The Queen’s Path

“I’ll come to pick you up on Friday, Your Highness,” Hans Borg said to Wilhelmina. “Please take care of yourself and seek help from the dormitory supervisor if you have difficulties. Get along well with Miss Garcia. And…”

“Study hard and don’t be led astray by Kerns,” Wilhelmina finished.

Hans Borg laughed. Wilhelmina opened her arms and hugged him tightly before he stood up to say goodbye.

From this point, Wilhelmina would leave his embrace and enter collective life, experiencing the challenges ahead. As Hans Borg walked away, he realized that despite being only twenty-two, he felt like an old father.

“Wow…” Angela exclaimed, bringing Wilhelmina’s gaze back. “He’s so handsome! Is he your butler?”

“He’s my secretary,” Wilhelmina replied, feeling a bit low due to parting.

“Right, secretary,” Angela said, eyes full of infatuation. “He’s even more handsome than Freyr Koman. Why hasn’t a man like this gone into movies? Are all court officials this handsome?”

Freyr Koman was a popular movie star, the dream lover of billions of young girls in the empire.

Wilhelmina had once liked him too, but after living in the court, she had gradually forgotten her former idol.

“Is this your first time at a boarding school?” Angela asked. “I cried my eyes out back then. You look much stronger than I was. It’s not a big deal. You’ll feel sad at first, but you’ll soon love life here. No one will stop you from lying in bed eating desserts or drinking coffee, and you can even plaster your room with star posters. Cheer up!”

Wilhelmina laughed, “You’re really interesting.”

“Everyone says that,” Angela replied proudly.

Wilhelmina took a deep breath and asked, “Hey, want some help?”

“Great! You’re such a good person!” Angela cheered. “We need to put clothes in the wardrobe and find tomorrow’s textbooks. Be careful, my blueberry cake is under this pile of stuff.”

“Vili—” Kerns burst in, “I finally found you! I’m staying in the room above yours.”

Wilhelmina sighed, “May Odin protect me. If I hear you jumping around upstairs at night, I’ll definitely shoot you down with an energy gun.”

“This chubby kid looks familiar!” Angela leaned over.

Kerns jumped up, “Disrespectful girl. My father is Lord Nolheim.”
