Chapter 1 Eltia
My name is Eltia Vellion, I am 18 years old, I have white short hair and my eyes are blue, and I am also the princess of this Kingdom.
My father is Orion Vellion, and he is the current king, and my mother is Sarah Vellion, but she passed away when I was 10 years old.
I enroll to this academy to seek knowledge and this academy is the perfect place for me to do it. The academy has produced talented individuals that will lead and improve this kingdom. My parents also studied and graduated here and both of them are exceptional students, they held the records for the highest grades and sport in all subject, and sports.
Many of our citizens thinks that they met and fall in love here, but they were all wrong. My father told me that during their times here they always compete with each other, only after graduation that they fall in love and that was during their times as soldier on the frontline 18 years ago. That was the story of my parents but this is my story and my path as the future leader of this kingdom, I must exceed my father and mother.
I entered the classroom and walk towards my desk at the middle row and sit on my chair. I took out my crystal phone and I look at the clock. It was 7:30 AM, and class start at 8, so there is plenty of time for me to do some revision. My eyes slightly look at a certain someone as she moves towards me with a smile.
“Good morning, Eltia.” This person in front of me is Valeri Arvo, my classmates and my friend.
“Good morning Valeri, your pretty early, I thought you are still in bed?, you were drinking last night, right?” I replied to her and also asking if she is alright.
“Shhh...” she put her palm hand over my mouth. It is sweaty.
“Don't tell anyone what happened last night, I don't want my reputation to be ruin” she explained to me as I grab her palm away from my mouth.
“Your hand is sweaty.” I told her.
“But you don't have to worry I haven't said a word to anyone about what happened last night.”
“Are my hands that sweaty?” she put both of her hands together.
“You're right, my hands are sweaty”. She explained.
“It looks like you're completely fine for someone who goes all out last night.”
“Yes, I am. I just take 2 anti-hangover pills this morning to ease the dizziness.”
Good thing, I prepared those pills before we headed out last night.
“Well then good for you.” I praise her.
“So, did you do it?”
“Do what?”
“You know what I'm talking about.” She ask me. I still do not have a clue what she's talking about.
“What do you mean?” I asked her.
“Are you playing dumb?” just tell me, what you are talking about.
“I don't have a clue.”
“Come on, can you stop teasing me and just tell me? .” I told her. I am curious what she is on about?
She leaned on to me and whisper to my right ear.
“Did you have s*x with your boyfriend.”
That question took me by surprise and my face turns red as I try to hide it.
“So you did do it. Hehe.” she chuckled at me.
“No.” I whispered her.
Last night, I was going out with her and some friends, and my boyfriend bought his friends too. We drank until my boyfriend tell me to go to a hotel, but I refused because he was drunk and Valeri was also drunk. I told one of his friends that I know to take care of him, and we parted ways, I took Valeri and headed to her dorm and put her to bed, and that was the end of the story.
I explained to her what happened at that time, and I was also angry that my boyfriend tries to take advantage on me. Furthermore, I took my phone and message him, and to let him know that I am angry at him.
“So, nothing really happened, huh?” she told me unimpressed.
“Why are you getting unimpressed?” I asked her.
“Well, isn't time for you two to take the next step in your relationship, right?” she ask me.
It is true that our relationship are going needed to be taken the next step because it was going nowhere and, our text messages and calls became short, but I do not know if having intimate body contact can help our relationship to grow and the other thing that I have kept secret from her is that I am a royal blood, and I have a power that have been passes down for generations.
This power only available for those who have 'purity' within themselves, so I thought that purity means that person needed to be pure before becoming a leader to this kingdom. I do not know whether it is true or not, but maybe in the future I can find my answer.
“I'm not ready.” I told her while avoiding eye contact.
“Hmm…, don't be shy, there is nothing to be afraid, it's okay for girls our age to have intimate body contact with the opposite sex.” she teases me with a grin on her face.
“It's not that I don't want it or talking about it, it's just that time of the month for me.” I lied just to drop the topic. It is actually next month.
“Oh, I didn't know.” she replied. Thankfully she accepts.
“But, isn't your period next month?” I paused for while. Damn she is sharp as ever. I compose myself.
“Well, you know some girls coming of the month came late and others earlier.” I add another lie.
“Hmm?, it's weird cause I never actually had that kind of problem.”
“I think you should go to a hospital, for a medical checkup.” she told me.
“Want me accompanying you?”
“No, you don't have too, I can do it alone.” and another lie is added. I am sorry Valeri, please forgive me and to my mother who is up there, I am sorry that I told lies.
“Okay, as you say so.” she said. We then continue talking about other topic, until 8 AM.
The professor walk into our classroom and move towards his desk at the front. Valeri then walk toward her desk. I take out my book and starts to focus on his lectures.
