EVERYTHING IS GOING alright in arlanta as it's been five years since the crown princess is in arlanta as she's now 15years old while Akari is now 16years old. she slowly opened her eyes and glanced at the clock to see it's already 6 am. her class starts at 8 am so she still has a lot of time.

she slowly gets out of her bed peeking at her friend who is still napping then heading to the bathroom. 'It's still kinda weird being in here when I got used to nanny waking me up.' Nas thought as she brushed her teeth. she washed her face and did her usual morning routine with her maids helping her that her father ordered for them to take care of the firstborn daughter.

It was finally time to wake the sleepy head as the maids who helped her leave the room one by one. she shook the blue-haired gently yet Akari tried swatting her hand away. Anastasia sighed and then shook her roughly, causing the girl to fall off her bed.

"holy moly!" she shouted but not too loud, falling off the bed and landing on her butt. "oi, I didn't wake you up like this!" The blue girl blurted out, sulking at what her friend did. Antanasia snickered at her remark before helping her up. "my bad" a warm smile tugged on her face so Akari couldn't stay mad at the angel. "you are forgiven but you owe me a favour"

"whatever," Nas said while rolling her eyes.

as their day started at the Academy. Akari and Nas separated directions. students are required to wear an armband to show others what status and rank they're in. and of course, students are separated by floors depending on their ranks. there were approximately 5 floors in total.

The First Floor belongs to the students who were from slums or poverty. Very few people were selected by the Headmaster and we're required to take a very hard test to decide whether they can attend or not. Only 2 out of 5 people would pass. And since the Academy of Arlanta was a prestigious school, the 1st Floor was considered as the lowest of lows and was highly looked down on. Students from the 1st Floor often get bullied a lot, and 23℅ of those students either left or committed suicide(pls don't do this) because of their unfair treatment or threats from the higher ranks. And also their armband colour is Brown.

The Second Floor belongs to students who were daughters or sons of commoners/merchants. They are also required to take hard tests to enter and are also considered peasants to the upper classes. And for that reason, the 2nd floor would mostly take their anger out on the 1st floor. They're the one who does the most bullying and threats. But when they're around the higher-ranked students, they're like dogs with their legs tucked between their legs. Lastly, their armband colour is Green.

The Third Floor belongs to students who are from respected families full of knights. A lot of these students came here to become a scholar as well as a knight. Mostly as a knight due to the world's strongest was a teacher here in the academy who goes by the name of Duke Daniel Setsuko and Duchess Alanya Setsuko. That's why many families of knights across the world send their kids here, and of course, their kids humbly accepted. Their armband colour is Silver.

The Fourth Floor belongs to students who are nobility. These students don't have to take tests since they take the easy ways in which it is money or background. Their armband colour is White.

Finally, The Fifth Floor belongs to students who are Royals like Antanasia. These students are given extra care and treatment and given more delicious meals than the lower classes. And their armband colour is Gold.

Antanasia met a lot of people here though it's hard to make companions with them because they might just use her fame. after all, her father is the famous Claude. as usual, she thinks the class is boring. all she wants is to explore arlanta. she hasn't explored arlanta yet even though she's been now for five years because the school is strict and they don't want anything to happen to her because there will be a war if something happened to to their lovely crown princess.

an hour has passed. the class is now over. Nas packed her stuff and went to Akari who's waiting for her at the door. they walked to the cafeteria and Antanasia felt odd having a lot of eyes on her. she still felt uncomfortable even though it's been five years that a lot of people looked at her like that.

"you're still quite famous Nas." Akari chuckles as they are eating their lunches. "look, the boys are looking at you, some of them are quite handsome I must say." Akari pointed from her shoulder as Nas turned her head to look around.

they are boys and girls whispering and looking at her while blushing when she starts at them they look away and pretend they weren't looking when she looks away they squeal and start whispering at each other. "I mean it's not every day you see the crown princess of obelia walking around the Academy." Akari teased the white-haired girl.

