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 passing 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 knob.
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 noble, 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 nobility. 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 class… 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 bitch. Why the hell 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 nobles 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 noble’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 butt 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?”
