(Hello to all of you who take their ti to read my book (if there's any). Sadly, I can't write an update for today since I am feeling too ill to write. I did try forcing myself to write tho, but I'm afraid that would affect the quality plus the tears from my eyes wouldn't stop flowing, it stings my eyes and annoys the hell out of :<
Anyway, rest assured I will continue work tomorrow. For now, I'll have to repeat a chapter. Thanks for your kind consideration. )

The next day, I woke up due to this ear-splitting sound coming from the alarm clock that stood on my side table.
Still feeling a bit drowsy over here, I stretched one arm and turned off the alarm clock while still closing my eyes. When it finally beca quiet, I turned to the other side of the bed and decided to stay like this for a while.
"Just...five...more...minutes," I said in between my yawns.
I tucked the blanket closer to as I feel myself being transported back to dreamland once again.
Then there was a knock on the door all of sudden that blocked my way towards dreamland.
"Krisella? Are you awake?! Well, you better be awake, or else I will drag you out there myself." I heard soone shout from the outside.
Hmm... who was that again? I can barely rember.
Deciding to ignore the guy, I chose to remain in my bed while pushing myself to sleep once again. But unfortunately, though, my drowsiness has finally left and I can't feel the montum of sleep any longer.
That made sit in my bed in frustration and glared at the door, like it's the door's fault for waking my senses up.
Wait... my bed?
Where am I again?
I decided to roam around my gaze in this gorgeous room to where I'm currently sleeping. It's more spacious than my bedroom back in our house was, like two rooms were combined together. Even the bed where I am currently sleeping is too big for , with its silky mattress and a thick, soft blanket to warm up.
A few monts later, I saw the door now opening up and in it revealed the kidnapper I saw yesterday morning.
Wait, so all the things that happened to yesterday are not a part of a dream? At all?
So I really have to do that... thing?
"I thought you're still sleeping." Alex folded his arms in his chest as he looked at with his cold, nonchalant eyes. "Get up and prepare for your early morning training session with Lancelot... or we'll have to kick you out of the castle."
After that, he rudely went out of the room while closing the door without even uttering a word.
Yeah, right. I rember now.
Because of desperation of finding myself a place to rest, I agreed in pretending to be the prince and master wizard of this country in exchange for giving an allowance, a roof over my head, and food to eat.
That's why I'm here in the first place.
Heaving out a sigh, I turned to look at the alarm clock and my eyes widened to know that it was still four in the freaking morning! Damn it, it's too early to torture like this.
I finally got out of my bed, fixed it a little, before taking a shower in the bathroom that is also here inside my bedroom.
Oh my gosh, I even needed a lot of courage first before I could even manage to turn on the showers and suffer in this icy cold water brought to by the early morning cold weather.
***
When I finally got out of my bedroom looking fresh, clean, and cold at the sa ti in my new set of shirt and pants... I hurriedly went to the dining room where I had agreed yesterday to et up with Lancelot and to the rest of the group.
"M-morning." I greeted while stuttering in the process. I still can't get over with that icy cold water from earlier!
"You're late." That grumpy Alex comnted.
"No. Let her be. It's okay Krisella." Lancelot shushed this... cold jerk and smiled at while motioning for to sit on his right.
"So now, let's start your training first with proper table etiquette as you take your breakfast," Lancelot explained.
By that ti, I noticed different spoons, forks, and knives laid before beside the dish of olet and rice on my plate, and a bowl of what seems to be a mushroom soup.
My brain got dizzy at the sight of it. It all looks the sa to .
"Uh, now? " I gave them a questioning look. I can't enjoy my al with all of this training!
"Are you deaf?" Alex comnted once again.
"Shush Alex..." Then Lancelot turned to . "Show how you normally eat."
I hesitated at first but I felt my tummy growling inside , so therefore I chose to give in and scooped a spoonful of rice towards my mouth.
"You're even using that spoon which is supposed to be for soup." Alex gave a bored look while the guy sitting right next to him chuckled.
"I find it amusing though," Lucas said.
