"I once heard he killed one of those evil knights with a pencil during the ma.s.sacre! He then killed another knight by breaking his neck with a paperback book!"

"Whoa!"

The crowd in the hallway went wild as the fatty walked by, wearing his top hat and whistling happily. In just the span of a week, he had successfully beaten up 5 different people who tried slandering Tanya. That put him on the top of the school leaderboard, giving him a sense of pride.

This might seem unbelievable to many, but the fatty did not get fat due to eating or being lazy. Hiding underneath the layers of fat were pristine toned muscles that would put some professional athletes to shame. But this fatty did not really care for looking extra cool. This was his form of weight training after all. As long as he maintained his veins, this lifestyle would not have to be too big of an issue for him.

But to the public, he is the lovable fatty, John Vick.

Meanwhile, Tanya decided to take another stroll in the forest in her forest deity form. She browsed around the green shrubbery and lively trees hoping that she could find a few more stupid travellers that are willing to wors.h.i.+p her. Alas, it was raining heavily, so no one came by and stopped.

Slightly dejected, Tanya returned to the academy with no progress to her deity job cla.s.s. At this point she started to understand even more why such a seemingly powerful job had been handed to her so easily. It was a joke. Even if she managed to make it powerful by leveling up, it would be much easier to just ascend more basic jobs.

Tanya found herself in the dorm rooms soon enough, finding that her dormitory was currently closed and the room door stating 'Under Maintenance'.

"Don't we usually receive a week's notice before they renovate our dorms? This is really all too inconvenient…" Tanya mumbled, lightly kicking the door.

'I didn't even have a chance to get my own clothes.'

She walked off, hoping to find Penelope or any other one of the girls. At the very least, she wanted to find a place where she could sleep with someone she knows. 

"Ugh… I can't find anyone. Where did they run off to…" Tanya rubbed her chin, standing in the middle of the hallway.

"Oh? Tanya Vermillion?" A blonde haired girl suddenly noticed her, walking up closer and stopping 2 metres apart from Tanya. The distance seemed to have indicated n.o.ble protocol, a much more conservative feeling.

Tanya responded by looking back to the voice only to find Serena standing there in pink bathrobes.

"Why are you walking around the halls in the middle of the night? The sun has already gone out and the rain is far too serious to remain outside. Has your head gone bad?" Serena mocked non-maliciously.

"Perhaps did you come here to bully that Yuri girl…? You are really too shameless, such a terrible person." Serena pouted.

"Why can't you just get over it? Don't you have anything better to do with your life other than trying to ridicule me? My dormitory is being renovated right now, I just want to find a place to sleep over for the night."

"Oh? Why don't you sleep over in my room? There is no one else there and I can a.s.sure you the walls are thick." Serena suggested. Tanya's face showed suspicion as she heard Serena mention the thick walls. It was quite obvious that Serena meant something lewd.

"Serena, just marry my brother. I am not going to fall for your trap and be forced to take responsibility. Your plans might be able to work on most students, but not me."

Before Tanya could say another word, Serena frowned, clearly about to say something. She tapped her toes on the floor as if anxious, and fiddled with a pencil in her breast pocket.

"Well, you see… Benjamin is already seeing someone. So that won't exactly work, Tanya."

"Who?"

"My brother."

"..."

The scene quickly became awkward. No one dared to speak through the desolate silence they had put themselves into. The discussion had lost momentum and they just stared at each other with faces of slight disbelief.

"Who's on top?" Tanya finally broke the silence.

"..."

Serena disregarded Tanya's last question and quickly moved on. Even though she was the current crown princess, she needed to solidify her position before her parents. The only way to not appear less than Evan was to marry Tanya or Benjamin. However, a twist happened and now Evan had gained some favour again.

Suddenly, her position had come into threat again. She was indeed annoyed by this development but she did not dare give up hope. She wanted to be a true queen that rules over a prosperous nation, that was her dream.

"Anyway, Tanya, you do not have a place to sleep… why not stay in my room. There is room for you." Serena suggested calmly.

"I am alright with that arrangement, please show me the way." Tanya answered warmly. This was her business smile, she showed this to people she did not really find too interesting. In her eyes, Serena tried too hard to seduce someone she did not even love.

'If you don't like me, don't try to seduce me'

"It's just a few more doors down there." Serena slowly walked Tanya over to her dorm, only taking a short minute to get there without any shady figures following them or stopping them for questionable activities.

"Serena, I will go in first and go straight to the bathrooms. I need to take a shower because I got into the rain earlier." Tanya explained, opening the door since it was unlocked.

"What sort of crown princess are you? Leaving your room unlocked!" Tanya laughed unnaturally, although seemingly real to Serena.

"Are you mocking me?" Serena raised one eyebrow.

"I mean, if you leave your door open, who's to say a random pervert won't stroll in here to ambush you?" Tanya chuckled again, clearly seeming to mock Serena with her every line.

"Well tell me, is there any random pervert hiding her right now?"

BANG

"Yes, there was." Tanya's hand sounded as if it hid solid concrete, knocking something to the floor while out of site because of the darkness of the room

"This guy." Tanya held up an unconscious middle aged by the colour and threw him towards the entrance of the room.

"!!!" Serena immediately summoned her crystal ball to contact the security for removing the pervert from her room. She had not expected to see such a disgusting man hiding upon her room in the dark. She s.h.i.+vered at the thought of the pervert a.s.saulting her and ruining her royal status. She would never accept that.

"Well, I have done you a great favour for today. You can lock him outside for the security to collect now. Don't worry too much, I will just be getting my evening shower done now…" Tanya began walking off the bathrooms.

"Wait! You don't have any spare clothes, right?" Serena asked.

"I don't have any which I can access at the moment." Tanya responded as she opened the en-suite door and turned the k.n.o.b to the shower.

"Don't worry, I will get you some nice clothes to wear while you enjoy yourself in my premium shower."

Tanya went in the shower with her hair uncovered today. Her hair had become particularly dirty after being out in the forest for so long, forcing her expend the [Beauty] spell annoyingly often. 

On the amenities rack. Tanya saw premium lavender body wash, premium facial cleanser, premium toothpaste, and finally a premium shampoo collection. Such is the privilege of the royals. Serena had everything but still want more.

Even if this was for the sake of being a more competent person, Serena had yet to acknowledge that she is bad at holding conversations.

"I'm done with the shower!" Tanya shouted, slowly walking over to the clothes that Serena had prepared herself earlier.

"Hmm… black lace underwear and a maid costume with extra cleavage. This does not seem like a wholesome set of clothing to wear, Serena." Tanya complained, unable to bear the idea of wearing such seductive clothing in front of people she barely spoke to.

"Fine, I will get you some proper clothes, just wait a moment." Serena walked off towards the closet and eventually returned to her bed. Afte refolding some parts, she knocked on the bathroom door, leaving the clothing just outside.

"I am watching you, Serena." Tanya peered through and took the clothing, emerging outside within a few minutes, 

"So, Tanya, I have an extremely important proposal to make to you. This is not an order from a princess to her n.o.bles, but a request."

"What is it?" Tanya asked.

"I need your help with some sales advice to foreign nations, could you help with that? Everyone says you're a prodigy." Serena spoke clearer now, her back still mounted by stress.
