The Bloom At Royal Harem's
11. Hi, Hello Hello!
Nachella POV's
I looked around, until accidentally my eyes saw a man who from the beginning I wanted to avoid. But in fact, the man is now in front of me, looking at me who is also staring at him. Until I didn't realize there were too many people coming to this place.
“We meet again, Putri” said the man.
I smiled bitterly before greeting her which also followed Vio by bowing 90 degrees.
“Yes, greetings from my Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Visilion Empire may Goddess Anocia protect you”.
I saw Felix who seemed to be sharing his thin smile covered in cold face, making some noble princesses who were around him scream hysterically as if forgetting the manners he had learned.
“Chella, finally we meet again?” said a noble princess who suddenly came to hug me until it almost made me stagger back if Brother Vio did not hold it.
I immediately let go of the hug to see the face of the noble princess who had for no reason called me with a familiar call. Because all this time there was not a single noble close to me. Until the face of the brown-eyed girl who was smiling widely and seemed warm, but did not know with her heart. All right, I know that negative thinking is not good. But this woman is the mastermind of my death.
Basic, fox!, I said in my heart and then joined in with a fake smile.
“Greetings from me, Miss Katterina”.
Of course, I didn't really salute him. Moreover, my position and position is higher than her, which is only the daughter of the minister in the kingdom led by my father. So supposedly, Katterina could be aware of her position and could not call out my name with a familiar call that even I had no intention of getting along with.
“Excuse my carelessness, Princess. I am Katterina, greeting the Princess of the Kingdom of Courlage..” he said was cut off, his eyes immediately looked to his left side which contained Felix and then smiled as gently as possible.
“I greet His Highness the Crown Prince of the Visilion Empire may Goddess Anocia protect you. His smile was still on his face staring at Felix who was still staring straight at me.
Woho, what kind of incident is this?, I thought to myself after seeing the position of me, Felix, and Katterina shaped like an arbitrary triangle.
I looked at the two people in turn, a knotty smile started to thin on my lips. My feet slowly began to take a swing to go avoid the two that were the incarnations of the angel of death in my life.
Before leaving here, I had indeed established myself to avoid meetings and closeness with them as much as possible, of course I had planned it because I already knew that they would enter the academy two years earlier than me. Which means they are my seniors at the moment.
“Where are you, PRINCESS?” ask Felix with great emphasis at the end he said.
“Yes, Chella where are you going? I'm glad you're finally allowed into the academy, so I want to chat with you” Katterina said.
Oh, he wants a pansos turn out. Wait I will reply, I said in my heart to make me smile like a fool.
“Nona Katterina, forgive me. But I don't think we're that close, so you can call me that” I said with a faint smile that I made as sweet as possible.
Checkmate! Who told me to choose the wrong opponent?, my mind cheered happily to see Katterina's shocked face.
Now my gaze turned to Felix who was looking at me sharply. I smiled again covering all the maki and scorn that I was ready to throw at him. I quickly put my hands together in front of my chest, my face was pitiful hoping that the man would forgive me and let me go.
“Welcome princesses, princes, ladies and gentlemen. I am Frigid Verte Vandemair, the owner of this academy as good as anyone who will teach you the art of sword and sword use. As for archery will be taught by my son who happens to be currently unable to attend” said a man firmly from behind my back.
I immediately turned around to equalize my position with the other nobles. Until I saw a man I believed to be in his 30s with a stern face and a thin mustache. I still think he is young to be called a teacher.
Wait, sword? What sword in question is a real sword?, I thought to myself.
Although I know my main purpose of entering the academy other than knowing the magic I have is to train martial arts which I can later use if I am facing enemies and in other urgent circumstances. But still I was a little surprised the three people I will call the teacher mentioned the word ‘pedang’.
“Training will start tomorrow” said Frigid who was directly influenced by the nobles.
“And for you, Princess Nachella and Miss Vio your room is on the 2nd floor, number 15. Prepare yourself for tomorrow” he continued in together with a thin smile that can bind the heart, except my heart that has been locked for my father and two handsome brothers.
