Chapter Thirty-Three Nina's POV. My head is empty and I think my brain burst for a moment. I felt a headache coming to me. This day is not even over yet, something like this happens again. But why!? isn't the dear prince busy? I mean he's the crown prince, he could hire more excellent tutors and teachers. It's not really required to study at the Academy! Argh! I think blood pressure rose due to stress. I can take the banquet and ball because it's just a one time moment but when he studied at the Academy it would be everyday hell. Not to mention he was rumored to be crazy, what could I do against the crown prince!? it's not like I'm Gina who can capture anyone's heart. Huh!? Wait!? why should I make it a problem, it's not me, right? Ugh... I almost forgot that I'm not the one in illuminating Darkness. How stupid of me to forget that. If the rumor is true, I would just stay away and mind my own business. I don't need to confront him. I took a deep breath of relief. "What's w
Chapter Thirty-Four. Nina's POV. We were all suddenly silent when the little old man suddenly shouted. If I would describe him, his height is probably at 4'11, his complexion is pale, green eyes, and he has curly white long hair. And he is also wearing an ancient looking gray wizard robe. That only makes him stand out more, he wasn't wearing the regular teacher's uniform. So, he is Teacher Fernando? I thought it was just strict? But why does the world seem so angry? I think Rita's description is different from what I see now. His gruff face stared at us all, his heavy footsteps echoed on the wooden platform. He also had a wooden stick as tall as one and a half rulers. He stopped going back and fort and glared at everyone. Suddenly I swallowed because the presence it brought was really different. He might look a little old but you can easily tell from his aura that he isn't just a plain old man. His gaze was so scary that I immediately looked away. He suddenly snapped his wood
Chapter Thirty-Five. Nina's POV For a moment, I thought my heart beat stopped for a second. My body is shaking and both of my hands are sweaty and cold for the unexplainable emotions brewing inside my heart. I looked blankly at the void, staring at nothing as I felt that the whole place stopped and all that was there was dead silence. The silence was loud and defining that it's making my heartbeat run like a roller coaster. Did I really hear right? Could it be that my hearing is just playing with me? Did I really do that right? But what if I'm just assuming too much? I don't want to get sad and be disappointed for having my hopes high. I'm starting to doubt myself even more because my whole being is a mess right now. I was surprised when I suddenly felt a pair of warm hands holding my wrist. My eyes widened and I suddenly looked in Kaiden's direction. When I look at him, I see his face covered with worry and his eyes are definitely asking what's wrong. That's when I realized w
Chapter Thirty-Six.Someone is crying!I am sure of it. But who the hell would be crying in my consciousness? What drama is this?I continued to search in the pitch darkness, even though I cannot see anything I'm sure I felt a presence earlier. I walked in the middle of the darkness not knowing if I'm in the right path, all I know is that the sound is getting louder and clearer.As I continue walking, I suddenly step into something wet. I suddenly got the shivers; my skin felt a sharp chill and coldness crawling through the back of my spine. I immediately took a step back, feeling the dry yet cold surface of the land.What the hell was that?It stuck to me that the crying sound can no longer be heard. I was rooted in my place, thinking what I should do. Should I continue walking or stop?But what happened next didn't give me the time to think. A drop of something wet hit my palm and arm.Suddenly, drops of rain are starting to pour. I was confused about why it is raining, but I don't
Chapter Thirty-Seven.Nina's POVI already know myself that I'm quite an unlucky person. From my life before I was transported here, I have a few memorable unlucky experiences like epic fail moments with strangers and being stabbed in a dark alley. Now being transported into a body of suspicious wicked dame and many more unlucky encounters with such characters!I thought maybe I'm just quite unlucky. We all experience bad luck from time to time.But this is too much of a bad luck! This is definitely a cursed! A cursed that clings to me ever since I was born.But who would curse a cute anti-social girl like me!? Did I do some bad stuff in my previous life for me to deserve this? Well, I did some bad stuff on earthly cheating and judging secretly but that's all! I didn't burn a continent or cause a destruction of mankind or summon a calamity for karma to hit me so hard that it curses me.This is absolutely ridiculous to the point that I just want to think that this is all a dream. So ri
Chapter Thirty-EightNina's POVThe tone of her voice changed, the jolly atmosphere she was caring burst like a bubble. She still had that sweet smile plastered on her lips, but her eyes turned sharp.A small drop of venom seems to fill the air. I cannot fully express this kind of aura, but it feels like a rat being observed by a hawk, ready to catch anytime.Calm down Nina.Make your heart steady, any change of demeanor or subtle change of breathing can give her so much information.She's here to ask about my health, not to interrogate me nor does she feel suspicious. I can't overthink for now; it may cause me an arm and a leg.Stay calm, you have already been exposed to too many surprises. This shouldn't be enough to make you lose your cool Nina.But what should be my response? If I talk too much it might appear too odd, if I talk less, it will appear as if I'm hiding something. A perfect response is not an option, as perfection does not exist. It would also cause some suspension.R
Nina's POVWhat!???My heart skipped for second!That's all!? It was different from what I had imagined or predicted.Did you just admit something like that to the person you found annoying and hated?! Is there no 'in your imagination?' 'stop assuming' or something along the lines?That was indeed unexpected! I keep forgetting what I should answer.I mentally prepared an answer if he ever denied or ignored my teasing.Lord Ethan is so straightforward! What if I'm sad at heart!? I'm already dead! Is he not going to admit something like that? Men in earth cannot do that, scared to be looked at and called simple, fragile, or under. Which is nonsense in my opinion.He's really a lady killer!Arghhh that was no fun! I though it would turn into a petty revenge but to my surprise, it turned into something I didn't like. It left me agape and flushed.And it turns out my revenge would be null as it turns out he didn't leave me behind.I coughed slightly, noting my expression and posture as if
Nina's POVMy expression almost broke down. My eyes widen in shock as the pupils shrink into the size of a needle. My hands turned cold and was even silently trembling.In that instant, I even believed that I had transmigrated back. However, the elegant lamp surrounded by brass grids and the silver-inlaid tin, the books, and the whole place was quite sparkling, made me recognize the reality I was in."What are you doing?!"A voice boomed out of nowhere.I jolted awake as I hurriedly straightened my back and checked my posture.For a second, I thought my heart fell from my chest. I even let out a small gasp and immediately turned my head to look at my back.A familiar outline can be seen, with a familiar 4'11 height, with his pale complexion, charmingly green eyes, and a curly white long hair. I immediately recognize who it is.Teacher Fernando!I was feeling both confused and ashamed. Could he remember me? One of his students on history who made a scene and just fainted.Juskooo embar
