I Don’t Want This Bad Ending

***

GAB AND EVELYN were sitting inside the carriage looking amicably to each other.

The sulking Gab is now fine when Evelyn pestered him and flashed a smile.

He couldn't be mad at Evelyn... It was a relief that she didn't act like the nobles that Gab knew.

The cunning, egotistic, and prideful type of nobles is what he detests the most.

But Evelyn was different from them. He knew it for the past year that they were together...

Evelyn didn't treat her like a slave, or that of an escort. She treated her like a friend or a young brother at most.

And thinking about it, Gab felt a slight -pang in his heart. He doesn't know the reason why, but he was angry at Chrisfold for holding Evelyn's hand and kissing it.

Nonetheless, he buried he's thought because he saw Evelyn's smiling face that was enough to ease the tension inside his heart.

"We're here..." Said the coachman.

Gab went and open the carriage door and waited outside, he raised his hand for Evelyn to grab onto.

"My cute Gab really knows how to be a gentleman~"

"Stop it, Eve."

He sternly said to Evelyn.

He hates it when Evelyn teases her lovingly, this is also the reason why he blushes like a tomato when she starts to do her teasing routine with him...

But lately, Gab thinks that Evelyn was raising him like she was raising a pet... but he will still smile because of how fond he is to her.

'Must be my imagination...' He thought.

Suddenly Evelyn gasped in admiration...

"Wow... Look, Gab! This school is big..."

"Your house is big too." He retorted.

"...but this looks bigger. Wow!"

He laughs when he saw Evelyn's eyes glistened in admiration.

'She looks so cute and innocent when she does this.' Gab thought.

'The school facade looks like the ones seen in London. The architecture looks like from the 10th century. The windows are big and each department has a separate building. This feels like O*ford University. Cool~' Evelyn thought, admiring the beauty of the school buildings.

"Now, I know why those idiot nobles are proud to have this school in their territory." Evelyn blurted.

"What?"

"Nothing~"

Evelyn then grabs Gab's hand.

"Come... Let's go to the administration office. We need to get our uniform and dormitory number." Evelyn said.

She was actually excited to experience yet again a campus life... She always felt happy when she sees people who are studying and the smell of the indoor classroom that is mixed with the scent of wood.

Evelyn ran with her hand still grabbing Gab's arm.

"Eve.... the luggage..."

"What?? Let the others do that. Your not a servant here Gab. You're a student..."

He smiled again at Evelyn.

"Seriously you... Wait... Slow down, Eve!"

***

The administration office was not far from the main entrance. It was situated near because new students will likely get lost because of how big the school of St. Prisch Academy is.

"Here it is, Lady Evelyn and... Sir Gab?" He asked he didn't know which household Gab is or rather his surname.

It was the male officer that was attending to the two to give out the uniforms and they're assigned room.

Both of them just smile and gave their "thank you" to the administrator.

They left the building with a map that was given in the admin office.

"Gab, do you want to have a tour first?" Evelyn's eyes shine when she asked Gab.

"Sure... We need to familiarize ourselves with the school. And besides, tomorrow will be the entrance so it's fine."

"Then let's go...!!"

Evelyn grabs his hand, this time Gab flushed red.

"Eve, you can let go now... There's a lot of noble kids who will see. And you're a public figure."

She looks at Gab's eyes and follows his stare. He was staring at their hands together.

Evelyn stares at Gab and she releases his hand from her grasp.

"You're right... Girls will surround you if I wasn't here... I'm sorry Gab..." Evelyn said while her voice was appearing to be sad.

He was flustered.

"Wait... Eve!!! That's not what I meant." He was frantically swaying his hands to indicate "NO"

And Evelyn who saw that giggle in amusement but she continues to tease him.

So she acts again...

"No... I'm sorry. I'm taking your opportunity to find a lover if I'm here..."

"Eve, what are you talking about?! It's not that... You're wrong! ... tsk! How should I explain this?!"

Evelyn observed Gab's action. He was swaying his hands in the hair, scratching his hair and biting his lips that Evelyn couldn't help but burst into a laugh.

"Pfft..."

Gab looked at her.

"Eve" It was so serious that Evelyn can't help but laugh out loud.

"Hahahahhaah!!!!!"

"EVE!!!"

"I'm sorry... Haha... You always fall for it... Haha... Ahhh I'm sorry."

