There was a buzz about a new transfer student with black hair and black eyes. It was a rare combination even in Arundel. Naturally, everyone in the school would be curious...as am I since the witch has finally shown herself.

No matter how hard I tried to find her, the world was against me. It appears that there are certain events that were meant to happen and that I cannot avoid unless I do something drastic to avoid the event. I guess the laws of the world about our confrontation are not easy to escape.

Maybe I can move up our confrontation earlier?

Our confrontation occurs from my marriage with Erik and his coronation as King soon afterwards.

If I can antagonize her enough, we can have our confrontation while I am at the peak of my strength.

I went to the most knowledgeable person I could think of during lunch.

"Gavin, are you familiar with ways of bullying someone?"

His eyebrows scrunched up so much that it seemed that his face would stay like that forever.

"What are you asking about with that face of yours?" Gavin asked.

"I am asking about how to go about antagonizing another female."

"You just rephrased the question...Help me sweep the front porch," he said as he began sweeping. "Why are you asking an apprentice clergy anyways?"

"I thought that you must be the most in touch with the world's evils due to your profession."

"You are wrong, but you are not that far off...What a complicated statement," Gavin said. "Why are you researching about how to bully a person? What did that person ever do to you?"

She killed my husband and brought me to despair.

"Nothing...I just dislike her," I said as I left. "I will donate some money later. I hope that you will distribute some of the funds towards the mainland to buy winter coats for the orphanages."

As I thought, I do not have it in me to play the villainess role...I have been surrounded by too many good people. If only I had been a dull person who grew up without being loved, maybe things would have been different.

"You are too cocky for a freshman!" a lady screamed.

I happened upon Kaya Ouchi while she was being verbally bullied by other girls.

This scene again.

I let the confrontation grow to physical means between the ladies before intervening.

"The teacher will be coming around soon. It is best that you lot get on with your day," I told them.

They quickly left.

"You helped me?"

The same conversation again...

"My name is Arielle Ira Maddox."

"Why would you, of all people, help me?"

Instead of being grateful, she continued on with her rude tone.

...Wait, she knew of me before she met me?

I never thought too much about it, but she has met me before?

"...Do you know of me?" I inquired her.

She averted her gaze.

"How could this lowly Noble know a Duke's daughter?" she asked.

"...From when did I ever say that I was a daughter of a Duke?" I asked.

Did she return to this cycle as well?
