TO TAKE THE ENEMY'S HEART CH-2

Continuing

Orion's POV-:

Life in the Royal academy is perilous.

And right now is no exception, when every person in sight is like a dagger against my throat, waiting for the perfect opportunity to slit me open.

Being a commoner in a place filled with the nobles of highest-ranking is like being a rabbit in a wolf pack.

Orion Hage (MC)

(walking through the hallway)

Orion Hage (MC)

*I've to meet with the priest before he leaves for the temple *

The priest overlooks the academy, having been granted the position by the very king of the country. I, as the scholarship student, has to meet him before starting my studies here.

Orion Hage (MC)

(opens the door of the dean's room and enters)

Thaddeus 《Holy Priest》

(looks up at Orion)

Thaddeus 《Holy Priest》

You're late, Mr. Hage

Orion Hage (MC)

Huff.... Pardon me, I was a little lost in this huge place

Thaddeus 《Holy Priest》

(looks him up and down)

Orion Hage (MC)

(gulps)

Thaddeus 《Holy Priest》

I assume you've already been to your assigned room ?

Orion Hage (MC)

Yeah

Thaddeus doesn't look amiable.

Being the sole holy priest of the country is one of the highest positions granted. He's always looked upon as the messenger of the god, who's blessed with holy spirits.

He's young and Imperious.

Thaddeus 《Holy Priest》

(crosses his legs)

Thaddeus 《Holy Priest》

My job here is to look after each and every student and see if they're well-behaved

Thaddeus 《Holy Priest》

I'm sure you know..... Your position here as a scholarship student

Orion Hage (MC)

....(grits his teeth)

My lips pull up in a tight fake smile as I retort back-

Orion Hage (MC)

My position here is of a student

Orion Hage (MC)

I'm neither less than that nor more than that

Thaddeus 《Holy Priest》

(tilts his head) Nice answer....But might I add that you're the only commoner in here

Thaddeus 《Holy Priest》

I'll advice you to use that sharp tongue intelligently

Orion Hage (MC)

I will (tightens his jaw)

Thaddeus 《Holy Priest》

Your name is Orion Hage, right ?

Orion Hage (MC)

It is

Thaddeus 《Holy Priest》

Then I wish you make your time worth here, Orion

Thaddeus 《Holy Priest》

Don't get into troubles..... I know you're aware that nobody would be friendly to you

Thaddeus 《Holy Priest》

And nobody would save you either

I can argue back with him, but the truth is that I'm indeed a commoner and would be loathed by most of the people here. My position does not allow me to argue with Thaddeus.

Orion Hage (MC)

.....

Thaddeus 《Holy Priest》

And that includes me as well, I won't save you, Orion

Orion Hage (MC)

Pardon ?

Thaddeus 《Holy Priest》

(stands up) I hope you get accustomed to your life here as soon as possible

Orion Hage (MC)

Aren't you the dean, why won't you save me ?

Thaddeus 《Holy Priest》

(stares at Orion's face)

Thaddeus 《Holy Priest》

My job includes me looking after the 'Nobles' not a commoner

Orion Hage (MC)

I did expect this but nonetheless, I'm a little surprised. The hatred laced in his voice is conspicuous.

Orion Hage (MC)

Then you won't interfere if someone harms me ?

Thaddeus 《Holy Priest》

.......

Thaddeus 《Holy Priest》

Orion Hage (MC)

(smiles) I hope you don't interfere when I fight back as well

Thaddeus 《Holy Priest》

(laughs) I think I'll have fun in the coming days

Orion Hage (MC)

*Fuçking son of a motherfuçker*

Thaddeus 《Holy Priest》

You may leave now

Orion Hage (MC)

(bows slightly)

Orion Hage (MC)

(turns and walks out the room)

The situation is worse than I imagined, I knew the students would hate me and look for chances to ostracize me, but the dean himself made it clear that he wouldn't save me.

But I'm prepared to kill every person who stands in my way. It doesn't matter if I have to fight alone, I will get what I want.

Orion Hage (MC)

(walks down the stairs to get to his assigned room)

Orion Hage (MC)

(halts) This is not the correct way..... Did I get lost once again ?

Orion Hage (MC)

(turns around)

I examine the place, hoping to find someone but to my rotten luck it was deserted. I sigh deeply, contemplating to walk back to the dean's office to ask for help.

Before I could take a step ahead, I hear a voice from behind. My body turns around in a swift move, alerted because I didn't hear any footsteps.

Orion Hage (MC)

(turns around) Who are you ?

Dylan Andre 《Baron's son》

(smiles) I'm Dylan Andre, Baron's son

Dylan Andre 《Baron's son》

Are you perhaps lost ?

Orion Hage (MC)

.....Yeah.

He doesn't have any harmful intent in his aura.

Dylan Andre 《Baron's son》

Let me lead you to your assigned room

Orion Hage (MC)

I'd appreciate it

Orion Hage (MC)

(walks towards him)

Dylan Andre 《Baron's son》

I assume you're the scholarship student

Dylan Andre 《Baron's son》

Orion Hage (MC)

I am

He's rather beautiful.

We're both of the same height, his build is more on the skinny and toned side. The features on his face are delicate and soft, along with his pale skin which highlights his cheekbones and jawline. His hair are a mesmerizing white color, complimenting his looks.

Dylan Andre 《Baron's son》

I was excited to meet you, everyone's talking about you

Orion Hage (MC)

(scrunched eyebrows) Talking about me ?

Dylan Andre 《Baron's son》

Yeah, everyone's waiting to test you (smirks)

Seems like it's going to be tougher than I thought.

End of Orion's POV.

Somewhere in the Royal academy -

CAIUS' POV-:

There's a rumor going around about the scholarship student.

Mostly the scholarship students consist of children from fallen noble families but this time it's a commoner. And not only did he excel in academics but also in swordsmanship, something which even nobles find hard to do.

Trevor Brooks 《Duke's son》

What do you say, Caius?

Trevor Brooks 《Duke's son》

Shall we have a little greet and meet with the new student ?

Trevor Brooks 《Duke's son》

I'm dying to test him
