Cadenza looked at her self in the mirror filled with admiration. As a young miss raised in the wealthiest family in the Zafeíri Kingdom she was spoiled to the core. Her great grandfather and father treated her as the apple of their eyes.
No one messes with her gets to live another day, she can do what she wants, what's there to be afraid of? Any person she wanted to get rid of will be pointed by a gun and will be sent to the underworld. Another reason why no one messes with this esteemed young lady is that she has never met anyone outside her family's gates.
"Chichiue I want to go to the city please~" Cadenza was tightly hugging her father and using her sweetest voice to convince her father. Heck! She was tired living in this isolated island for 16 years.
[Chichiue- means father]
Yes this esteemed young lady lives in an enormous mansion built in a private island near Titus, one of the eighth sectors, she grew up surrounded with men dressed in black, holding guns and badass looking maids with tattoos imprinted in their skins. Cadenza was raised very protectively and there's no day that she wasn't followed by a number of bodyguards.
"The last time you got out of this mansion is that you nearly got drowned in the water"
"That was an accident and someone saved me" Cadenza pouted, but remembering that incident there were countless of emotions in her heart.
"No" her father said in a stern voice.
One of the things she was good at is she knew how to make people felt guilt by manipulating and stirring emotions. But for her a simple persuasion from her will do it, Cadenza immediately lowered her head and spoke with a low voice.
"Chichiue I want to make friends with other girls my age and if you're not convinced enough just add more bodyguards to watch me, won't you even want me to go to a proper school and why does it have older brother get to live a normal life? He goes to school, has friends and go to other places, was he your favorite child" Cadenza looked at her father with puppy eyes and pouty lips.
To Bryan it was like being stabbed by an arrow a hundred times, his daughter that hated being followed by his men was actually willing to have bodyguards to watch over her just to let her go out of the mansion. To think about it, his daughter had never made friends with other girls and Cadenza has never been in a school before, for Cadenza to think that Nikolay her older brother is his favorite made his heart ache.
"Fine, but you'll be entering an all girls school"
His words were like a bomb to Cadenza, an all girls school?! No! If that happened she'll never see her Prince Charming!
"But Chichiue, I want to enter Royal Academy isn't that also the school mom used to enter" Cadenza looked at her father eagerly with full of anticipation.
Bryan couldn't take the look on his daughter and finally agreed.
Cadenza was sitting in her bed looking at herslef with a hand mirror exquisitely made out of pure gold and pink gems, it was a gift to her by her older cousin, Emeis, her aunt Charlotte's son. The door in her room was opened by an unwanted guest, her lovely sweet smile turned sour, who else could it be rather than her annoying older brother, Nikolay.
She turned her head to face her brother who was leaning on the door frame.
"What games are you playing now convincing Chichiue to enroll you to the Royal Academy?" Nikolay spoke in a cold voice.
Cadenza smirked, what else could it be rather than to see her beloved Prince Charming!!!! Nikolay was confused to see her sister lost in her thoughts. Cadenza composed herself and responded.
"I'm bored that's why, now shoo~" she flashed an innocent smile to her brother. Nikolay knew it was impossible to read his sister's thoughts so he left angrily.
Seven years ago in a banquet in the honor of the King's birthday every powerful families are invited to show up, and Cadenza that time was just a little girl fond of fairytales she insisted her father to come along to see a real life Palace. When everyone was busy, she sneakily went out to the garden to admire the flowers and there was also a man made pond filled with various colors of fishes, she tried to step on a huge rock to get a better view but unexpectedly she lost her balance and fell over. Cadenza doesn't knew how to swim and always had fear of water almost drowned but fortunately it was said that the young Prince was the one who saved her.
That time her father strictly prohibited her from going outside the mansion, but that didn't stopped Cadenza from knowing details of her Prince Charming. Where did she get the information of her Prince Charming was non other than the internet, there was actually a huge fan base of the young prince and consisted of loyal fans admiring his beautiful existence, there were pictures and infos of course and because of that she was able to know what school he was entering.
Also she got tired always seeing the same scenario in the mansion where her father and mother acting so lovely dovey and her brother's irritating face and despicable attitude.
Cadenza thought it would be a fun road trip unfortunately she was seated between Salvatore and Winston, the two people she basically grew up with, the two people who she felt like they have been glued to her since little. Winston was the son of Wilbur and Salvatore's father was Jean, their fathers are one of the people that worked in the Mafia with a high rank, the first division. The windows of the car were blocked by black cars that were filled with her bodyguards, so much for a road trip.
"I didn't expect that you two would tag along" Cadenza spoke with an annoyed tone.
"Dissapointed?" Salvatore responded with a teasing smiling "Your dad instructed us to monitor you"
"And of course we had no choice or else we'll get kicked out but luckily for you your mom told us not to mind the your father's words" Winston added still playing with his phone.
