Chapter 234 - Trouble In The Garden

"I am a prince to my mother and father."

This one line was more than enough to surprise not only Biyou but also Ariel. They could have, never in their wildest thought ever imagined that Rex would say something like that.

As Rex and Biyou entered the garden, Ariel laughed silently.

She was taken aback by what Rex said and after thinking for a second, knew that he didn't necessarily lie about anything.

'If we think about it in that way, then everyone can get inside the garden.', she smiled.

Well, the Academy was one of the most prestigious magic institutes. It also harbored many geniuses who were soon to be future inventors. There were others too, that we were going to be great magic knights or even future rulers of many kingdoms.

That was why the Academy placed many rules for everyone and purposely left loopholes in that rules. The one to figure it out would get points and these points would be contributed towards the monthly rankings and yearly rankings within the section, year, and even in the total rankings.

That was why whatever Rex said was absolutely true and it was indeed a loophole.

This, even teachers weren't aware of. Yes, no one knew other than the principal and the dean who would get access to the secret info of loopholes and expectancy.

Everything in the Academy was connected via mana and thus everyone's movements were monitored. This, the students weren't aware of.

Thus, they could easily identify who found the loophole first. Also, this would be helpful to find out the culprits and bullies, and many others who commit crimes on a small scale.

Basically, if Rex were to soon know about this, it would be pretty easy for him to find out and show the evidence about the things that happened with Alaia.

Regardless, when Rex and Biyou entered the garden wearing quite normal clothes, the princesses that were inside and were chatting were suddenly surprised.

Yes, they were quite surprised to see Rex and Biyou, who looked like commoners, sitting on the bench that was right next to them.

Of course, they were chatting loudly but after seeing them enter, they almost stopped talking and just gave hints of how some other people entered the garden.

"Haha, Rex, I never knew that you had such a slick tongue.", Biyou said.

He was being loud and the princesses sitting near them could hear them clearly.

"You have a way with your words…", he then repeated and basically narrated the entire incident to Rex with a surprised tone.

Rex was getting bored of it when he finally said, "Biyou, don't you think you should notice that we are inside the garden?"

"Ya, huh?", he stopped talking right after Rex said that.

He finally realized that he was sitting inside the garden. He was so lost in what Rex said that he had totally forgotten about it.

He immediately got up from the bench as he said, "We have to-"

But Rex pulled him and made him sit again while saying, "Chill."

"There is nothing to worry about."

"But…", Biyou was still skeptical of the situation.

He turned his gazes here and there only to find four princesses sitting towards their left side.

He then laughed weirdly and bowed his head when their eyes met. The princesses immediately turned their eyes in the other direction as they chatted with themselves about the two who had entered.

"Hey, don't you find those two guys weird…?", asked one of the princesses.

She wasn't that beautiful nor was she by any means ugly. Just your average girl. The same was true with two others, but one among them was extremely beautiful.

Yes, she was none other than Riley, the girl who had made Alaia the way she was right now.

Alaia had definitely developed a trauma. Even if Rex didn't say that explicitly, he knew that she would have some fears in going to school.

Thankfully she wasn't afraid of men, or boys. If she were, then she couldn't have stayed still or believed Rex when he arrived and appeared in front of her.

She would have never revealed her story or trusted him so much that she would end up showing her body. Of course, the emotion of feeling shameful must have been dead, but yes, that's how it would have ended.

Regardless, Rex and Biyou continued to argue about leaving the place when Riley glanced at Rex's face.

'Isn't he the same boy who was with the principal?', Riley recalled.

Yes, she had seen his face and had remembered him thinking that he was handsome for sure.

'But why is he wearing such clothes?'

'As far as I remember, he was wearing gorgeous royal clothes…', she said to herself.

The princess was talking bad about him while Riley kept arguing with herself if Rex was a prince.

In any case, the three princesses stood up while saying, "Please stay here, we will kick those filthy rats out."

And right after saying this to Riley, all three of them rushed towards Rex and Biyou.

"Excuse us…", the three girls headed towards Rex and said this.

One of them had a hand fan in her hands which was beautiful and painted in pink while the remaining two had a lot of ornaments on their fingers, mostly rings and bracelets.

They looked at Rex and Biyou after which they said sarcastically, "You two must be princes to be sitting in the garden right?"

Biyou looked at Rex while thinking, 'This smells trouble, Rex. I think we should get going!'

Well, entering the garden was a problem in itself but after seeing the princesses approach, Biyou realized that they would end up in a bad situation if they continued to sit there.

"Yes, we are. Is there any problem?", Rex asked with a smile.

He was handsome of course, so for a second, the three ladies were baffled. But right after looking at Biyou, they regained their composure and said, "How dare you lie?"
