Chapter 46: Another cursed princess

"Ahh, what a bliss... It's less fluffy than the Guild Master's, but it's still my favourite" [Diana].

"Of course, if you compare my tail to Guild Master Akela's, I will lose!" [Kat]

Looks like Kat has resigned herself to her fate today, as she couldn't escape my fluffy session with her tail. It's satisfying to play with her tail.

"Thank you Kat" [Diana].

I hug her tightly as a way of thanking her for that as well.

"Here. You can have this handkerchief. It has my name on it, but I hope you like my first handmade handkerchief!" [Diana]

"That's sweet of you, but it's okay." [Kat]

While I am having a great time here, the others are not so much. Kara and Mara look fine, but the others, from Marianne to Neloufa, are all stiff, probably because of the

"Are you afraid of Mr. Gloomy here?" [Diana]

"Huh!" [Aeron]

"Hahaha! Yes, that's exactly what others call him behind his back" [Randy]

"Sorry about my son, he was always like that" [Jean's mother].

"Oh! The banana cake you bake yourself has finally arrived! Can I have a taste now?" [Diana]

"How can I say no to a sweet girl like you. Go on, others can eat it too" [Jean's mother].

"Yes!" [Diana]

"Hmph, wild mannerless girl" [Aeron]

"Ohh... You must be even darker than I thought, Mr. Scary Gloomy Face" [Diana]

"Di... Diana" [Marianne]

"See, even the ever-cheerful Marianne gets stiff when she looks at you!" [Diana]

While taking a piece of freshly baked hot banana cake, I have a glaring battle with Liya's brother. Seriously, how am I supposed to believe that Jean and Liya are related to him?

"Sweet! Can I have some more?" [Diana]

"Of course, my goodness, it really feels like having a grandchild here. Aeron, Jean and Liya are all very well behaved, so having a naughty one like you is a fresh feeling" [Jean's mother].

"She's naughty, that's for sure" [Nar].

"I am not!" [Diana]

"What about the time you went outside all alone? Or the time you went to the creepy forest and brought back the giant rhinoceros beetle and wanted to keep it as a pet?" [Laughs]

"That beetle is so cool! Fie is practically begging me to bring it home" [Diana].

"You're pretty fearless" [Jean's father]

"More like reckless" [Aeron]

"I'm nothing but a mature girl, so I wouldn't fall for that obvious joke, Mr. Gloomy" [Diana].

"Hahaha. You really know how to lighten the mood" [Linda].

With me taking almost half of the banana cake, since the others are just quiet, we tell what happened at school today. I told Nar and Sas how I used magic on those six students.

"Good job" [Sas].

"Don't worry, we'll back you up if anything happens" [Nar].

"There are other ways to handle this, but I'd say what you did was really good" [Aeron].

"Couldn't have done it better myself. You're not hurt, are you Neloufa?" [Randy]

"No" [Neloufa]

"It's okay, Mr. Randy here is nice" [Tio]

"Finally speaking Little Tio. Must be hard for you to sit with the Duke, Duchess and their families" [Randy]

"It's all right, we're all nice people here" [Jean].

"Well, it's still hard" [Mara]

"Diana is special. It's hard for us to really settle down" [Kara]

"Agreed" [Adnan]

The others finally speak. That's nice. I feel like I'm speaking for them all the time when they stiffen up. Speaking of stiffening

"What's going on, Kat, you seem to be looking at Neloufa quite intensely" [Diana].

"As a fellow commoner who was actually accepted into the Noble School, I can actually relate to what Neloufa is going through" [Kat].

"Really!" [Neloufa]

"True. She, along with our guild receptionist Alice, are the few commoners who've attended the school. However, the number has been increasing since Queen Amleth took the throne" [Linda].

I see. I guess Alice must be the smart looking receptionist back then. No wonder she looks so smart and reliable

"A commoner going to a noble school, that's new to me" [Tiara].

"They are still a minority, Miss..." [Liya]

Now that I think about it, she didn't really introduce herself, that long-haired beauty next to Aeron. I wonder who she is. Still, there's something about her... This feeling...

"Miss pretty... Are you a princess?" [Diana]

"!" [Tiara]

"How did you know?" [Aeron]

"First Kara and Mara, and now you, are all princesses bound to be cursed?" [Diana]

"!" [All]