"Great" Cadenza's voice was full of sarcasm.
Finally arriving in her new house Cadenza was amazed with the modern styled mansion she would be staying. Finally a new environment, Cadenza didn't immediately went into her room but instead to the garden that was filled with Juliet roses.
She likes roses the most, they're very beautiful yet also full of thorns. It reminds her of her Hahaue's words to be able to survive in this world you have to be decisive and sly. If you don't want to be the prey then you have to be the predator, borrowing other's knife is the most cleanest way to end the enemy. Looks could be deceiving, people wears masks, not all the time what they show are real. Sometimes pretending to fall into the enemy's trap is the best strategy to deceive everyone, showing your true colors and capabilities means attracting many enemies.
It was said that Cadenza was named after her mother, it means that in music it often allows a virtousic display or only highly skilled persons could execute it.
[Author:I only shortcutted the meaning cause it's long]
Royal Academy a school only rich kids in all 8 sectors are enrolled to. The more prestigious your family the more comfortable your life in this school is. The school uniform alone is enough to cover a tuition in a private school. Cadenza looked at the expensive cars parked in the school and the lavish lifestyles of her fellow schoolmates are living.
"I'll tell you don't toy with them too much" Salvatore spoke.
Cadenza rolled her eyes, she doesn't even need to give an effort to play with them. The students' attention were drawn to the car that was surrounded by black jeeps, looks like a new student would be entering the Academy. A man dressed in black suit opened the car door and a young girl with blonde hair came out greeting everyone with a cheerful smile.
Cadenza's previous arrogant and bored expression was now replaced with a gentle and friendly expression. Everyone's heart was captured by this young lady but what made them more surprised is that she was greeted with one of the Royal Academy's heart throb,
Clemence Vasiliev, the ultimate gentleman that can make any girl swoon upon his sight, it was said that when he smiles he was like an angle that has descended from the heaven. His blonde hair and crystal blue eyes coupled with his noble aura and handsome face not to mention he is very skilled in fencing, his entire being was that of a noble knight.
To be honest he's Cadenza's second older cousin her uncle Credence's second son, also her uncle Credence was her mom's most favorite brother. Well it runs in the blood because Clemence was her most favorite cousin and his existence was more divine than her older brother.
And it seems like her cousin is a big shot in this school and has a number of girls following him why not tease them a little bit.
Cadenza gave Clemence a big hug, the girls that was standing by was shooked. Even though their knight was a gentleman he still refuses to get too close with girls! But what shocked them the most is that their knight had a warm and gentle smile.
"An angel had descended from the heavens!!"
"My knight!"
"Kyaaaa!"
Hehehe drown in jealousy girls. Cadenza smirked inwardly, but that's just the appetizer.
"Clemy~ why don't you accompany me to my classroom. After all I'm new here and I don't know much" Cadenza hugged her cousin's arm and asked in a very sweet voice.
Clemence patted Cadenza's head
"Sure"
All the boys that was standing by were also drowning in jealousy, a goddess has appeared and was snatched away like that before they could even appreciate more of her beauty.
The Royal Academy has indeed lived up to its reputation. The school is vast, very spacious and prim. Not bad for a school, but where is her Prince Charming!!
She had woke up very early in the morning and soaked herself in the tub filled with fragrant flowers to make her whole body smell nice and she even practiced her lines for her to say infront of him.
"Class S year 1, here's your room. Just find me if you need something, goodluck on your first day in school" Clemence patted Cadenza's head before leaving.
In the past Cadenza was being homeschooled with the best tutors in the mansion and she had never been in a school but now she wants to see for herself what school really is.
The teacher immediately noticed Cadenza and invited her in "I'm Cadenza Nyx Kuznetsov it's nice meeting you all"
Cadenza spoke with a polite voice and with a small smile, the students were mesmerized by her beauty even the girls couldn't help but also admire her beautiful face. She was like a goddess that emerge in their vision making their entire self being completely swallowed by her charm.
Cadenza was seated on the back, she was not disappointed but rather bored. It didn't take long before the classes have started yet Cadenza's previous enthusiasm has already been washed out of the drain.
Seriously are they learning after a children's book? After the lesson the teacher immediately gave a test, it was unexpected that Cadenza would score full marks despite being new. The impression of her classmates have also got higher. She accepted her classmates compliments with a humble attitude.
Goodness gracious she just wanted to see her Prince Charming. She already knew she was amazing so no need to rub it to her face.
The rumors of a new girl entering the Academy and had a close relationship with Clemence Vasiliev who was one of the school's heart throb has spreadout like wildfire.
"They said she was really beautiful"
"She probably isn't that beautiful"
"She dared hug Clemence in front of the school she's wishing for a death sentence!"
"Well?" a girl asked the other girl beside her.