With quick steps, I left the room forgetting my manners and greeting. Before long, Vio came to match his steps with me which I could expect if he had given his greetings.
“Ah, hell, I don't care” I muttered so slowly that Kak Vio who was beside me just couldn't hear.
“Kak, if later I come out sooner will brother also come with my decision?” my many.
“Of course, Princess. I am here also because of you so I will follow you your decision during here” said Kak Vio.
I smiled happily. A series of activities I have arranged in my brain for me and Vio later.
Anyway when Felix and Katterina graduate, I also have to graduate as well as Kak Vio, my determination in my heart.
“Kak, let's pass 2 years faster” I told Kak Vio. I can see the shocked face of Kak Vio.
“Good, Putri” said that sounded heavy.

The night changed in the morning, the birds gave off as time went on which increasingly revealed a bluish light from the eastern horizon. The typical cold air of the countryside is inhaled to all corners of the room which now features a beautiful girl who is complete with the official uniform of the academy. A black shirt wrapped in a coat with matching colors with gold button ornaments on both sides. On his right chest, was attached a flying dragon-shaped badge carrying an ice crystal, while on the back of the badge there is a thin layer made of gold leaf-shaped and written ‘Tritilion’ below.
The girl approached the mirror looking at her own appearance, then took a hair rope made of ribbon to pigtail her hair like a ponytail. His face he left plain without the slightest polish.
“Princess, are you awake?” ask someone from behind the door.
Nachella smiled widely, staring once again at her reflection. Before walking to the door that is still closed.
“I'm even ready big brother” said the girl then opened her door which instantly got a gaze full of admiration from the girl in the same uniform as her, Vio.
“Come we leave brother!” take Nachella.
His hand held Vio's arm before stepping his foot out of the room he had been in all night. Slowly, his feet explored the path that seemed full of towering bamboo trees.
Her earlobes hear the sound of sharp objects that are mutually simple. Nachella quickly widened her steps, approaching the source of the voice that had caught her attention. Now his eyes, catching two people pointing their swords at the opponent in a large field. The two faces looked solemn with tired sweat clearly visible in both. A woman approached one of them, carrying water and a towel in her hand.
"Haish, the snake is in action" murmured Nachella in his coarse breath.
"Crown Prince, let me clean your sweat" said the woman who immediately wiped Felix's face up to the neck without the man's permission.
Nachella snorted softly at the sight before her. His feet slowly advanced towards the three, then bowed his body which also followed Vio behind him.
"Greetings Your Highness the Crown Prince, Greetings Frigid Master, Greetings Miss Katterina" he said, who was immediately asked to stand by Frigid.
His eyes caught Katterina's behavior which instantly pulled her hand back from Felix's face. At first glance, it is clearly visible in Nachella's eyes if the woman snorts cynically towards him who immediately responds to Nachella's smile.
Don't forget Felix who is now getting clumsy in his place. His eyes were wide as if avoiding the gaze his eyes met with Nachella's eyes.
Frigid smiled at Nachella, followed by an order aimed at a man at the end of the field.
"Sean, get me one more sword!" frigid's orders were immediately supported by the man who now began to walk toward them while carrying a long object that was still covered in a red velvet sheath.
"Daughter, please accept. We will practice the sword" Frigid said as he handed the sword Sean had held to him.
"Okay, Master" said he who was still smiling widely with sparkling eyes.
Hi, Hello Hello, Hello. I'm Nachella, be a good sword. Okey!!, he said inwardly as he pointed his hands forward preparing to receive his sword.
Bruk!
The sound of people falling from the end of the field immediately makes everyone focused on the origin of the sound. While the person who fell can only grimace slowly withstanding pain in his waist and wrists that seemed to break due to receiving objects that are now lying on the ground.
"Daughter, are you okay?" Vio said while helping Nachella get up from her position.
Yeah, that feller was Nachella. Nachella was surprised to find out that the object she had been waiting for was very heavy, even the marble table in her house was not as heavy as that sword.
His eyes suddenly glared in horror at the sight of the 3 people who had previously held the object called the sword.
