When I got off the carriage, I heard whispering.

“That sentence is…?”

“Duke Arjan!”

He saw the seal attached to the carriage.

To put it simply, our family crest is Black Dragon. I mean, it was quite noticeable.

“Wow… bro. That girl is very pretty.”

“What are you saying! Is this a pretty girl freshman?! Where… kek! Chairman…”

“Yes…? Chairman?”

“Do not make eye contact. If you get caught by the chairman for no reason…”

I couldn’t hear it clearly, but I could hear whispers coming from all over the place.

“It’s the chairman…!”

“…You look bright today?”

“Is that bright?”

“Of course. Usually there is a fierce wind blowing.”

“Did something pleasant happen?”

“Who is the girl next to you? Isn’t it so cute?”

“Aren’t you a bit young for a freshman?”

“What… you don’t know…? So… he is the chairman’s younger brother… in the social world… I would say he is a pink viper… if he gets caught by mistake…”

After all, our Maria. Everyone can’t take their eyes off me.

“Heeek…!”

A girl who made eye contact with me took a step back as if she was surprised.

“Hmm?”

therefore. 18 years old… was she the Cherno Lady…?

It looks like he’s a freshman.

My social debut was fairly quick. Since I was already running several businesses, I only went to places that interested me.

About a year ago, people ignored me because I was young. I was thinking about beating him up with words, but I was too lazy so I just let go of my magic.

I barely have that so far.

“Tsk tsk.”

I shook my head and walked away.

“Marian! I’m sorry, I have a lot to prepare today. Is it okay if I go alone?”

“Of course.”

I’m not a kid so I can’t do that?

As soon as I said that.

“Hmm…”

Get lost… no.

“The road ran away.”

The academy is very spacious.

Although wealthy commoners attend the academy, it is only natural as it is an academy attended by arrogant nobles.

So it wasn’t uncommon for someone to run away like this.

‘If not, then it’s not.’

There isn’t even a friendly sign like Hyundai.

“It’s unnecessarily spacious.”

Objectively, my appearance was quite noticeable, and as I walked around avoiding the curious stares…

“Ah.”

Fortunately, there were a lot of people and we were soon able to find the auditorium.

* *

When I entered the main auditorium, the entrance ceremony was in full swing. Is the person standing on the podium the dean?

“Um.”

The wizard’s realm appears to be circle 6.

“Welcome to Cardea Academy!”

Even though he was old enough to be an old man, his booming voice resonated throughout the auditorium.

Gandalbene, to put it simply, has a long gray beard.

“This academy is equal. Everyone is equal, whether commoners, nobles, or royals!”

his sermon. The speech was quite long.

In short, everyone is equal. That’s it.

Looking at the reactions of the nobles around me, they are saying this is bullshit.

Sometimes people who look at me with bright eyes…

Most of them were commoners. Among them, commoners who do not know reality.

Classes are already divided even before admission.

Noble > Highly successful > Commoner.

The current dean received his title from a commoner, so his approval rating is high among commoners, but…

Well, it’s not something I should worry about.

“Then the freshman representative. Marian Arjane!”

ah.

ruined.

I was hiding well behind it.

“Marian Arjane?!”

“Duke’s second child?”

“Aren’t you 13 yet?!”

“Was the rumor that you were entering the school true?!”

There were whispers and even students who recognized me and glanced at me.

If I had known this would happen, I would have gotten a few questions wrong.

I need to finish it quickly.

When I went up to the podium, the microphone was quite high.

My current height is 152cm, which is by no means short for my age… but it was a height that was not inconvenient…

When I turn my head, I see the dean smiling at me as if he is in a good mood.

Even though he is an old man, he is tall and appears to be over 180cm. For him, it was at chin level, but for me, it was forehead level.

As soon as I tiptoed up, the microphone came right at eye level.

It’s humiliating.

Greetings to new students…

Many words that I have heard come to mind.

We sincerely congratulate the new students on their admission.

Although it’s not enough, I took on the role of representative for freshmen this time.

As a freshman representative, I am very happy to have been admitted to the same academy as you.

The same useless word passed by.

“This is Merian Arjane. Thank you very much.”

The words that came out of my mouth were short.

After saying hello, I was about to go down the podium but stopped.

It was because I made eye contact with an unexpected person.

* * *

It was a quiet classroom, but there was whispering.

“Wow… It’s really cute… That fluffy-looking hair… White cheeks… I want to touch it just once…”

“Are you crazy? We are commoners, and she is a princess.”

In modern times, there were girls who were somewhere between high school and college students.

There were many stories, but the main topic was.

Marianne Arjein. It was a story about her.

A genius who entered the academy at the age of 13.

