Ethan, the third son of the Constance family, and the crown prince were born in the same year. They were childhood friends, and now he was the princeâs personal knight at the Academy. According to the novel, Ethan joins the princeâs Royal knights after graduation. He, however, currently didnât have a good relationship with the prince.
âIâm assuming itâll last a bit longer this time,â said Evan.
âBut why? Ethan was the one who was late for the training session, not his highness. How could I send this to his highness? I was going to send it to him on his birthdayâŠâ replied Ella disappointingly.
Every day the prince and Ethan had a training session. A week ago, however, Ethan was late to training because he was running an errand for a professor. Whenever he was late, the prince usually waited for him without any complaints. Because of that, he assumed that the prince would do the same this time around. By the time he arrived, the prince wasnât there. As a result, Ethan declared that he wouldnât see the prince ever again. These kinds of fights usually lasted a few days at most. A week had passed, but this fight, however, was still ongoing.
âAnyways, Iâll still send it over to Ethan. I hope theyâll make up with this as an excuse.â
âWhat if Ethan doesnât give it to him?â asked Ella worryingly.
âEthan? Of course, he will. He wonât dare to anger you.â
âI see. Then, Iâll leave it to you.â Ella still had doubts, but she had to agree obediently at Evanâs suggestions. In fact, there was no other option than the one he suggested anyway.
All children belonging to noble families in the Duffspe empire were required to enter the Academy once they reached a certain age. Individuals like the prince couldnât inherit the right of succession unless they attended the Academy. As such, all children from noble families joined the Academy, and trouble was bound to happen. To solve such problems, the Academy created rules; One of the rules was on mail delivery.
<Students are only allowed to receive mail from direct family members or an authorized guardian.>
Ella tried to send a gift to the prince, but according to the rules, she couldnât. She had no choice but to rely on Ethan, who currently wasnât talking to the prince. Ella was frustrated with her brother to the point she almost swore when she had read this part from the book. This time, however, she was currently inside Luciellaâs body and felt Luciellaâs anger. She felt Ethan was acting out of hand because the prince was always too kind to him.
âWhat does Ethan want from him this time?â thought Ella as she began angrily writing letters to Ethan at the back of her room.
Without giving it much thought, she wrote a long letter. Ella knew about the letterâs original contents from reading the novel. Because of her prior knowledge, her pen magically wrote the letter by itself. After completing the letter, she read it. She couldnât believe what she saw. âSo⊠I wrote all this?â
Beautiful handwriting was on the letter. It looked like a piece of artwork that could be hung on the wall as a decoration. Ella couldnât believe it. She has never been proud of her handwriting before. âThis world sure is strange.â
Considering she was inside a novel, there were many unexplainable things in this world. Ella could naturally act like a 16-year-old noble, and she didnât have any issues speaking so casually to the much older Maylin. Ranhee never spoke casually to anyone, even if they were younger than her. There were times when her body moved by itself without her will, and it surprised her every time. Fortunately, whenever that happened, it helped her to behave more like Luciella. She would have tried to be more formal around Maylin, but that could have aroused some suspicion. Ella also didnât know any lady-like manners, which could have caused problems. Not only that, Viscount Jersone would have been furious to know his student forgot everything he taught her. It might have come to a point where rumors would spread that the lady of the Constance family had gone mad.
Having her body automatically move sometimes instead of having Ranhee in full control was better for her. The eerie feeling that Ella felt, however, frustrated her at times. Although it was her body, sometimes she felt like she was watching from the outside as she spoke and moved. Ella was glad that she had a will of her own, like when she offered the magician to join her family. It was also her own will to wrap her hands around Maylinâs arm.
If she said âhey,â the word that came out of her mouth was âhello.â When she walked, her body moved slowly and gently like a noble lady. These actions were all a part of her. She couldnât even remember how she used to walk anymore.
