Mr. Bennett took me to the first year class 1. The Instructor is already on the podium. He knocks on the classroom door…
"Instructor Hill….., New student is here."
The Instructor was surprised because the new student was led by the Vice-pricipal personally.
"Go in. I will leave the new student in your hand, Instructor Hill…"
He left after waving his hand as if encouraging me. Do I need his encouragement as a Monarch? I appreciated his kindness though…
"Student,come and introduce yourself…"
I went up to the podium, hugging the books given by Mr.Bennett. In the second row, I saw a certain brave soul with his jaw dropped. I showed him my white and neat little teeth.
"Hello, My name is Gloria Avery Silverleaf. I came from the Kingdom very far away from here. I hope we can get along well…."
I got a few claps.
"Okay, go sit in the vacant seat."
The vacant seat was near the end of the classroom. I took a seat and put the books inside the desk.
The Instructor was talking about spell casting theories. I chose the text book about Spells and opened the chapter the Instructor was talking about.
With the data in my head, it was easier to understand. After all,my current level was at the level of Professor, 7th ring Advanced Mage. I just lacked the proper training.
After the Instructor left, there were two extra hands on my desk.
"New professor?"
The words came out from the gritted teeth. I shrugged my shoulders.
"Hi there…"
"Hey Elvis, do you know her?"
The girls sitting beside me turned around and asked him with interest.
"I met her in the library this morning…"
"Wait! Silver hair and green eyes, the new professor you talked about? Damn! man… you got cheated…"
The classroom was filled with laughter. Blood rushed to Elvis's head. He shouldn't have told them about his embarrassment. Now the other protagonist is here to add insult to his injury.
"Why the hell are you laughing?"
"Of course, because we're happy. Our happiness is based on your embarrassment…Hahaha"
Counting the students, there are twenty five students, including me.
"I'm sorry. I was bored at that time."
I apologized to him with a good attitude.
"It's okay, it's me who was abrupted. By the way, my name is Elvis Ray Levine and this is my friend Dylan Roger…"
"Hello…"
Dylan took my hand and gave a brief kiss. Then, get scolded by Elvis.
"Damn…Dylan! you are acting like a gentleman…"
"Watch your language…"
Elvis' head was knocked by a beauty who looked like the female version of him.
"I'm Eleanor Ray Levine. Sister of this guy…."
I gave her a thumbs up. This guy has a sister who could control him.
"I'm Amelia Rose. This is Norman Jones and the one sitting in front of you is Megan Hart."
I greeted them back with a smile. I'm really happy to receive such a warm welcome.
"Gloria Avery Silverleaf? I heard you are living in the Prince's mansion. What is the relationship between you and my cousin?"
What is the matter? Lifting my eyebrows, I looked up at the oncoming people. A woman with blue hair and eyes... and her two followers are standing in front of me.
It was clear that they had hostility towards me.
"He is my guardian in the Empire. Why do you need to ask?"
"I'm Ariel Winslow. The cousin of the Prince."
"Oh, okay…then?"
"I'm here to warn you. Don't get an idea of the person you shouldn't have!!!"
Are you here to play riddle?
"Of who?"
"My cousin. He is not the one you, a person from an unknown little Kingdom, can get."
What the..
Did I get shot while lying down?
"The Prince's eyes won't be that bad, Lady Winslow…"
"Yes, Lady Winslow…Nancy is right."
The two followers echoed together…
I don't want to act like a bitch, but…
"In what capacity did you warn me? You are …Oh, sorry. I don't even know your identity. Can someone please tell me Lady Winslow's identity…."
"Lady Winslow is the granddaughter of Duke Winslow…She is the favourite niece of the Empress…"
One of her followers answered me with a haughty tone.
"Then what? She is not even a Duke's daughter yet. But she wants to warn me, the Princess?"
I covered my lips and asked back in a surprise.
"I'm from the Duke family but I have Royal blood too.."
"So…where is your middle name? Sure, I'm from an unknown Kingdom but my bloodline is not something you can look down …"
She didn't talk back. However, I could see her eyes turned red. She was trying hard to control her rage. What a child…
"Strength is another factor that allows you to exert your authority beside family background. I'm in the same class with you, which means my strength is similar to yours. I'm even younger than you."
