Otome's Law of Ascension

Chapter 17 17. Graveyard

The cafeteria on the first floor was noisy and crowded. Although Si Tao had prepared meals for Licia, Licia had no appetite at all.

"Uh, Sitao. Is it really better here than on the second floor?" Licia took a sip of the meatball soup, but it wasn't as delicious as the rumors said, let alone the food eaten by the nobles.

Si Tao froze for a moment, then nodded. "I think it's delicious and the portion is sufficient."

Lizia was about to say that she could buy two meals upstairs, but she suddenly remembered something. She seemed to have heard Linxi say that Hisoka's family failed in an investment, which led to the lack of money and food in the family, so Sitao Or it may be in a state of cash-strapped right now.

"Indeed." Lycia nodded.

"Hello, is there anyone here?" A very good-looking civilian woman pointed to the place next to Licia.

"No one, you sit down." Licia was worrying about how to finish the meal so as not to make Si Tao feel uncomfortable, so she didn't look up at the girl with 80.00% disgust on her head.

Until Julia waved at Yuga who had just finished cooking. "Prefect, here!"

Licia almost choked on the broth, but when she looked up, she saw Yuga was already sitting diagonally opposite her.

"Ah, it's you." Licia still decided to say hello.

"Yes, Miss Licia, I'm Yuga, the prefect of the Mandala Academy."

Before Licia could speak, Si Tao was so excited that she leaned on the dining table and leaned over to look at Yuga. "It's you, it's you, I heard that your skill in driving Pegasus has reached the highest rating."

Pegasus riding was not included in the first-year curriculum, but Shitao seemed very interested.

"Pegasus? Si Tao, do you want to become a Pegasus knight in the future?" Licia didn't think about her future career plan, she didn't even fully understand the purpose of her coat of arms.

Sisostao nodded and pointed to the stained glass on the window. "Look, every Pegasus rider is very chic and at ease, Senior Yuga, you are also like this when you are riding a Pegasus."

"Well, thanks to the praise, if nothing unexpected, I should stay in the academy and become a teacher of the Pegasus course." Yuga finished speaking and glanced at Licia.

The latter was poking meatballs with a spoon, and seemed not at all interested in the topic.

"I heard that the bolide incident that happened before the new students started school was related to a nobleman." Julia chatted about it in a homely tone.

This made Licia's scalp suddenly tense. Her brother Keith was accused of stealing the heraldry stone. The time was very close to the Bolide incident, but the church did not accuse him of using the heraldry stone.

Licia raised her head and glanced at the person who was speaking to her. It was a civilian with an 80.00% disgust level on her head, with an outstanding appearance.

"Julia, civilians are not qualified to talk about nobles." After Yuga finished speaking, Licia observed that the level of disgust on Julia's head rose again.

"But I heard that the nobleman escaped before the trial, so he is no longer a nobleman." Anger and jealousy can make people go to the head. Julia is just an ordinary 19-year-old girl. She is extremely popular among the group, she spent two years, but still can't adapt to this huge psychological gap, she is crazily jealous of every noble girl.

"Miss Julia, I think the story of my brother has been spread in the college. You know the ins and outs of the matter, and you didn't mention it by accident. So, you are provoking the nobles." Lizia used the nobleman's words for the first time. identity to intimidate civilians, after all, 17 years ago, she was still living in a free and equal world.

The 17 years of aristocratic career occasionally made her lose herself, but she still reminds herself all the time that people are equal.

Just like what her brother Keith said, nobles just happen to have the power of heraldry, and they should use their power to help weak commoners and avoid the influence of alien beasts and rogues.

Si Tao also felt the malice of the commoner girl, but after Licia finished speaking, the commoner girl suddenly started to tremble, and looked very pitiful.

Julia regretted it. She hadn't gained full strength yet, so she shouldn't have provoked a nobleman.

Licia stood up, although she wanted to continue to rage at this malicious civilian.

But she restrained herself, because of the unequal status, her anger might bring disaster to this young irritable and stupid girl.

"I'm full, let's go, Si Tao."

Licia's kindness did not make Julia feel grateful. She gritted her teeth with a pale complexion, looked at the back of Manli who left the cafeteria, and glanced at Yuga with humble and admiring eyes. A lot of hate comes.

During the equestrian class in the afternoon, Lizia's stomach was growling, and she didn't eat enough at noon.

"Miss Licia, put your feet in the stirrups." Dimitri pulled the reins and slowed down. Licia, who was lagging behind, had her feet loose on the horse's back, which was very dangerous.

After correcting her movements, Dimitri noticed that the other freshmen had followed Troy away.

Two bay red horses are walking side by side on the green lawn, with a Gothic tower behind and a row of roses planted on the right.

Lycia's horse was on the right side, so Dimitri looked over her as if she were in an oil painting.

"Miss Licia, I'm very sorry. At the tea party a few days ago, I behaved very ungentlemanly." Dimitri was wearing a blue riding suit, with his upper body leaning back slightly.

Licia nodded. "You don't need to apologize, Your Highness the Crown Prince, your actions are responsible to the empire." She said this with her neck held high, not seeming to be forgiving at all.

Looking at Licia's rosy face and raised chin, Dimitri was distracted for a moment.

The neighing of the horse broke the peaceful parallel.

"What happened." Licia looked in the direction of the voice.

Dimitri's horse was already galloping away.

She also followed closely behind.

This road has deviated from the road of practicing horseback riding.

Go in the direction of the cemetery.

After entering the forest, the bay red horse slowed down.

Licia didn't even know why she came with her. This was the prefect's business, not hers.

As we approached the cemetery, the temperature seemed to drop a bit.

"Is there no one?" Dimitri had already dismounted, and he stretched out his hand to help Licia step onto the flat ground.

The soft boots made a rustling sound on the fallen leaves, and there seemed to be no one here.

"You come with me, it's not safe for you to go back alone." Dimitri folded the whip three times and handed it to Licia to hold.

The two walked towards the cemetery.

There is mist here, and the tombstones are covered with moss.

He didn't hear the neighing of the horse, but Lizia could vaguely hear the voice of the voice.
