See You Soon~

Corale's entire body turned limp and powerless instantly, and her body fell to the pavement as Victor released the death grip on her arm. Why? Why was it when Corale believed that she had the hope of being happy, there was always something that made her rethink that there was no happiness for her? Victor paid close attention to every step she took to not leave a single gap of freedom left for her. Corale gasped, remembering something that made her whole body sweat with fear. Don't tell her all this information he got from one of her family members. Corale couldn't forgive herself if that happened, “You know where I came from? Reply to me." "Calm down Corale," Victor tried to reduce Corale's anger even though a smirk on his lips said otherwise, "I always have a way of getting information about you." "Who?" Corale asked, afraid of the possibility of her loved ones being threatened again to make their lives under pressure. Victor just let out a pretty loud laugh. Corale slowly stepped back, disgusted and disgusted by the dirty work he had done to 'claim' her. She would ask those around her about this after getting away from Victor, "You're a monster." She cursed under her breath. "Is that what you should say to your future husband?" Victor had lost his mind thinking she would be willing to be his bride. "Get away from me!" Corale snapped loudly, masking her fear with her voice and expression. She hoped that Victor didn't do anything weird in a public place like this, "You monster ...!" "Find another wish because I can't grant it for this one," Victor replied, but his footsteps turned away from Corale, contrary to his said, "I'll see you soon." Corale watched Victor leave for the campus building with a wary look, never believing what he was saying. Surprisingly he didn't go in alone, two strange men were coming up to him, so friendly that they embraced him. 'I forgot that he easily blends into new surroundings behind his obsession with me.' Victor is arguably the most famous man in their city, besides his handsome face, he is also from a rich family. Where Corale couldn't understand why out of all the beautiful women he chose her, even though as a child he always mocked that no one would like her for having bunny teeth. Gael and his friends have to stop Victor's outrageous taunts. Corale hugged herself, giving herself strength as she felt her trauma slowly resurface. Everything has passed. Everything is passed. Corale looked down gloomily. It's all in the past, but why is her heart still uneasy about this? Corale shook her head vigorously. Reminding herself to do something else is better than endlessly negative thoughts. Zoe. Corale checked her surroundings. “Corale!” Corale's smile widened as she saw Zoe jog across to where she was, "Good morning." “Morning too,” Zoe greeted back, “Oh, you must have waited long? Sorry, there was a bit of trouble at the cafe so I was late.” Corale shook her head, for her, Zoe keeping her promise was enough, "You're in college today?" Zoe moved her body with a mischievous look, "Hm~ hm~ not really, but I'm making an exception because you're beautiful." Corale was surprised, her cheek heated up a little bit, “Beautiful?” Zoe ignored and immediately grabbed Corale's hand, inviting her inside, “Come on~! There's a lot I want to show you, and I'm sure you'll love it~!” Corale didn't refuse, she was just as enthusiastic as Zoe. She wouldn't let Victor's influence ruin her day. *** Zoe introduced some of her hangout friends to her. Corale didn't feel comfortable because they all came from rich families and didn't go to university on scholarships like her. Their eyes seemed to judge whether or not she deserved to fit into their circle, but after she explained why she was here, their gazes turned soft. “No way, you are the missing Princess of Mr. Laurent!?” Zoe asked in shock. Corale laughed nervously. Missing daughter? Now, that sounds like an exaggeration, “Yes,” she answered rather nervously giving this vital information to people she had just met. “You are a princess, huh,” Zoe said, “everyone is talking about you, you have the guts to choose to live in a castle over your father's mansion, and—” "Huh? What's with the castle?” "As expected you don't know the rumors growing here." Corale had a bad feeling about this. Was there something she missed? She didn't notice anything strange during her stay in the castle. Zoe hesitated a little about this, "Actually there's a rumor saying that the castle was cursed along with the butler and the maid." Corale felt uncomfortable when Zoe mentioned the word 'cursed', reminding her of her nightmare about Vyrion, but her curiosity kept her quiet, so Zoe continued her speech. “People also say that maids and butlers are not human because they are hardly ever seen out of the castle or just into town to buy food,” Zoe continued, “which is silly by the way, we live in an age of high-tech, buying necessities. online is already very popular here~!” Corale agrees with Zoe's opinion, it's ridiculous what people think about it. Maybe because the castle looked old it gave people a negative impression that Vyrion and Vega weren't human. 'Hahaha … they're not really humans.' Although they haven't said anything yet, Corale has that speculation. "That's why some think they're Vampires too." Corale's eyes widened. Vampire? Corale thought that at first after learning about Vyrion's magic power, they spent time together outside without any protection, sleeping together, meaning he wasn't a Vampire. Or is he? So many mysteries surround Vyrion and Vega. "It's just a rumor. I don't buy it,” Zoe concluded, “I thought Vyrion was just an introvert when we were together yesterday! He likes being in the castle rather than outside interacting with people.” Corale strongly agrees with that one opinion. "But anyway, let's stop talking about your lover—" “I told you Vyrion didn't—” “How do you feel about Victor studying here too?” Zoe interrupted, her calm voice tinged with anxiety. Corale didn't want to remember Victor, making her day even worse if she remembered their conversation. She gave Zoe an exception because she was so nice to her, "I'm fine." "Really?" Zoe wasn't sure from the expression on Corale's face that didn't look bright, "even though he's in the same major as you?" What? “Same major?” Zoe nodded. "He majored in business like you, I guess you know this." Corale couldn't quite hear what Zoe was saying, her head was already spinning because she and Victor would be in the same class together for the next few years.
