The moment Aurora and Bea entered the classroom, every single pair of eyes stared towards them. It wasn’t a welcoming stare. Nor even a curious stare. Rather, it was filled with hostility.
And Aurora knew why.
She wasn’t depressed or scared due to this known hostility directed towards her. Instead, she felt it was interesting. Aurora wondered how much chaos she would stir during her stay here.
It’s too bad that her opponents were little children, 15 years her junior, but this was just the start.
And her targets?
A member of the student council for the first years, Princess Estelle De Lyn Ignis...
And.
Aurora’s eyes moved towards one of the ladies.
Griselda Enlil, the only daughter of Marquis Enlil. The one who poured the tea on Aurora at the banquet.
‘Everything will start with you, dear Griselda.’
When seeing Aurora’s expression, the entire classroom nearly froze. The hostility from earlier disappeared like a puff of smoke. The students involuntarily shivered due to heavy aura. It was as if they were standing in front of His Grace, the Duke of Rizar.
No….
That expression…was a little more……abnormal…
It made them want to run away.
Of course, there was always one ignorant person.
“Y-you!!! You are----!! Why are you heeeeere?!!!” A female’s voice shrieked across the class, maybe even reaching the room next door.
Aurora glanced at the girl pointing her finger at her.
‘Ah, right. There is her as well.’
Yulia Vel Nolbeia.
Aurora put on a sweet smile, making Yulia flinch back in awareness.
“Nice to meet everyone.” Aurora gracefully lifted the corners of her skirt. “My name is Aurora Isla. While I am but a humble daughter of a low noble, I looked forward to studying with all of you, albeit for a short duration.”
“Ah!” Aurora quickly moved towards the back of the class. "If it isn't Lady Griselda, who I had the pleasure of meeting at the banquet a few days ago?!” Aurora grabbed both of Griselda’s hands and brightly laughed. “What a coincidence that we were able to meet again in the same class!! Let us get along from here on out, okay?”
“Eh? Um…” Griselda blushed a deep red at this beautiful lady who suddenly approached her.
“Yes?” With her bright green eyes and lovely smile, Aurora continued to put on a cheerful act.
“Ah…yes…” Griselda nodded her head.
Forgetting that she was the center of trouble at the banquet, she could only act bashfully around Aurora. She clearly remembered the strong young girl who stood up against Yulia, despite having a lower status than her. It was as though she was the goddess of war and justice.

Seeing this, Yulia clenched her fists in anger.
However, the students were all taken aback by the sudden change in Aurora’s personality.
“ “ “ “ “W-what’s going on!” ” ” ” ”
But fortunately, the scary aura that pressured them earlier disappeared. Maybe they were just imagining things?
The only person who looked on with a straight face was Princess Estelle, who had a bad feeling about the Duke’s fiancée.
“What’s happening??” Tristian whispered to the Princess. “Is that her real character? She didn’t give off that impression though…”
Estelle shook her head. “When we entered the class, you sensed the hostility from everyone too, right?" Her eyebrows furrowed in thought. "They even tried comforting me, saying that I should not take her words to heart."
“That’s right!” Tristian nodded his head in agreement. “After all, she treated the kind and caring Princess Estelle in such a manner. And you are also the President of the Student Council despite being a first-year student. Everyone treasures and respects you, Princess.”
“And yet, I think she let them hear her on purpose.”
“…What?”
“I think she intentionally left the door to the classroom open."
Tristian, who was standing next to Princess Estelle, shut his mouth and chuckled. “You’re overthinking things, Princess. Even if you're right, for what reason?”
Estelle's brows scrunched as she thought about it. “I wonder. But in such a short while, she changed their outlook towards her.”
It was as though she wanted everyone to think they didn’t get along with each other.
But…why…?
In the first place, there wasn't any benefit in angering a Princess from one of the Neutral Kingdoms. Especially since this can give the Kingdoms a reason to attack the Empire. And Estelle had a feeling that Lady Isla wasn't the type of person to do such a reckless thing without reason.
Can it be...
It's no secret that the Princess came to the Epheria Empire to search for a husband, but there was one rumor that caught the attention of the ladies. That the reason Princess Estelle decided to live in Elran City instead of attending the academy at the Imperial City was to seek the Duke of Rizar's hand in marriage.
While this wasn't her attention at all, her father, the King, had other intentions.
What lady would be pleased at having another woman target her fiancé? It must be why she showed such hostility towards her, despite it being their first meeting.
Right?
The Princess frowned.
Still, she felt she was missing something.
For the first time since arriving at the Epheria Empire, Princess Estelle De Lyn Ignis, was left baffled.
She was unable to see through this person.
