CHAPTER 34

"Anne? What are you doing here at this hour?"

I asked Anne who was looking down on the floor with a book wrapped in her arms like she's hugging it.

"Delie..."

Anne finally looks in my eyes with her troubled ones.

"Get inside already or do you want our dorm supervisor to see you two?"

Daphne told us almost like she's yelling.

"Thank you, lady Daphne"

Anne smiled at Daphne as soon as she step inside. Daphne just ignored her and continue brushing her long curly violet hair.

"Oh! Is that the new published BL book?"

I suddenly blurt my thoughts as soon as I saw the new published book that I'm trying to find! It's not easy to find this now that I'm inside the academy.

"Yes, my nanny put it inside the package my parents sent me to read it"

Anne grinned.

I noticed Daphne glancing at us when I saw the book Anne brought. She looks interested, is she secretly a BL fan too?

Well BL now is quite normal in noble girls after it became really popular so me and my friends don't have to hide our love for BL anymore although the boys are still cringing at the genre.

If I remember earlier, Daphne looks annoyed. Is it because of what happened seven years ago? When Anne and Daphne had a confrontation at the social debut tea party. But according to the novel, Anne was an empress candidate before. The emperor also wanted her to be the next empress since the Vi Claross family and the imperial family has a good relation with each other, even the emperor and Marquis Vi Claross are friends when they were young.

The Il Viva family proposed to the crown prince so the emperor just agreed to their proposal, the Il Viva is the richest family in Bogdan empire after all also the Vi Claross doesn't want their daughter to carry the burden of an empress.

Maybe that's why Daphne isn't fond of Anne Vi Claross because she was also an empress candidate and is a threat for stealing the crown prince.

"The author of that might be a genius"

Out of nowhere, Daphne spoke when she realized that I saw her stealing glances at the book Anne is holding.

"Yes"

Me and Anne nodded in agreement, I can see Daphne's lips curling up on the side.

What's with her?

"Then, we'll be going in my room"

I told Lady Daphne who just gestured us to get away from her sight.

That's weird, Daphne looks really curious about the new BL book.

I wonder why?

"So this is your room Delie! It is really organized and really purple!"

Anne told me as soon as her foot stepped inside my room.

"I do like my room being neat, also you know how I love purple"

"Hmmm...you're really good at cleaning your room even though you are a noble"

Eek! I forgot! Nobles have maids doing things for them but since I'm a girl who likes organizing things in my past life, I tend to do clean my things to remove my negative thoughts.

The reason why I haven't been cleaning my room back in the manor is because when I wake up in the morning, Sara had already done it and the maids here have prides in doing their job so when they let me do household chores means they are looking down not only on me but also my family.

Entering this academy made me become a free person.

"Is that so? Maybe I just have a talent for this!"

I lied.

"Maybe you do! Anyway, I have three things that I need to tell you..."

Anne looks back to me with a serious look.

"Sure! Wait a moment, I'll bring out some snacks first and some tea"

Ohoho! This feels like a slumber party! I wish my other friends are here too but it looks like Anne is unprepared too maybe she just thought of meeting me without thinking enough.

"Wait, didn't snacks and teas inside the dorm is prohibited?"

"Don't worry, you think the others are following those regulations?"

Because I saw Daphne munching some sweets the other time.

"So what is the three things you are going to tell me?"

I asked Anne who is now sitting at a stool with her hands on a table in my room while I'm brewing some tea.

"You remember that I seem to be less energetic than before right? You know...being gloomy and that"

"Uh-huh, is it related to the things you want to tell me?"

I put the tea cups on the table. One for me and one for Anne.

"Yes..."

"Alright, tell me then"

I sat on the stool infront of her making our face infront of each other with a small plate of cookies and tea with us. I bite a cookie after I took one from the plate.

"I'm...I'm...already engaged"

"What?!"

I almost spit out the cookie I was munching.

"Are you that surprised?"

"Of course I am, I didn't even know that someone proposed to you!"

Like, since when?!

"When did you get engaged?"

"It was the day after we went inside the academy...we didn't need an Engagement party since I'll be going in the Aidel Empire to meet him"

Whoa! Anne is already engaged?! I thought it was said in the book that it was on her third year in the academy! But she's only a first year!

Aidel Empire...if I remember correctly, Anne in the novel is engaged to the seventh prince, Khalil Ra Satish.

Khalil Ra Satish is known to be as a very outgoing prince. Despite being the Aidel Empire's seventh prince, he was really loved by the people. Not only that, he has a smooth dark skin, long dark brown hair tied in a ponytail and beautiful gold eyes which is a trait of the imperial family in Aidel.

In short, he is really handsome!

I don't know the reason why but it was stated in the novel that Anne Vi Claross loves him but he didn't recipocrate those feelings as soon as he met the heroine first in the Academy Fair on the third year before meeting Anne who recently got engaged to him.

