[Event] [Hectic First School Day] Celesta's Prince And Princess

"Young Lord Falkrona."

All the guards….no warden was a better word since they weren't wearing any armor. They were just like any warden in highschools on Earth.

All the wardens greeted me.

They couldn't hide the shock upon seeing my appearance, which sure changed. On the news, these fuckers chose the worst picture of me to show the whole kingdom and I was completely different now. It was a normal reaction.

"Open the doors."

"Lord Edward, we can-"

"I will take care of the consequences, open."

I cut him off in a tone that clearly wouldn't accept any refusal.

Well, if there were consequences. Pretty sure no one would want to create a problem with my house.

The warden looked at his colleagues before sighing.

He and three of his mates put their hands on the white five-meter-tall doors.

The complex runes that ornamented the door shone golden.

-Creak!

The heavy doors started to open, making a loud sound.

I could hear Jayden and Milleia gulping in nervousness behind me.

In the game, they entered by the small doors though they did attract the attention of the whole auditorium because that idiot Jayden, tripled over pathetically.

I chose to take them with me by the main doors to make them more aware of where they were. The most prestigious academy in the whole Kingdom.

The first thing I saw was the red carpet rolled out on the large path that led to the stage. On the stage, where the most important people of the academy, including some main characters.

On the elevated podium was an old man who was staring at me.

He was the main reason why I was making such a cliché entry. I wanted him to be aware of my presence. He needed to know that I wasn't what the rumors suggested I was. He needed to know that I was without doubt the most talented of his students. All of that because he will be useful to me in the future.

He was the headmaster and principal of the [Royal Eden Academy], Geoffrey Higer Eden.

Obviously, he wasn't the only one staring at me.

Everyone was staring at me.

The silence didn't last long before I heard hundreds of gasps. It echoed in every corner of the auditorium.

The sound of my footsteps echoed, followed by Jayden's and Milleia's.

My gaze was fixed on the headmaster. I wasn't looking elsewhere. The same was for him as his yellow eyes scanned me.

After arriving in front of the stage, I glanced on my left and right sides.

No seats were available.

I strolled on the left side and stopped in front of a student. He was probably the son of a marquis or higher, since he was in the front seats. Judging from his yellow tie, he was the second year.

"Move."

"Y-Yes!"

When I said that with a perfect imitation of the Edward of the game, the guy stood up and left for the seats behind.

I wanted to sit but I felt disgusted sitting on the place that guy sat. Don't judge me, I can't do anything when it comes naturally from me.

Incidentally, the girl and the guy who were on the next seats left as well to leave the place for Jayden and Milleia, who followed me?!

What the hell?!

Why hadn't they taken a seat behind?

Milleia tried to stop them feeling guilty, but the girl and boy only glared at Milleia.

"Student Edward Falkrona."

A deep voice rang from behind.

I turned around and saw the Headmaster looking coldly at me.

"You arrived late and interrupted my words. I ask you take a seat and not further disturb the ceremony."

"Of course."

I smiled and removed my blazer to put it on the seat before sitting on it.

"..."

The old man's brows creased at my behavior but he didn't say anything else and resumed his boring speech.

Milleia and Jayden sat on either side of me.

"..."

Are you my lackeys?!

"I would like a thunderous applause for the first-ranked students of the first years. They ended up in the same place and they are brother and sister, which is a surprise. Alfred Owen Celesta and Aurora Avia Celesta. I ask for you."

-Clap! -Clap! -Clap! -Clap!

Everyone clapped loudly when a handsome golden-haired young man and a golden-haired beauty stood up from the front seats.

Alfred and Aurora.

They were the Prince and Princess of the Celesta Kingdom.

Aurora was a [Main Heroine] and Alfred was a [Pretender].

[Pretender].

