The Peace In A Beautiful World
Chapter 5: Opening of the Academy Entrance Examination

After that, I saw young master Enzo approaching Prince Charles and Princess Chloe.

"Hail Prince & Princess, it's an honor to meet you both here" Enzo said as he bowed and placed his right hand on his left chest as a form of respect.

"Enzo huh ? it's not necessary to be too formal, after all, now we're not at a royal event. Right now we are both test takers at San Fulgen Akademiya" Prince Charles said, telling Enzo not to bow again.

"All right, Prince," said Enzo.

After Enzo's greeting, the, many participants who are the children of other nobles approached Prince Charles and Princess Chloe to pay respects to Prince Charles also told to end this honor because this is not at the royal event. Among the many nobles who approached Prince Charles and Princess Chloe, I did not see Princess Irene. I looked around to look for her whereabouts, and she was still leaning against the wall quietly. He looked towards the crowd that swarmed Prince Charles and Princess Chloe, but did not approach him. I'm still wondering what he's thinking. I used my skills again to him, but again his mind was empty like he was not thinking anything or maybe the mind reading skill could not read his mind. After I read her thoughts, Princess Irene turned her head back towards me. There was no expression on his face, just like when he first arrived here, none of him had any expression. I bowed back as Princess Irene turned to me as a form of respect.

"I'm so sure if Princess Irene knows if her mind is being read, where might she react 2 times by looking at me after her mind is read if she doesn't know, or maybe just a coincidence ? but what could happen 2 times?" I thought.

"Hello, Princess Irene" said someone who turned out to be Prince Charles.

He had already left from the crowd that swarmed him and approached Princess Irene. "How are you?" asked Prince Charles.

Princess Irene, who was looking at me, turned to Prince Charles and Princess Chloe who approached her.

"I'm fine, Prince, Princess. If no one wants to ask again then I'll excuse you first" Princess Irene said as she bowed respectfully and went elsewhere.

"As usual, he didn't seem familiar and just left as I greeted him," Prince Charles said slightly disappointed.

"Already brother. Maybe he doesn't like crowds and hospitality" said Princess Chloe.

"Maybe so, well the nature of people is different. We don't have to force him to get along with us" Prince Charles continued.

"The prince was very kind, even he understood the circumstances of others if there were people who would not accept his hospitality. As for Princess Irene, does she hate the Prince ? until you go away so. Hmm but I don't think it's just the Prince, from the beginning he was like standing alone away from the crowd. Well it looks like he has his own problems," I thought to myself.

"The nobles over it are really horrendous every time they come, making me not focus on reading," said the male participant who dariitadi sitting next to me.

"You're also distracted, right ? I also saw that you were focusing on reading the book before they were all excited because of the arrival of the upper nobles" he continued.

The upper nobleman by which he was referring may be a noble with the post of Marquess upwards (Marquess > Duke > King/Queen).

"Not really, it was the first experience I could see nobles like them" I said.

"I see, if I've seen them because I've been traveling to the Capital since I was a child, I sometimes see them traveling around the Capital. Especially for the ice princess, I've often met with her because we are from the same area" he continued.

"You're from San Lucia too?" I asked him. "Yes, but I'm not from the city of San Lucia. I come from Piana village. In addition to the Capital, I also often travel to the city of San Lucia to sell livestock products with my father. That's where I often met the Ice Princess who was traveling around with her assistant" he said.

"He sometimes shopped or looked around the city, Even when shopping he did not put on any expression, just flat and looked cold. That was why she was known as the Ice Princess because of her cold expression. But I asked the people of San Lucia about their impression of the Ice Princess. They said that even though Princess Irene always expressed cold expression, Princess Irene never acted arbitrarily or demeaningly to others. Their impression of the Ice Princess was good and they justified the Ice Princess's cold expression as one of her traits that may have existed from birth and was difficult to change" he continued.

"I see, so Princess Irene was a good noble, even though her expression was always cold" I said.

"Ah by the way, other than her cold expression. The reason why she was called the Ice Princess was because she was a great ice magic user. The San Lucia family is known as a family that inherited ice magic by generations. So their families are all ice magic users" he continued.

"Ice magic, huh ? Ice magic is an advanced magic of water magic, not everyone can use advanced magic from basic magic. It was no wonder that the San Lucia family belonged to the strongest family in this kingdom. Moreover, the head of their family got the position as Duke who was in charge of helping Her Majesty the Queen directly," I was surprised.

"That's right, the 4 noble families whose head of the family earned the title of Duke, it's no mistake that they are the strongest families in this kingdom other than the family of Her Majesty the Queen herself," he said in response to me.

"By the way, you know also yes about advanced magic, do you like to read books about magic?," he asked me.

"That's right, in the house of my late grandfather a lot of books and one of them is a book about magic, I like to read books with grandfather," I replied.

"Oh yeah, it looks like we have the same hobby. By the way where did you come from?," he asked me again.

"I come from the village of Aston, which is in the province of San Minerva in the south of the kingdom" I replied.

"San Minerva yes, from what I heard the son of Duke San of Minerva is also in this academy, but he's a student of the previous generation" he said.

"By the way, we've talked a lot of daritadi stuff but somehow I kind of forgot something but what yes?," he said confused.

He thought hard until he finally found out what he had forgotten.

"Owh yes names, we have not introduced each other's names yet" he said after thinking.

"Owh yeah, I don't think either, my name is Rid, Rid Archie, you just call me Rid" I said.

"My name is Noa, Noa Sigisbert. You can call me Noa, say hello to Rid" he said, extending a hand to me.

"Greetings also know Noa," I said as I reached out as well.

After the meeting we shook hands.

-

Not felt after the excitement because of the arrival of Prince Charles and Princess Chloe earlier and my chat with Noa, the time has shown at half 10. A man came up to us and spoke,

"Please note, my name is Alan Hugo. I am one of the teachers at San Fulgen Akademiya and also one of the supervisors who will oversee your entrance tests. Earlier I thanked the participants who received an invitation from our academy either from the kingdom of San Fulgen or who came from outside the kingdom and also thank the participants who have been ready-to-wait. No need to linger, San Fulgen Akademiya Entrance Test in 1217 with this we declare it starts!!," he said.

-

And finally, the Entrance Test for the number one academy in this kingdom had finally begun.
