How to Become a Person in a Novel World
Chapter 011: It's Just Rumors (Mirah)
"Ely, you're ready, right?" I asked as soon as I entered Eleanor's room right next to mine. I came to her room with Viona. We will soon be leaving for the White Melati Palace together.
“I'm ready, Lia,” replied Eleanor who appeared wearing a lemon-colored dress. The dress matched her blond. He also invited cheerfully, “Let's leave now.”
“This is my first time to the White Melati Palace,” said Viona origin picked up the topic as we walked in the hallway of the dormitory leading to the exit, “The palace is close to the academy, right? I've been curious for a long time, but a little afraid to just look at it.”
“Quiet,” I pat Viona's shoulder slowly. I've been to White Melati Palace a few times with my father. We went there to visit Princess Diamond I and meet my aunt, Grand Duchess Margaretha Lambordy. The grand duchess is my father's sister.
“Princess Diamond I is a good daughter,” I know what Viona is thinking, so I directly defend the princess, “All the curses are mere rumors. You will know after meeting him later.”
“Grass rumors?” a bright blond girl interrupted my words. He was standing at the end of the hallway with several other girls. A luxurious fan covered half of his face. “I remember that there were a lot of people who got unlucky after meeting the girl. You will probably be next after this.”
“Hm?” I looked at the lady without letting out my smile. I can't be rash. Do not show a gap in front of the opponent. “Lady Luxen, your words are outrageous. You should not associate other people's problems with others who are not concerned.”
She is Catharina Luxen, the eldest daughter of Duke Luxen. We're classmates. Since childhood, we have been compared. People always thought that we were rivals, but actually I never thought so. Well, the Ruby Family and the Luxen Family have indeed been competing for a long time, even though our ancestors were close friends in the past.
“That's a fact, Lady,” Lady Luxen refuted me, “Siang this too, my friends got unlucky because of the other girl.”
“True,” added a girl who is one of the followers of Lady Luxen, “We fell into the park while following her earlier.”
“Why did you guys fall into the park?” many wonder. If not mistaken, the girl was Luna Haven, one of Count Haven's daughters from the south.
“That's because of the curse,” another girl replied. She was Bella Aqua, the daughter of Viscount Aqua who was also from the south. “Si the white ghost must have transmitted the curse to us.”
“Yes, he looked at us coldly before leaving,” connect the shortest girl. She may be May Cessel, the daughter of Viscount Cassel. “The gaze alone scares me.”
“If you're scared, why are you following him?” actually, my first question is still unanswered. They have been grumbling ever since. Only the original answers came out of their verbs.
“It ...,” May bowed, unable to answer my question.
“Hmph! Never mind,” Lady Luxen also took over, “Just let Lady Ruby if she wants to be hit by bala.”
“Do you think I will be hit by reinforcements after meeting Princess Diamond I?” tanyaku relax. Since she doesn't even respect the princess, I don't need to speak formally to the leader of the ladies from the south. “You're wrong, Lady Luxen. I always get lucky every time I visit the White Melati Palace. If the princess invites you, you better take it. We go first. Goodbye.”
I invited Eleanor and Viona to leave immediately and left Lady Luxen who was still hiding her face behind the fan. We wasted a lot of time because of him. The horse carriage parked in front had been waiting for a long time. It seems like we're going to be a little late there.
“Halo, Aunty,” my sap is familiar once it reaches the courtyard of Melati Putih Palace. As usual, Aunt Margaret was waiting for us there. He always welcomes me whenever I come here.
“You're late, Lia,” scolds Aunt Margaretha, “Since when did the Ruby Family daughter ignore her promise like this?”
“That,” I turned my eyes in another direction, powerless to look at Aunt Margaretha's eyes, “Sorry, there was a little problem that hindered us before leaving earlier. So, we came a little late.”
“Hah ...,” Aunt Margaretha sighed in understanding. Grand Duchess Lambordy also reminded me, “Deliver that apology to the princess later. Come follow me.”
“Good!” I'm according, “Ely, Vio, let's go there.”
“Mr Princess,” call Aunt Margaretha as soon as we reach the park where the meeting is held, “Lady Ruby, Lady Ros, and Miss Morgan have arrived.”
Princess Diamond I welcomed us warmly. A friendly smile fell on her beautiful face. Her snow-white hair made her look even more seductive. He also invited us to sit down.
“Sorry because we arrived late, Mr. Princess,” I kept my word with Aunt Margaretha. I knew that auntie wouldn't be out of the park until I had an appointment. “There was a little problem that hindered us earlier. I hope, you will forgive our unintentional negligence.”
“That's no problem, Lia,” reply Princess Diamond I sincerely, “I should instead thank you for coming with your friends.”
“Of course we should come if invited,” I am happy with the airy attitude of this white-haired princess. To me, he was already like a great big brother even though we rarely met. He was two years older than all of us here. If his eyesight had not disappeared, he would definitely have become a popular senior in the Gem Academy.
We talked a lot in the park. The White Melati Palace entertained us very well. In the middle of the event, the princess took us to her private library. Doing that makes friends surprised. Although Princess Diamond I could not see, she was a young girl who loved to read and write.
“Braille Letters?” Viona frowned on the way to the library. He was the most surprised when he heard the princess's invitation.
“It was an embossed printed letter made by Louis Braille, a blind man from a country in the western continent,” I was clearly straightforward, “At first, the letter was not recognized by the world, even his own country. Letters in the form of points arise was only recognized after he died.”
“If the princess can read, shouldn't she be able to attend the academy?” the question came out of Eleanor's mouth when we got to the library door.
“True, it would be nice if I could attend school with you guys,” Princess Diamond I answered that question directly. Eleanor was surprised to find that her voice could still be heard by the princess.
“But, it will definitely trouble the academy and the people around me,” continued Princess Diamond I, “Academy also objected to receiving a blind student like me. Even so, I am grateful for still being able to learn a lot in this vast palace.”
“Welcome, Princesses and Ladies alike,” a female librarian welcomes our arrival. I know that woman. He was a young scholar who came from outside the continent. The clothes she wears are very beautiful and unique. The clothes covered his entire body except the face and palms. She is a kind and caring woman. His name was the scholar Amina bint Idris.
