The Vase

Chapter: I entered the academy cafeteria with Maya and Julia, but I walked as though my body was here while my mind was somewhere else.Ever since I met Princess Navarin, my thoughts hadn't calmed down for even a moment. The look we had exchanged, the strange feeling that had overwhelmed me, and the scattered memories that had begun appearing in my mind... they all kept swirling inside me without stopping, to the point that I could no longer tell what was happening around me.I carried my tray with both hands as I silently moved along the lunch line. A cafeteria worker stood behind the counter, serving food to the students one after another. Then he looked at me with a smile and asked,"Would you like some vegetables with your meal, miss?"I didn't hear him.He kept looking at me, waiting for an answer, while I continued staring into space as though I hadn't heard a single word.Suddenly, I felt someone gently shake my shoulder."Iris!"I quickly turned to find Maya looking at me wit

Marks of Heritage

Chapter: After she said those words, I could only stare at her in shock, unable to comprehend anything that was happening.My mind was overflowing with questions, but only two kept repeating themselves over and over. How did she know about the mark engraved on my leg? And how did she know that I wasn't from this world?It wasn't a secret that anyone could discover easily. Even I still didn't know the truth about what was happening to me. I gripped the edge of the chair as I stared at her cold face, then asked in a hesitant voice filled with astonishment,"How... how did you know?"Princess Navarin's expression didn't change. She continued looking at me with her steady blue eyes before saying coldly,"Do you think I'm a fool? Any prince or princess with a keen eye for observation would know that you don't belong to this world."A tightness gripped my chest, and my eyes widened involuntarily.If she had discovered it that easily... then was it possible that the others had figured it ou

The Hidden Truth

Chapter: After Prince Oliver left, I hurried back to the academy campus. Only one question kept circling relentlessly through my mind a question that left me unable to think about anything else.Did Kevin really know that I was human or not?The more I remembered Princess Navarin's words, the more unsettled I became. I started to feel as though everyone around me might have been hiding the truth from me from the very beginning.That was why I ran toward the apartment as fast as I could, until my breathing became ragged and my chest rose and fell from exhaustion.The moment I arrived, I grabbed the doorknob, threw the door open, and stepped inside, struggling to catch my breath.I looked up to find Kevin standing in front of the refrigerator, holding a glass of water and calmly drinking from it. The instant our eyes met, his eyes widened. Then he suddenly spat out the water and burst into laughter, pointing at me as he said,"Look at you! What happened? Was someone chasing you?"I qui

Whispers Behind the Doors

The Chapter: Kevin’s looks were so strange that they made me feel as though I shouldn’t have asked him that question.He didn’t answer me directly. Instead, he kept staring at my face for several long seconds, until it seemed to me that time had stopped inside the apartment. His eyes were fixed on me as if they were searching for something, while I kept looking at him expectantly, trying to read what was going through his mind. Suddenly, and without any introduction, he let out a long laugh while lightly shaking his head.I said in confusion, “Kevin... what’s wrong?”He slowly raised his hand and placed it on top of my head, then pulled me toward him again until my face was pressed against his chest. I felt the warmth of his body penetrating through my clothes, and all I could hear was the sound of his heartbeat, which was beating noticeably fast, making me raise my eyebrows in surprise. He remained silent for a few moments, then finally said in a calm voice:“And how could I not hav

Whispers Before the Ball

Chapter: As soon as Princess Sophia and Lola finished their conversation, I began hearing the sound of their footsteps gradually moving away across the shiny bathroom floor. I breathed a sigh of relief, thinking they had finally left, and leaned against the stall door as I tried to regain my composure. But suddenly, their footsteps stopped in front of the door behind which I was sitting, and then a light knock sounded against it.Lola said in a sarcastic tone as she chuckled lightly:“Iris... next time, join the conversation instead of hiding.”Princess Sophia burst into laughter, then said as she walked away:“Come on, let’s leave her alone.”Their footsteps moved farther away until they disappeared completely, while I remained standing in my place, feeling as though my face was burning from embarrassment.I muttered in annoyance:“They knew I was here the entire time...”I waited a few more seconds, then slowly stepped out of the bathroom stall. I approached the sink and turned on
