Chapter 18

SHEETTTT I SAID 'I MISSED YOU TOO'! I SAID THAT IN MY BIAS OMYYYYY- I was about to get up because of the shameful case he stopped me. "Lord Magnus, you do know that embarrassing- "LADY HERA !!! PLEASE HELP MEEEE, NARURUPOK NA AKOOOO !!! " Magnus and I were surprised by the strength of Mel's shout once the door opened. She saw us and stared at us for a few seconds, she blushed and covered her face. "S-s-s-ooorryyyy! I did not mean it! I'm sorry for interrupting! " I immediately stood up and stopped Mel from leaving, "PRINCESS WAIT! YOU GOT THE WRONG IDEA! " In case he left completely and I couldn't stop him, I was just slapped on the forehead and looked badly at Magnus. "Let her think the 'wrong idea'." He said smiling. I sighed and sat down next to him. "How are you?" "What how are you? Then you leave me without saying goodbye? How do you think I will feel? " annoyed I said to him. I forgot I shouldn't be fragile now, stay mad Herabella! Don't be fragile even if he smiles a smile now. "I… I'm handling things right now, it's a good thing you called me when the monster demon was summoned here." he replied modestly, I raised an eyebrow at him. "What do you mean handling? What are you handling? Is it about the sudden summon here? Do you know who caused it? " he didn't answer… "You don't need to know everything, it's better if you don't know." –Gareth. "What do you mean about that ?! I was the one affected, I got hit remember? So I have the right to know who did it. " –Me "I'm sorry Goddess, it's for your own safety. Besides, I'm not sure yet so I don't want to point fingers if I'm not sure what I'm saying. " –Gareth. "Who were you talking to when you were in the corridor. Im sure you mentioned who did- "How much have you heard?" he asked, answering us and holding my shoulder. "Goddess, I know it's ridiculous right now but believe me and trust me." "I- I only heard a little… h-I didn't hear everything." He smiled in relief once hug me, what is he afraid of? I sighed, it looks like Magnus has no plans to tell me everything that happened ah. "I'm sorry Goddess, but you really can't know." Napa-tilt naman ang ako ng ulo, what does he mean? I'm a 'reincarnated' character and I have a mission. Of course I need to know this. But I was not able to say because, this 'reincarnation' thing about me is still a secret and it is forbidden to tell others according to Rios. How am I supposed to keep Mel safe when I don't even know what's going on? Can I trust him? should I trust him? "But can you at least, fill me in the missing details?" sad I said. "Just a little please? About where you are from or… " "Okay fine. Hays, I didn't really come to you. " He whispered so my face lit up. he scratched his head and crossed his arms. "But I'll just tell you what I want to say, not what you wanted to know ok?" well it sounds pretty ok to me and at least he's saying something. "Thank you!" I thanked him, he smiled back at me. wow, since Magnus came back. He was always smiling. And at least he's back, that's all that matters. Guess he's also glad he's back? ~~~~~~ Fast-forward ~~~~~~~ "So you're telling me, there are clones found here?" Magnus asked confused, "Not only that, you and the crowned prince are together !?" Why does he seem even more worried that Gareth and I are together than the clones that appear here on campus? "Yeah, can't you see we're working together to protect my future queen?" Gareth replied annoyed to Magnus. We are now at the library, where me and Gareth always do our work to dispose of the clones. Since he is the crowned prince… He has the right to order that the library not be entered first or that it be closed so that no one can hear. We only tell Magnus about the incident about the clones because if the school management finds out, we will not be able to investigate. That's why Gareth and I decided not to tell anyone, we'll just say if we already know who's up to it. Magnus hasn't told me the reason since I asked him last, but I'm being patient right now so I'll just wait. Also it's been 2 days since the last incident about the attack. The situation calmed down immediately because the school management hired a lot of knights Just to protect the campus, there is also an upcoming sports fest tomorrow so they are ready. It is forbidden to postpone because it is their tradition… I don't think a tons of knights or tons of wizards can defeat a monster like that. That monster can withstand a magical barrier no? Which means the summoner is also very powerful. "What do you think? Will the one who summoned that monster connect with magic? " Gareth asked, but Magnus shook his head. "I'm not sure, it's mixed. It had faint magic in the demon I was fighting. There is a possibility that the summons and the non -summons are the same. " –Magnus. "But that's just a wild guess, since I feel very little here." Magnus clenched his fist when he touched the clone again. "Well we're doomed, even the wizard prodigy doesn't know who did it." Gareth exclaimed. I stared at Magnus… Magnus was looking outside the window and seemed to be staring. Who was he looking at? I would also look in case he suddenly snapped his fingers. Did he already know? "I think they will come out again this sports fest, just a gut feeling but I trust what I feel." Gareth and I scratched his head at the same time, what? "So let's say he's the only one, who is this person aiming at?" Gareth asked. "Yes, of course Princess Mel is one of her targets. But who is the one? Me or Erina? " I asked another question, Magnus smirked. "That's what we're going to find out tomorrow." "We need to find out as soon as possible, many are affected and not just Princess Lucy." Gareth said, we heard a faint beep or something. Magnus and I were surprised but I think it came from Gareth. "Oops, time to