Chapter 84 – Vixen, pu pu pu (1/2)

(TN: Pu is kind of like a spitting sound)

The next day.

Loran Academy

On the second day of class, Shen DaiYing came to school on time.

She was able to bypass trouble on the road by arriving at the school entrance in a carriage. But after entering school, there were many students pointing at her while chatting.

She made a faint smile, it was as if she didn’t hear anything.

Regardless of the gossip going around the crowd, they wouldn’t act rashly. So much so that no one had the guts to even start a conversation with her. If you want to know why, it’s probably because of the two beautiful blades hanging at her waist.

Shen DaiYing clearly joined the magic department, yet she always carries around one long sword and one short sword. It’s not like she is a student from the warriors’ department who relies on hand-to-hand combat, why does she need a sword?

Also, it’s obvious that Shen DaiYing is the princess of a foreign country and she holds an important position. But, she always travels alone and she never brings guards with her. Is she not afraid of meeting an assassin

Or was she alone sufficient?

Tap, tap, tap… Shen DaiYing walked into the magic department classroom alone with her red high heels. She sat down at her spot and waited for class to start.

She subconsciously turned her head to the left because she wanted to greet the black-haired boy. But she was stunned when she discovered the seat to her left was empty.

“Lin Xiao, he didn’t come?”

As if responding to Shen DaiYing’s question, Woos walked slowly into the classroom and announced that Lin Xiao was on sick leave, then he started to teach the lesson seriously.

Sick? He was pretty lively yesterday, how did he get sick today?

“Haaaa…..” Shen DaiYing sighed sadly.

She can’t say how she feels about the black-haired boy.

Hate? Definitely not. Like? Also unlikely. After all, it was the first time they met. If she had to describe it, it would be pure curiosity.

She still has not forgotten the heroic appearance of the black-haired boy a few days ago on the training grounds. An yesterday, that boy’s astonishing confession also left a deep impression in her mind.

「Princess, I like you」It was a simple and direct statement. From then on, Shen DaiYing’s mind was filled with Lin Xiao, she even dreamed about him last night 一一

Since she was of age, it was obviously not the first time a boy had confessed to her. As a young child, she has already become accustomed to rejecting a man’s love. It had already become a part of her life and it was not a big deal. But this time, she kept feeling anxious, as if she made a mistake.

Why? It was the same rejection, but why did she feel remorse when it was Lin Xiao?

Could it be that Lin Xiao was different than others in her heart?

She did not understand.

But, what could she do next? She is Caesar’s fiancée and she cannot respond to Lin Xiao’s feelings. This paper marriage was a wall that she absolutely could not pass.

At this point, Shen DaiYing shook her head helplessly.

Take it one step at a time. Lin Xiao was an unexpected element to her plan, she only has to follow the original plan and take care of prince Caesar.

Complete the mission, don’t cause unnecessary problems, personal emotions are only hindrances ⸺ that was how she admonished herself.

The lessons of the day ended while she was entangled in her thoughts.

Teacher Woos made an announcement before he left.

The「 Intramural Selection Competition 」is being held in the near future. The two strongest students are selected with one-vs-one fights and they would represent Loran Academy at the upcoming Eileen’s 18th Academy Tournament.

Compared with the ‘Intramural Selection Competition’, Shen DaiYing was more concerned about Lin Xiao. After class, she planned to head to Lin Xiao’s home to take a look, but she was blocked by someone.

“Princess.”

“Eh? It’s prince Caesar.”

After seeing the handsome blond boy, Shen DaiYing immediately put away her sullen expression and replaced it with a charming smile ⸺ that’s right, Caesar should be the one on her mind, not Lin Xiao. After all, Caesar is her fiancé.

However, Shen DaiYing now held a trace of contempt towards Caesar ⸺ sure enough, the proud prince was not able to remain calm and came to her before she went to him. It seems like prince Caesar was only a lecherous, handsome idiot.

Although that’s what she thought, the expression on her face was full of passion.

“Prince Caesar, although we just met, you’re my fiancé. Is there a need to be so formal?” She said with a smile.

“….What do you mean?” Caesar knitted his brows and asked impetuously.

“What I mean is… prince or princess or whatever, it sounds awkward. Can we change the way we address each other?”

“Is that necessary?”

“Of course! Because…”

Shen DaiYing patiently explained the importance of how you addressed others to Caesar. Although Caesar appeared to be listening obediently on the outside, he felt irritated ⸺ this woman is so annoying!

At the same time, there was a sharp gaze coming from behind Caesar. It stared at Shen DaiYing’s every action.

Of course, that person was Miss Rosie.
