I looked at Dixie who was still smirking at me like she did something really good.
For someone who keeps bragging her wealth and noble status, she sure has the big mouth to talk to.
"Welcome to our new year in our Academy."
I heard the headmaster said, but my attention was on their group as Dixie was inveigling the other student to what she was saying.
"What is a pathetic like you doing here?"
I looked at the newly arrived woman who seems to be older than me for three years looked up me with disgust in her eyes.
"And who are you?"
I asked as I raised my brow at her and she seems to be offended at what I said.
"Excuse me?!" She exclaimed as she couldn't believe I talked back to her.
"You may go."
I said coldly and I saw her put her right hand on her chest dramaticaly like she was surprised at what I said.
"What did she say?"
She said as she was looking at her group like she can't believe what just happened.
"She talked back to you, Liara."
Dixie said as she even looked at me with smugness on her face.
Liara, Liara Bowern is the daughter of the rich Count from the south, she was one of the person who likes picking at Navia since, Declan doesn't care about her at all students in their Academy didn't give her some respects and bullied her througout her years in this place.
Navia of course fought back, but she has no one, everyone here twists the story and made it like it was all her fault all the time.
And those stupid councils in the school believes it and she was kicked out after three years of her stay here.
"You little rat! Do you know who I am?"
She yelled as she looked at me with anger on her eyes.
"And If I do? What is it to you?"
I said as my eyes roamed around to see whether someone noticed us, but they were busy listening to the headmaster.
"You knew, and still dare to talk back at me?"
She said as her eyes were bulging in anger.
"Why wouldn't I dare, it wasn't me who's at fault."
I said as I covered my mouth just like what the teacher taught me in the house, which made her more frustrated than while ago.
"You brat! You are nothing without you're name, your father and brother didn't even care about you."
Dixie was the one who said it, and she even looked at Liara after she said those words to my face as if she was trying to get her approval with something.
"That's right, you should learn your place here."
Liara said as she even smirked at me while crossing her two arms.
"I heard she was a mundane"
I heard them said and I saw at the corner of my eyes Camilla smiled to what they were saying.
And here are the people saying I am the bully one, when it was clearly I got ganged up by them.
"I heard she was too uncouth that her teacher who stayed by her side left her too."
I heard the woman who was near Camilla.
"For some rich high born like you all, you are worst than a rumour-smiths."
I said as I gave them a dead looked before turning my back at them.
It was just a waste of time to talk to someone who thinks so highly themselves, but act worst than those churls.
After the headmaster speech he told us to go to our designated classroom, and to my disappointment, Dixie and the other was also there.
"What are you doing here again?"
She asked as she pointed her finger at me.
"Like why you are here."
I said as I choose one of the chair.
"Get out of here, this is not for some mundane like you."
She said as she rolled her eyes at me.
"Mundane?"
I asked as I sighed, right.
Everyone thought Navia doesn't have a power, but that wasn't true, she always hides her power as she knew everyone will suspect her of using some forbidden magic or form a pact with a demon.
"Yes, you're a mundane."
Dixie said as she even smirked at me before looking at the whole class who laughed at what she said.
"What is she doing here in our class? Isn't she supposed to trained alongside those mundane who entered this room?"
I heard one of the boy's said as he was frowning while looking at me, like I am someone who wasn't belong in this place.
"Maybe she used something to make the headmaster put her here, beside her father is still a duke." The girl in front of him said as she looks at me and smiled.
"But doesn't the duke hate her for causing her mother's death?"
The other boy who was wearing glasses said as he stared at me, he didn't looked my like the way those other students looked at me.
"Yes, she caused the duchess death that is why her family hates her."
Dixie said as she smirked at me.
"Stop it, Dix."
I heard Camilla stopped her, but when I looked at her, I saw that she was smiling.
This absurbed woman who likes to play some green tea two face.
"And what is that thing doing in our room?"
One of the girl said as she was pointing at Camilla disgustingly.
"Oh my, why are we in the same class as someone who was born in such a lowly blood."
The others starts looking down on Camilla and gone the smiling face she was hiding, and was replaced with anger for a second before it became watery.
"I would rather stay with this mundane here, after all she was born noble, unlike someone, who likes inserting herself in a society where she wasn't belong."
I looked at the girl and saw it was the girl who speak up to Dixie.
"Really? Are you for real Kanaya?"
I heard Dixie exclaimed as she looked at the girl named Kanaya.
"Why? Her being a mundane is just a rumor, whereas Camilla being born from some lowly slave was real."
She said as she gets something in her bag.
"You think it's just a rumor? Huh, that girl is useless , that is why she was ignored by her own family, she's nothing but a jinx." Dixie pointed at me angrily while she was hugging Camilla who was crying in her embrace.
"Isn't it the same to your friend? Her mother was just some lowly slave who climbed to the baron's bed and looked, she wasn't even acknowledge by her own sisters, and like her mother, she was trying to climbed to the prince bed, how vicious at such a young age."
Kanaya said as she was pointing at Camilla who cries more.
"Rion will kill you if he heard you mocked Camilla."
Dixie said as she looked at Kanaya before looking at me angrily.
Right, she has a prince as her protector.
I looked at Kanaya and our eyes meet.
"Don't thank me, I only did it as my cousin Emily is your friend ."
She said before turning her back on me.
I wasn't going to thank her, I was about to say that she doesn't need to meddle with nonsene arguement with those group.
The teacher entered, but if Dixie's eyes were dagger I would have drop there dead the entire class.
After the class finish, I went out to get some food at the cafeteria as I remember that we are required to still roam at the this academy as for someone who never been there.
I saw my so-called brother with the someone as they seems to be talking something serious as I could even see him clenching his fist.
"Oh my, Your Highness!"
I looked at the person who shouts and it was Dixie who's eyes are sparkling as she was calling someone.
Your highness?
I could feel my heartbeat beating fast, it wasn't for love, but scared as I was trying to avoid the pyscopath prince who tortured Navia in the story for wronging Camilla along with the other male characters.
I need to calm, besides there are many prince's here at the academy, all of the royal heir was studying here.
"Is that his highness, Rion?"
I looked around as I heard someone said from not far.
No...
I looked at the boy who was walking towards where Dixie and Camilla are.
His face doesn't show any emotions, and there was something in him that would make you stay away.
Like he was surrounded with a dark aura.
"What are you doing here?"
I looked at person who said that.
"Why? Am I not allowed here too?"
I asked as I looked at Declans pissed face.
"If you are here to get Rion's attention again -"
"I am here to eat, not for someone."
I said as I cut him from saying to stay away again, as If I would dare, I plan to live my life without doing anything aside from studying, and not to get bullied and looked down by people again.
The things I regret doing in my past life.
I snorted at him in annoyance before turn my back to get outside as he already ruined the atmosphere, I guess breaking one rule isn't that bad?
I walked my way to my room and will eat there.