He fell inlove with the heroine at first sight because of course, she's the heroine so everybody loves her. Anne instead has gained feelings for him without any specific reason in the book.

"Delie?"

Anne had noticed that I'm in deep thought.

"Sorry! I was thinking of something, anyway! Shouldn't you atleast meet him earlier so that you can get to know him already?"

Before he met the heroine! Since Anne originally fell for him, I need to help her! I want my friend to be happy.

Besides, Cordelia already has the male lead, villain, Kayle and my brother pursuing her so she doesn't need a fifth one or a sixth one like the Donato prince later in the book.

"Huh? Why? It's not like I really want to meet him anyway! I'm not inlove with him"

Yes, but soon you will!

I just don't want you to get hurt, you're a potential love rival!

"But it's better to meet him earlier, right? You might not know, he might be the one for you"

I teased her. She gave me a cringing look.

"What's with you? But...since you suggested it maybe I'll think about meeting him this Academy Fair"

She thinks for a moment.

Yes, meet him before he meets the heroine!!

"Did you even agree in this engagement?"

I asked her.

"You know, I don't care who'll be my future husband...as long as I can help my family then I'm alright with it but it was just a bit rushed since a certain someone didn't accept my brother's proposal"

She said looking at me.

Ack! She's attacking me!

Is that the reason why Anne is already engaged to the seventh prince? Anne was supposed to be engaged to him in the third year! So it's like my fault?

"I'm not blaming you or anything...I'm alright, really it is just that...I have to immigrate in the Aidel after I married the seventh prince"

Anne sighed shaking her head.

"Ahhh..."

She can't spend time with us anymore without having a permission for us to meet up with her since she'll be a wife of an Aidel prince.

"Although I'm willing to marry him if he looks like Zyton!!"

"Zyton?? Who's that?"

I curiously asked the fangirling Anne.

"The male protagonist in the 'The Prince and the Pauper'! Kyaaa~!"

She squealed.

I guess she already read some chapters huh...

"What's the other things you need to tell me?"

I asked her while putting sugar in my tea.

"It's about this new book, I want to sleep here and read it with you"

She happily said.

She changed mood so fast. She's feeling down earlier but since we shifted the topic to the BL book, she immediately went from sad to happy.

"And the other one?"

I sip my tea after asking her.

"About that, it's nothing...I just had a dream that my name is Beatrice Anne and there's another world beside this!"

This time, I spit out the tea I was drinking.

"Are you alright, Delie?"

Anne went to me as soon as I started coughing.

"I'm alright Ann-"

But Anne suddenly went behind me and put her arms infront of my chest. Her fist are right infront of my abdomen.

"Don't worry Delie! I know this!"

She suddenly thrust her hands in my abdomen giving me abdominal thrusts.

Gahh!!

I coughed even more.

"That hurts!"

...

"I'm sorry, Delie..."

Anne apologized to me as soon as I told her that she shouldn't do abdominal thrusts to someone who is only coughing.

"It's okay, do it to people who are choking instead"

I informed her.

"Wow Delie, I didn't know you have a knowledge about basic life support! Which made me remember my dream again last time that me and our other friends are like nursing students in the other world! Hahaha!"

She laughs.

That's not a dream! That's real!

Don't tell me...Anne is really Beatrice Anne! Not the one that was inspired by her but my real friend in my previous life! Did she also recall those things? I was like that too in the early years I transmigrated here! I can't remember my past self but I'm aware that I'm inside the novel which turns out the novel Beatrice Anne wrote.

"And this is the real world anyway!"

Anne laughs again.

No...this is the fictional world, our real world is the one in my last life.

"Enough of the talk, let's read this!!"

Anne grinned showing the book right infront of my face.

"Sure!"

I smiled but I'm still bothered by Anne's dream and by how she's already engaged to the seventh prince of Aidel. Why is the plot changing?

...Am I making a mistake in my choices? And what's with Anne having a dream that is the same in my previous life as Princess Delie.

Me and Anne read the book the whole night, like how I read her novel in the previous life. We end up fangirling over the characters! Damn, I really want to meet the author so bad!!

To be honest, while me and Anne are reading the appearance of the prince reminds me how the seventh prince looks.

The next day, as expected Daphne didn't

wake us up so we ended up waking up late. Miss Audrey aka our dorm supervisor scold both of us for not informing her about Anne's overnight stay in my room.

After the scolding, we headed downstairs for breakfast. Anne had finally told our friends about the things she is worrying about but what surprises me the most is that all of them had the same weird dream about them living in another world and having similar names.

This is getting freaky! Are they also transmigrated? Or...

I don't know! This is so confusing!

I headed to my designated class where as usual, the teachers are having their discussions. I can't seem to focus on my classes after what happened, why did they have a dream like that? If they did have a dream like that, why am I the only one who remembers my past life?!

