Today is such a weird day, Maria wakes up early!
"What's wrong Lady Maria? Did you have a bad dream?" - Even Lily was surprised when she saw Maria getting dressed at 6.
"No, today I'm just in a super good mood". Maria put on an opal necklace. "Olivia, my best friend, she'll bring me the newest album of UNITE".
"Is it the one with a signature on it?". Lily stood behind Maria helping her master do the hair.
"Yes, that one, I've been wanting it for a really long time". Maria saw through her makeup box.
"So Lady Maria, how do you want to look like today?". Lily tied up her hair and got ready for doing Maria's makeup.
"I'll take the Pure Princess style". Maria looked at herself in the mirror and smiled.
Lily takes out makeup utensils and starts to apply these things on Maria's face. Lily has been doing her job for years. Technically, she is the only maid that Maria has 100% faith in. Lily moves her hand skillfully like she's drawing an urbane artwork.
"Have a look, Lady Maria". Lily puts down all the utensils.
"Excellent as always". Maria took a minute to admire herself in the mirror.
Lily should go to art university, if she could. Because her artistic skills are unconceivable. Maria is the living proof for all the thesis above. From a prideful damsel, she has been turning to an innocent girl. Just like the white lotus, natural and fine.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In the hallway to the Prestige Building, Olivia is standing there talking to Esserine.
"How was yesterday?" - Olivia asked.
"If I didn't get in a fight with that mean girl, my fingers wouldn't hurt badly today because of writing 100 times" - Esserine can barely move her fingers to manipulate shadow around.
"By the way, what's in your arms?". Esserine stared at the book that Olivia was holding since she saw her. "A musical album, but from who?"
"Oh, it's the newest album by UNITE". Olivia rotated the album in a circle so Esserine can watch it clearly. "I brought it here for a friend, she's a big fan of them".
"Oh really, who is your friend-"
Before Esserine could finish her whole sentence, Maria ran straight to Olivia out of nowhere.
"Hello sweetie, where's my husbands' baby~" - Maria talked with a flirty tone.
"Here you go girl". Olivia gave the album to Maria. "Oh wait, this is my friend, Esserine".
Esserine and Maria can't believe in their ears.
"Olivia knows this bitch?!?!?!?!" - They thought.
"Oh Esserine, and this is Maria, my kindergarten friend". Olivia introduced happily. "We've been friends for years".
Maria and Esserine were too stunned to speak.
"Actually Maria is the mean girl that I was talking about". Esserine was telling the truth.
"Oh so now you're talking shit behind my back?". Maria's hand was on fire. "Want a rematch?".
"Wanna get punishment from Adelphia?" - Esserine replied. This really shut Maria's mouth.
"Chill y'all, calm down, I've heard about yesterday's news". Olivia was trying to stop the fight from happening.
Yesterday, her friend got in a fight with Prince Federick, it was Lucas Ellis. Everything would be just as usual as every show-off battle of the boys. However, because Lucas won the brawl, Prince Federick got jealous so he reported to the office that Lucas was bullying him. What a vile plan. Prince Federick is always that kind of person, cowardly, raffish, and cunning. He only relies on his father's power to tame other people forcefully. His ability is Water Breathing. A useful one, but not enough to be an attacker. To be a good support, Prince Federick doesn't even have a strategic brain or a great knowledge of spells, charms, traps, or technology.
Federick can barely be a defender in Prestige Class. Nevertheless, he quickly gets defeated by other opponents. That's why he ends up in the Afon Class.
"Oh hi Lucas, do you feel better today?". Olivia waved her hand at the walking boy.
"What's up Olivia". Lucas tossed his hair while moving toward her. "My wounds got better, don't worry about that. Prince Federick's weapon wasn't strong enough to hurt me".
"Oh so you're that brave boy who dared to stand up and fight back, huh?" - Maria scanned Lucas with her calculated eyes.
"Everyone hates Prince Federick, although people don't have courage to do such things like you did". Esserine clapped her hands. "You have my respect".
"Nothing girls, I just found it unfair to watch him bully freshmen". Lucas scratched his head bashfully.
They keep talking and getting to know each other for a while until the second bell rings. Then, everyone says goodbye to Olivia and goes to their class.
"Wait, Federick is a Prince right?" - Maria turned her head to Lucas.
"Yes?". Lucas answered confusingly.
"Then why is he so stupid and weak". Maria spoke mockingly. "Plus, recreant".
Maria's sudden mockery makes Esserine and Lucas can't hold their laughter. Let's hope Prince Federick doesn't hear about this one.
