At your service, my lady Give me your word
At the president´s office, inside Nicholas´head.It was faint, but I can swear I saw it.At that moment, in the arena, when he rose his fist.The future. A glimpse of it.One where he ruled with many people at his side. And there was an army, an invincible army that would be the bastion against everything that could harm this kingdom.There would be irregulars and nobles fighting together as one. People would gather around them to congratulate them on their victories. And I would be at my home, with a beautiful wife and children with smiles on their faces. Living peacefully.And he would be there, on the throne, with his forces ready to strike down the enemies before him.History will talk about us from this moment onwards. I must make sure that the tales are worth listening to.That´s why you have to ascend, Dominique. Even higher than me.You will be the weapon I use to force my father into submitting the throne. I will show him your power. Your bravery and greed.And once you mar

With heavy steps and a sad face. Isabella was walking through the halls as tears ran down her cheeks.There was a pain in her chest that was too embarrassing to show. It was because the only source of this nasty feeling was no one but her.She didn´t want to accept it. Not like this. Not with that woman.Luck was not on her side since the day she was born as a commoner with irregular magic. There were struggles in every corner of her life. Money, friends, love. All those things that people enjoy so much are things that seem just like distant dreams for her.Joining this academy was because her mother had begged her to try it. She had done so much for her, so refusing was not an option.With little hope to face any changes, Isabella accepted and signed up to be a student in the academy. But what was the first thing that they told her?That she was different. A threat. A mistake.So much to even be marked as a demon by the academy itself.Isabella wanted to curl up and scream. Throw a p
At your service, my lady Fame and... Friends?
With our little meeting finished, Jasmine and Isabella accompanied me to our classroom. We had lost the first lesson since Nicholas called us, but the teachers noticed so there shouldn´t be problems with our late arrival.I would have liked to speak more with Véronica, but she was busy with the council´s work and her own classes. We agreed to meet during lunch break anyways, so all I need to do now is be patient.As we walked through the hallways I noticed that most students around us were whispering and looking at our direction with curious eyes. It was time to change classrooms so it wasn´t strange for them to be walking around school.Both girls also noticed this and showed triumphant smiles.What with these two?I could understand the good feeling that comes with victory, but they seem more like the owner of a dog whose proud of its performance.Am I the dog?...I ditched the thought as I saw the classroom´s door. Students were still entering so there was no need to knock an anno
At your service, my lady Lunch time, part 1
"Dominique! Let´s get some lunch!""That was the plan, wasn´t it?"The class was over in a couple of hours, and the teacher in charge had arrived late because he got lost on his way to the classroom.Nobody cared much since it was day one. And honestly, in a classroom filled with young adults, it´s kind of hard to find someone eager to get lectured by an old man."Should I get your lunch, master?"Jasmine came from the back and placed her face dangerously close to mine while saying that. Isabella whore a tired face when she saw us."Let´s get to the green zones first, I don´t want to waste anyone´s time" I responded with an awkward smile as I got up from my seat."As you wish"Isabella also abandoned her seat and grabbed Jasmine´s hand to pull her away from me."Aren´t you a bit close, maid?""Not at all, that distance is normal between us. Not only that, we usually are even closer~"Jasmine winked gracefully as a sly grin appeared on her lips. Isabella´s cheeks became redder with fru
At your service, my lady Lunch time, part 2
We finally arrived at the cafeteria. Normally, one would think that getting from the main building to the green lands of wind would take a long time, but the academy had plenty of transportation methods that the students could use to get from one point to another rather quickly.The zone looked like a city plaza. It was filled with a good variety of food posts that the students could visit to pay for a well-made meal.There were also several tables, benches, and sofas to sit and eat with friends. This is truly a school for the wealthy...I had a good amount of money thanks to my work with Herion, so I was able to pay for anything I wanted for a time. Still, that was not an excuse to just buy anything with a price mark on it."Let´s get our food, I already have a table, so we´ll go there once we are done picking up our meals""You already have a table, mister Dominique? How? When?"The guy from the group asked me with skepticism all over his face. I showed him a little smile and said:

"Oh, there they are. Over here!"As soon as we were getting near a white kiosk surrounded by a ring of flowers, the people sitting in there greeted us with a wave of their hand."My, my. What a surprise is to see you surrounded by new friends""It was a nice chance to meet new people, so we just took it, right?"Isabella nodded with a smile on her face and I sat in one of the chairs. My place got me right across Véronica, so I had a nice view of her beauty.Naturally, Isabella took her seat beside me.This was premeditated, because now, Nicholas was in front of her. Both stared at each other for a couple of seconds before greeting each other."Thank you for allowing us to eat with you, Prince Nicholas""Please, you don´t have to use such a formal treat with me. We are all students of the same academy, and you will be part of Dominique´s disciplinary committee, so it´s better if you talk to me more informally""... I think I´ll restrain from that for the moment. I don´t want to cause u
At your service, my lady It was nice, but we have to move forward
The sun was high, and the smell of a variety of foods was flooding the air along with the sounds of people chatting and laughing. We had a nice atmosphere that made the food taste even better."I can´t believe the prince is eating with those demons...""Who are those lowly nobles? How dare they eat with the council?""They must have tricked the prince! Surely they used a cursed artifact or their vile magic!"Or at least that was the case when you weren´t focused on the surroundings.People were gossiping about us in some indiscreet manner. Some of them even stared at us without mercy. I was able to feel their jealousy and disgust as their grim faces showed me their thoughts.Well, I was already expecting that... And I´m sure Nicholas and the others are aware too...Eating with the prince and the council was not just a thing I wanted to do as friends, but also as a message to the whole academy.We can stay close to the prince when you can´t.That´s what Isabella and I were telling the
At your service, my lady This may be a long day...
Classes ended without many interesting things to do. Isabella and I left the classroom with Jasmine and our new group of friends. We stayed together until we reached the stables. Once there, each of us separated and went their way. "Is someone going to pick you up, Isabella?""I´ll take the public carts, my family can´t afford a personal drake for me""I see. Do you want me to give you a ride?"She smiled and tilted her head."Thank you, but I´m fine. I just have to walk a little""Well all right, I´ll be seeing you tomorrow then"I jumped onto Twilight´s back and helped Jasmine to get behind me."See you tomorrow, Miss Isabella"Jasmine pressed her chest closer to my back and enveloped my hips with her arms."... See you tomorrow, Jasmine"Isabella was smiling, but I wasn´t able to feel any good emotion from her.Without further ado, Jasmine and I waved goodbye to Isabella as Twilight got us to the exit of the academy. Since this was the time when all the students were l
