Chapter 81 – A New Transfer Student

Robert's POV

Later, at 8, after breakfast and dressing up for school, me and Riana left the house as Blaise wavered goodbye to us, before locking the front door of our house and going to her potion shop. Along the way, we meet up with William, Emma, and Peter, who were waiting for me before going to school.

"Good morning, William-kun," I greeted.

"Morning, Robert-kun," William greeted back.

"Good morning," Emma greeted.

"Morning to you, Emma-chan," I greeted back.

But, they and Peter noticed Riana beside me, and Peter asked, "Who's that goblin girl with you?"

"Oh, this is Riana," I responded back with an introduction, "she's the goblin girl whom I had met back at the Yeager Forest on our way to Vanworth."

"I see," William replied back. Then to Riana, "Nice to meet you, I'm William Verde Demonheart, the crowned prince of this kingdom."

"I'm Peter Demonheart, his cousin," Peter added nicely.

Emma was glaring at Riana, as if she was jealous of her. But I just said to her, "Please, be nice to her."

Eventually Emma stopped glaring at her. "I'm Emma Demonheart. Nice to meet you."

"Oh," Riana replied back slowly and with shyness. "Nice to meet you all."

To this I thought, "Man, I hoped they get along with her."

And so, we all walked together to school, and along the way, Riana parted ways with us because she will catch a horse wagon to the Yeager Forest.

After that, we arrived at school, and William said to us, "Well, guys, Harold-kun is ahead of us going to class because he lives nearer to school."

"I see," I replied back.

We then entered the main school building and traversed through the hallways to our classroom. Not long after, we arrived at our classroom, and I slide the door open while greeting, "Good morning."

Harold then looked at me and greeted back, "Good morning, Ro-kun."

The classroom was barely filled, with only a handful of students present, mostly the fans of William and Peter. Cedric-sensei wasn't there as well, as if we were too early.

We then went to our usual seats.

Later, at 9, during class, Cedric made an announcement to us, "Everyone, we had a new transfer student."

This causes most of the students to mutter to each other on who is this new transfer student.

"Woah, a new student?" I thought.

"Alright, alright, settle down," Cedric said to them. Then to someone outside of class, "You may enter now."

Then, a girl with white hair and black eyes came in and made a bow to us as a greeting for a few seconds, before getting up.

"Hi, everyone, my name is Zarah Hal Windheart," she, Zarah Hal Windheart, responded with an introduction. "I am a princess of the Kingdom of Saheda. It's my first time in this school."

The class went a bit wild at the 'princess' part, and I was shocked that she was a princess of Saheda, the place where my mother came from. But what I was shocked the most is that her last name is Windheart, my mom's clan name.

"What in the…?" I thought in my mind. "Windheart?!"

But I cannot say that out loud because I'm afraid that the entire class would look at me with prejudice.

"Okay, you may sit down," Cedric said to Zarah.

"Thank you," Zarah responded, before grabbing her bag and went to sit behind Harold.

Then, Harold said to me in a low voice, "Hey, Ro-kun, she's a princess, right?"

"Yes, I heard it right and clear," I responded back in a low voice.
