All Chapters of At your service, my lady: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

At the president´s office, inside Nicholas´head.It was faint, but I can swear I saw it.At that moment, in the arena, when he rose his fist.The future. A glimpse of it.One where he ruled with many people at his side. And there was an army, an invincible army that would be the bastion against everything that could harm this kingdom.There would be irregulars and nobles fighting together as one. People would gather around them to congratulate them on their victories. And I would be at my home, with a beautiful wife and children with smiles on their faces. Living peacefully.And he would be there, on the throne, with his forces ready to strike down the enemies before him.History will talk about us from this moment onwards. I must make sure that the tales are worth listening to.That´s why you have to ascend, Dominique. Even higher than me.You will be the weapon I use to force my father into submitting the throne. I will show him your power. Your bravery and greed.And once you mar

With our little meeting finished, Jasmine and Isabella accompanied me to our classroom. We had lost the first lesson since Nicholas called us, but the teachers noticed so there shouldn´t be problems with our late arrival.I would have liked to speak more with Véronica, but she was busy with the council´s work and her own classes. We agreed to meet during lunch break anyways, so all I need to do now is be patient.As we walked through the hallways I noticed that most students around us were whispering and looking at our direction with curious eyes. It was time to change classrooms so it wasn´t strange for them to be walking around school.Both girls also noticed this and showed triumphant smiles.What with these two?I could understand the good feeling that comes with victory, but they seem more like the owner of a dog whose proud of its performance.Am I the dog?...I ditched the thought as I saw the classroom´s door. Students were still entering so there was no need to knock an anno

We finally arrived at the cafeteria. Normally, one would think that getting from the main building to the green lands of wind would take a long time, but the academy had plenty of transportation methods that the students could use to get from one point to another rather quickly.The zone looked like a city plaza. It was filled with a good variety of food posts that the students could visit to pay for a well-made meal.There were also several tables, benches, and sofas to sit and eat with friends. This is truly a school for the wealthy...I had a good amount of money thanks to my work with Herion, so I was able to pay for anything I wanted for a time. Still, that was not an excuse to just buy anything with a price mark on it."Let´s get our food, I already have a table, so we´ll go there once we are done picking up our meals""You already have a table, mister Dominique? How? When?"The guy from the group asked me with skepticism all over his face. I showed him a little smile and said:

The sun was high, and the smell of a variety of foods was flooding the air along with the sounds of people chatting and laughing. We had a nice atmosphere that made the food taste even better."I can´t believe the prince is eating with those demons...""Who are those lowly nobles? How dare they eat with the council?""They must have tricked the prince! Surely they used a cursed artifact or their vile magic!"Or at least that was the case when you weren´t focused on the surroundings.People were gossiping about us in some indiscreet manner. Some of them even stared at us without mercy. I was able to feel their jealousy and disgust as their grim faces showed me their thoughts.Well, I was already expecting that... And I´m sure Nicholas and the others are aware too...Eating with the prince and the council was not just a thing I wanted to do as friends, but also as a message to the whole academy.We can stay close to the prince when you can´t.That´s what Isabella and I were telling the

The way to the blacksmith was not as peaceful as I wanted it to be. For good or worse, Verónica and Jasmine exchanged insults until I got tired of them and personally asked them to stop.I had heard that people that deeply trust each other tend to be mean, but I can´t believe that right now, at least not with these two.I also had taken off my school coat, it was not obligatory to wear it outside the academy´s hours, so I took advantage of the permission. "It´s been a while since I have been to the market" said Verónica while staring at the posts."Well, if you have time to spare, we can get a snack or two""Really? Is that okay?""Sure thing, I was going to buy some things anyway"Her face suddenly got brighter, it was adorable how much she had gotten excited by that suggestion.Now there is no reason to not do it."How about you, Jasmine?""I´ll accept any gift from you, even food""That´s good to know, now let´s see what´s hot"To get into the market I had to leave Twilight in a p