I said without blushing. Calculating my age after I transformed, it was not even five years. I was younger than her, in human form.
"The strength of the whole class is similar to yours, the bloodline of nearly a quarter of the class is better than yours…. So…What are you proud of?"
I'm not even proud yet, as a Monarch. She walked away from me. Her face was pale. Must be the first defeat in her life….
Her environment sheltered her too well. As a relative of the Royal family, she met peers whose ranks were higher than her for the first time in the Academy.
"Will it be bad if you become her relative later?"
Megan teased me, bumping my shoulder.
"What are the children of nobles thinking all day? I'm still underage, you know?"
Next class is close combat for some students and spell casting training for the Mages. I chose close combat because I could cast the spells easily with Veronica's help …and the copied data from the library.
I wanted to know the difference between the innate talent of my children and Instructors of the Academy.
The close combat Instructor name was Ethan Swift. He was very skilled in what he taught. After the class, I breathed a sigh of relief.
With just my children's innate talents, I can float in this world. I won't fly…flying is tiring after all..
The students left in two and three after the class to the dormitory. I envy them for having a simple school life for three seconds. After that, I left the Academy gate in a chic manner.
Who cares about being a simple child!!
I was born to be extraordinary…..
A carriage was waiting for me in front of the gate. Followed by the ten guards behind the carriage, I returned to the Prince's mansion.
After taking a bath, I ran to the library without eating dinner to copy the data while waiting for Evan's return.
[ Empty his knowledge reserves. ]
[ Start copying…1% … 2%.... Waiting time 10 minutes 48 seconds….]
This library is not as big as the Academy's. I asked Veronica to import the data directly to me while copying. In the waiting time, I digested the gains with close eyes.
If the data I got from the Prince's mansion is not sufficient, the data from the Academy would, right?
The plan to search for the base should be put on the agenda. I sent a message for a meeting to the children through the link between us.
The meeting time is 9:00 pm. So, they have plenty of time to prepare before they are teleported to me at the designated time. This is the safety measure I got after I advanced to 7th ring Advanced Mage.
It was unknown whether the protected person was me or the children…
I ate dinner alone because Evan sent the message that he couldn't return tonight. The messenger said the war worsened.
As a Priest, Evan should be very busy purifying and healing the soldiers infected with the dark magic used by demons.
At 9:00 pm, the children got into my room one by one. I took out the twins from the small world. They grew taller and bigger than the last time we met.
"Mother…"
"Welcome, my children…"
I gave a hug to all of them. The twins have extra kisses than the older children. Who told them to be the smallest here?
"I called you here because I want to determine the location of our home. My mission to build a Kingdom is just to collect merit by doing good deeds with my own children."
"At first, I wanted to build the Kingdom in the Mirkwood forest. But after consideration, the deeper part of the Mirkwood forest is very dangerous for us and the peripheral of the Mirkwood forest was the backyard of the two Empires - the Bright Sun Empire and the Sylvia Empire. The human activities are very high in the forest. We will be suppressed before we show our edges if they find us. After all, no Empire wants a Kingdom to pop out from their backyard."
We can't build a Kingdom silently by hiding all the time.
"So, I chose the Cursed forest. This place is barren but we are elves with overflowing vitality. This place is a lair of goblins and trolls but we can use them as targets to practice our hands. We can reduce the suffering of the human villagers robbed by these creatures by doing this. Humans are fighting with the demon armies in the plain between the Mirkwood forest and Cursed forest. Therefore, they won't have time to stare at the interior of the Cursed forest…"
Adam : "Mother is right. The problems that stumped humans are not problems at all for us."
Liam : "I am responsible for guarding you, Mother. When will we leave?"
"Two weeks later…We need time to prepare the things we want to take and the horses for transportation…"
Noah : "Leave the horses to me. Mother, do you want a carriage? Your son can get it."
"No need. I will just ride Pegasus."
Natalie : "I am responsible for the spices.."
"Don't forget about the rare seeds, Natalie.."
Natalie : "Yes, Mother.."
Bryan : "Mother, what about me?"
"Follow Noah…"
Alex, Alice : "Me ..me..me.. give me a task too.."
"Just stay in the small world obediently. Listen to your aunty Veronica, okay? You will be as free as wild horses after we are in the Cursed forest…"