".. ."

"... okay I'll stop. Happy?"

"Tsk! Let's go... You said you want to explore the campus..."

Evelyn smile. Then she followed Gab.

The St. Prisch Academy produce most of the King, Queen, Empress, Knights, Magician, and Saints that were prominent in using their magic as well as sword fighting, leading an army as well as being the head figure of a nation.

Every noble went and undergone training in this school. The other race as well came here to have the education they needed to lead their respective nation.

The entrance was built with high brick walls, with a leopard at the peak that symbolizes as the guardian of the Great Wizard.

There is also a metal arc that says "St. Prisch Academy".

There's a spacious area like a Colosseum, the steps are also operated as the sitting bench, it can overlook the arena that will serve as a battleground during the exam. It also serves as a training area.

To the right is the 5-story building where the cream color of the facade and the ceiling to floor glass makes the building look like a crystal tower and was contrasted to the rest of the school building that uses bricks as their main construction material. This is where the rooms and classes that will be taken upon.

There's also a glass greenhouse where different types of plants and medicinal herb are planted.

In the St. Prisch Academy, there's a different department, each has an emblem to represent their respective role. One for becoming knights, one for magicians, swordsmanship, tea parties, medicine, etc.

After looking at the architecture of the school, Evelyn and Gab are on their way to the dormitory. She looked at Gab and she asked him.

"What department did you apply for?"

"I'm still not sure... Maybe the Knight department... You?"

"Well... I actually want to take a class in sportsmanship and the magic department."

The largest department which Evelyn enrolled was the Magicians, where it is divided as water, earth, wind, fire. The basic magic that every race has.

"Oh... then I'll take those classes too."

Evelyn was shocked at what Gab said.

"What? Get your own class..."

"I'm here as your escort, Eve."

He flicked Evelyn's head.

"Aww! Hey!!" Evelyn just touch her forehead and looked at Gab.

"Seriously, Gab. Go and get the classes that you want. You're here at St. Prisch, the most prestigious academy might as well take the opportunity to learn."

"... I know. But I can't risk leaving you without an escort."

"Pfft... Gab, I'm Evelyn! The girl who was with you for the past year and have taken Shiek's training. You think I'll yield to some petty nobles, who only know how to have tea time? Please... Pfft"

"Fine... But don't you dare cause a commotion when I'm not there." Gab warned.

'So, it's okay to wreak havoc if you're there? Pfft... Cute child.' Evelyn silly thought.

They were merrily conversing when a figure from afar get near to them.

He was looking at the two, who were laughing and talking comfortably to each other. He narrowed his eyes and he frown.

He received the letter from his father saying that Evelyn will be admitted to the school along with his escort.

Allan, walk in their direction. And Evelyn who felt his presence stop at her tracks and looked at his brother's direction.

"Oh, look who is here? It's Evelyn, the bitch." Allan said mockingly.

'Right I forgot. This idiot is also here at the academy.'

She silently thought while Gab was at the back of Evelyn while restraining himself from stepping out of boundaries.

"Greetings, Sir Allan." She formally bows her head.

She used the formal greeting not wanting to give his brother a chance to ridicule her. She needs to keep him away as much as possible.

'I'm in the academy, where ladies gossip about me while the guys think I'm hard to please brat. I should stay away.' She carefully thought.

Allan raised his brows but instantly regain his expression.

"Father said that you will be coming. Haa... I thought I was reading some ridiculous thing... Father granting you to leave the estate..."

Evelyn sighs.

"Just what do you want to say, sir Allan?"

Allan steps closer and whispers to Evelyn.

"Don't you dare pester me! And live like the dead while in the Academy..."

Then he looks at Evelyn.

"...that way... You won't disgrace the Emsworth honor."

Evelyn smiles.

"That's also what I intend to do, Sir Allan."

".. ."

"If you're done mumbling stupid things, I'll excuse myself. I'm tired."

Evelyn bowed to the glaring Allan, not minding his stare. After a few feet away she sighs.

"....VELYN!!! LADY EVELYN!!!"

Someone was calling Evelyn from afar. She stops her tracks to face the man who was calling her name.

'Now what?!!!' She saw the blond figure and she sighs miserably.

"Sigh... Greetings, Crown Prince. May the sun guides your path."
