Sheila: wait! Please pick your head back up I really don’t mind talking to you face to face
Rose: but I cant, being around you is the greatest honor even as a royal
Akumo: I guess you haven’t had much friends
Sheila: please stop I know I’m from a noble family but that doesn’t matter anymore I’ve been banished by my family so I’m just an ordinary person
Rose: banished?!
Akumo: how long are you going to keep me down here?
Sheila: it’s a long story
*akumo is set free and rose gets up*
Hayami: so she’s from a noble family? That’s bizarre I wonder how she ended up meeting akumo?
Akumo: anyways what’s up I’d thought royals go to fancy stores
Rose: oh please this place will never be a option to buy clothing however when it comes to the food they have some of the freshest food around so I’m here to buy some for my mama here are some apples I’m feeling generous to feed the poor
Akumo: aww thanks!
Rose: and for you ma’am I’ll be honored to buy you anything you want!
Sheila: you don’t have too!
Rose: then I’ll take my leave Tata!
Akumo: I like her! So you’re a royal huh?
Sheila: I’m sorry!! I should’ve told you sooner but I was afraid you wouldn’t treat me the same
Akumo: I don’t care what you are you’re a awesome person Sheila even though you were banished by your own family
Sheila: well it was my fault from the start
Akumo: how is it your fault?
Sheila: its because in a family of nobles I was born with little to no magic
*flashback a woman gave birth to sheila but were set into a rage of her little magic power*
Man: what is this?! This child has no magic at all!!
Butler: maybe she might be a late bloomer sir
Man: you might be right
Woman: Let’s hope she is I don’t want to have to disown my own daughter
Sheila: even after a few years of being born my magic never grew and my family began to notice so they start treating me like I was nothing but a bug
*panels of Sheila eating on the ground and not on the table, sleeping in a storage room, and being abused by her parents*
Mom: u disgusting child!!
Lil Sheila: sorry!
Mom: well I don’t accept your apology!
Dad: if only you weren’t a defect maybe you would have been treated like an actual daughter but your nothing just like a peasant!!
This story has been stolen from Royal Road. If you read it on Amazon, please report it
Sheila: they weren’t the only ones who kept tormenting me, I have a sister who bullied and assault me every chance she gets
Sister: come on fight back using your “magic" oh wait you can’t!! Hahaha!!
Sheila: everyone treated me as an outcast but one man, luckily I was assigned a butler yet he was old but I didn’t care he changed my world! He raised me, taught me how to read and write, he’s the only man who genuinely cared for me but eventually the nobles hatred towards me grew bigger and when the noble marriage ceremony began a boy the son of an emperor chose me as their wife but I rejected and was even treated worse my family banished me and said if I were to return they would kill me so right now I’m living with my butler in a apartment he payed for a 12 months rent
*a tear drops from Sheila’s face and an angered akumo breaks a large crate*
Sheila: akumo….
Akumo: sheila your family are scum and when you get accepted to our school you will prove to your family that you’re no weakling!!
*sheila is surprised*
Sheila: someone like me can never enter a school like that I couldn’t even enter the south district academy
Akumo: oh come on I know you’re weak but don’t pull yourself down too much have faith and also there’s a south district academy too?!
Sheila: yes but everyone there are from a royal or noble family and look down on all the representing school districts
Akumo: oh! I wonder what the emperor from the south handles people like them?
Sheila: its not the emperor who keeps them in check…
Akumo: what you say?
Sheila: what? Nothing let’s just keep walking!
*they reach a park and the sun begins to set*
Sheila: today was super fun!
Akumo: right! And it’s only the beginning once we gather everyone we’re going to have a blast!
Sheila: everyone?
Akumo: I want to make a lot of friends and you happened to be my nicest friend I’ve ever had and I’m grateful for that!!
*sheila blushes and hayami appears behind them*
Hayami: what is that supposed to mean?!
*sheila is startled*
Sheila: president?! Where did you come from?
Hayami: I was just nearby when I saw you and akumo! What do you mean by what you said earlier? I am nice!!
Akumo: not to me you’re not
Hayami: I am too!
Akumo: tell me one nice thing you did for me?
*hayami stays silent*
Hayami: well I don’t know
Akumo: yeah I don’t either also you shouldn’t be stalking people all day it’s creepy
Hayami: (he knew?!)
Akumo: anyways it’s getting late in today was fun lets do it again some time and you should come with us president
Hayami: as if…
*Akumo waves goodbye*
Sheila: you two seem really close
Hayami: what?! No!
Sheila: you’re lucky to have someone like akumo
Hayami: he isn’t all that great…. Anyways sorry but I over heard your story earlier and I’m sorry you went through all that
Sheila: its okay really I’m fine now
Hayami: I’ll talk to the administrators in our school and help you get into the north district academy
Sheila: what?!
Hayami: sheila? Right? My name is hayami utsumi and in our school you will have a people who accept you for who you are and I’ll be thankful if you can have me as a friend as well
Sheila: yes thank your president
Hayami: just call me hayami
Sheila: ok hayami! So did you know akumo from a month ago? When you took back the school?!
Hayami: well I did meet him before that, way before
Sheila: wow really when?!
Hayami: oh we were just kids and we just happened to live near each other
Sheila: oh wow! I wondered what he was like back then, anyways I better call grandpa and tell gin I’m on my way home
*sheila calls the butler but he doesn’t answer*
Sheila: he almost never picks up
Hayami: if you want you can spend the night in my house, but if you don’t want to it fine!
Sheila: yes please!! It would be my first ever sleep over and it’s someone I know I can trust!!
Hayami: even though you just met me?
Sheila: I trust akumo and any friend of his I will trust too!
Hayami: (right, when I met him, way before we took back the school we were just kids and he was alone) alright lets get to know each other better
Sheila: yes!

Girl: the moon is bright tonight…