How could they lift it so easily? While I was like a piece of cotton wrapped in iron, thought Nachella who was still grimacing in her place.
"Are you okay, Princess?" said the man named Sean who directly diverted Nachella.
Nachella looked at the man who was still very young. He was very sure that the man might be the same age as Felix. The difference was that the man was very friendly, whereas Felix was like an untouched iceberg.
"Daughter is your hearing problematic? Two people asked about your situation!" cynical Felix.
Nachella grunted softly,
"I'm sorry Crown Prince. I'm fine and thank you Vio" Nachella said.
Nachella's gaze now turned to Frigid who was also looking at her a little worried, perhaps.
"Master can I learn how to raise a sword first before going to the core of learning?" nachella asked softly while showing her puppy eyes. Yes, he did seem to have to learn how to lift that long flat object. How does he practice the sword, if he lifts himself unable?.
Frigid was silent, a moment later a faint smile was seen on his face while accompanied by a soft nod in response.
Nachella's smile was perfect.
Safety is still on my side, Nachella said, breathing with relief.

Nachella swung both of her legs into the pool to make a soft splashing sound. Her lips went forward a few inches displaying disappointment clearly imprinted on her beautiful face.
It felt like he had wasted his sleep having to dress up so that he would be ready to practice the sword on his first day of studying at the academy. But everything was in vain when his lack of knowledge arrogantly received a sword whose weight he believed exceeded his.
Nachella closed her eyes for a moment, trying to comfort her own heart. Even Vio who was always nearby he kicked out because he did not want his feelings to plunge more like being parachuted. His forehead frowned incessantly as a swipe of leaves and the clattering of footsteps drew nearer to him.
"Sister, leave me alone" Nachella said without looking back.
"Please, Princess. It's me Sean" he said with a step closer to him.
Nachella pulled her foot back from the pool, then immediately turned to the source of the voice that featured a man who was smiling sweetly at her.
"Sit down!" Nachella's orders were directly supported by the man.
"So, what's your name?" Ask Nachella.
"Izin answered, Princess"
Nachella rolled her eyes lazily. He hated people who were formal to him. Irritatedly, Nachella simply replied with a slow deheman.
"My name is Sean O'Pryverte Vandemair" he said.
Nachella opened her eyes wide. He knows who Sean really is. He is the second lead male in the story, where in the story explained if Sean fell in love with Katterina first sight. But many times his love was rejected, until at the end of the story mentioned if he had to be sentenced to death because he was accused of having intended to desecrate Katterina who had held the title as empress.
"You're surnamed Vandemair? So you're Frigid Teacher's son?" Ask Nachella.
"Yes, Princess" said Sean who was only replied oh ria by Nachella.
"Izin asked, Princess" Sean said in a tone of doubt.
Nachella snorted softly at the very, very formal speech of the man in front of her.
"Can you just call me Nachella, without carrying my title? I don't like it" said Nachella who immediately got a look of disbelief Sean.
"I don't dare, Princess" Sean said.
"Call me Nachella or I'll report to my father and I'll tell him you insulted me" Nachella said in response to Sean's head.
"So, call me Nachella" continued Nachella who now directly embraced Sean with doubt.
"So, what do you want to ask?" Ask Nachella who was curious about the question she was about to ask earlier.
"Ah, that's Put.I mean Nachella. Why are you here? Don't you want to practice" asked Sean.
Nachella exhaled slowly.
"Didn't you see what happened? I couldn't even lift the sword. How do I practice? Do I have to use that?" Nachella asked as she pointed to an object tucked between the small spaces of the buildings that seemed to be crammed together.
"I'm sorry. I have no intention of asking you to practice with that broom. It's just that I want to convey a little bit of my thoughts" he replied.
Nachella blinked her eyes a few times, looking at Sean who was smiling at her.
Her smile was like gulali, so sweet, Nachella thought to herself.
Subconsciously he smiled widely, making Sean giggle on the spot.
"Nachella, do you intend to think about my advice?" Sean asked, distracting Nachella.
"So what's your advice?"