They were the natural enemy of the protagonist as they could 'rob' the heroines from you. They could be as much your enemies as your friends, but in most cases enemies, since they would try to rob one of the Heroines of you. Indeed, Alfred annoyed me on several occasions. With his handsome face and the suit tailored just for him, he looked like any girl's dream.

[<Not my type.>]

'I know. You are in girls, right?'

[<No!>]

I just teased her but I was happy that Cleenah wasn't praising him. I mean I felt a little hung up when I saw all the squeals of the girls when Alfred ascended the stage.

"Welcome to everyone."

Alfred spoke with a dazzling smile.

""""Kyaaaa!""""

What the hell?

Is that a Japanese novel?

Girls are screaming like they had never seen a man before.

I glanced steadily at the [Heroines] and…as expected of them. No one was looking with a blushing face at them. Milleia next to me was just looking with an admirative expression. She didn't have a crush or anything, but there was no doubt that it could happen.

Milleia grew up in a town, hearing stories about princes saving princesses countless times. Just imagine how she would feel right now.

Jayden, though, was looking at Alfred as if he was his own rival.

Seduce Milleia instead of ogling a prince!

Among all the girls, there was one gaze more heated than the others. It was coming from the front seats. Obviously, since she was the [Villainess] of the First Game. She was head over heels, madly in love, insanely in love with Alfred.

Imagine what would happen when Alfred started to get interested in Milleia…

I sweated just by remembering about that mad girl.

"...in the hope all my classmates will graduate with me."

-Clap! -Clap! -Clap! -Clap!

"Kyaaa! I'm in love!"

"Prince Alfred~"

"I hope I can marry him…"

I cringed when I heard that from behind me.

The prince's pathetic speech garnered overexaggerated reactions.

Next was Aurora.

How the hell did she become more beautiful than before?

Aurora was wearing the uniform of the Eden Academy for girls. A white blouse for the top, a fine blue skirt below and above that, a blue pinafore reaching her slightly above her knees which was fastened with a red leather link belt. Socks and knee-high boots, nothing suprising. The red belt and the red tie adorning the collar of her blouse, hidden by the pinafore, were showing her grades.

There were two types of uniform for girls. The one Aurora was wearing and the one Milleia was wearing: the typical blue blazer, white blouse and blue skirt. The high-ranking nobles had the tendency to wear Aurora's uniform, which was more elegant, while commoners the one of Milleia. But it didn't mean nobles didn't wear the second one or the commoners, the first one. In the end, it was just the taste of each other. I also had the choice between a blazer and a sweater, but who the heck would wear a sweater in the academy, with this weather?

"Welcome everyone. I would like to first greet my seniors of the second year and third year. I hope you will help me and my classmates as well to accustomate ourselves to this prestigious academy."

The seniors were pleased by Aurora's words and clapped.

Then Aurora spoke about how the academy was amazing or whatever. I didn't hear everything since I was tired and sleepy.

"I have been groomed to be an exemplary Princess since my tender age. That is why I am glad to finally have the occasion to be in contact with my people, my comrades, my classmates. Please treat me not like a Royal Princess, but like any normal girl of your age. Thank you."

-CLAP! -CLAP! -CLAP! -CLAP! -CLAP! -CLAP! -CLAP!

Wow.

It was a nice finish. With her kind smile, she conquered all the men's hearts without doubt.

[<Except you?>]

'Except me yeah.'

I was already immune to girls like her, so I was alright.

I mean I spent time with Ephera, Miranda and Elona, it was normal. Moreover, what I felt before for them was just a weird form of lust? Was that even lust? It was like I was despaired to get them.

Both took back their seats and Aurora didn't even throw me a glance. No, rather, she avoided her gaze from my place during her whole speech and even until now. The only time she looked at me was when I entered.

Figures, I asked her body after all…

Damn, someone kill me…

What a third-rate villain's line was that.

My body itched just by remembering my previous deeds to the girls of the mansion, Miranda and Aurora. No wonder Elona hates me. Miranda was like a sister to her and she always thought we would be together.
