"My fiancee was the crown prince, Asmodeus. He was a cold person but he's caring for his family. My coming of age was celebrated when I was 15 years old, and I was engaged to him. I don't hope for his hope since I know he won't love me. But recently, the royal family asked me to annul the engagement. I did as they want, but I also feel sad because people are making bad rumors about me," Kathrina said while crying

"I feel sorry for you, but do you regret your decision?" I asked

"No, I don't want to be in a forced marriage either. I just feel bad about my status, but even so, I'm in the academy right now. They won't talk bad about me, right?"

"I can't guarantee about the rumors, but if they use violence against you, I won't hold back"

"Thank you, Camelia, you're really a nice person"

Asmodeus is alive, so, normally, the plot keeps on changing. But I hope it won't cause much, and if it did I just hope I won't die in the end. Who wanted to die tragically in their next life anyway?

While I and Kathrina are going to the girl's dorm, Maverick come towards us.

"Hey Lice, did you pass?" he asked

Kathrina then hides behind my back, probably she's hiding from her ex-fiance's brother. I need to tell her not to worry about Maverick though.

"Don't call me Lice, or I'll call you Ashy," I said

"Sure, why not?" he said with a shrug

"Ugh, I passed and even the examiner was touring"

"You're born to act anyway, and who's this girl?"

"She's Kathrina Bustleton"

Maverick looked surprised and he chuckled.

"Miss Bustleton, no need to hide from me. I'm Camelia's bestie anyway," Maverick said

"H-how did you guys know each other?" she asked

I and Maverick looked at each other, and I shook my head. Kathrina shouldn't know that I'm not from this world, or this world may collapse. I read a lot of novels that show you shouldn't tell any people that you're not from this world, except if they're trusted. For Aaron, he may be an exception since he knew from the start. But if we told ourselves to a lot of people, there'll be a possibility that this world may collapse.

"We met accidentally in the forest last week," he said

"Oh that's why," Kathrina said without being suspicious

"Lice, let's go to the kitchen"

"What? Are we allowed to cook in the kitchen?" I asked him

"Duh, but if we burned the kitchen, we'll get disqualified"

"Ugh, so why?"

"You're an excellent chef, this academy's food was too disgusting," he whispered

"Fine then, Kathrina let's go," I said to her

"Where to?" she asked

"The kitchen"
