All Chapters of The Crown Prince Thinks I'm a Guy: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

I sighed, sliding down low on my seat. My mind was still trying to process the words I had just heard."What?" Eva asked from her desk, her hands clamped together under her chin.Since she was no longer the head assassin in record, I had to meet her in her own quarters, which was a long way away from the trainee's sleeping area and study rooms. Actually, didn't I specifically have it hard since I had to transfer rooms a lot? I had combat, dark magic, and basic organizational history training inside the apprentice study area, but I still had to go back to the outer trainee area for general studies. Not to mention, my own bedroom was even farther out if I came from the inner parts of the Order. But, it's not like I still didn't know my way around the twisting hallways, but... I'd say I could still easily lose my bearings if I don't maintain my focus..."I almost got lost again," I muttered, trying to hide my disappointment from my voice.Her thin eyes squin

The sounds from the ground level were different from the hustle and bustle of Malaya, but sitting still in the middle of the forest, I could almost imagine the insect's buzzing to be the mating calls of fire bugs, and the cacophony from the crunching of leaves and branches could almost be the loud noises from the strong, highborn winds clashing across the Malayan magical barrier.But, I was a long way away from the floating Isle, and the sunsets came later than they did from up high. I hummed a tune, but I have never felt more alone."Therion!" the boy shouted out from behind the dense foliage. "Come back here when you're done answerin' the call of nature! Ma and Da are callin' for ya!"I smiled a bit. Well, maybe I wasn't so alone.A few days ago, I had been a trainee of the Order, and more months ago, I had been the apprentice for an old man and a student of a voluminous magician, and more than a year ago now, I was the first princess of a formidable ki

"Do you trust me?" I screamed at the shaking boy beside me. My feet were tingling with excitement and my heart seemed ready to burst out of my body at any moment."No!" he replied, gripping so hard at my arms. He kept looking down at the ground far, far below us. "I don't! I don't! I don't!""Well..." I shrugged, grabbed him by his shirt, and thought, 'Too bad, then.'I jumped, dragging him down with me."AaaaaAAAAAHHHHHH!!!""Wooo-yaAAHHHHHHH!!!"And just as we were about to collide on the humped backs of the Cameliphantus, its blowhole opened just in time and out came a gust of hot air. The updraft bounced us up and into a temporary stop, afloat for all to see. I was able to wave at a gaping child in the middle of the heavy crowds, him tugging at the sleeves of his maid, pointing up at us in disbelief. Well, while I waved and smiled back in midair, my companion wasn't having as much fun as I was."Th-The wind's dying down! Therion,

For a while now, a little, red demon has been glaring at me. I was skipping along the city streets, enjoying the refreshingly cool, morning breeze. I let out a satisfied sound. "Ahh~ I'm so full! Aunt Tabitha, you definitely chose a great restaurant!""Of course!" the woman replied with gusto. "I know these streets and their best places like the back of my hand!"Especially since we were now enveloped in such a pleasing atmosphere, I tried my best not to be too bothered by the red demon, who had now started to growl audibly. However, I thought that maybe I could appease it a little, so I peered down at its crouching form. It was festering in its own grumpiness. Holding out a cautious hand, I poked at its pinkish cheeks.It screamed. "Gah! Don't go annoying me more, ya bastard!"Immediately, this little demon was hit on the head by a much bigger demon. "Watch yar language, son! We didun raise ya to go sproutin' out such grody words!"I flinched as I

After Tabitha had invited their visitors inside, a short party ensued. It came by like a flood that we weren't even able to ask our questions."Congratulations on passing, Monty!" the young girl jumped and then ruffled his red hair. My friend sputtered out a few incoherent replies, but I was able to deduce that she was his childhood friend. Then, she found me looking at her. Her mouth formed slowly into an "O"."I-I'm terribly sorry. I haven't introduced myself yet, haven't I?" She immediately blushed in embarrassment and bowed deeply in my direction. "I'm called Lara, the child of a farmer back in Hirthy  Town. Please pardon my brash behavior towards my friend... I mean, my benefactor, the innkeeper's son."Suddenly, the atmosphere dropped around us. Even some of the adults glanced nervously or distastefully in our direction. I noticed how one of the men clicked his tongue at Lara. Sensing the declining mood, I immediately laughed it off and said, "Oh, no
