Amyra POV
I was bored…too bored. I looked at the cadets in front of .
They had already given up, their fighting spirits were crushed the mont they realised who I was—Imperial Princess. Strongest of my generation.
There were three of them, but still they didn't even try to put up a fight. They were just fighting with each other the mont before my arrival.
But as soon as I arrived and they recognised , they just surrendered. Giving their bracelets obediently as they were disqualified.
Pathetic. They were truly pathetic.
[Points 100]
I looked at the notifications that popped up after their bracelet rged with mine. It didn't matter…none of it mattered anyways.
I opened the leaderboard to check the ranking.
1) NYX RAVENSCAR - 900
2) AMYRA CELESTRIAN - 840
3) LUCIEN CELESTRIAN—800
4) ZEPHYR DRAGON—770
5) SELES DRAVEN—680
…
….
….
I looked at the top na…Nyx Ravenscar.
Who was she?
No matter how many tis I scanned my mories, I couldn't find anyone with that na. She wasn't part of my expectations.
Yet she was ahead of .
I found it annoying for a mont. Not because I cared about being first but because so unknown variable was stepping into my domain.
But ultimately, it didn't matter much as long as she didn't interfere in my plans.
And even if she did interfere, then at most I'll just have to deal with one extra obstacle in the future.
I dismissed thoughts about it as I didn't care... After all, everything was just aningless.
The rankings, the test, the so-called Academy.
None of it mattered.
Because I wasn't here for those things.
'I was here for only one reason.'
I scrolled further down the ranking, trying to find his na, and soon I found him.
8) ALDEN DRAVEN - 500
I felt a familiar warmth spread throughout my body as I saw his na. My mouth unconsciously curled into a smile.
'You are finally here.'
For years, I imagined this very mont, seeing your na, knowing you were here, breathing the sa air as . And now… you're finally within my reach.
'I'll never let you go this ti.'
There were already many changes from what I had expected. Appearance of so girl of unknown origin. The sudden shift in my brother's personality.
But none of them mattered as long as you are here…with . Nothing else in this world was of any importance. They are all worthless.
Just as I was lost in my thoughts, my body started to be covered in warm light. I felt my body turn weightless before my surroundings dissolved as I was teleported.
I appeared in the familiar orientation hall where the test had started. The hall was still crowded with many students who had passed the test.
I wanted to look around, search for him imdiately…. but instead I felt a tangible pressure on .
My gaze turned toward the direction I felt the pressure from as I saw a middle-aged man with neatly parted brown hair and abyssal black eyes sitting casually on a chair.
Jeremy Voidforge
The principal of this academy was seated casually as he observed each and every student lazily.
I looked at him as I saw his gaze pause on . He looked at for a few seconds, trying to analyse my strength.
How annoying.
He increased his pressure on all of a sudden to get a reaction out of . But I didn't react. I didn't avert my eyes either as I looked straight at him, already feeling irritated because he interrupted my search.
It caught him off guard as an amused smirk flashed on his face, which vanished as soon as it appeared.
Tch
I already knew what kind of person the principal was, but I didn't care. He wasn't important.He was just an annoyance for at present.
He completed his short, half-hearted speech in his lazy voice. I barely listened to his words, my mind lost thinking about only one person.
Jeremy soon completed his speech as he turned around to leave.
Many students heaved a sigh of relief as they felt pressure on them lift, but I was already scanning the crowd for any sign of him.
I just wanted to see him.
And then—
There he is…
I saw him…he was just about to leave. As if feeling my gaze, he turned around to look straight at .
As soon as I saw his face, a smile appeared on my face.
My world turned silent, all the noise in the surrounding fading.
Everything faded.
All I could see was him.
I wanted to reach out to him. To talk to him…I wanted to hug him…to tell him how much I missed him, how much I waited for this mont.
But I couldn't do that.
Not yet.
I knew him too well…how his personality was. He didn't trust anyone easily. If I showed him too much emotion, he would probably suspect . He would push away.
I can't let that happen.
I couldn't let him know who I was...at least not until he realises it himself. I need to be patient.
Until he understands we are ant to be together.
Suddenly he averted his gaze to another person.
A boy with ordinary brown hair and grey eyes—soone nobody had placed his hands on my Alden's shoulder.
I could feel my fingers twitching as the smile on my face vanished.
I could feel anger boil within .
Who gave him permission to touch my Alden?
But I soon controlled my anger. It was all temporary after all, Alden belongs to .
I turned around to leave, although I wanted to see Alden more, but I knew I couldn't right now. I had to win his trust gradually.
I felt a gaze my way. I looked at the source only to find my stupid brother shivering slightly as he looked in my direction. His fist was clenched.
Pathetic.
I had heard about the little change in his personality and had expected him to change. But it seems I was wrong. He is still the sa coward he was in the past.
But I didn't care anymore as I left the hall.
