Ch. 3 Part 1

Daben Dorm itself already makes me feel intimidated… But when I actually went inside, I held my breath seeing other people pa.s.sing by. When I told my mom that I got into the Royal Academy as the Senior Admission, so I didn’t have to pay for the tuition, she bought me clothes with all of her money. But this clothes were too shabby compare to theirs. Their clothes were all sparkling and fancy. It is not too much to say they literally painted gold on their clothes. That’s how expensive their clothes looked… Just by looking at them made me feel intimated. It was very hard to come all the way to my room… Can I get used to these kinds of stuff from now on? I was thinking that and turned the door k.n.o.b. I stagger because of the dizziness again. This big room looks like it’s about 50 pyong (1780 sq. ft.). This was more like a house than a room. The bathroom actually had a bath tub I heard it through the rumor, and there was a kitchen prepared for us to cook if we wanted. “…This is crazy… I have to stay in this room..?” “Are you by any chance Laneige?” I turned around surprised hearing a voice coming from behind me. There was a girl taller than me standing right front of my eyes. Her blonde was little different from my platinum blonde she had golden blonde hair and had blue eyes. She wasn’t wearing uncomfortable looking clothes, but it looked VERY expensive. “Yes, I am Laneige…” She looked like a n.o.ble, so I bow and replied very respectably. She smiled and came into my room without any permission and acted like her home and sat down on a sofa that I’ve never even seen before. She said. “You are pretty amazing than I thought. Even though you are a serf born, you skipped 1, 2, 3, 4th grade and entered the academy as Senior Admission… I was curious what kind of a person you were, so I came to see you. But you look amazing. I thought you were an elf or… you are a half elf?” “Thank you for your compliment, but I am a human.” “Hah, I feel intimidated. How can you have that kind of fair skin… It’s okay, you can raise your head. We are all same student hohohoho… My name is Shumiereu de Graylene. Just call me Shumiel. I almost screamed hearing what she said. “De Graylene…” It’s the same last name is the person that made me able to use Daben dorm and will use me as his servant, Sage de Graylene. In conclusion, she is related to him, and that means she is the daughter of n.o.bility. What does she want from me? I hold my curiosity and smiled at her. “Yes, Shumiel-nim. By any chance are you Sage-nim’s sister?” “Yes. Sage is my older brother. But do you have to call me Shumiel-nim? Of course I do look older than you, but you and I are in the same grade. We might even in a same cla.s.s… Being formal… you are mean. Ah, how old are you?” “I’m 17 this year.” Shumiel rested her chin on her hand and looked at me like she was looking at an item in a museum. I wanted to say, ‘Shut your eyes b.i.t.c.h. Why the h.e.l.l are you looking at me, ugly? Do you have something to say?’ If I say this, my pretty neck might get chopped off, so I wore one of the ten thousand masks, smile brightly, and asked her. “If a beautiful girl looks at me, even if it’s me, I don’t know where to put my eyes. If you have something to say, say it Shumiel-nim.” “Hohohoho, I like you. I’m 19 years old. You are 17… you are supposed to be in 3rd grade, and you are 5th grade…? Isn’t it amazing? I skipped a grade too. I thought I was better than anybody else, but a person who couldn’t even get a proper education skipped two grades… Usually people don’t just skip a grade, they start it from grade one.” Shumiel was praising me so much, and I just smiled and tried to figure out what she is thinking. Men doesn’t think any deeper if someone praises, but women are different. They are prideful and think they are better anyone. It’s not usual for them to praise someone like this. But she’s keep praising continuously… She’s probably thinking about something. “That’s too much.” “It’s not too much. I’m saying this because I’m amazed. There was… nothing like this in the past. Especially I’m amazed at that c.o.s.p.l.a.y. Ohohohohohoho…”

“!!” For a second I felt like I stopped breathing. But because I was too shocked, I felt my face was getting calmer. How does that girl know I dressed up as a guy? What does she want from me? What does she want to say? There were many questions messing up my head, but I smiled using my specialty ten million of masks. There was a tactic I usually use during these kind of situation. That was play innocent. Just fake it muahahaha… “What are you talking about? If I didn’t hear it wrong, you said something about cosplay…” “Oh my you have such a *thick face. Are you playing innocent? Actually I coincidently heard it from our homeroom teacher. You are dressing up as a guy because girl spots were filled? They didn’t want to miss someone who skipped up to 5th grade, but if they send her in, other n.o.bles will oppose… So isn’t this the way? I’ll swear to my name that I won’t say anything to anyone so why don’t you stop pretending?” Swearing to n.o.ble’s name means very important. It was like saying they will never go against the promise. I sighed and shook my head helplessly. I erased my smile and touched my long tied platinum blonde hair. “Hahahaha… That’s right. I’m a girl. I studied my b.u.t.t off but couldn’t get in because girl spots were filled… That’s why I decided to dress up as a guy and came in. All the teachers know about this, but Shumiel-nim please don’t tell anyone.” “Of course. But under one condition.” I frowned. You promised you won’t tell anyone swearing at your name, but what condition? I was complaining a lot from inside, but currently since my weakness got revealed, I hid my bitterness and forcefully smiled and asked. “A condition?” “Yeah. Don’t worry. It’s nothing hard.” “Ok. Fine. What’ is it?” “Be my friend.” “Huh?”