Even the family is the best duke in the empire.

Naturally, many people’s interest was drawn to her appearance as cute as cotton candy.

Although they could not easily approach the dignity that was felt even at a young age, most students expressed favorable views.

but.

Some of them.

“That’s a pink viper? He’s just a kid?”

A man stood up.

“Hey. What are you trying to do?!”

Despite the man’s dissuasion from him.

His name was Heath Stalin, who walked forward and stood in front of Marian.

‘There’s no way I lost to a kid like this.’

Ranked 7th in admission score. In this class, except for Marian, I had the best grades.

“Ha. No matter how much it is a conspiracy to destroy even flying birds… but what about fraudulent admissions…”

He even received predicted problems from his former professor and studied them.

‘Otherwise, there’s no way I’m worse than a 13-year-old… !’

Marian raised her head at the shadow cast on the desk. The round eyes were so lovely that the women who saw them covered their mouths.

‘Ha! Really… cute… Ah! What should I do…? Should I call the professor?’

‘Class will be coming soon…’

The students looked at Marian with worried expressions.

Lady Marian is in a novel that people can imagine. She was perfectly replicating the image of a princess who was loved and raised.

but.

The girl took one look at the man and turned her head.

Complete disregard.

He said it was a duchy, but he didn’t exactly say it was an Arjean duchy.

His family is barely a viscount. Even the most equal academy did not have the courage to mention it directly.

Equality.

That’s just appearance.

There were many nobles who looked down on commoners, and he was one of those nobles. Normally I would have fallen flat on my face.

As he looked around, the women his eyes met turned their heads.

‘It’s a class with a lot of commoners, but the level is quite high?’

He smiled in satisfaction and looked at Marian again.

A corner window seat. The sunlight shining slightly and the hair gently blowing in the wind.

‘She’s pretty, but she’s damn pretty… . Even after three years, or just one more year… .’

gulp.

It wouldn’t be a good idea to push too hard… ?

He looked at me for a moment as if fascinated, then opened his mouth.

“Young-ae. If it is a fraudulent admission, please remain quiet as a fraudulent admission.”

After saying those words, he turned his head with a satisfied expression.

It was then.

Marian took out a black fan and waved it.

Wow~!

White and pretty hands. She looks as fluffy as cotton candy.

Stalin struck Viscount Yeongsik’s right cheek sharply.

His head turned back to the other side and his gaze met Marian.

A moment of silence.

Someone put their hand over their mouth.

Some people stared blankly, unable to even close their mouths.

The person who broke the silence was the one who caused it.

“Ah. There was a bug.”

Those who were watching took a deep breath at the calm voice, as if they had really caught a bug.

“Me, Lady Marian. What is this all of a sudden…!”

He said foolishly, holding one cheek.

She closed her eyes and waved her fan.

Whilick. Pak.

“Ugh…!”

“Another bug…”

Left cheek.

Sigh.

Right cheek.

Wow.

The sound of the cheek being slapped rang out loudly.

Because of her merciless handshake, he ended up taking a step back.

Even his courage, which he said he couldn’t back down from being hit by a girl, had already broken down and he was covering his face with his hands.

I heard whispering around me.

“Wow… . Even if you’re young… . You are a princess… .”

“It’s scary… .”

“Still, it’s kind of cool… .”

“Viscount Stalin’s name… . The rumors weren’t good… . Some of the maids in the mansion were kicked out because they were pregnant… .”

“You… !”

As he was trying to control the class, he realized what had happened belatedly and pointed a point at Marian as if he had forgotten his position.

“You are the one to be quiet. It would be better for you if you don’t bother me.”

Marian, who got up from her seat, passed by him and whispered softly.

He felt a strange pressure.

It felt like looking at a work of art, with long eyelashes and white facial features highlighted through narrowed eyes.

The moment she forgot the situation and looked at it appreciatively, her eyes opened. Bright pink eyes. Still, the moment I encountered it, I got goosebumps. A feeling of something pressing down on the body and a feeling of fear.

It’s like something I felt from my father…

‘no. It’s more than that…!’

It was an energy he had only felt from a wizard far more powerful than himself.

When I came to my senses, I was sitting down and shaking.

‘If I had been picky, I would have gotten tired of it.’

He sighed, relieved that he wasn’t tired.

I was mistaken… . It wasn’t admission fraud, it was a monster.

He was a womanizer and arrogant, but he wasn’t a complete idiot.

Like most nobles, it is strong and weak.

like. It was as if she had read his mind. I heard a voice in my ear.

It was a very gentle voice, but it was a place where no one was around. The voice echoing in my head gave me goosebumps.

‘Let’s never mess up again.’

He resolved deep in his heart to live a quiet academy life.
