I'm Simply A Chick Magnet

I felt as if there were bombs being dropped on my head, after hearing her words.

Lucille. That Lucille in my class who gives the most adorable reactions when I say something nice, is a princess?

That same Lucille, who pulled me down by the collar and threatened me, was a future queen??

Really!? That girl is a princess???

Who would've thought that the first girl I met in this world, would actually be someone who could one day be powerful enough to change the economic landscape of this world?

What kind of sick twist is this?

Isn't this a little too much when the story has just started?

But it all makes sense now.

Her unparalleled beauty, that made me wonder if I've ever seen a girl as beautiful as her in my life, her noble temperament and the elegant way she composed herself, the shock I saw on my classmates faces when I joked around with her, the arrogance I saw deeply hidden in her when she threatened, and the aggressiveness she brought to the table when she pulled me down by the collar.

It all makes sense if she was a princess of an entire race. 

I knew there was something suspicious about her before. But I never would have expected it to be because she was a princess.

But even though it was a mind-blowing surprise to me, I quickly calmed myself down and continued walking, putting the matter behind me to think about another time.

Considering the fact that I was the protagonist of this story, it shouldn't be too suprising that twists like this take place. And I should probably expect more grenades to drop on my head in the future.

Astrid caught up with me once again, this time the brightness in her eyes more apparent than usual, as if she were very curious about something. 

Before, it was I who had to keep up with her pace because of her long strides. But now it was her who was following me with curiosity written all over her face. 

She lost the cool doctor look she once had. And now she looked like a student looking at her professor, to ask for doubts and expand on a subject she was very interested in.

"Did you really not know that she was the first Princess of the Human Race and the one that's been told to be the reincarnation of one of the Matriarchs of the Human Race, Eva, because of the similarity of appearance she has with her?" 

Astrid shot out her first question, while bending down a little because of our height difference.

"I really didn't. How am I supposed to know she was some sort of princess when I just met her today?" I sighed

"But wouldn't you have already seen her before on TV or in the newspapers? She's been one of the most talked-about figures on the continent ever since she was born because of her status as the First Princess. So there's hardly anyone that doesn't know about her."

"I've been living a recluse life, away from all the media and drama, my whole life, so I don't really know about that." 

I dodged the question, since I couldn't say I was from a different world without her thinking I was crazy.

"Wait! Did you just say that you just met the princess today?" Astrid asked in surprise. 

"Then how did you get so close to the princess, to the point where you could even fight with her without fearing the consequences that it may bring?"

Consequences? 

I'll face retribution just for fighting with her? 

How does that work out? Is it because of her status as a princess?

Am I going to be beheaded on my first day in this world?

"As a matter of fact, I only met her about 15 minutes ago, when you asked her to call me out. So you could say you were the initiator of our relationship."

"What?! You met her just before you met me? And I was the one who initiated it?" Astrid was shocked at what I said, with her mouth slightly open.

"Then that makes it even more bizarre that your relationship developed so fast, to the point where you were holding hands with one another, in less time than it takes to finish a cup of good tea."

"Just how did you get close to her so fast, when I've never even heard of her associating herself with anyone else in this school ever since she joined?" Astrid asked eagerly, as she got closer to me, wanting to know how I got close to Lucille so quickly.

Honestly, even I wanted to know the reason, as I don't really believe a few cheap compliments from an average-looking individual such as myself, can make her want to associate herself with me, when I'm pretty sure that she's already heard so many other compliments and praises from others because of her beauty and status as a princess.

There has to be another reason as to why she was willing to get closer to me, when she's never associated with anyone else in this school, like Astrd said.

I'll probably ask her, the next time I see her.

But I couldn't say that to Astrid, so I joked and said

"I just tend to have an effect of attracting ladies without really doing anything, since a very young age..."

I then looked at Astrid, who was right next to me, and said, with a smile on my face

"See...We just met a few minutes ago, and you're practically hovering over my face right now...Don't you think I have that innate charm I speak of."

Once I said that, Astrid realised that she was walking very close to me, to the extent of our shoulders bumping from time to time as we walked. 

She was even bending down to hear me better, which looked very intimate from an outsider's view, as if she were a very tall wife attending to her short husband.

She blushed when I pointed this out, and quickly took a step back in a flustered manner, to put some distance between us.

While she was feeling embarrassed for unintentional intimate actions right now, I asked while looking around.

"Is the classroom you mentioned around here?"

"I-It's right over there."

She pointed at a room at the end and dashed over there to unlock the door. But in my eyes, it just looked like she wanted some space from me, after that embarrassing moment, which was really something you wouldn't expect from someone with her cool and calm appearance.

After unlocking the door, she went in, and I also followed her in. 

But before I could fully enter the room, I was blocked by her huge figure in front of the door; when she abruptly turned around and looked down at me, looking like she was contemplating over something impossible.

Her massive chest was right before, which made me have thoughts of walking into them, and acting like I didn't notice her stopping. But I stopped myself, when I saw that she looked like she was pondering whether to let me in or not, for some reason.

"Can I come in? Or should I pay a toll for you to let me through?"

"No, I'll definitely let you in...But before that, I'd like to ask you a question, or else this would all be meaningless." 

Astrid replied to my joke with a serious look on her face, as if this question would completely change her original intentions toward me.
