“It is Lady Candice!”
Manya exclaimed in excitement as saw Candice and 4 other students who were following her walking towards the three students.
“It is Lady Candice!”
“Wow, I am so lucky today!”
“Hahaha~ What a lovely day!”
“She is as beautiful as the rumours say~”
“Hmph! Do you fucking stone in place of eyes!? How can you not see that she is more beautiful than the rumours say!? You retard!”
“Ahh, my bad, she is indeed more beautiful than the rumours say.”
“You two! Shut the fuck up! Do you think Lady Candice would care about your cheesy compliments? Rather, you two will only annoy her more.”
As soon as Candice and her men walked into the scene, the surrounding students, who were pretty much ignoring everything that was happening started talking as their eyes shined in delight.
Candice Waters, a beautiful girl with blue hair, blue eyes, a small nose and light pink lips. She wore a normal black coloured academy uniform with golden designs just like all the other students, however, the way she walked, with how her long beautiful hair flew around and the elegance that oozed out of her,
She looked like she was at another level. (Academy Uniform in the Paragraph comments.)
She is liked by everyone in the school and is treated like a goddess by not only males but even the female students.
Of course, her being beautiful is not the only reason why she was revered by all, the main reason for that was her talent.
By no means is she the Strongest Student in the Royal Academy, however, she is without a doubt, the brightest.
She is the first student in the last 200 years who had become a Master Stage Cultivator while she is just 22 years old.
A prodigy who is also known as the future pillar of the Kingdom.
She could also be called the Queen of the Royal Academy.
“What is happening here?” Candice questioned in her noble but strict voice.
“N-Nothing, Lady Candice.” The boy named Oswald answered as he bowed his head.
“Introduce yourselves,” Candice muttered.
“M-My name is Oswald Bourkee, the Second Son of Earl Bourkee,” Oswald introduced.
Candice frowned, she then glanced at one of the men following her and that man nodded.
“I am Harold Wescott, son of Earl Wescott.”
“I am Bardley Greem, Son of Earl Greem,”
The two other students introduced themselves as well.
Candice then glanced at Royce who was lying on the floor, Royce understood what he had to do.
He forced his body, which was aching all over to stand up and then, he introduced himself.
“M-My name is R-Royce Alveye, Son of Viscount Alveye.”
“A Viscount?” Candice raised her eyebrow.
“Y-Yes.” Royce nodded.
“So, Royce, what happened here?” Candice questioned.
“Lady Cand-”
“I do not recall asking anything from you, Mr. Bourkee.” Oswald wanted to speak, however, Candice cut him off midsentence and then turned towards Royce again.
“Answer my question, what happened here?”
A ray of light shined in Royce’s eyes as he answered,
“L-Lady Candice, I-I worked hard for a whole month to earn some A-Academy points to buy a Healing potion, however, the three of them attacked me and took it away.
This is not the first time either, these three have been bullying me for a whole year now, and they take all the money my mother sends to me and keeps beating me from time to time.” Royce complained and Oswald’s eyes shined in rage.
“He is Lyi-”
“Shut up.” Oswald wanted to retort, however, Candice shut him again.
“So you are telling me that they took your Healing potion?” Candice turned towards Royce and questioned.
“Yes.” Royce nodded as he glanced at Oswald before avoiding eye contact as soon as possible.
“Where is the proof?”
Suddenly, Candice questioned.
“Huh?” Royce frowned as he glanced at Candice.
“I asked, where is the proof? How are you going to prove that they took your Healing Potion?”
Candice questioned.
“T-They took it! Everyone saw it! They were beating me because I didn’t give it to them, but they still took it forcefully! You can ask everyone who was present here.”
Royce then turned around and glanced at other students to seek help.
“…”
However, no one stepped forward.
Royce’s face changed.
“I-I am not lying!”
He shouted.
“Shouting something won’t make it true, Mr Alveye. I need proof.” Candice muttered calmly.
Seeing this, Nux and Manya frowned.
“Isn’t she supposed to help him?” Nux questioned.
Manya, however, shook her head in confusion.
“I do not know what is happening either…”
“Y-You can check his Storage ring! He kept my Healing potion there!”
“What proves it that it is your Healing Potion? What if it was his, to begin with?”
“Y-You can ask the Shop owner! I bought it from him a few hours ago!”
“What if you already used yours and you are just trying to take advantage of these 3?”
“…”
Royce turned silent and gritted his teeth.
Oswald, however, was smiling at him and swore in his heart that he would take revenge for outing him like that.
“Do you understand what I am trying to say to you, Mr Alveye?” Suddenly, Candice questioned.
“Huh?” Royce frowned.
“In this world, the weak have no right to say or complain about anything. Do you know why these students aren’t helping you?
It is because you are weak.
You thought that you could use me to get back at people who attacked you,
That is how the weak think, step up yourself, protect yourself, this is how you live in this world.
Do not rely on anyone else because if you do,
You will be squashed by the others.
These three students are not wrong, they are only showing you how the world works, learn from it.
Get stronger and fight back.
I will ignore what happened here today because you have no proof to prove your innocence, however, I do hope to see a stronger you.”
Candice muttered and Royce turned silent.
“Aahh, so that’s the reason why Lady Candice didn’t help that boy, she wanted to let him know how the world works.
As expected of Lady Candice, she is indeed worthy to be the future pillar of the Kingdom.”
Manya nodded to herself and Nux frowned even more.
“Alright, everyone, disperse now. I don’t want to create any scenes here.” Candice muttered and with her order, everyone started walking away.
