Chapter 11: School Goddess (1/2)

”Good morning, Serena, right? Again, I am Gizel and this is my cousin Via. Would you care to join us in exploring the school grounds?” The girl who sat beside Serena asked her in a friendly manner while introducing her cousin who sat in front of her.

”Sure, thank you for inviting me, Gizel, Via.” Serena replied as she smiled back.

”Would you mind if I join you? I am Millicent by the way, you may call me Milly.” The girl in front of Serena cut in.

”Of course, Milly. Let's go?” Gizel replied, being the self-appointed leader of the group.

The group of four collected their pouches. As they left the class. Serena was able to observe that cliques already started to form. Serena stood beside Gizel, walking in front, while Milly and Via stood behind them.

”So... Serena, is it true that you are the fiancé of Crown Prince Geoffrey?” Gizel asked, being quite the gossip monger.

”Ah... well.... Kinda?” Serena answered feeling awkward. 'Well, soon to be ex-fiance, but still a fiancé now...'

”Ooohhhh I heard about it from mother. She said that the queen was so upset at that time as the kingdom of Horace wanted to form ties with Windsor through marriage. However, the princess is still so young. She just turned twelve this year. Talking about princesses, what can you say about Teacher Grace? Isn't she just wonderful?” Milly chimed in.

”Yes, I just want to be like her in the future.” Via replied seriously.

The four of them walked through the school and Serena was able to gauge the characters of her newfound friends.

Gizel and Via were from the kingdom of Militeia. Gizel was a daughter of Marquess Morris, she was outspoken and quite the gossip. She has an older brother who is a senior this year.

Via was the first born child of Earl Gonzales who is also a general. Coming from a military family, she is a little quiet and serious. The two were maternal cousins.

Milly was from Horace, she is the youngest daughter of Earl Stark. She was also a gossip and hit it off immediately with Gizel as the two of them had a lot in common.
