"One.. Two.. One.. Two.. Yes like that" said a woman with a wooden stick in her hand. Her eyes were fixed on a group of noble girls clad in colorful dresses.
"Yes, like that left.back off. right..left forward" he continued directing the girls to follow his words.
"All right, class is over today. For the next class we will dance with the princes" said the woman who was immediately greeted by cheers of noble girls, except for the three girls in caramel-colored halter dress. The three girls seemed to pucke their lips forward.
"Chella how is it? Ah I don't want to have to dance with annoying men like them" said Aryna who is also approved by Vio.
"I don't want to either. What if we pretend to be sick?" Nachella's Advice.
"No-no, it'll be pretty caught. How could we be sick at the same time? It is impossible that the three of us are close friends" explained Vio.
"Ah, right too. Why am I not thinking? Ah, sister, we'll think about it later. I want to go to the room now. See you in the manners class later" said Nachella who immediately rushed away without waiting for the answers of the two girls in front of her who seemed confused thinking about the solution of the problems they will face.

Sreks...Srekk..
Change open sheets of paper in front of a girl sitting cross-legged in a room filled with neatly lined piles of books.
"So there are actually 9 types of magic power and I am Lanixtra. Why is this so?" I said as I read Argetlam's book that I borrowed a few days ago.
My eyes stared at the focus of the book wrapped in a dark blue cover. This book doesn't really just contain magic spells. Rather there are some histories of the Visilion Empire along with the kingdoms below it such as the father's Kingdom of Courlage, explanations of the types of magic power, and some rare stones that I have never heard of his name.
In the book is told that there are 3 powers with a high enough level, namely light, ice, and darkness. But only darkness is a bad or destructive force. In the story, if the owner of the light and ice magic will appear, the owner of the dark magic will destroy the world.
"I have to find the owner of the magic before something bad happens" I said as I closed the book.

"Chella, Vio when are you guys done? The show will start" said Aryna who can't wait for Nachella to finish decorating herself. He was ready half an hour ago when the two girls he was waiting for now had not even done anything.
"Oh, come on, brother. It's just an exercise, no need to rush" Nachella said as she gave a thin polish on her cherry lips. Vio who heard that immediately nodded in agreement.
"Here you go, let's leave not to be late or we'll be the center of attention" Aryna asked
"Yes, yes well sis let's go there" asked Nachella who immediately linked her arms on both arms of Vio and Aryna, while putting a mask on her face which was also followed by Aryna and Vio.
Taps.. Taps.. Taps..
Tonight, the sky shone brightly with the dim light of lotus lanterns hanging from every pillar of the academy. The night that was considered quite special for some students who were passing through the corridor of the academy created the sound of footsteps that were mutually unpretentious with the insects of the night.
Tonight is the day awaited by some noble students whose bodies have now been wrapped in red velvet peasan dress with ribbon accents on his chest with matching colors for women, and a black suit wrapped in a blood-red tuxedo with a bow tie is black for men.
They were enjoying the music that was playing lightly, accompanied by a burst of laughter covered with his face mask. Mask, that's the theme of the party today. A dance party organized specifically to train noble children to appear in public, while planting the seeds of love in their hearts. Until their view was shifted to a large door featuring 3 men in suits.
"Crown Prince Felix, Prince of Orlando, Mr. Sean entered the room" shouted the doorman.
The three men entered the room immediately greeted the subtle whispers of the women who had been complete with thick decorations on his face.
"Sister, look! They are like starving wolves" Orlando told the man beside him who still faithfully displayed a stiff face like a walking tree.
"I agree with you, prince. They seemed ready to eat us" said Sean shuddering in horror staring at his surroundings which were filled with girls with thick makeup on his face who were staring at him and the two men beside him with glittering gazes, it was like a laser in his eyes.
"It's not eating us, it's eating my handsome brother" said Orlando, embracing his brother's shoulder, who was 10 cents adrift of him.
Sean rolled his eyeballs, he felt that he was no less handsome than the two men beside him. The difference is they have a high position, while he is only a child owner of the academy that is quite famous throughout the empire.
Teng.. Teng.. Teng..
The twang of the gong rang indicating the start of the dance party which was immediately welcomed the cheers of some students who were increasingly heading towards the middle of the dance hall.
"Crown Prince, can I dance with you?" Asked a girl while extending her hand towards Felix who was still loyal to his feet.
The girl looked cute with a coral-colored lipstick finish on her tiny lips as well as a small butterfly-shaped ornament on the right side of her hair. Smile in his lips he came off, staring expectantly his hand will be received by the man in front of him.
"Sorry miss, it seems like my sister is not interested in girls" Orlando said as he scratched his non-itchy head.
"Alright, prince" said the girl with a stifled breath. "I'm sorry, Greetings Your Highness the Crown Prince, Greetings the Prince of Orlando" he said as he resigned from the presence of the three men.
"I'm not called?" It was Sean who immediately got a loud tease at the top of his head.
"Dreams!" Felix Sarcas.
"Finally my sister said, thank you, Goddess Anocia" said Orlando, who almost sat on the floor. He was very happy, because the sentence ah no more precisely the word was the first spoken by his brother since entering this very noisy hall.
Nah!
"One more time talking about it, brother kicked out of the palace" Felix threatened before waltzing away leaving the two men who looked at each other displaying a confused look.

