Chapter 265: A Confession to the Princess on the First Day of School
Chapter 265: A Confession to the Princess on the First Day of School
"I never imagined you had such a past, Sheid. Even your beautiful sister fell victim to that guy?"
Hearing Sheid's pained expression, Jaga and Rulo simultaneously patted his shoulder in comfort.
And because of Sheid's tragic experience, they also expressed great sympathy, immediately accepting Sheid as a kindred spirit.
As for Yecheng, who was standing far away, his heightened senses allowed him to hear every word Sheid, Jaga, and Rulo exchanged, causing him to silently roll his eyes.
Did he make a move on Kreaya? Clearly, she's the one who's been pursuing him!
"Damn it, why did I even get assigned to the same class as this guy!"
"What terrible luck, being in the same class as him. From now on, the girls in our class, and even us, will be affected. Isn't that right, Sheid?"
Being freshmen, Yecheng and Sheid were coincidentally placed in the same classroom, along with Sheid's two newfound kindred spirits.
In response to Rulo's question, Sheid could only nod in agreement, but inside, he remained unmoved.
Being in the same class as Yecheng didn't bother Sheid; instead, he found it quite convenient.
With a dazzling individual like Yecheng around, others would pay even less attention to an 'ordinary' person like him.
If Yecheng was the light that illuminated the world, his outstanding qualities shining for all to see, then Sheid was the shadow hidden in the darkness.
Where there's light, there's shadow, and he, Sheid, was the strongest within the shadows!
As he indulged in his otaku fantasies, Sheid couldn't help but feel excited. Previously, he had been showing off in the countryside, killing thieves and the like—what was the point of that? Clearly, the royal capital was his true stage.
"Damn it, if that's the case, then we need to change our strategy.
With Yecheng around, we won't be able to get close to other girls, or at least not the average ones.
But there are some special girls here, too..."
Before Jaga could finish, Rulo, his best friend, immediately understood what he meant and glanced at the white-haired figure in the classroom.
"Jaga, you mean that famous Ice Maiden? But no matter how you look at it, it's just too..."
"It's precisely because it's challenging that it's worth pursuing. Aside from her, do we have any other options right now?
And if we succeed, wouldn't it indirectly prove that we're even better than Yecheng?"
Listening to Jaga and Rulo's discussion, Sheid was completely lost. They were all new students, yet these two seemed to know things he didn't.
Indeed, it was the right decision to befriend these supporting characters. Although they were unremarkable, they always seemed to have the latest scoop.
"The Ice Maiden of the academy? What does that mean?"
Seeing Sheid's ignorance, Jaga and Rulo fully embraced their supporting roles and began to explain.
"The so-called Ice Maiden refers to Aleksha Midgar."
"Midgar..."
"That's right. With a surname matching the academy's name, you should have a good idea now, right?
Aleksha Midgar is of royal descent and the second princess of the Midgar Kingdom. She's currently enrolled here and in the same grade as us."
Not only did Aleksha have royal blood, but she was also incredibly beautiful. However, due to her cold demeanor and high status, she was known as the Ice Maiden of Midgar Academy.
After listening to Jake and Ruo Luo's story, Sida nodded thoughtfully.
So that's how it is. Considering her character and status, even if she isn't the main heroine, she should be an important supporting character, right?
"Sida, I knew I could count on you. I knew you'd believe me, so I'm entrusting this challenging task to you."
"If Princess Aleksha really accepts your pursuit, don't forget about us, your best friends. After all, we just provided you with a lot of information."
Sida: ( ), When did I ever agree to do this?
Jake and Ruo Luo: "But you were just nodding in agreement a moment ago!"
"I was just... Never mind, I'll do it."
Sida was about to refuse this task, which seemed to have no chance of success, but he quickly realized that as a supporting character, confessing to the most outstanding person in the academy and then being rejected would make for a more relatable character.
So, after a moment of hesitation, Sida agreed to the task his "dear friends" had forced upon him and silently approached Aleksha.
"My name is Sida Kageno, and I've admired you for a long time. Please be my girlfriend!"
His slightly excited and trembling voice, a seventy-degree bow, and a hand extended in nervousness—the perfect confession. Although he had never confessed before, this standard confession routine for a random character perfectly showcased the essence of a supporting role. All that was left was for the Ice Maiden to reject him with sharp words, and his character in the academy would be set...
"Sure, I accept your pursuit. Let's get to know each other better, Sida."
Sida, who had prepared himself for rejection and the ridicule of those around him, was stunned when he heard Aleksha's words.
Not only Sida but also his friends, Jake and Ruo Luo, who were waiting behind him to watch the drama, were instantly shocked upon hearing Aleksha's response.
What happened to the Ice Maiden they were told about? Why was her response completely different from what they had heard?
If they had known it would be this easy, they would have done it themselves. Why did they let Sida take the fall?
Hiding nearby, Jake and Ruo Luo looked at Sida with intense envy. They felt they were no worse than him.
In terms of status, they were all nobles, and Sida wasn't even the heir to his family. In terms of academic performance and swordsmanship, Sida's entrance exam results were even worse than theirs.
As for appearance and looks, Jake and Ruo Luo were even more confident. They believed that with their handsome faces, they were far superior to Sida's dispirited and unmotivated demeanor.
"No, I'm the second son of a baron, and I don't even have any inheritance rights. I'm average in academics, looks, and talent.
I'm basically unremarkable, even more so than an ordinary person. Are you really choosing to accept my pursuit?"
Aleksha's agreement was far beyond Sida's expectations. This was not the outcome he had wanted!
