Chapter 36 - 10 Million!?
Chapter 36 - 10 Million!?
"Hahaha! Yuki! You are too much! Hahaha!" Trisha was laughing so hard. She could not keep it in any longer. The image she was supposed to uphold as a princess of the Evergreen family was nowhere to be seen. But she was not alone in this since Dean Chen was also covering his mouth as he laughed as well.
"Hmm? I was just saying she doesn't seem very bright. Why else would she be so stupid to insult a royal?" Yuki gave an innocent look as she said this. But deep inside, she was actually laughing as well. After holding back all her emotions towards these kinds of people, she was finally able to dish out a bit of revenge. Like how she disliked how Trisha acted before with the snotty stuck up attitude, she hated people like Claudia even more. Fake from the ground up. At least Trisha had a reason to act how she did. Her real personality was very likable and cute.
"Anyway, things should be settled now, right?" Yuki asked. "I hit your daughter for good reason. We can leave insulting a royal as is, and no one will be none the wiser. Is this okay with you, Trisha?" Yuki asked. She was already missing a lesson, which she would now need to get all the notes for. There was no way she wanted to miss more.
"As long as Yuki thinks it is fine, I am fine with it. Baron Briggs, I know you look down on me as many do, but please remind your family that I am a royal and that the Evergreen family's blood runs through my veins. I do not like using their name, but if I have to, I will. Oh, and one more thing, if anything happens to Yuki after this, even if he loses a hair on his head. I will look for you first to give me an explanation. I hope you understand what I mean?" Trisha's gaze fell on Claudia, who was glaring at Yuki only to quickly retract her gaze.
Baron Briggs looked over at his daughter and snorted: "Don't worry. From this moment on, you will not even see her in this college anymore. I will be sending her to another college far from here." Baron Briggs knew his daughter well. He had spoiled her too much. He would not have cared if he was dealing with a lowly commoner, he would then use his status to get his way this time, she had really screwed up.
"Then that would be for the best. Dean Chen, if there is nothing left, Yuki and I are missing our lectures, so if you do not mind?" Trisha asked politely. Her words and manners showed just how much training she has undergone as someone with the status of a princess. Everything she was taught was only so she would not cause the Evergreen family to look bad in the eyes of outsiders.
"Ahem…. Yes, this is fine. Princess… Yuki… You both may leave. Baron Briggs, I will handle the transfer papers for you later. Please have your people send me the college information you send her to next." Dean Chen then sent everyone off. After they all left and he closed the door, he walked over to his computer and looked up Chisaka Yuki. "Hmm? He was a girl!? Haha! So that is how it is! No wonder the Princess was fine with being so close to her. Haha! The entire time I could have sworn that she was a he. They even kept saying he as well. But this person… Killed in self defense to try to save a friend. I remember now… She was part of that incident a few days ago. Luckily it seems it didn't affect her much. She is a good kid with good grades. The Princess has found a good companion."
Out in the hall, Yuki and Trisha walked side by side. "Thankfully, that worked out well."
"Yuki, I knew from the start that you had a poisonous tongue since I have suffered under it as well, but back there, when you told the baron his daughter was slow, I almost died laughing. That was just too much." Trisha said as she held on to Yuki's arm as they walked back to their class which was now half over.
When they walked into the room with arms linked, more gossip quickly spread throughout the campus grounds. Mainly about how the cute boy and Princess are in a lovey dovey relationship. This, of course, was something they would only find out about later. After classes for the day, Trisha let out a depressed sigh. "Yuki, will you meet me at the same time tomorrow morning?"
"Mm… I always come that early because my apartment doesn't have a shower, unfortunately." Yuki answered. Although she had the money to get a new place, she had already paid 2 years' worth of rent she did not want to waste or ask back since Tina was so good to her.
Trisha smiled and excitedly said: "Then I will see you in the morning! I have to hurry and go. Oh! Do you have a phone by chance?"
"Hmm? Yeah, I got one yesterday, one second." Yuki had almost forgotten she had gotten a phone. It was just sitting in her bag. She dug through it and pulled it out. When Trisha saw it, her eyes grew wide because it was the latest model that was not cheap at all! She was curious as to how Yuki could afford it, but she decided to hold her tongue. " I will register your bio data into it as well in case anything happens. This way, you can use it if you need to in the future."
"Yeah, register with mine as well!" Trisha was very happy. She made her first friend and was now even exchanging numbers and bio data so they can share their things. This was what friends were supposed to be like.
After exchanging numbers and registering each other on their phones, the two parted ways. Yuki looked up at the orange sky between the tall buildings and flying cars and let out a long breath that caused a puff of fog to form. "It has been a strange day, but it was not bad. Having someone to talk to at college is nice."
Yuki splurged and bought a hot meal to go that had everything from meat to vegetables. Although all these things were now all lab grown, it was even healthier for you than the stuff from the past. She also stopped off at a clothing store to get some comfortable clothing for nighttime. Specifically, a long shirt that went to her thighs and a pack of comfortable panties.
Yuki got home around 5 in the afternoon and did her normal routine. She then stripped down and put on fresh new clothes for the first time in a long time. Being able to walk around her apartment in loungewear like this was an amazing feeling for her. In the past, she could never do this, and she had dreamed of doing it for a long time. Being able to walk around barefooted with her legs exposed felt very relaxing. "In the future, I want an apartment with a big bathtub!" Yuki mumbled as she sat in front of her laptop and opened the forums. She scrolled around a bit munching on her dried meat snack until she finally spotted a thread. She stared at her screen in disbelief. Even the strip of dried meat she had in her mouth fell into her lap. "This Tradskiller guy wants to buy my potion recipe for 10 million crowns!?"