In another corner of the academy, the three girls in red dress were running down the corridor while lifting up their dresses with both hands. Sweat sweat had drenched the faces of the three who still still displayed the graceful side typical of the noble title he held.
"Ka.. Brother, I'm not strong anymore. Brother go first sajah. Nantih, I followed" Nachella said with a severed breath staring at the two girls in front of her.
The two girls looked at each other before nodding to Nachella's words, who was sitting limp on the floor. His legs were shaking, unable to run anymore. Moreover, a few minutes ago the gong has sounded indicating the dance has begun and if he came there can be sure if he will be the center of attention.
After the departure of Aryna and Vio, Nachella immediately raised her dress to the calf. His eyes hurt, which he can make sure there is already peeling skin there. Naturally, because he had to run with high rights, while he was still not used to using it.
"Ugh, it hurts" her ringis while holding her reddened ankle.
The sound of footsteps that were increasingly directed towards him, until a hand reached his hand, making Nachella immediately turn to the owner of the hand.
"Why?"
"Mouth.. Crown Prince" Nachella's astonishment.
"Follow me!" Invite Felix who immediately pulled Nachella's right hand to make him inevitably stand up following the man's wide steps.
"Crown Prince, can you please slow down a bit? My leg hurts" Nachella said as she endured the growing pain in her leg.
Felix halted his steps, along with his head looking back where Nachella was standing.
"Huft, how weak he is" Felix protested, taking a deep breath.
Nachella rolled her eyes 360 degrees looking at the behavior of the future successor to the imperial throne. Inwardly, he was ready with the various expletives he had placed on the man in front of him who had begun to bend his back.
"Good!"
"Huh?" Wonder Nachella.
Just imagine who tried a woman who was not confused to hear the half-command speech that came out of the mouth of a flat-faced man and his ice-cold voice.
"Good!" Felix's orders with a slight growl restrained.
"Where to?" Nachella asked confused, the article beside her was a small step that was usually used to sit while in front of her was Felix who was crouching while showing off his wide back wrapped in a black suit.
He couldn't have told me to go up to his back, Nachella thought.
Nachella slowly walked towards the steps, but not yet a meter he walked his hand was already blocked by someone who pulled him into someone's arms.
"I'm asking you to get on my back, you idiot. Why are you even going there?" Omel Felix hugged Nachella's body.
Nachella who regained consciousness immediately distanced her body, getting rid of Felix's hand that was originally holding her hand quite tight.
"You are stupid! Wherever I may go up to your back, there I will be blasphemed" protested Nachella.
There was a sigh from the two people who were now throwing their eyes at each other in any direction.
"Have it, it's not good to talk to a kid like you. I better go back and study for the exam" said Felix who immediately breezed away.
"I told you, I'm not a kid. I'm 15 years old and I'm going to take that exam!" Nachella said as she threw her fist from afar towards Felix who had moved away with a faint smile on her face.
