Blaire's Secret

It's been a long day. Clare was so bored at home that she decided to go for a walk to the playground alone. His friends were out of town except for Blaire, but Blaire's cell phone had been off ever since. Inevitably Clare had to play alone in the park like a lonely child.

So far, Clare doesn't have any other friends besides her three friends. Everyone her age thinks Clare is a problem just because she was expelled from school. Clare also feels that way especially after Vrochis's escape because of her. But people's views start to change when they see Clare being accepted into Neuvrost Academy which means Clare is special.

Clare swings on the swing standing, not sitting. She always did that when he was lonely or sad. In the academy there was no swing, so she could only do it in the city park, it had been a long time since she had done this to upload her mood.

In the empty thoughts and boredom piled up, all he did was stand still. Several girls her age came. One of them had wavy reddish-brown hair and mesmerizing blue eyes. She is Ryna Cardones who is considered an angelic form in the city. Incidentally, there was one JHS with Clare.

Clare glanced at him and turned her face away again. She sat on the swing properly, it seemed that Clare didn't like Ryna.

"Our sister is back, long time no see." She said smiling sweetly but for Clare it was a threat.

Clare and Ryna never really got along. Ryna is the daughter of a company partner of the Clare family, Clare's parents like Ryna without knowing her rottenness. Ryna has a strong enchantment ability, no wonder everyone is attached to her even the strong ones, one more thing, she is very clever in tricking someone.

"I don't remember inviting you." Clare said looking lazy.

"Uncle said, little Clare is back from the academy so I meant to say hi to you. You've changed a lot and you're getting more and more arrogant, I like it."

Clare smiled wryly. "You've changed a lot too. Much cuter than the last time we saw each other." Clare smiled mockingly.

"You don't know how much I miss you. I wonder what else Clare was doing there. Did you blow up the lab or damage the identification statue?"

"More than that. You want to know?" Clare was furious and got up from her seat. "I made a lot of changes. I have an elf and a dog who always mess with anyone who bullies me. Worse yet, I'm on the highest branch among the others." Clare meant to make Ryna jealous.

Ryna snorted. "You're so much better that you beat the nobles. I wonder who will defend you now other than the damn dog you brought with you."

Apparently Ryna had noticed Chasper's presence behind the bushes. One of his friends took Chasper and locked him in a cage she had made. It made Clare so angry that she couldn't speak.

"Who else will take care of you? What a weird kid." She sneered then laughed.

Clare was really angry. Usually she was so calm but now he couldn't hold it in anymore. Without thinking Clare twisted Ryna's friend's arm and released Chasper's cage.

Chasper ran to Clare and Clare immediately picked him up. At least he could save Chasper from the damn witches in front of her.

"That's all you're capable of. You trash," said Ryna.

"Who are you calling trash?" said someone who came. The figure of a girl with brown hair, tall stature wearing closed black clothes and a hat that covered her face with lace unrecognizable. But her voice was very familiar to Clare.

The atmosphere turned cold and tense. The aura she gave off seemed to have a killing intent that hadn't been emitted in a long time. Who's she?

"I asked, who are you calling trash?" she repeated coldly.

"Who are you? If you dare, don't cover your face," said Ryna arrogantly.

The girl smiled lightly. "Unfortunately people like you don't have the right to know what I look like."

She looks like royalty. There were only a few nobles who were so secretive and cruel in this world apart from Orlane. Judging by the fact that she was the same age as them and the Orlane family didn't have any girls their age. There's only one possibility, but no one's ever seen, Osborne.

"Osborne?" guessed Ryna widening her eyes.

Hearing Ryna's words, Clare was surprised. How could Blaire have this intimidating aura unless it was Blaire who had been hiding it all along. Clare doesn't know anything about the Osbornes because Blaire never tells. If you think about it this is indeed Blaire's true nature, naturally her ability is to see death and assigned as the death of the people. Clare has lived in Korea for too long to know anything.

They were all silent. No one dared to offend, only Ryna seemed to put on a thick, thick face and remained arrogant.

"I do not believe it. The daughter of the noble Osborne never leaves her residence and has no friends. How is it possible to suddenly become this little girl's friend?" Ryna couldn't believe it.

"I don't need your trust. You bullied her one more time, I'm going to tell you terrible things you'll never forget." She said brusquely.

It seems they really need to be taught a lesson before they leave. The mysterious girl glanced at one of Ryna's subordinates and suddenly her subordinate fainted. What a terrifying ability and managed to make everyone shudder.

Ryna and her friends were speechless. They just left after throwing a sharp glare at Clare as a warning.

After making sure that Ryna and her friends were out of sight, the girl took off her hat and exposed her face clearly. Clare's doubts are answered, she is Blaire.

"Blaire?" Clare stared in disbelief. This Blaire was completely different from the one at the academy.

Blaire chuckled as she approached the frozen Clare. "No need to be surprised." Blaire flicked Clare's forehead. "I did that on purpose to scare them"

"What about him?" Clare was afraid that something would happen to Ryna's subordinate who had fainted earlier.

"Take it easy. Just fainted, will wake up after a few minutes."

"You have so much to hide. What else are you hiding?"

"A noble must hide the truth of his identity. That's the main thing because nobles are very vulnerable to being hunted by criminals," said Blaire and Clare still digesting what happened. "Actually only the head of the academy knows, my family urged me to hide the truth about me. So I asked the head of the academy to send me to the 2nd class dormitory. My family tradition is that every girl has to hide her abilities well. Even I was cooped up at home for years just because of that tradition. They only care about men."

"Why?"

"Men are successors. While women are the unity. I can do nothing but obey. That's the consequence one receives when one is born into a noble family. Strict security, life is arranged in such a way, even the future of those who govern us must be what."

It's hard to be royalty. Because nobles are respected by everyone and have to maintain their ethics and life so they don't stray in another direction. That's why, every noble must marry a noble so that noble blood is maintained. It is an old tradition.

Clare thought about it. This tradition is most likely the reason why dad separated from a member of the Orlane family. It hurts.

"Your life is very difficult," said Clare stunned.

Blaire smiled wryly and sighed. "True, I can never be free. But my family said, after I accept the academy mission, I will be free from family rules and go on missions freely."

"Does that apply to all noble families?"

"I do not know. Each family has its own rules. Like Orlane who emphasizes that men must be superior to others in a competency, it's excruciating."

"Why Orlane?"

"Because that family is the strictest of all. Of course, they are the number one nobles in the world, have to maintain a good name and everyone is like a puppet of the rules"

"What about Osborne?"

"Men must get a mission from Neuvrost Academy before passing on the family inheritance. Women are not emphasized like that, but must stay at home and go to school or get married."

"Does that mean you're not free to go out?"

Blair smiled brightly. "I'm lucky to have you. Because of your carelessness, I was able to go out freely after receiving the mission. I just told Daddy." Blaire hugged Clare cheerfully.

"Really? My efforts were not in vain. But this mission sucks."

"As long as I can get out. Oh yeah, you didn't tell your family about your mission?"

Clare shook her head. "If I tell them. They will send me to Korea. Basically this mission is always accepted by nobles."

"It's not always like that. The professor doesn't look down on him, he just chooses the best. That's why noble parents pressure their children to be the best for the sake of mission and honor.

"Sounds like working in government." Clare mumbled then glanced at Blaire remembering something. "You got a party invite?"