"As the school's muse and most beautiful girl in the Royal Academy I won't be easily replaced" the girl responded with a calm yet imposing demeanour.
Nicolette Salvador the school's muse girls envy her and boys praises her. Intelligent, talented and beautiful. She came from a wealthy family in Dione, one of the eight sectors, she was born noble and also destined to die noble. It was said that her beauty was peerless compared to any girls and she had also rejected countless of love confessions.
-At the student council office-
"What do you think?" Damien spoke with a nonchalant smile. Damien Quintavious one if the school's heart throb, he was very indifferent toward the happenings around him especially gossips and rumors, he rarely gets interested in things. Damien spend most of his time playing piano, every time he plays piano he would feel like it was the only time that he could feel tranquil and be himself.
Even though he was indifferent and carefree no one would dare mess with him, his father was in command for the whole ZITA in all 8 sectors, it's an agency that was established by the royal family to monitor each sector promoting peace and security.
The one he was talking to was non other than Prince Illycht, the crown prince of the
Zafeíri Kingdom. Prince Illycht Zaffir, the most respected figure in the whole Academy because of his background bearing the Royal family's bloodline. He was also the previous and current president in the student council, intelligent, handsome, a very good leader and praised by many.
[Prince Illycht (illycht) (eeh-lych)]
"That new girl....will be no different from the rest of the girls here" he spoke coldly.
"Hmmm~ then what about your dear Vivian?" Damien responded teasingly, again with his nonchalant smile.
Prince Illycht gave Damien a glare but he seemed unaffected he immediately got bored and left, when Damien exited the door he was shocked to see Vivian carrying a lunch box tied with a piece of pink cloth.
Vivian Blanchard, 2nd year student, same grade as Prince Illycht and Damien. She came from an orphanage, no parents and no family background. She was accepted as a scholar in the Royal Academy. Vivian worked as a waitress in the love cafe near the school, before she was the target of bullying in the school especially girls but ever since Prince Illycht would came to her defense no one dares to bully her again. But Vivian would still receive numerous envious gazes and dirty looks from others.
"He's inside and in bad mood, I'm off!!" Damien ran off to his next class. Vivian gave a small giggle before entering the student council office.
-Lunch-
Ever since Cadenza entered the Academy she has been attracting many attention towards her. The school cafeteria was full of elegance and fanciness, there were butlers and maids attending to their needs.
When Cadenza entered immediately all eyes were on her. She scanned the whole cafeteria searching for Clemence but it seems like her cousin is still not here. She went into an empty table and dined alone, she was seated beside the window when the light landed on her figure she gave off an image of a living doll. Crafted from the finest materials and flawlessly made.
Extremely stunning everyone looked at her as if was drunk with her beauty. Even the girls couldn't resist her charm.
'Extremely stupid' Cadenza thought, didn't they even thought that it would be weird for someone to eat while being stared at. But on the outside she still gave them a charming smile. Cadenza was served with a fine beef steak, she didn't even like it a bit. She was an extremely picky eater and even their chefs at home should be skilled enough to make her satisfied with her food. The chefs in this school were all five star hotel chefs but to her they were all nothing but terrible cook.
Upon hearing that the new girl was in the cafeteria drawing everyone's attention, Nicolette and her minions immediately went there.
Everyone seemed to be hyped to see Nicolette, the school's muse entering with her friends. Everyone knew she was prideful and have gotten rid of any girl that has the potential of stealing her title away. Hearing footsteps coming towards her Cadenza's instincts knew it was trouble. But for her it would be interesting.
"You're the new girl?" Nicolette spoke with a hidden malice while her minions surrounded Cadenza as if they were interested in her but everyone knows Nicolette was up to no good.
Looking at everyone's expression Cadenza knew this annoying woman held a position in the Academy, feared and powerful. And it seems like anyone that messes with her ended up miserable. They wanted to play a game with her but unfortunately the winner has already been decided before it even started.
She looked at Nicolette with a shocked expression "Big sister (not really a biological sister) you look really beautiful" she gave a cheeky smile and sparkling eyes looking like a naive and innocent little girl.
Cute!!!!
"!!!!" Nicolette was caught off guard, did she just complimented her? But her compliment really made her flustered.
"I'm Cadenza and I'm new here, would pretty sister mind showing me around the campus?~" Cadenza intimately hugged Nicolette's arm, making an irresistibly cute face. The people around felt like being stabbed by thousand of knives, who would have such a heart to say no? It was like each word that comes out of her mouth was drenched with honey, extremely sweet making you crave for more. How they wished that they could just push Nicolette aside and accompany Cadenza instead.
"You sweet talker just call me Nicolette" Nicolette couldn't resist but pinch Cadenza's cheeks as if she was like a child and dragging Cadenza around the academy as if she was a child carrying her doll.
