How to Become a Person in a Novel World

Chapter 005: Journey to the Academy (Nilam)

Being a member of a large royal family means taking on very important responsibilities. Although not as king or crown prince, I still have my own role for the Sapphire Kingdom in the world of politics on the continent. Therefore, I must be the most perfect figure in my position as the Second Princess of the Sapphire Kingdom.

Attitude, ethics, and level. Actually, I don't want to care too much about things like that. However, I was forced to care about it because of my elite standing.

People look at me high. They always give me a lot of compliments. Every model of clothing that I use will be imitated and become a trend in high-class society, especially in my Sapphire Kingdom.

“Hmph! They were too exaggerated,” muttered me as I stared at the capital's ever-more distant gate. I am grateful that my father and mother would grant my request to study abroad. In the Diamond Kingdom later on, the atmosphere would not be exactly the same as in the Sapphire Kingdom. I can definitely get a new experience there.

“Mr Princess, are you okay?” asked a short, shoulder-length brunettes girl who was looking at me with worried rippling water, “It will be a long journey. Please patience. We will arrive at Diamond Kingdom within three weeks.”

“That's too long,” I reply ketus.

“Enthusiasm, Princess. We will soon enjoy the beautiful days at Gem Academy,” said the girl gave support. Her name is Sari. She was an orphan girl who happened to meet me while I was walking around in the city of L– when I was eight years old. I see him as having promising talent. That's why I picked him up as my servant. In accordance with expectations, he was able to pass the academic exam and get a scholarship from the Sapphire Kingdom to attend school with me. “

“Hm,” I nodded small with a thin smile. My eyes looked back out the window. The newly planted sea of green wheat looks beautiful there. It's not bad either. Although this trip was quite long and tiring, I might be able to try to enjoy it.

Evanna de Saphira's. The Second Princess of Sapphire Kingdom. She is the most graceful princess figure so that it becomes a guideline for the ladies in her kingdom. In addition to avoiding troublesome things and studying, he went abroad with an important duty as an honorary ambassador for the Sapphire Kingdom in the Diamond Kingdom. Any decision would be the foreign policy of the Safir Kingdom. She was a cold, alert, and meticulous girl. As a princess who was used to being praised, her eyes were very observant in distinguishing comrades and opponents, let alone a sycophant who would probably stab her in the back at any time.

“We finally reached the border,” I said as soon as I saw the monument of friendship that stuck dashing at the crossroads. Two weeks passed without feeling. In a matter of days, I will arrive at the Gem Academy, the most prestigious academy in the Western Continent. I don't really care about the ‘best’ frills, but I'm quite pounding when I imagine the exciting life I'm going to live there.

“Mr Princess, look!” exciting Sari carefree, “We have arrived in Bandar Harapan City.”

“Yeah, we will rest for a while in this city,” I said lightly. Bandar Harapan City was the first city we visited after passing through the monument at the border. It was a port city that became the center of trade routes between the Western Continents and the Great Mainland, even the Oriental Continent. The merchants who came to our country also must have passed through this city.

“Sari,” I have to invite my waiter to have fun here, “Let's take a walk and look around this city.”

“Good, Mr. Princess,” reply Sari spirit, “I will prepare all your needs.”

Sari and I also explored the City of Hope all day. We wore the standard clothes commonly worn by merchant princesses so as not to be conspicuous. The bodyguards followed us quietly so as not to interfere according to my orders.

The City of Hope is very crowded and unique. I tasted various types of marine culinary diverse. There are fish, squid, even oysters seasoned with special spices. According to the chef I asked, the spices came from the Oriental Continent, lands far east of the world.

In the middle of that culinary safari, I saw a very chatty young man. He bragged that he would attend Gem Academy from this semester. That means, he'll be one generation with me.

“Sari, we may find unique things throughout the education period in the academy later,” I said when I saw the young man in good clothes from inside a cafeteria. Hearing my words, Sari became more excited. “True, right, Princess? We will definitely have an interesting experience there. I can't wait to see it.”

The long days of travel passed quickly. We finally reached Intan City, the Capital of Diamond Kingdom. There was still a few days before the academy opened. I also came to our embassy building in this kingdom. We stayed there for a few days to take care of this and that. After our business was done, then we left for the Gem Academy.

As a prestigious elite academy, Gem Academy requires its students and students to stay in dormitories, even if they are a prince or princess. They want to teach independence to the future next generation of the kingdom. All students and students are treated equally without any difference.

Well, that's how the labels are affixed to the academy. But what happens on the ground is not so. In fact, elites such as the royal family or the upper class noble count will get a nicer and separate dormitory, while those who used to share a room with others–depends on the money paid to the academy anyway. Basically, this academy is a manifestation of socio-political life and aristocracy for the students. They will all establish relationships and competition since attending school here.

I wouldn't be surprised if there was legal inequality and partisanship in the Gem Academy. Before leaving, I had gathered the information I would have needed during my stay abroad, including political opponents and figures I should be wary of. If I wanted to, I might be able to find the embodiment of the corruptors, bribers, and opportunists here. But that's not what I need. I just need to ….

“Sari, instead of her ..” I said as soon as I saw the red-haired girl who just came out of the auditorium. Sari nodded, then confirmed my guess, “True, Princess. She's Lady Amelia Ruby. The figure of the most shining young girl in the Diamond Kingdom.”

“Wah, isn't this interesting?” well, I'm pretty interested in that flashy girl, “Let's go to her.”

Amelia Ruby is known as a kind-hearted and open figure to anyone, in contrast to me who tends to be vigilant and selective in choosing allies or opponents. With his sublime character, he deserves to be the protagonist in a fantasy novel. If he were the protagonist, would I be the opposite?
