“Yes, her father is an elf, and her mother a human being. She used to live in a human village with her mother. Half-elves live much longer than normal humans, though not as long as pureblood elves. Her mother died a few years ago. As her father was a hero who died in the war of Abyss, Saidian decided to take her in and arranged for her to enter this Academy.”
“I see.”
No wonder that girl’s ears were much shorter than the other elves.
Compared with the elves who almost never leave the forest and rarely deal with the outside world, humans and orcs have much more contact and communication. I remember when our tribe was still settled in the Northern grasslands, human merchant travelers would come to sell and buy from time to time. Many young orcs in the tribe would go to human towns to do casual works, work as mercenaries in taverns, or as porters in docks and post stations, it was said that the income was quite high.
So while there are still plenty of humans who don’t like us because of ethnic differences and historical origins, at least they totally don’t misinterpret us like the elves here.
“What happened here? I saw you arguing with that blonde girl…” I was still a little concerned about what just happened.
“Well… her name is Felina and our senior. She is a problem student in this Academy. She bullies and oppresses the students whom she doesn’t like, and classmate Angelica is targeted by her.”
So to say, when the half-elf was being bullied by the blonde and her minions, the princess stood up against it?
“Is it because she is a half-elf?”
“That is one of the reasons, but mainly… it is because classmate Angelica is a little…. Not quite adapted here. She hardly speaks in front of other students, and avoids other students to eat alone.” Princess Alyssa looked worried, “She’s been here for a while, and hasn’t made a friend.”
“Well.., she is indeed quite a loner.” I nodded.
“Classmate Brock, don’t be so direct…” princess Alyssa said with a bitter smile.
Even if put in another way, anyone could see that the girls’ action showed that she doesn’t want to have anything to do with anyone, even princess Alyssa, who offered to help her, was turned down.
Such a maverick character, it is easy to be spotted by characters who like to find faults.
“I’m also a little worried about you, Brock.” Princess Alyssa looked into my eyes.
“Am I also being targeted?”I immediately understood.
“Yes. In fact, most of the students are against your admission, Felina is one of them. I heard that she once threatened to throw you out of the college by herself. She has done a lot of excessive things to her targets in the past. I’m afraid she will harm you.”
“I don’t think there’s anything to worry about…”
Thinking of the girl frowning at me coldly, while her legs were incessantly shaking, I don’t think she could create any waves.
“Please be careful, and let me know if you encounter anything,” she said with a sincere look.
This princess is really kind.
“Don’t worry, I’m a soldier who has gone through the battlefield.” I clenched my left hand in a boxing gesture and smiled confidently, “if she takes initiative to pick a quarrel with me, I’ll return the favor.”
