Chapter 8: Meant to kill someone
People are all hypocrites, people lie, people pretend to be nice, people have many faces depending who they are with. As the crown prince he already mastered all the masks of deceptions, he never got caught. People think he is kind because that's what they expect you to be, and as a prince you can't disappoint them.
He needs to be perfect in their eyes, because they will believe what they see and what they want to to see. But he never expected anyone to unmask him that easily, anyone can foresee his real expression at the moment.
He can say that she already knew that he hated this, and he hated everyone around him. That he just wanted to disappear.
He saw her laugh at him, he felt so pissed but can't help but to smirk. Someone caught his attention again…
She saw the Prince smirk, Katara doesn't know if he's provoking her or what? But she just ignored it, she heard the Principal start calling the noble ladies and one by one of them started walking to the front. She's busy eating and she doesn't listen. That's why she doesn't have any idea what's going on now.
She heard her mistress name, that's why she stood up quickly and she even bumped the table that made a sound and stole everyone's attention, she lifted her chin and smiled at them like a celebrity. She even waves her hand like a Hollywood actress from her previous life walking to the red carpet, she even gives them a flying kiss and continues walking to the front.
After that she walks to the Principal and then smiles at her, she even takes a bow. Just like what other did she cut her index finger and then let her blood drip from her fingers into the red pottery bowl of water. They waited for almost a minute but the water didn't change colour at all, she bit her lips together.
As she knows, the academy has five types of houses. It depends on what power you contain, if blue then you have water, red for fire, gold for ground, and white for air. And yellow for being normal, that you don't have any powers at all. Instead of feeling down she's happy, she's really happy! That she's normal, she heard the discrimination about between the being ordinary but she doesn't care at all.
She saw some students laughing but she smirked and walked out in front of the crowd. She walked to the fifth table and then seated there, she felt so relieved that she's normal at all. She heard if you are normal you don't have to attend classes for elements and polish your power, she doesn't need to train to let her power out. She's sick of being on the train, she just wanted to be here for selection and enjoy being a teenager because she never had any chance to do that in her previous life.
"Hi, I am Dianna. Nice to meet you." The girl who is beside her introduces herself, she smiles.
"I am Ka— I mean Ave, nice to meet you." She also introduced herself.
"Welcome to our house!" The chubby girl said, she excitedly nodded her head.
"Yes, thank you. I am happy to be here."
"Happy? What? Aren't you frustrated?" That's normal for them to ask that, who wants to be normal? Every person wants to be extraordinary, but she's not.
"No, I'm genuinely happy here. We can do everything right? We don't have many classes unlike them, right?"
"Yes, that's true. But they are also treated as useless one."
"Only the one who allowed themselves to be treated in others like a useless one will be the one who is to blame, there's no such thing useless in the world if you use it wisely." It sounds funny but she always remembers what her teacher says, take for example a stone. If you look at a single stone it sounds like they're so useless, they're just there but if you pick that stone and use it to make a house. The stone you see as useless will be a massive building someday, that gives someone a good comfortable shelter.
"I'm Celina by the way, nice to meet you." A chubby girl introduced herself too.
"Ave, likewise."
They walk to their dorm after the ceremony, because they are just ordinary. Their dorm door is ordinary too, unlike others they don't have any fire, water, ect to enchant to open the door because they don't have any spirit to guide their door. As they entered the house room everything looked so ordinary, like they were in their houses. There is a living room, a kitchen, and different rooms.
"This will be your room, sorry but we don't have any servants here. We clean the house every weekend, boys and girls are alternates. The banquet hall is always available but for our experience if you want a peaceful morning just cook for your own in the kitchen, because royals are there every morning. No principal or teacher watching because it's early morning so they can do everything they can, like harassing you of course." Dianna explains, Katara takes note of that.
Katara opens her room and then looks at it, she immediately dives to her bed and then closes her eyes. Her room is fancy and elegant, she can't help but to wonder if this is the royal doing.
"Yes, the imperial palace designed your room weeks ago in case that someone will be part of this house. But you can redesign it if you want, they said." Dianna and Celina are at the door.
"What are you doing in the door? Aren't you going in?"
"No, it's rude for us—" Celina didn't Finish her words when Katara walked towards them and pulled them.
"I am no different from you, it's just that I am part of the selection."
"But still you might be the next future queen." Dianna.
"Too early to say that." Katara said.
Katara is tired and exhausted but for some reason she can't sleep at all, she thinks everyone is already asleep but she can't. She opens her window to take a breath with some fresh air, she can't stop thinking about her family. If that Duke really dares to hurt her family he'll meet his end, she's not bluffing about killing him if he touches her family.
Katara decided to go out for more air to breathe, she avoids all the guards easily and then she walks to the bench
Katara decided to take some more air outside, she avoids the guards guarding easily and then she goes outside and takes a seat on the bench back to the academy. As she walks earlier she sees the bench at the fountain and thinks that's a good spot so she remembers it, remembering directions for her is easy and you already know why.
She closes her eyes again as she looks to the sky, a moment later she feels someone is in front of her. She didn't even hear his footsteps, he's dangerous. She opened her eyes and saw a sword in her neck.
"It's your first day and you already violated a rule." She moves her eyes to him and looks at him boredly.
"If you put your sword in my neck you should kill me." For just a second she takes his sword from his hand and then puts it on his neck while she's already at his back.
"Because there's no next time, your highness. After all, swords meant to kill someone" She deadly whispered...
