"Lady Feliste ,Are you going to visit The 'Blossom Hollow' Garden today?"
"Yes , get ready after the class "
"Yes, Lady Feliste . So Lady Feliste what happened yesterday…"
Livia lingered in the Solar Crown Class room a few moments , making pointless conversation with Madline . It was Livia's daily routine— finding new things to talk about was a chore . But what could she do? Missing it was not an option . Madline would barely listen but if she skipped one day of her daily chatter or morning greetings she would get angry.
'How did even 'Livia' managed to do this everyday without getting tired of it?'-she asked herself.
As students began to filter in, Livia managed to excuse herself but unfortunately Livia bumped into 'them' at the door.
"Ah, Good morning Master Alexi , Master Ian ."
ALEXI MELVIEW and IAN ASHWOOD. The male lead and the leading supporting Character- who would do anything for his bestfriends. Yes , Alexi , Ian and Madeline are childhood bestfriends .Though Ian become their friend after Lady Feliste and Alexi become engaged .
Alexi Melview had tousled black hair, sharp features but his droopy green eyes made him look a bit softer .
Ian Ashwood was the opposite he stood beside Alexi with a quite statuesque grace, the light spilling over the pale silver of his tousled hair . His eyes —sharp and molten golden, he held a gaze of both aloof and yet unyielding. The corners of his lips were perpetually curved into a faint smile.
They both were beautiful ,absurdly so . In any case both possessed the look of "Male Leads " in a RoFan.
"The weather is great today" Livia said quickly snapping back , masking her nerves .
" It makes me want to take scroll to the Glassmere Lake"
She racked her brain, digging through 'Livia's' memories to remember how the original had acted around them. As a loyal shadow of Madline .They'd known each other for years.
Not that it mattered.
The two boys gave her little more than a glance—polite, indifferent, distant.
"...."
"..."
"..."
Soon an awkward silence fell around three of them. A not so unfamiliar situation for 'Livia'.
Alexi was the type to ignore anyone who he wasn't interested in .At his worst, he wouldn't even remember people's faces, and that was precisely the case with Liva . Even the novel readers gave him a wired name because of his this nature .
'Not that I cared..'
On the other hand Ian wasn't that bad, but he had no reason to be interested in Livia either. He probably remembered her as nothing more than 'that girl who follows Feliste around'. No, it was definitely that.
It seemed the original Livia had lived her life quietly enduring their cold treatment, but the current Livia wasn't made of such patience.
Their gazes, distant and empty—as if she were no more than dust in the air—bored into her. The silence stretched, heavy and suffocating.
She couldn't take it any longer.
"Well then, I'll be on my way. Have a good day."
"…Yeah. See you."
Ashwood responded last , his voice light but indifferent . Livia gave them one more polite nod and left the Solar Crown Classroom.
The moment the door closed behind her, the weight lifted. She exhaled sharply, pressing a hand to her chest to calm her racing heart.
———
Alexi, Ian and Madline, all three of them were from grand ducal family and Alexi's mother was a royal Princess. so in that sense Alexi, as royal blood flowing through his vein had the the right to inherit the throne.
She couldn't help but feel a certain way about Madline, being closely tied together with their family. But to be honest, if Livia could, she wanted nothing to do with any three of them. Especially those two guys.
Whenever 'Livia' in the novel got involved with it resulted with something bad. And she had a feeling that it is true in reality also.
"Ha..."
'It would be great if we could just stay in our separate ways'
'Though it is sad that they can't even remember of someone they are seeing for years'

Livia quitely entered her classroom and sat in her usual seat, preparing for the class.
Most of the subjects taught at the academy were etiquette , magic and history about this and other continents . Because she had previous 'Livia's ' memories , she didn't have to struggle that much with the classes .
But the problem lays elsewhere , The previous 'Livia' was not good with studies . To say not good with studies was wrong , because all the subjects results were below B- or C. And not only that, her magic capacity were below average .
'I know she was far too gone but … isn't it just too much? How can someone be so incompetent?'
'There isn't a single decent thing about her... sigh!'
"Hey, Scorch"
Just then ,a unwelcomed guest came near her desk —Benjamin Hans.
' And here comes the trouble'
" What are you doing , scorch?
Although Hans didn't make any direct appearances in the novel, he was the most hateful character to Livia.
Scorch.
It was a humiliating nickname given to Livia Maren because of her hair colour and another thing . Because Scorch literally means Violent burn
"What is it? What do you want?"—she asked curtly.
"Nothing ,just saying hello"
If you're done saying hello, why don't you go back to your seat. The class is about to start."
"Oww..Since when did you start being serious about classes? Don't be like that, we shouldn't be so harsh like that to fellow Caelith."
"Ha" - She scoffed
"And since when did we become so close to talk about Caeliths? Aren't you disgusted? "
Caelith.
A Caelith meaning sky's light. It was a honorary title that grants you to enter captial. Originally it was given to those who did significant contribution to the empire.
But If you don't have a Caelith then no matter what position you held, you can't get the entry of capital. In truth it is used to refer to the nobles who lives in the Capital of Valeholm.
However, its meaning had gradually shifted and evolved over time. For example the Maren family, they got their Calelith medal through Feliste family's recommendations.
In short, Han and Livia had enter the Academy through their Calelith position and the rest of the students had paid a hefty sum of money to enroll in the academy.
"Phahaha.." Hans pretend to laugh at Livia's words.
"Of course. I'm disgusted. But as Caleliths we have to set example for others " - He said with a nasty grin on his face.
"What? Did your parents told you that since Lioren isn't coming to the academy you should stick to me" - She said with a smirk.
"You-.."
Fortunately at that moment their homeroom teacher entered the classroom before he could say something