"very funny." she rolled her eyes then continued her sentence. "and what do you mean by it's not every day, they saw me a lot of times already cause I've been here for five years now." Nas rolled her eyes on the blue-haired girl. "eh- well they're some new students you know," Akari said as she eats her lunch.

"oh did you know they have a fanbase about you?" Akari said as she chuckled. "wait what. since when?" Nas asked her friend. "mmm, it started around a year ago how did you not know? like it's quite obvious. even girls have a crush on you." Akari said to her dense friend.

"remember when I turned fourteen my locker was full of letters, flowers, and chocolates?" Nas said. "yeah, I remember that, what about it?"

"I'm still curious how they open my locker. I mean I understand if there's a letter on my locker since they can slip it but flowers and chocolates?" Nas said as she finished her food.

"that's my fault they asked me if I could put it in your locker so I did." Akari casually said as she also finished her food. As Antanasia glared at her.

─────────────────────

Akari and Nas are now allowed to go outside the academy with the help of her parents; they went everywhere together. as she promised she always sent letters to her father every week, who also wrote back the same with Athanasia and Lucas.

she told Claude about her experience here and how nice some of the people here. Claude enjoyed exchanging letters with her first daughter and even kept some of the stolen pictures the Setsuko parents took. Athanasia said that she also wanted to travel with her and she missed having them around. as for Lucas, they also wrote letters secretly on how much she enjoyed it here and want to just stay here. Nas still wears the bracelet that Lucas gave her so far nothing happened to her and she hoped nothing bad would happen.

"Nas," Akari calls the princess who was drinking her juice.

"yes?" the princess looks at her as she pays attention to her best friend while swirling her juice.

"you have a lot of admirers and a lot courted you, yet you haven't chosen one yet." Antanasia almost dropped her juice as she sweatdropped and looked at her best friend, eyes widened.

the princess sighed as she remembered why indeed

"Antanasia." Her father called her. she was eating with Athy and Claude at that time when the emperor spoke.

"yes, dad?" She looks up from her plate to her father. who was looking at her seriously.

"If you're going to arlanta, there's one thing I forbid you from doing." she raised her eyebrow at that. she was forbidden to go out alone without the duke's permission and she was forbidden from accepting invitations from nobles there. What's more, does her father say.

"w-what is it dad?" both Nas and Athy looked nervous because their dad has this serious and dangerous atmosphere on him.

"you are not allowed to have a relationship there." with that Nas choked from her food as she looked at her father again. Athanasia just looked at their father, eyes widened before looking at her sister in worry.

"I-I'm not interested in having a relationship with someone." she answered her friend. Akari looked at her confused at the second before nodding in understanding. "and how about you a lot of guys liked you yet you haven't chosen one." Nas teased her friend as Akari blushed.

"shut it. I'm also not interested in having a relationship." Akari said as she's trying to calm her face. "you say that yet you're having fun with Lord Ijekiel. " Nas teased her again as her friend finally turned a tomato.

"I- what?- no haha-" Akari laughed nervously, scratching the back of her neck out of embarrassment as the Rosey blush remained. "we- uhm.. he- he's just a friend," Nas scoffed at her remark, knowing that her friend has a crush on him. "whatever you say, Kiki"

the princess walked away while Akari had to catch up, forgetting to look in front. she bumped into a young lad, tall, black hair and gold eyes. quite dreamy if you ask me. anyways, the bump snapped them back to reality as Akari fell due to the accident. "ouch!" she replied. the male just looked at the girl then walked away.

'I- how dare he-' Akari thought, anger slowly building up as the princess spoke. "Pfft- HAHAHA ok ok-" She laughed heartily before calming down, knowing that it was improper. "oi, you sir!" she pointed at the male, making him look at her. "won't you apologize?" She questioned, helping Akari to stand up.

they slowly gathered attention, stares and whispers were upon them. Akari didn't like it but Nas had to do something to defend a friend.

