The Lady Who Was Rejected with 'I Love Someone Else' Turned Out to Be the Strongest Sorceress – The Fate of the Prince Who Abandoned Her and the Lady Who Found Freedom - Episode 12

Today, I went to the magic academy again. However, I noticed that the atmosphere was different from usual. The students wouldn’t meet my gaze. When I tried to look at them, they all quickly turned away.

As if saying, “I don’t want to get involved.”

When I entered the classroom, I felt a different atmosphere than usual. I felt more gazes than usual. But they weren’t curious gazes; they were suspicious and wary gazes.

It feels strangely empty around my seat, as if they don’t want to get close to me.

When I sat down, my close friends who always come over just looked at me from a distance today. Even they didn’t come to talk. They just kept glancing over at me.

I feel somehow uncomfortable. My chest feels restless. But I think this is inevitable. It’s not my fault, though.

Perhaps everyone has heard about what happened at the party the other day. I think there are some kids who saw the scene directly.

In that situation, I denied the bullying. But it must have become a rumor. Everyone must have heard Prince Alfred blaming me and getting angry after arguing with Edgar.

He must be watching me because he doesn’t want to incur the prince’s displeasure. He’s avoiding me, possibly because I might have angered Prince Alfred. I can’t believe his influence still lingers. We should have been completely unrelated after breaking off our engagement.

If time passes, everyone will surely return to their usual attitudes. I think this situation will gradually return to normal as well. I hope it happens soon.

The magic class is starting. Today, it seems we will be moving to the training grounds, pairing up to practice casting and defending against spells.

“I’m s-sorry. Today, I ended up pairing with someone else. I’m really sorry.”

“Got it.”

I was turned down by the person I always partnered with. It’s so sad to be avoided like that. I wonder if there are any other kids left. As I was pondering what to do, someone called out to me.

“Are you alone?”

“Huh?”

Turn towards the direction where the voice is coming from.

The one who spoke to me when I was alone was Vanessa, who had become Prince Alfred’s new fiancée.

I never expected her to talk to me; it was surprising. I answered, feeling flustered.

“Yeah, just me.”

“Well then, let’s team up together.”

“With me?”

What does Vanessa mean by wanting to partner with me?

“Yes, with you.”

When I stared into Vanessa’s eyes, I felt like she was up to something. But I don’t think it’s a problem. Since she invited me, I decided to team up with her for the class.

“Well then, please.”

“Yeah, nice to meet you.”
