Introduction

It was the start of the day, but it was not the best one.

I, a commoner, was placed at the very first class of this year, where most aristocrats do their business. And I have no choice but to remain hidden from their sight. If I don't, even I don't know what will happen to me.

I can expect a bully, but these people are different from them. The ones in my world are still humble, but after seeing this people, I can see the eyes of someone who look down upon their own kind. As if they are in the same position.

"You commoner, come here."

But my camouflage failed in instance. I thought if I move incredibly still, no one will notice me. It was a fraud.

"You dare outrank his highness, you should know very well what your position is!"

I receive a hard slap at my right cheek, it left a familiar burning sensation. It is painful.

"You think you are better than us, the aristocrats?! You are nothing but a barbarians who think they can defy their master but in the end you all failed!"

And another slap was received by me. It is painful yes, but it should've always been like this.

I thought I have already escaped such fate, and yet.

Slap

Slap

The pain has left, my cheek has felt numb. I can also see very well that both of it is swelling. I can also barely see them since my eyes were affected.

"You all! What are you doing to such defenseless guy!"

Another hypocrite.

"W-what are you saying, Lady Rose! This guy humiliated his highness, don't you think he deserve a beating?!"

"Since when is it justifiable to beat a man who is smarter than his highness?!"

"M-my lady,... Are you perhaps trying to go against the royalty?!"

There's war stirring in front of me, but I didn't care. To hell if they die on each other's hand, I couldn't careless about their political nonsense.

"Since when did justice relate to the betrayal to the royalty! You truly are a bastard of a son of viscount, as long as you find the words that can save you, you think it would work!"

"ENOUGH!"

This time, a man shout in anger. It was not me, it was not the two fighting, it was the one who I have met before.

The son of viscount took this as a chance to blame the lady of higher position.

"Your Highness, Prince Joaquin. It is unforgivable to a commoner to even met your eyes, much less humiliate you. And Lady Rose just tried to defend that thing for his inexcusable behavior!"

He called me a thing. We talk the same language, we dress in the same clothing, we will learn the same thing. And he called me as if I am not a human.

"I defended no one, I simply interfere due to your ignorance and arrogance. His highness doesn't even have a sense of compe-"

"I SAID ENOUGH!"

I withheld the anger in my head, and remain kneeling in front of the nobles. I can see that the atmosphere is tense and a fight is coming.

"Commoner, your name is Vien, right?"

The prince asked me. I don't want to answer but I am obliged to do so. For now, I have to cooperate.

"Yes, your highness. I am honored to even be remembered by you."

"Hey, you bastard. Do you have a deathwish?!"

It was a sound of someone in anger, as if trying to threaten me while using his intimading tone.

"No one, even my father has dare to address me as rude as 'you'. How dare you?!"

This time, a pain, coming from my rib spread across my chest. Uncontrollably, I let out a shout of pain while lying two meters away from my original place.

"You must have truly a deathwish, to even stand before me, a prince!"

I did stand up, but it was not my intention to offense him.

It seems this man, is an

"Immature, childish with no sense of humility. What a disgusting behavior unbefitting of royalty."

The words of thought that should've left hidden within my head mistakenly leak. A disastrous accident I shouldn't have done.

"W-what did you just say?"

I thought he would be extremely angry about it. But as soon as we met our gazes, I can see from his eyes a fear that shouldn't have been there.

"Y-you are just a commoner!"

I have no intention to fight anyone, let alone to a royalty. I want to remain kneeling out of their sight. But that seems to be impossible.

"I will kill you, you fucking com-"

"Alright, let's wrap it up. Class is starting."

And before he could even land another punch, a professor suddenly came in.

"You may take your seat, your highness. After this, I will have to talk with you. And you too, Vien."

I can see his eyes, staring deep within our soul. He's trying analyze us. No, me.

"You may take your seats, student, we will begin our homeroom."

After that, the class started and ended with peace.

Even the prince can't do anything about it. It seems he was told to act as a student and not as a prince. Or something similar to being a cocky bastard.

He also introduced himself, which we followed.

Because of this, I knew a few names that I just interacted with earlier.

Rose Villa Mores. 1st daughter of the Duke of Mores. She was the 2nd in the list of those who passed, just below my name. She seems to be a classy woman who act befitting of her age and role in this kingdom.

It's kinda pitiful but still admiring. To have such burden and still have the capability to smile in front of her enemy.

Rose has a height of 6'1 feet, she has a gorgeous silver hair and a blue eyes. Her bangs, which extend to her eyebrows is also beautiful matching her emotional face.

She is a goddess who probably descended in this world for them.

The Prince of Ibra, Lucio Trensea, brother of Lynda Reyna Trensea who is the current sole monarch of the kingdom and the queen of it.

He was assigned as the crown prince, but this is for image sake only. Her majesty gave such title for him as a sign for the nobles that she have the highest authority there is.

She is like a dragon who sought dominance among her vassal.

The Prince has a 6'3 feel height, a red hair. Befitting of his short-tempered personality.

The last is the guy who slapped me before.

Nashor Greasia. 3rd son of Viscount Greasia. Because of his hopeless play within the fight for the position, he came running and seeking attention from the crown prince.

Viscount Greasia rule the land where most nonhumans live. He has also has the responsibility to manage the river that is used for trade routes. Because of that, his land is prosperous.

Nashor has a height of 6'0, he has a white hair that is curled. His face is also beautiful but not comparable to the Guardian.

What I don't like the most is his daggering glare.

Now for a special mention, the elf.

She also bears great status, and currently has the title of Marquis in this kingdom. Her golden eyes matches her golden hairs which also made a perfect combination to her staggering beauty. Not only that, she has the height of 6'4.

She's a quiet person and only did a bare minimum of introduction, after that she remain in silence of mystery.

And that wraps it. I don't want to introduce my entire class since it would probably take a day of my class if I do so.
