Chapter 15

"It's really ok guys-" "No that's not ok, who did this and why? I will go. Who are they?" I asked again. She sighed and calmed me down. "I know you are angry because you haven't seen your Lord Magnus for a few weeks. But I'm sure he's fine. " I stared at him because of his change of topic. We don't have classes today because the teachers are meeting and we're just chilling outside. Since they are my companions. many students watching as always. Many greetings and many gifts, mostly King. Mel also has many admirers but she doesn't mind. "Well I'm not looking for him." Annoyed, I said to her and she just laughed it off. King just stared into the distance. So we both turned to Mel where she was looking. He was obviously staring at Erina again, until now they still weren't talking. Of course Erina intiated a few times but King didn't talk to her, I don't know why she's still sulking with Erina. Gareth, on the other hand, we always see. Just where are we going and he's there but he's keeping distance, I think Mel has already noticed. I don't know if he doesn't want to listen to Gareth for whatever reason, maybe it's my fault too ehehehe. Also Erina doesn't get too close to Gareth, I don't know why but I'm sure not everyone agrees with the novel. I no longer knew what was going on. King keeps his distance from the female lead, Magnus is not there and Gareth is just there next door. Erina has many friends which is really suspicious. The female lead in the novel is not friendly, as far as I know she has many men protecting her. As far as I know not everyone agrees with the novel, I wonder if the story changed especially with the readers. Who's perspective were they on so? "Ahh the sports fest is coming up, are you all excited? They said there was a cheerdance battle, isn't that exciting? " Mel asked smiling. "Well it's going to be busy again, ah by the way are you talking to Prince Gareth? He's been staring a lot. You haven't talked to Princes- "You also didn't talk to Princess Erina, so don't you?" they also like to quarrel but we're still close. "I- "Don't contradict me Lord King, I will talk to Prince Gareth if you talk to Princess Erina. Deal? You should initiate the conversation. " –Mel "What !?" King shouted loudly. Oh the sports fest is like intramurals but enhanced with magic. I'm not good at playing so I won't participate. Maybe I'll just join our cheerdance battle, I know sports but I'm just really lazy. Also since that day he slept in my bed, that was the last day I saw him. I wonder if I didn't put him to sleep and sang that night. Would he still be at my side? Will he still be here? I don't know what happened as long as he disappeared. I asked a lot of people but they also didn't know. I also asked Rios but he also didn't know, I was suspicious of him because when I asked him he was stunned to answer. What sports does Magnus like? Probably a lot since he has a huge body, maybe he knows all sports? He's a genius so- wait what am I saying? Dammit, it's been a few weeks since I last saw him… and I kinda missed my bias. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ' "Hey Rios, you can always hire Mel. Someone's been bothering her lately. " I told Rios, a few weeks ago Magnus used to go out. But now he keeps appearing since Magnus disappeared. "Wanna see her now? He is in his course room. " "What? we are here in the dorm, how can we get there right away. " He scoffed and seemed to be bragging to himself. Is he mocking me? "You're talking to a God." I raised my middle finger to Rios in the strong wind he made my middle finger stand up. God my ass, he's been suspious lately and I don't know if I can still count on him. not only that he's acting weirdly. So, he teleported me to where Mel was. She was on her classroom, re -sewing dresses as always. But we noticed some women, wait… who are they? "Looks like your suspicion is correct." It's just a woman but I can't see her face because it's already dark, so she can lock the door of Mel's classroom. "Oh no she won't-" I would have approached in case a man suddenly appeared and pulled the woman away. It was a little loud so Mel came out. The guy probably dragged that girl somewhere- can I follow? "Rios, you're just here. Watch out for Mel, maybe the man pulled by an accomplice. " utos ko For some reason Rios is more… kinder? Or even more listening to me. He doesn't oppose much and he's also not as useless as before. And at least now he knows how to help. I quickly ran to where the man had taken the woman. I really can't see their faces because it's really so dark. He eventually stopped at the… business course classroom so I immediately followed don. Before I could enter there was a loud bang in the classroom. "F*ck you, why don't you stop ?! It's been going on for a week! Who are you? Huh? Were you sent by someone? " I was stopped by the familiar voice. I peeked into the classroom and I was right, it was Gareth. What the heck is he doing? He's already teased the woman… "I only serve my master and my master alone, I will not answer you-" loudly thrown- yes Gareth dumped the poor female student. I mean what she did to Mel was awful but Gareth did worse. IS HE GONNA KILL HER !? The woman was no longer standing and was just leaning against the roof so Gareth walked away for a while and took a bat ?! A MDFKN BAT !? "Were you sent by my parents? Huh? ANSWER! STOP RUINING HER LIFE YOU F*CKER! " he shouted loudly. He positioned his bat and ready to swing it. "You know? This can serve as a practice for the upcoming sports fest. " "I have enough of this bullsh*t. seeing her from afar and protecting her from afar is ok for me. " he added coldly. WHAT IS SHE DOING ?! IS HE GOING TO KILL THAT POOR STUDENT !? IS SHE CRAZY ?! DOES SHE WANT TO BE JAILED !? HE WANTS TO BE A CRIMINAL? I ran over to Gareth and stopped him once he took his bat. "Wh-what are you doing? Do you have a plan to kill that student ?! " He frowned at what I said but also sighed later I looked at the student who looks half dead which is… creepy. You know the horror deds? ganern you face niya nakakatakot tingnan, not to mention the soulless eyes. "Are you dead- "No." he approached the female student while holding her neck but did not respond. Don't tell me it's already dead? Since when is Gareth a murderer? Well I know he's a murderer novel because he killed Mel himself but isn't this absurd? "What's that' No '? Obviously, the student stopped shouting and responded. God this is going to be a problem. " I just got hit in the head. "It's obviously dead." I'm not used to seeing murder but it seems like that, I don't know why but I wasn't surprised like I expected myself to be. Its also weird that I feel like I'm used to it but I haven't seen a murder in my entire life. "It's a no because that one's not a person." "Huh?" I was surprised when he tightened his grip on the woman's neck and just like that. It burst into magicules. Just something like a magic particle, so the one who bullied Mel is some… "It's a clone or a doppelganger made of magic." My mouth fell open, who is good at magic to do that? Besides, I only know Magnus who knows how to do that… No one else, I don't think its Magnus because why would he do that to Mel? I felt even more nervous because I didn't know anyone else who was good at magic. Well unless you are a God or something, the novel already stated that Magnus is the strongest of all. He's human so he's the strongest human in the land. "Are you saying that everyone who attacks Mel is made of magic? Some clone? " I asked once thinking don the uniform left by the woman. If it's a clone, does it have a real body? I mean whoever did it, he also knew this woman. No one can do such great magic, it can cost a lot of mana and life span. So in conclusion no ordinary person did it. "Ah so you noticed." he replied coldly. He sighed and shrugged. I nodded at what he said, so he knew too? "It's been going on since last week, I don't know who's up to it but I really think they're aiming for Princess Lucy and her only." He explained. How angry are they with Mel? Mel is smart. "Those who poured juice on Princess Mel, are they also clones? From which class? " "From the art course." His answer was short. "To be honest, the clones come from different courses. I asked someone one time about it and they said they didn't know. " If Mel is in danger, I have to work with this guy since he seems to know more than me. "So they also don't know that they have a clone?" "Yes." I was so bitten on the lip by Gareth's answer, isn't this a little bit too hard? I know none of the characters did it Which is going to be hard to find because there isn't much information in the novel on other characters besides the main characters. I looked at Gareth who was just staring at his bat. if I'm going to protect Mel without her knowing… I need a help of this guy. "Hey Prince Gareth… you want to protect the princess right?" I asked and his eyes lit up. He thought maybe I would scold him for hanging out with Mel the whole two weeks, but to be honest he was just protecting her from afar. Which is really surprising for the male lead to take an interest in a villain. "Then we should work together to find out who is behind it." Authoritative I say. It's going to be hard of course, if only Magnus was here… maybe he could help us here? but will he be willing to help though? I know I said I had to avoid him for the sake of our safetly. But not to the point that I will never see him again. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ' "Princess Mel, let me go to the library first? just do something, hey Lord King you're just here and don't leave. " They were both surprised and nodded at the same time. "Lady Hera, aren't you going there lately?" Mel asked me, king agreed with what Mel said. "Ah- yes… I practice solo cheer dance don. W-there aren't too many people. " I left immediately so they wouldn't ask again. It's been 5 days since Prince Gareth and I have been working. I don't inexpect him to agree right away because you know… crowned prince? Duh, the pride of royalties is high so I don't really inexpect to. Hes really into Mel huh, but why did he break up? It looks like he's still obsessed with Mel, if you only knew what his questions were when we started working together… 'Is she ok?' 'Is she eating well?' 'What time is he sleeping?' 'Is spaghetti still her favorite dish?' I don't even know everything, especially his favorite food. He's more informative and he knew more of Mel than me that I'm Mel's bestfriend. But I'm just the reincarnated person so what do I know? "Prince Gareth did you get him?" I asked when I got to the library, here we were secretly meeting with Prince Gareth to discuss the incidents related to Mel. "This f*cker stole the Princess' favorite dress she just made earlier." Gareth said angrily once to show me to a man who was bruised closed. Of course this one's another clone because all it will say is 'I only serve my master and my master alone.' That's all they always say. Until now we still don't know who the master is saying to. Gareth's been angry more than ever. "I think I have a clue who the mastermind is." She whispered softly while sitting on the floor and messing with her hair. "It's always been them, they never stop. I told them to stop… I WILL F*CKING KILL THEM " Them? who are them? To be continued....
