I Got Reincarnated As A Demon Princess

Chapter 4

A month has passed by and Blythe has already adjusted to living in the Academy dorm. She has already perfected all the necessary school spells needed for her daily activities. The only problem now is..

Everyone

Already

Had

A

Group

With my current situation, my chances of actually being part of any group is second to none. I wasn't able to start school here and these people could have been friends for years now!

Blythe flopped on her desk gloomed at the thought that she may never develop friends in this Academy.

"Ah! Voci!"

Oh god.

Only one person calls her that and it pained her to actually get used to the nickname.

Taka ran towards her and sat next to her, looking at her intently.

"Taka, you could just call me Blythe, you know."

"But where's the fun in that? I mean, I've never met anyone actually named loudmouth-"

"Shshshshhhh. People will hear!" she placed her hands in Taka's mouth making him blush a little.

"A-Anyway, how's friend searching? Any luck?" Taka shrugged himself.

"I tried. First, I followed the popular girls and see if I could be friends with them but then they just saw me as a stalker. I also tried to be part of the people who's jnto performing arts. They actually let me try, but I couldn't dance as fancy as them so I tried to show off my vocals. After I sang, it feels like I was completely ignored by them so I just gave up."

Taka laughed making Blythe more gloomy than she already is.

"I also tried May's group, Zia's group, Vivien's, Cora's, Lucy's, and Rea's group. And have failed." she explained further.

"Hey, why not become part of my group of friends?"

"What? You mean those girls who surround you all the time like a bunch of weeds? I never thought you'd actually call them friends."

Taka chuckled.

"No, I actually have friends, you know."

"Ah..The 3 other popular guys you hang out with after school? No, thanks. Besides, that just reminds me of a corny drama I've seen about 4 boys and a girl." she explained.

"Huh? I've never heard of that drama before. Was there even a theater play about it to begin with?"

Of course, there isn't. It only exist in my past life where TV was actually a thing. Taka may be a friend but I don't even get to spend after class with him. It's either, A- he gets swarmed by his fanclub, or B- he gets called by the other popular guys who I never even saw yet since they always ask girls to get Taka for them. Either way, I always end up alone after class.

"Settle down now. Today's a very important lecture." Miss Sevee entered the room making all the students settle down.

"We will be discussing about the great war on Mt. Kambu. But first, who among you here would like to open the discussion on how the war started?" Miss Sevee started, making a few students raise their hands.

The great war on Mt. Kambu was how the war started. Before, demons were part of the everyday life of humans. The exchange of stocks between humans and demons were proof that we could share the world with them. I already know this history so, let me just..

her thoughts discontinued as she flopped on her desk.

"Voci, don't sleep again. you already slept the last time. Miss Sevee will surely notice you." Taka whispered to Blythe but was completely ignored. Taka sighed from Blythe's childish action.

"Yes, Miss Rivia." Miss Sevee pointed at the cute student who sat in the front.

"Like, if the demons didn't have like anger issues there wouldn't actually be a war, right girls?"

"Right, Lucy!" the girls who sat next to her agreed then mockingly laughed.

That's wrong. The great war didn't start with the demon's anger issues!

"Yes, Miss Ainsley?"

Blythe was shocked finding herself standing with all eyes on her. Taka was also shocked to see Blythe stand up during class since he's never actually seen her being active in class.

"T-The mix up." She said.

Everyone seemed to be confused as to what she was talking about.

"In the middle of a cargo exchange, someone meddled with the demon's goods which was sent by the humans. Instead of the receiving a year's supply of vegetables, they received rocks. However, this didn't anger the demons. They approached the nearby town they exchanged goods with. But when they got there, everyone accused them of lying and they were chased out from the town. Up until now, no one knew the cause of the meddled cargo."

Miss Sevee smiled.

