakery." yes madam I'll be back by noon "
she smiled and waved goodbye. i continued walking down the narrow road until the large brick wall was in sight 'Oakdale academy' a prestigious school for prestigious noble children and a place where hell awaits me, that's what i get for staining the noble bloodline, according to lady levi i am considered a curse upon this nation.
my mother who was a pristine and free spirited woman, had eloped with her supposed lover(my father)into Akkad, she was considered a wild beast with a humble nature she never once cared for what people called her. Then there was my father who was born and raised in akkad, a noble that everyone adored, the only grim seeyer in the whole of Akkad.
my family was small and perfect i needed nothing more in life, that is until they left this world and behind a little girl with no powers. I was considered useless, nothing more nothing less.
thankfully no one noticed me yet as I walked down the dim-lit hall, just as my luck could have it I'm shoved from behind and fall onto my knees my satchel bag drops and spills its content.
don't they ever give up it's been what.. five years now
I mean it doesn't bother me like it used to, sure I get a few stares here and there but sometimes they even go as far as physically harassing me, I fight the urge to flip off them off as they run ahead giggling.
the hall is almost empty I can't help but sigh of relief, I know all too well a full hallway is always a full pass to humiliation and I have learned my lesson well enough to know better.
i stared at the now closed door, I had gotten the timing wrong again, everything's going to be fine faye i reassured myself before opening the door.
silence fell and they had started mumbling incoherent words amongst themselves, the professor seemed to have stopped whatever he was saying,he stares at me disappointed that i had interrupted his class yet again.
i took my seat at the back like always and as usual a few heads turn, they laugh under their breath some sneer at me like i'm some sort of plague ready to take over. class ended surprisingly early and I headed to the dinning hall
" faye!!" Anne called from the other side of the room her voice loud as ever I walked to the edge of the room where she and her brother a year younger than us sat.
"Hey Anne, darren" he nods without glancing up from whatever he was writting while Anne preps her table for the dining staff plating the foods for each individual.
"Sooo..how did you like it?" She says grinning widely I suppose she was talking about the book that was popular this days.
"I mean it was okay although its quite confusing" she looks up at me as she swallows her food
"What dont you understand?..I mean it's just literally about 2 lovers who cant be together"
" yeah I know that but I mean the author could've at least added one more love interest to spice things up you know" I said clearing a piece of ribs on my plate.
She scoffs picking up a piece too
" well that's you but whichever handsome man wrote that book needs to be given an award, I can almost imagine how he looks oh God let's cross paths just this once "
I laugh at her delusions and cant help but wonder what she would do if she found out her handsome writer is in fact a woman and is sitting right next to her
I could've told her I wrote her favourite book but anne isn't the sharpest tool in the shed and knowing her she'll tell everyone
Not the first time I've gotten in trouble because of her loud mouth
I can't take that risk not at the peak of the reform crisis and knowing how the people would react to a woman writing the most popular book in the entire nation
She continued blabbing on about the book until we were done with our meal leaving her brother who kept writing the whole time.
" oh did you hear, one of the kings son will be starting the year with us"
The kings son? I never knew the king had a son our age.
the royal family had decided to cut half of their inheritance to the throne due to infidelity amongst themselves therefore king henry von Hughes who was originally the second in line to the throne
Had been pronounced king due to his brothers adultry accusations this was enough to cut him off the throne although no one dares to say it but it was a little suspicious
" which one? Von Hughes or the wrights " she stopped in her path staring ahead mouth agape
There he was the kings son you could tell from the attire and of course the 4 knights surrounding him as he walks off into the direction of the headmasters office
Everyone stared, the girls sizing him up while the guys looked puzzled
I couldn't help but stare too, his green eyes scanning the halls as if he were looking for something or rather someone
He turns a corner finally out of our sight, his scent still lingering in the air
Unfortunately that was the only time we saw him
lessons had finished later than usual and I was back home 6:30pm
I walked around the back looking for the head maid "ms eliza" I called heading to the main kitchen
"In here" she called back the maids looked busy this was unusual, they're not this busy unless there's a special occasion.
" is there an occasion I'm not aware of or..." I trailed she stopped stirring what seemed like soup and looked at me almost worried
" oh poor thing you didnt know?....lady Levi has returned"
