Chapter 1: Life as a Princess.
*Celia’s POV*
After the initial shock of me being a Princess was over, my life went quite well. It’s been two years since then, though, not much has really changed. Nia and Lia are still with me, and they still even sleep with me on the same bed. Though, we haven’t progressed to anything more intimate than just kissing.
We haven’t got married yet, either. This time, it actually wasn’t fully our choice. As I am now a Princess, I can’t just go and get married right away.
Yona said that there were some rats in her kingdom, that she very much wants to get rid of. With me still technically available to marry, some of them have already come out of the woodworks.
Though, bless her heart, Yona said that we don’t have to listen to her request, and that we can marry whenever we want to. Considering that all three of us aren’t ready to settle down just yet, we decided to just not get married until sometime from now.
Living as a Princess… Was somewhat weird. Sure, Ria’s maids took care of me a lot, but the ones here in Yona’s “castle” are on a whole nother level… Ria even got them to train her underlings. As for Ria, she no longer donned her maid outfit, and instead, she would wear the various dresses that I bought for her.
This also included her using her true form all of the time, rather than that meek maid form. She also didn’t act as my maid anymore, and more of just acted like my girlfriend, such as Lia and Nia act. I just don’t do anything sexual with her. Nor does she sleep with us.
Maid: “Princess Celia, the Queen requests your presence.” She said with a bow.
Celia: “Mom wants me? Sure, lead the way please.” I reply.
Maid: “Right away, Princess Celia.” She replied.
Awa… man, even after two years, I am still not used to people calling me princess… Oh well, I’ll get used to it eventually. I followed the cute maid with a pep in my step. Frankly, it was more like a modern mansion, rather than a castle, but they still call it a castle…
I saw my mother, Yona, just sitting down on a couch. She had some sweets and tea prepared for me, it seems. She isn’t going to ask or tell me something crazy, right?…
Yona: “Ah, my dear daughter, how are you doing today?” She asked with a smile.
Celia: “I am doing fine, mom.” I reply with a smile of my own, after I sat down next to her.
Yona: “Good, good. Now, Amelie informed me that your education in that academy, wasn’t very good, correct?” She asked.
Celia: “It truly wasn’t. I think that I only attended classes a handful times.” I reply with a sigh.
Yona: “Would you like to attend the academy in this kingdom?” She proposed.
Celia: “Hmm… I would, but will Lia and Nia be able to attend with me?” I ask.
Yona: “Yes, of course dear. I wouldn’t separate you all from each other.” She answered.
Celia: “Alright, then I would love to attend.” I reply.
Yona: “Very good! I would have been in a bind if you said no, as I have already enrolled you four into Gelvious.” She said with a laugh.
Celia: “Gelvious? Is that the name of your academy? And what do you mean by us four?” I ask with a curious tone.
Yona: “I included Ria in the enrollment. I have already talked with her, and I understand her position in your life. And yes, that is the name of it.” She explained.
Hm… if it having an actual name is anything to go on, I might have a real school life experience this time! Woohoo! The last place sucked to all hell! I was barely able to have a fun school life romance with Lia and Nia…
Celia: “Ah, and when will we attend it?” I ask.
Yona: “Today.” She answered.
Celia: “…”
Fuck… She really would have been in a bind, then. Right, with how motherly that Yona has been lately, I forgot how her personality is like this… Which is primarily my fault, as Amelie lives with us as well, and Yona tends to act like her word is final around her.
She isn’t a tyrant, or anything. She just gets shit done, regardless of if those involved were even aware of her actions or not. With a sigh, I was guided by a few maids to a carriage. Inside the carriage, was Lia, Nia, and Ria.
Celia: “Why did she have a conversation about it with me, when she already got you all ready and in the carriage?” I ask with a sigh.
Lia: “She didn’t ask us yet, Nia just explained it to us ahead of time.” She answered.
Nia: “That is so. Now then, Celia, are you ready to have a fun romance filled school life with us?” She asked with an excited expression.
Celia: “Sure, I guess. I mean, I am looking forward to it, but I only learned about attending another academy, just a few minutes ago.” I reply.
Nia: “Ah, that is correct. As for me, I’ve known about it for a few days.” She said with a giggle.
Celia: “…”
Cheeky future seeing girl! If only you weren’t so damn cute, then I could remove you from my life… Ah, she is just too cute, though!
Ria: “It will surely be fun, Celia.” She said with a smile.
Celia: “Right…” I say as I slump in my seat.
The carriage still impresses me greatly. Yona already spilled the beans that she “borrowed” some of the tech and advancements from my dungeon. Which is why that this carriage, and a lot of this kingdom, are so advanced already.
Talking about my dungeon, I haven’t actually checked it out this entire time. I got annoyed by the constant vast changes it would undergo. Besides, seeing it after such a long time, will surely be interesting, to say the least.
*Hours Later.*
The ride was a breeze, since the carriage clearly had suspensions on the wheels. The Gelvious Academy, to be frank, was just a basic ass modern college… Well, it clearly had fantasy like elements to it, but it still looked like an extremely upper class college back from my time.
Unlike that academy back in Tuseoun, you couldn’t choose your classes. Which means that I have to attend stupid classes, such as manners, and dance class. Though, I can still also attend classes revolving around magic and weapons.
As it would be wrong for a princess to attend the opening ceremony, that would have many students attending it, instead we were guided to an interesting estate.
It… it looked just like Yona’s “castle”… And this was totally on purpose, as I could tell that it was only recently finished… Oh well, no use in complaining about Yona being an overprotective mother.
Once inside, I was shocked again. As my room looked the same as the one back in Yona’s place. Didn’t they go too far with this?… It looked EXACTLY the same. Even down to the various items that were around the room. The only thing missing was a random item that I placed on my nightstand earlier today…
Ria: “Celia, that woman, Yona, is quite the interesting woman.” She said with a giggle.
Celia: “Yeah… that she is.” I say with a sigh.
After that, we had our uniforms fitted to us. They basically looked the same as Tuseoun’s academy uniform, so I felt fine in my new one. It still felt way better, though.
Once that was done, we all decided to just head to bed without eating dinner. When I got into bed, Lia and Nia quickly snuggled up with me. As we have been sleeping together for years now, there wasn’t any embarrassment going around, and we fell asleep quite fast. I was looking forward to a comfy dream, but I was met with a nightmare…
