“Please enter your fingerprint and retinal information on the door lock for future access. Dormitory curfew is from 10 pm to 6 am. Open fires and cooking are prohibited, and no overnight guests are allowed. Mrs. Kariman will be the floor supervisor. The emergency call button is located above the bedhead. Please consult the materials for additional safety information.”
With Hans Borg’s help, Wilhelmina entered her fingerprint and retinal information. Once confirmed, the electronic door plate displayed the residents’ names: “Wilhelmina Osenberg.”
This simple name drew attention from students and parents in the hallway, some stopping to bow.
“Your Highness.” “It’s an honor to see you, Your Highness.”
In their eyes were admiration, friendliness, flattery, and wariness. Wilhelmina smiled and returned the greetings.
“Let’s tour the cafeteria,” Hans Borg suggested, putting his arm around her shoulders to guide her away from the social exchanges. When they returned to the dormitory, another person was already in the room.
The black-haired girl had some Latin ancestry, with wheat-colored skin, thick eyebrows, and large eyes, appearing both beautiful and spirited. Slightly taller than Wilhelmina, her school uniform was worn askew, and her suitcase was open on the floor with clothes scattered messily on the bed.
“Hey, roommate!” the girl exclaimed upon seeing Wilhelmina, full of enthusiasm. “Let’s get to know each other. Angela Ruiz Garcia. You’re that treasure girl, right?”
“Treasure girl?” Wilhelmina was stunned.
“Yeah, that’s right. The young duchess, the emperor’s granddaughter, the girl from the Roxston Star Domain. I saw the name on the door. Your name is Wilhelmina, right? Can I call you Wina?”
“Everyone calls me Vili.”
“Okay, Vili does sound better. You can call me Angela or Gigi. Are you in Class B? I’m in Class A—the exclusive class for top students! We’re starting biology this semester, and you’ll definitely love it!”
Angela talked non-stop about school matters while organizing her clothes. She was friendly and enthusiastic, showing no extra respect or flattery toward Wilhelmina.
Hans Borg had already figured out Angela’s background. She came from a middle-class family, with a dentist father and a middle school teacher mother. She was admitted to Odin Academy purely through her intelligence and excellent grades.
The roommate assignment was completely random, and this roommate was preferable to those from noble or wealthy families.