"While it is true that the demons got angry, the humans were as well. Instead of resolving the issue, the humans made swords from cores they have mined on the mountain and used this to defend themselves. They even resorted to learning magic thus the present generation of humans able to learn how to cast spells. But instead of defending, they shamefully attacked a nearby demon village, thus, the great Mt. Kambu war. The peace treaty of today has given a lot of beings, both humans and demons, a great sense of peace. While there are still some against it, the kingdoms of both have been working hard to show that humans and demons can coexist in the country of Avansur. Miss Rivia, please continue to read your books." Miss Sevee explained.

The class continued with Blythe falling asleep in the middle of the discussion. After class, Taka was, again, dragged by his fanclub leaving Blythe alone.

"Hey, new girl." Lucy approached her along with her subordinates.

"Huh?"

"Don't think just because you've read lika a few books means you're actually like smarter than me. So, don't get so cocky. I'll let that one time slip just because you sit next to Taka. Next time, I'll show you who you're messing with. C'mon girls, let's go to Taka."

I have a name, you know. I can't believe I actually thought I'd be friends with them. I'm now ever so thankful they rejected me. Ah! I completely forgot! The new books arrive today!

Blythe stood up from where she sat and started walking to the library. The library isn't a very famous place in the Academy. While there are still some students who study there, it has never been to a point where it's jammed with students since people are more reliant on their spell casting abilities, which is 80% of their grades, than actually studying for written exams, which is only 20%. Even though the country of Avansur hosts a lot of theatrical plays, only a few people read the books and novels they originated from. But since Blythe was secretly a huge manga fan in her previous life, reading the novel books in the library is the closest thing she could read to a manga.

The library today was empty like any usual day. The only time the library has a bit of students is before written examinations. Other than those days, it's completely deserted. Blythe approached the librarian desk where a guy wearing a hat, a mask, and a pair of glasses sat. While approaching, she noticed a bit of panic from the guy who sat there like he was rattling to escape.

"Hey! Um, is Kendra around? I really didn't know there were other student librarians in this Academy. Sorry, if I offended you somehow." she said smiling at the guy in the desk.

"You mean you don't recognize me?" The guy stood up and went near Blythe's face.

"A-Am I supposed to?" she was still smiling but her smile seemed to become a bit force.

"A-ah, no no." He said as he took off his glasses and mask then sighed with relief.

Blythe shocked as she pointed at him.

"No! Please, don't tell anyone!"

"You look just like Kendra!"

They simultaneously spoke.

"Huh?"

"I mean, your facial structure is that of a guy but you do look like the male version of Kendra." Blythe explained.

"Blythe?" a soft girly voice called out from behind Blythe.

"Kendra!" Blythe rushed to hug this girl with long white hair and red eyes.

"I thought you wouldn't be here!" Blythe said.

"I went to greet the author who came and dropped by the new books for the library." she explained peaking at Blythe's back.

"I see, I see." Blythe said with her hand on her chin while nodding.

"Ah, Blythe, this is my twin brother, Kenny."

"A pleasure to meet you." Kenny said.

"The pleasures all mine!"

"I asked him to watch the library for me while I went out to get the books. He offered to get them for me, but he didn't know where the meet up place was and he's not so good with directions." Kendra smiled.

"H-hey. you don't have to go through the details." Kenny said, embarrassed.

"That's so cool." Blythe said making Kendra and Kenny look at her.

"Having a twin... is so cool!" She said giving them a very large smile.

The twins blushed at the sight of Blythe smiling. Kendra looked at Kenny as the feeling of hurt comes back from when her so-called friends used her to get near him.

"A-alright. I have to go now. See you at home, sis." Kenny said waving goodbye to Blythe and Kendra who just snapped back from reality.

"So, do you.. have it?" Blythe said.

"he-he." Kendra said as she held 3 books with the title The Fallen Kingdom book 2, 3, and 4.

Blythe and Kendra screeched and giggled while fangirling on their favorite novel.

After that, they both settled in the botanical part of the library where they had tea as they read the books.

