Chapter 7 Lunch

(Leland's Pov)

A few days after we arrived from the king's castle. As of today, we started doing lessons, by our teachers, not the instructor who train us to fight but learning everything about the Aeneles Empire, which we will learn today about the maps, languages, history, and many more we speak of, me and my siblings not just us, but the nobles attends the class while we are commoners at first.

With those arrogant attitudes to the commoners, thinking they are untalented, guess what you can is that is too very arrogant to their point of view and thinking that we commoners are useless, stupid and other negative thoughts about us.

Me and my siblings got used to that, at least we have each other.

As we have a lunch break, we have lunch at the cafeteria we find our spot there and we sort chats with each other and suddenly, this kid came.

"Hey, asshole!" As this dimwitted rude boy is talking to me and not even realizing that my siblings are right next to men, "Yes, yes, what do you want? Also, who are you?" I didn't even know him at first, but to me, he's kinda basically harmless and he just insulted me because I took his a goddamn one food he loves and it's the last one, as I sighed, and then I did this. "Look, I already have the food meanwhile you focused on something you shouldn't do, and you got distracted by some magician, but please, try to forget this nonsense and move on alright. I don't want any trouble." "No way, you just took it, it was like the delicious food I have and now it's gone." As I thought, he's harmless unlike the nobles there who just glare at us, and my siblings are kinda confused whether they have to defend me or not, though I can tell he means no harm.

I sighed and said to him "Hey, it's alright here you go." As I gave him the food he loves. "M-my pudding!" As I back from like an animal and shocked that loves it that much. Just what is this kid?

"Y-your happy?" After that he just kept it and he'll eat it in his house then he jumped straight to me and said. "Of course I am, you're my friend!" "Friend?" As I am confused right now.

"Why though? Of course, I said that loud and clear. I A.M. Y.O.U.R. F.R.I.E.N.D. Got it?" He show me his stupid and funny smile, I can't help but laugh.

"Umm... senior?" "Hmm? Oh!" He heard the voice of my younger sister and he said this. "Are you an "Angel" right?" "Eh?" For the love of god stop with the "Angel" already it's getting old!

"Umm... excuse me your scaring my sister?" "Ah, sorry I forgot to introduce myself did I?" Give a silly funny face to me and my siblings, I can feel they're pissed off for this idiot. Except for my younger sister since she's innocently confused as I can see the cuteness and concern for this guy in her eyes.

"I am the son of the Marquis, Sallis Carbo. And my dream is to become the great noble in history!" This child's dream has no ambition for what he does in the future, it seems like he wanted to become a noble to protect to commoners since does all the work and this boy wanted to repay everything for what they give him.

He seems like an honest kid. As I smiled with a good thought of this kid to have a good future awaits for him, as I told him my name. "I am Leland." After 20 minutes later my siblings and I got along with him and he's a pretty good friend and I'm happy he's not like them, we have open ourselves and he wanted to have friends and the pudding he loves so much.

Many hours passed.

As the academy ended and go to the gates and talk about things for a while then have fun with each other, we siblings have each other, but we have the first friend in the nobility.

We soon decided to buy some clothes, food and the things we needed at the market. As I saw my friend Sallis I also saw this. "What are you doing here you in this place damn half-blood!" As I saw him get beaten up in the academy grounds where the backside of the academy is, the corner of walls to hide what they're doing. "You think that being an idiot makes you a noble, we nobles are the ones who make your lives easier, I don't care if your the Marquis' son, in the end, you still have the commoners' blood through your veins!" "I-it.... hu-hurts....." "Oh, you are going to cry now, Ha! Pathetic!"

What is this? This kid is pure and he's getting mistreated like that, did his father not care for the condition of this boy, it makes me mad. Makes me mad that there's someone like to make him like this in this state.

As I rushed and do an ambush a then I do a punch on his face to the leader of those dicks. "Who the hell are you!" "Don't you know who we are!?!" Status, status, status, status always that said this. Do you not know who I am and something like that. As I thought that inside my head and saying out loud.

Thinking they are better than and I don't care anymore. "I don't care who you are, or what you are but, if you keep doing this to my friend. Your dead." I gave them a death glare and threatening warning if they mess with him. As I thought. "Don't screw with us!" I dodge his momentum and slightly slide kick him and then another strike came, this time I broke his arms. "Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!" As he screamed very loud in pain and then backed away from and the group also, then I said to them.

"Pathetic," I said with one word and then give them a real warning. "Don't ever appear in from of face again otherwise you will taste death itself. Got it." I give them a cold aura and an angry face. "Yes!" As they ran away like a bunch of beaten prey, to begin with.

"You alright?" "I-I'm fine." As he stands right up to what he is now. "Umm... I know you hate nobles, and I know I'm an idiot, an idiot that has no right to live, I just really wanted to have friends but, they all ignored me because I'm half-blood of a noble and commoner. I don't care where I came from. My father never gave a little kindness in his heart and left me there being abused by the nobles and commoners alike, this whole thing is stupid! I never wanted any of those things in my life, I just want somebody to reach to me and say. "I'll be your friend." then why is it that no one ever cares about me!" As he reveals what is now and then he burst into tears and said. "I... j-just want... anyone... to... be my friend..." I pity him.

As for the world is right to know there's a way how this boy handles so much pain, I wish to be there for him since childhood, but now it's too late. "Alright now." As I said with a warm smile and gentle voice.

"You are not alone, you have us, me and my siblings. No matter who it is that bothers you, we'll protect those who have to bear the pain alone, and you are not alone. We are your friends, and friends do what friends always do." He then cried again and again.

"Thank... you... and I'm so afraid... I anyone to be with me... I can't handle it anymore." "There, there let it all go." I comfort him for a while and we leave the school gates and he said. "Well, I better get going, and thank you for being there for me." "Of course anything for my friend." As we leave the school gates and went our separate ways and my siblings came and worried about me cause I go to school to find if I'm missing. "Where have you been?" said my Atlin and the siblings said a different worrying topic and I said to them. "I guess what I can say is this, what a nice day."