As I chew the food inside my mouth, Lancelot showed the 'proper way' of eating by using the correct tablespoon, which looks bigger than the one I've used earlier and ate with grace and beauty.
I almost gaped at the sight. I've never known there is a 'proper way' of eating!
"Make sure that your hands are not lazily placed at the top of the table. So would consider it being rude in front of the food... And never, ever, yawn, in front of your guests."
I sat frozen in my place as I was about to cover my mouth and yawn.
Oh, man. I never knew being a prince requires this much hard work even in eating alone.
In the end, we spent the remaining hours teaching the 'proper way' of eating.

When it was six in the morning, I bid my farewell to the three of them since I needed to go to my first day of classes.
Before completely leaving though, they've discussed to what route I should take to prevent bystanders from seeing walking towards the castle, what are the do's and don'ts, etc...
I think my head is fully loaded already with information, to think that my classes haven't even started yet!
After successfully sneaking out of the castle, I walked my way towards my school in my inner white shirt paired with a black jumper and white sneakers to complete my look.
I was also told by my childhood friend in a letter that I will be getting a free uniform in my second week of the school year.
Wiieeee... can't wait for it!
Well, since the pay that I will be getting from being an impostor would co every 10th and 25th day of the month, and we still have 5 days left before the 10th day cos, I have to at least suffer for now by walking towards my school.
It's a good thing though the school is just a few walking distance from the castle, well that's for to judge since I'm very used to walking.
The mont I arrived in front of the well-known Gilead Academy, I can't help but marvel at the sight of these huge iron gates being opened now for students to go inside.
"Will you just stand over here?"
I snapped out of my thoughts when I heard that very familiar voice. Feeling giddy inside, I swiftly turned around and my smile widened when I saw the familiar figure of my childhood friend Dexter Woods standing behind .
"Dexter! It's good to see you!"
Not being aware of our surroundings, I imdiately surrounded him in a tight hug, which the lad didn't complain about but instead hugged back.
"It's good to see you too," he said.
Then I quickly pulled away from him.
"I miss you."
"I miss you too! It's been long since we have seen each other." I bead.
He started to walk inside the campus and so did I along with the multitude of students also entering the premises of the school.
"Yeah. So... what's new about you?" he smiled as he looked at .
I can't help but be amazed at how he changed... a lot.
From a skinny boy that I knew back when we were still living in Ziv Village, he grew up now to be a tall, fitted boy. From his nerdy look before, his thick volu of reddish hair was now styled tall with short or faded sides, which appeared to be wind-blown and a little...err...wild.
He has the sa tall, straight nose that I was so jealous about, almond-shaped royal blue eyes that never fails to fascinate minus the thick-frad glasses that he's been using before, thick clean cut eyebrows, well-defined jaw, and red divided lips.
In short, he grew up to be a man already... despite him being the sa age as . Unlike , I still wear my usual pigtails on the sides.
"Hello? Earth to Kris...are you still there?"
I regained my senses the mont Dexter started to wave his right hand in front of . Darn it, that must be so shaful of to doze off in front of my childhood friend! Now he thinks I'm a weirdo!
"Err... What did you say again?' I scratched the back of my neck in embarrassnt.
"Nothing. I see nothing has changed with you, at all." I heard him now chuckle. "You're still the sa Kris that I used to know."
I instantly flushed at what he said. "Is that... bad?"
"No...I prefer you that way." he now stopped laughing and sincerely smiled at .
So in the end, he has to walk towards my first-period class to prevent from getting lost inside the campus. He's a year above now, so there's no way I'll be sitting in class with him. That made sad though.
After he waved goodbye when we now reached my designated room, he turned his back on and started walking towards his own class. While on the other hand, I also started to turn towards my room feeling happy inside.
Except for the fact that I want to learn magic in this school, my other reason also for choosing this school among other magic institutions is the fact that my childhood friend-slash-crush is also enrolled here.
Now that I've seen him once again, I can finally say that all that running away from ho I made has finally been paid off.
But don't get wrong though.
Learning magic is still my number one priority here.