As the sun rose, the blood stain on my dress grew darker with the sun's touch. But I would never imagine that the last thing I will see, are the tears of my lover. Thus, I held his face and tried to wipe them but they wouldn't stop. So, I kissed his cheek to comfort is broken heart as I drifted to.. an.. eter..nal.. sleep.

Kendra and Blythe teared up as they finished the first book.

The Fallen Kingdom had made a huge impact on their friendship. They both found themselves in the library wanting to read the same book and since the library only had one copy, they had to read it together and found themselves completely hooked with the book. After a while, they forgot the awkwardness and just shared the fun reading they've been doing.

"I-I can't believe Miss Beth sacrificed herself for Edward." Blythe said still sobbing.

"M-me, too." Kendra sympathized.

"And who knew, Sicca had a twin! That's super plot twist!" Blythe said to Kendra.

"Y-yeah! I really thought Sicca was doing it all by herself!"

"Speaking of twin, how come you never told me you had a twin?" Blythe questioned making Kendra a bit self-conscious.

"I didn't know if I needed to.. or if I wanted to."

"What do you mean?" Blythe wondered.

"Don't get me wrong, I love my brother. We have always been so close ever since. But even though we have the same face, we were always treated different. My brother was strong and smart. Because of this, he was allowed to do whatever he wants to do. I, on the other hand, was weak and fragile. I was always stuck with 8 hours of tutoring while my brother gets to play around a lot. I was sick a lot of times, too and that concerned our parents. Even though we have the same face, my brother was popular at school while I was stuck at home being sick again. Today, I don't get sick so often anymore but I guess I kinda found myself this heaven of a place. I got used to the quiet and I've been reading novels my whole life. I didn't tell you about my brother because I thought if you found out you'd leave me and this place. Ever since, I didn't know what a real friend is like because they always just turn out to use me to get close to him." Kendra explained.

"Ah, but what makes your brother so special? You went through a lot of sickness and you're still here today. Doesn't that make you the strong one?"

Blythe's words shocked Kendra who then gave Blythe a soft warm smile. She then proceeded to hug Blythe tightly.

"H-hey! what's wrong Kendra???"

"Nothing. Just let me hug you for a while."

I'm so glad you're my first friend.

Kendra thought to herself.

Meanwhile, in a village on the south.

"T-the goblins are attacking our crops!! Hurry to the town center!!" A citizen shouted to the group of people headed towards the town.

A pack of red eyed goblins roamed the crops and ate a bunch of them. At the same time, some of them were attacking civilians who ran away from their village which was being slaughtered to the ground by the rampaging goblins.

In the nearby town, the citizens who have escaped gathered while a meeting was held by the town council.

"What do we do, mayor? All the heroes are busy dealing with the Orcs and Giants in the North who were also rebeling against the peace treaty."

"Compared to orcs and giants, goblins are weak so they wouldn't send some of the heroes to us!"

"We can't even offer high bids in the guilds since they're all forced to close down!"

"This wouldn't have happened if that damn king, didn't sign that treaty!"

"Silence, Bart! You shall never bad mouth his highness!"

The meeting became a chaotic one leading to the mayor silencing them by putting his hand down on the table loudly.

"I didn't think I'd resort to this. Send a message to the Royal Academy directed to Aiwell. And put the name... Dimples."

"I'm sorry, mayor Snit? Dimples?"

"Yes, Dimples! Now, hurry up and send it you stupid son of b*tch!" the mayor shouted and threw a wine glass at the running messenger boy.

The angry mayor looked at the bunch inside the meeting who have shut their mouth in fear.

The night grew darker with the goblins breaking every last house in the village.

Back at the Academy, Blythe's heart raced as sceneries of demons cried out for her help. She woke up from the bad dream and calmed herself down. After a while, she opened her window and saw the great moon shine. Her thoughts were foggy with worries that the dreams she's been having lately have been consistent.

If a time comes when she has to decide who she saves, will she save the humans who have betrayed her in her past life? Or the demons who have loved her in this new life? One thing's for sure, the story.. is just beginning.