"Attention! Good afternoon class!"

Miss Audrey Gu Hartfelt is already infront of the class with a smile.

"Good afternoon, Miss Audrey"

All of us greeted her back.

"Your exams are already coming and the week after that is the Academy Fair! Since all Clubs are required to join the event, the EXTRA club should join too!"

The Academy Fair! That's the part of the book that sounds fun, it was described that there a lot of booths there! I'm so excited, I can eat a lot of foods there!

"Miss Audrey, may I ask how the EXTRA club will participate?"

The glasses boy asked Miss Audrey.

"I'm glad you ask, since this is our first time joining the event because you all are the first batch then we will have to help out with other clubs!"

What?! The EXTRA clubs are helpers?

What kind of activity is that?!

"But you'll also need to wear costumes as helpers!"

So basically we are cosplaying and helping other clubs?

"There are are about one...two...fourteen of you here then I'll assign two people in each club"

So since there are originally seven main clubs aside from the EXTRA club which is the eight club and there are fourteen of us here in this large classroom then she really needs to divide us in seven.

"We'll be using lottery to be fair to sort all of you to different clubs"

She pass a small box with a hole to the glasses boy and pass it to one student after another. After they saw theirs, they all sighed in relief. I know, they are avoiding the Special club since the students there have the most powerful gifts.

"Phew!"

The person before me breathe a sigh of relief after looking at his small piece of paper. I put my hand inside the box and took the paper that I first touched.

I quickly open it up and almost made my jaw drop.

It reads...Special Club

No!! Another one!

I hurriedly put back the paper in without anyone noticing, it only seems that I'm taking too much time taking a paper.

"Lady La Eclaus, can you please hurry up?"

Miss Audrey noticed that I'm taking a while so she told me to hurry up.

"Here goes nothing!"

I'm sure this is not the Special club! Please!

Then I opened the paper and it reads...

Special club...

...Ahhhh!!

"Let me take the last one"

The male lead's right-hand man, Derrick told me before taking the last piece of paper.

"...Special club"

He muttered.

Huh? Special club? Oh yeah! The two of us are the last two students here meaning that I'll end up in Special club either way!!

Why am I so unlucky?

The male lead and the villain are in those club!!

"Since all of you are finished picking up a club to assist then it is time for the costume picking!"

Agh...that too...

In the end, I was put on the Special club and the costume that I will wear is a Knight's costume! That is quite cool but they said they needed a wig to put in my hair to make me a bit masculine.

It was originally assigned on a male student but Miss Audrey said that it is more fun like this. Derrick's costume is a dog which matched his alias as the Crown Prince's dog or what the heroine described him in the novel.

What do I look like as I knight? You know...me holding a sword with a knight uniform and cape...my hair shorter hmm....

I want to look badass!

But I need to pass the exams first! Alright, I need to study! To the Academy's library!

I haven't chosen a sub-club yet, our EXTRA club needs to shine for us to have points. Yes, this is like Hogwarts! We need points to be given a medal. Why do I have to be in the EXTRA club?! Is my gift really that useless?

My classmates in the EXTRA clubs also have unique abilities like changing their eye color, rotating their head in 360° and turning something into a banana.

See?! We are all unique...but...not very helpful.

As soon as I went inside the huge library. I can feel the cold atmosphere, it feels like I'm inside a mall with lots of air conditioner!

But I'm here to study! So my priority is to learn!

I gathered all the books I need and put it on a table far from a group of people since I want to concentrate.

Go Delie!!

I quickly open the first book that I brought and read the first page...and the second page...third page...

After 1 hour...

"Ah! I'm bored, I can't take it anymore! I need to sleep!"

I close the book that I'm reading and sleep on the top of the book with my hands supporting my head.

So cold...

Zzzzz...

~3rd Person POV~

A male student went inside the library to study for the exams. He doesn't know what to do anyway and it's not like a lot of people wants to be by his side.

He picked a few books he needed to read before choosing a table where there are little to no people. He saw a student sleeping on one of the tables, he sighed knowing that this is a library yet she dares to sleep in here.

He ignored her and just sat infront of her table. His back facing her back. She's sleeping so she won't make any noise.

As he was reading, he suddenly heard a snore coming from the girl but he ignores her, after a few minutes hearing the girl's snore getting louder.

He finally stood up annoyed and decided to find another table. He was already collecting the books but he noticed that the girl was shaking, it is really cold and it feels like she's been here already for a while.

He scratch his head and took off his black blazer uniform leaving him his long sleeved button shirt. He is rich so he can buy a thousand of this blazer anyway. No one will dare scold him so he put it on the top of her like a blanket and leave without saying anything.

He'll just borrow the books before the girl sees him. He didn't know that there was also someone watching him upstairs forming a smirk after he put the blazer on the girl's back.