"oh my- that's the cold hunter, right?"

"why is he fighting with the princess?"

"What a disgrace to his family."

"his parents must be disappointed up there."

"ahh.. how brave of him~"

the ravenette looked around to see and hear the whispers and gossips as guilt slowly started to build up.

"what the heck do you want?" he questioned the princess. "I want you to apologize," Nas stated blandly as Akari tugged her attire.

"and why would I do that? she was the one that didn't keep her eyes in where she's going."

"hey! Stop arguing." Akari butted in.

"well, it's not her fault she got distracted and plus the way was too big for you to even bump her when you can already see that she was about bump into you." Nas ignored the girl's remark and stood by her actions.

"It's her fault, why would she get distracted in the first place anyway." he said as he looked away at the two girls.

the two have been arguing for a while now, while Akari is trying to stop them, the others who were watching called the teachers and Akari's parents. after a few moments as Duke Daniel arrived seeing the two still fighting.

Nas was trying to reach the guy while Akari who's hugging the princess from behind, restraining her from beating him and the ravenette who's barking back but not moving or flinching at her actions.

"hey hey! Stop that." duke Daniel spoke in an ordering manner, making both of the children stop. Akari sighed and was relieved to see her father, knowing that if it were to continue, things might get out of hand.

"now, why are you two arguing about?" the duke asked the two kids.

"well, this rude guy won't apologise to Akari," Nas said as she rolls her eyes at the ravenette.

"why do I need to apologise when it's her fault for not looking where she's going." he said to the princess as he also rolled his eyes at her.

Akari sighed and sweatdropped at the sight, thinking, 'Damn- I didn't know that Nas was protective' A lazy smile was seen on her face as she watched the two barkings at each other and her father sweat dropping as well.

"Ok. Princess, please stop or else I have to report to your father" Duke Daniel spoke in a soft yet cold tone.

"If you report it to dad I bet this guy will die," Nas spoke. The Duke scoffed as a small smile crept up onto his face. "oh, princess. aith the right information given, he won't die," he spoke in a gentle tone, looking around as he announced, "to everyone that stared, detention shall be served. Whether royals, nobles, knights, commoners, and slums. Duchess Alanya will be the one that'll watch you. now, off you go."

the students scattered throughout their proper rooms like nothing happened, moving onto their next class. Duke Daniel visited each room, preventing a rumour to occur but before that, he spoke to the children.

"don't do that again. especially Royin and Princess Antanasia. The other teachers and your father(antanasia's) will be disappointed in both of you.

'jeez, I jinx it didn't I? When I said nothing bad would happen.' Nas thought as she waited for her to be excused.

"well, there's nothing I can say anymore you two are excused this is the first warning I hope you two don't fight again." Duke Daniel said as he left the room.

"hey- mr cold hunter?" Nas called the ravenette.

"what do you want princess if you want me to apologise I'll say it again. I won't apologise cause it's not my fault at all."

"ah- no I wanted to apologise to you for what I did in there awhile ago," Nas said as she looked away at the guy.

"oh okay if that's all your saying I'll be going now." he said as he left the room.

'this ungrateful brat!' Nas huff as she also left the room to go to her class.

"my my~ what a beautiful scene I've seen today isn't that right Yua?"

"It was kinda boring actually." the girl's name Yua said as she was looking at the princess.

"well we should get going before the teacher scolds us again."

"agreed."

A/N: I hope people still know that this is an OC story as It means Original Character/Own Character. But doesn't mean that you're not allowed to think that you're Nas as you are free to imagine you're her.

But I see some people trying to change my oc's information, appearance, etc.

I don't exactly care if people change Antanasia's name or spelling as I know it's hard to pronounce/read her name correctly but I don't like it if some people changes some of her appearance and information.

I'm not trying to be mean or something, okay? I'm just saying that's all, thank you very much.