stalk my princess. I'll just make sure he's okay. " Magnus and I couldn't answer, but Gareth left. I looked out the window where Magnus was looking earlier… Who is he staring at here? super many students are on the ground today. Everyone is busy for the open sports fest. I saw Prince Gareth getting out of the building, I also saw Mel carrying a big box. I also saw Erina and King, they seem to be getting along. Maybe they were talking when Erina and I were hospitalized, I want to hear about it in case I can't meet King. Maybe because he's busy with Erina lately? I just didn't want to talk to her about what happened to them and Erina, "So Lady Hera? Wanna head out and eat somewhere? " I slowly looked at him with my eyebrows raised. Is he forgetting something? he has more to tell me ah? "It's been a couple of days Lord Magnus, maybe you want to tell me where you were from that night?" he won't tell me who he's talking to. Atsaka he also does not isha-share who did all this. He's being secretive, should I ask Rios about this? Maybe he knows something right? "Fine, you know I'm a wizard prodigy, right?" he lazily said and sighed while sitting on one of the library chairs. "Yeah?" "There is also a situation happening outside the campus, the school allowed me to go since it was an emergency. That night I got an emergency so I left immediately without saying goodbye. " He starts. "It's not just here on campus that is in trouble, but also outside the campus. But it looks like the situation there is ok that's why I immediately got back when you called me. " "I didn't think there was one here, so calling my name was the best choice Goddess." -Magnus So what he's saying is it's not just here that there is a demon summons? As well as outside? That's weird, this didn't happen in the novel- Wait it happened but it didn't happen before Erina and Gareth developed. Why did they go out so early? Is everything going wrong because not everyone agrees with the novel? Because of that, Magnus also died. "Are you ok? Did you get hurt when you fought with the non? " I saw him smirked, why is he grinning? What if he was hurt badly? What if he dies there? "I thought you'd be angry because I didn't say goodbye to you. But you're more concerned in my health than that then? " he said. Will he win ?! of course I didn't have time to get angry when I found out the explanation about his situation. "All right, just laugh with that laugh, what If you got hurts?" "I'm strong, goddess." Well he said he was strong but he died in the novel, I wish what was in the novel wouldn't happen again. "You ready for tomorrow?" Gareth and Magnus and I have a plan, this plan is just for the three of us and there is nothing more to say. "Y-yeah, I'm nervous though. I don't know how to kill someone like that. " -Me Of course I can't kill that thing? It's made of magic and I don't have magic, duh. "Don't worry Goddess, just call my name. I will come too, just don't lose the necklace. " ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ' I don't know why I was even included in the sports fest, I have an injury. but the school said so otherwise so I had no choice but to join. I'm doing this baseball game but it's not called baseball. I forgot but this is just a normal game, not like soccer and basketball games. As long as they have a fantasy name I just forgot ok? I'm not interested because I don't want to get hurt. Gareth and King are in basketball. Magnus? That didn't participate, my game ended easily. Thank God there are still normal games that exist in this world. I saw the soccer-like before but they were in the air playing soccer with flying shoes or something. as long as I don't know, I'm the one who's afraid of those who play. The reason why I didn't join much is because I became cautious. Magnus told me about it and he said that I should also be careful because Erina might not be the target. Mel is somewhere in the fashion show, I'm sure all the games will be over now because everyone will be performing in our cheerdance. Hmmm I should look for Magnus, I'll just ask him again later. I'm on the ground with full of booths and stalls… Oh Cotton candy, can I buy this? Maybe I should buy two for Magnus when I see him. "Can I buy!" "Here." I happily accepted the cotton candy, it was colorful like the necklace Magnus gave. I wonder where he is. I don't know if lately I prefer to be with Magnus, I'm finding an excuse just to talk to him. Like asking dumb questions or something. It's like I don't want to avoid him because I realized when he left me. I hate that feeling that got stuck on my chest everyday. As long as he doesn't avoid me or leave me. I'm fine, but what if he sees someone else? What will I do? well since I'm his fan. Of course I will support him right? masakit man but seeing him and talking to him is just enough. As I was walking around I suddenly smiled because I noticed his familiar back. He was on the side with a lot of trees so I approached him a little. Is he sleeping here? There is also a mini fence so I just looked and saw Magnus there. As expected maybe he was sleeping there- "Huh?" I was surprised because I just noticed that he was with a woman. It's not a student. Is she a teacher? I'm tall because I feel like I have a matured body Magnus turned around and the girl was talking to Magnus. The woman is a little taller, she has black hair in case I can't see her face. She's also wearing a black dress outfit so I wondered, is there a black team color here? nothing right? So who is she? She looks like a black lady or something. I immediately covered my mouth when the girl started to lean on Magnus and the woman whispered something, she even smiled when she whispered something to Magnus Then kissed Magnus' cheeks… did she just… kissed him? WHO IS SHE? TO BE CONTINUED...
