[Hallway]
"What If I don't?"
" I will complain to the principal and get you in trouble"
"Puff!!...Hahaha! Complain? Do you know who my father is? Be grateful peasant that I myself am telling you who my father is he is the head ambassador of this school and what do you think the principal going to do to me nothing instead I can have you expelled with a mere whisper, shoo pleasant now leave my sight before I changed my mind—"
"Hey! Are you okay?"
Rina curled up, repeating 'I'm sorry' like a broken record. She seemed lost in her own world, oblivious to everything around her. The bullying had clearly taken a toll on her mental health.
As the boy tried to help her up and take her to the medic room, the noble girl snapped. She ordered her bodyguard to teach him a lesson. The bodyguard grabbed the boy's collar and sent him flying across the room.
But the boy refused to back down. He stood up, eyes blazing, and warned, 'You'll regret that.' The noble girl tried to slap him, but he caught her hand and punched her back. Her face was left bloody and bruised. Her friends watched in horror, too afraid to intervene. The boy's bold move had left them all stunned."
"SoMeOnE HeLp"
[Passed out]
[Thud]
After the noble girl collapsed, the boy let her fall to the ground. He didn't care about her anymore. Instead, he gently scooped up Rina in his arms and carried her to the Medic Room.
He held her close, trying to comfort her as she continued to whisper, 'I'm sorry.' He didn't know what she was sorry for, but he knew she needed help. He walked quickly, determined to get her the care she needed.
[MEDIC ROOM]
"Huh? Where am I? Ah my head and arms hurt"
"Ah you finally awake, you are quite a lucky one the Crown Prince himself carried you here"
"Crown Prince?"
"Yeah if he haven brought you here on time I would have been able to heal your hand and you would have lost an arm"
"I don't know how I can repay him I'm just a commoner"
"Just repay him by supporting him on this journey to becoming the king of this land"
"Okay! But first of all, I must thank him"
"Ah ah ah don't move too much your wounds haven't been here—"
(Rina falls off)
"—led yet"
The nurse helped Rina get back up to the bed and then Rina said,
"Thank you so much I'll repay your kindness someday"
"You don't need to repay me anything just stay in bed and let your wounds heal"
[ Class 3 A]
[All GOOD MORNING MISS!]
"Good morning, class! Today we have a new student joining us, who's starting school for the first time today. He's been homeschooled until now, so let's make sure he feels included. Please take a moment to say hello, introduce yourselves, and make him feel part of our class. Now Reginald come introduce yourself to the class"
[Gossips]
("Hey isn't that the guy who made a punching back out of Equiena"
"Owaa really?!"
"Yeah!")
"Hi everyone my name is Reginald Langley and I hope you all be friends with me, thank you—"
[Gossips]
("Wait did he just say Langley?"
"That's what I heard so"
"So doesn't that mean he's of royal blood?—")
"Hey, new boy, if you don't mind, can I ask you something?"
"Yes sure go on"
"Are you the one who beat up Equiena?"
"Who's that?"
"The girl with long white silvery hair and wealthy clothes "
"Ohh that girl yeah I did so what about it"
"Don't mind it, and one last question: are you of royalty?"
"Yes I'm of royalty and I am currently the crown prince of this country "
Hearing this the whole class was shocked, The boy quickly bowed to Reginald and said,
"I'm sorry Your Majesty forgive me for being rude and speaking so informally to you"
"Raise your head There is no need to be scared of me just think of me as a normal person who is studying in this school"
