Fake Princess
CHAPTER 153
I look at him. After everything we've been through, it turns out that it's still not good enough for some nobles? “ Do they think who else deserves the job?”I asked confusedly. “ Your closest relatives are second and third cousins—that means they have the same right to the throne. There will be chaos if they try to choose one of them, not to mention very silly. You're the princess, the real one.”
Bella flicked her shoulder. “ That's what queen— keeps sayingI mean—ibuku.” That sooner or later they'll realize it, because I'm the real princess and deserve to be queen. To be honest, I don't feel that way. But I guess maybe I'll feel that way, someday, if you help me.”
“ And after?” I asked grimly. “ You won't need me forever. After that I will remain in this position, without a plan.”
A sly expression emanated on Bella's face. “ I've thought about it. As we talked about, on the road. There is something wrong here, in Thorvaldor, behind everything that is right. Many people have no chance to change their lives. People like my grandmother, and us. And I've been pondering, maybe this, all this, maybe this happened for me to know.

“ No,” I replied, as I said on the way. “ I don't think it's ridiculous.”
Bella sighed, as if a weight had just been lifted from her body, then said, “ Anyway, that's what I was thinking. Meanwhile, after I knew what to do, I thought there was someone like you. People who are too poor to be accepted into the witch's campus, but they have magic. They need their own school. Of course, someone has to manage it. If you've learned enough from Paula.”.
The price to pay is high, and even higher for some people. But looking at Bella, I felt sure of one thing.
Whatever the price, I made the right choice.
“ Alright,”. “ I'll do it.”
Bella grinned back at me and jumped up. “ Good. But now I have to go. I had to threaten to demote the guards to let me out the gate by myself. Then you'll come tomorrow?”
I feel limp. Strange how quickly things can change. That morning I was confused, unsure of my way of life. But now I have a path, a way to do the skills that have been taught to me, to help Thorvaldor. “ I can come now,” I said. “ Currently Paula doesn't need me. I can tell him about our conversation and—“
