The Reincarnated Daughter Of The Cold Emperor

Chapter XXVIII

The academy grounds were bubbling with students of all faces, heights and genders

It seemed that all eyes were on us, perhaps it was because of the large royal logo that was on our carriage

Their gazes made me feel nervous, but luckily Allycia and Claira were there to calm me down

How I wish I could be as socially capable as them...

Oh, something seems different about their uniforms though?

[ "Allycia, Claira, why is it that majority of the students wear plain white bows, but ours are gold with a ruby in the middle?" ]

The pair looked shocked at my inquire

[ "Oh you don't know, our bows are what separate the classes" ]

Replies Allycia

[ "Plain white are students that are of children of merchants, commoners, knights and low ranking nobles" ]

[ "The gold with ruby are the children of ministers, high ranking nobles and royalty" ]

Claira continues

Oh so this school had such a system? I guess even here you can't escape the social hierarchy

[ "Come, let's go Cadence~" ]

[ "A-alright" ]

I follow the twins who somehow seem to know there way quite well

We're walking through a hallway, when I suddenly crash into a girl, ultimately causing us both to tumble down

Since it was the corner we were both unaware of the other's precense

The girl looked to be around the same age as us and had a very fierce and strong beauty with her
dark red curls and sharp eyes

Her face and features reminded me greatly of the third wife, but it couldn't be one of the princess's

If I recall correctly, none of the children in the royal family have dark hair or red for that matter

Her ribbon is the same as mine meaning that she must hold some sort of high rank

Allycia and Claira both help me up from the ground

[ "You- how dare you bump into me!" ]

The girl shouts at me

I can tell that Claira and Allycia are both annoyed with her attitude and words

They seem like they're about to say something but I stop them and give them an "I'm fine" look

[ "I-I'm terribly sorry, it was an accident..." ]

I apologize meekly

Great, the first day and I am already caught up in girl conflict...

The twins seemed unable to stay quiet as they in the end did say something

[ "Pardon me, but you are Miss Antanelle Astorn correct? I recognise your face from a few social gatherings" ]

Although the twins are smiling, they're clearly giving off a very hostile look

It's the first time I've seen them like this and somehow it's a bit... cool...

[ "Hmph, and who are you?" ]

Antanelle replies with a haughty look

This just seems to fume the anger of the twins

[ "My name is Allycia Vanair, this is my younger twin sister Claira" ]

Her words seem to bring a shock to Antanelle, but it quickly transforms to a sneer and taunting smirk

[ "You're the prime ministers daughters? Hmph and what of it? My father is an arch duke, I am of no less status than you two" ]

To my suprise the twins giggle joyfully in response

[ "Indeed we are, but is it not a bit improper to speak to the Princess like that?" ]

Claira replies gracefully

Antanelles eyes narrow as she crosses her arm

[ "H-hey Allycia, Claira it's alright so can we please go..?" ]

I tug their sleeves and ask timidly

I don't want to make enemies on the first day of school!

The twins sense my fear and let out a sigh

[ "Okay, let us head off then. Farewell, Miss Antanelle" ]

Without waiting for a response, the twins drag me right past her

Phew, finally that confrontation is over...

I pray that the rest of the day runs through smoothly...
