CHAPTER 1ADVENTURE IS EVERYTHING
“Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit; nam nec metus ut tellus suscipit.”
Shadow is fighting a bad guy. She kicks the bad guy and falls through a broken window.
Shadow's mother, father, and their guests are surprised by this entrance.Shadow smiles nervously at them.
Shadow’s mother and father start scolding her.
Shadow’s Mother: “Enough with these mischiefs already!”
Shadow: “Come on, Mom, I just fought a bad guy. It’s not that bad.”
Shadow’s Mother: “You could have gotten hurt—or worse, that bad guy could have hurt you—or even worse, you could have died!”
Shadow: “But I didn’t die because I defeated him.”
Shadow’s Mother: “Thank goodness you didn’t die. If you had, it would have been a huge shock for us, and we couldn’t have gotten over it, young lady.”
Shadow’s Father: “And also, you broke a window of the royal palace. This palace was inherited from your great-great-great-grandmother, who was a respectful, rule-abiding, prestigious, and kind queen. When you grow up and after we pass away, you will become the queen. You will be responsible for this palace and for the citizens.”
Shadow’s Mother: “You are a princess. Therefore, you must follow the rules, attend classes, behave prestigiously, and be a kind and respectful princess.”
Shadow: “But I don’t want to be a princess! I want to be an adventurer. I want to fight bad men, bad women, and monsters. I want to live adventures! I don’t want to live with boring and silly rules!”
Shadow’s Mother: “I’m sorry, young lady, but you must follow the rules, attend classes, be respectful, prestigious, and kind. You must not risk your life for adventures. That's why we're sending you to a reputable school where you will learn to be more respectful, kind, and rule-abiding. You will no longer fight bad people or meddle in dangerous affairs.”
Shadow: “But Mom—”
Shadow’s Mother: “No buts! Until you become more respectful and kind, you will attend classes and stay there, young lady. You need to learn how to be a prestigious and polite princess.”
Shadow’s Father: “Your mother is right, young lady. You must learn how a princess should behave.”
Shadow: “But Mom, Dad, I don’t need to go to school! I'm already a respectful, kind, and prestigious princess.”
Shadow’s Mother: “No, young lady, you must go to school and learn how to be a princess.”
Shadow: “But Mom—”
Shadow’s Father: “No buts, Shadow. Discussion over.”
Shadow: “Ah, alright. I’m not happy about this at all."
Shadow’s Mother calls for Alter, points at Shadow, and says, “You can take her now, Alter.” Alter nods and leaves the room with Shadow.
An hour later, while driving to school with Alter, Shadow mumbles to herself:
"Alright, fine, I’m naughty and break everything. But they’re also disrespectful and unfair. The rules are silly! Everything is silly! Besides, I was never happy living in the palace anyway. I never wanted to stay there. They say I shouldn't put myself in danger and that I must be a kind, prestigious, and respectful princess. Ugh—"At that moment, the car stops, and Shadow sees the school, shocked."—even better!"
Alter turns to Shadow: “Here are your school uniforms, shoes, room number, and everything you need. Have a nice day.”As Alter drives away, Shadow mutters, “Hmm, well, it’s bigger than I expected. I thought it would be a small place. Well, here we go, let’s do this. Breathe in, breathe out. Stay calm, Shadow. You can do this. It’s just a school—it shouldn’t be that hard,” trying to calm herself.
Talking to herself this way, she reaches the front of the school.When she enters, her excitement continues.
Shadow: “Alright, now what should I do?”At that moment, she notices the registration desk with her clothes, shoes, and room number.
Seeing the secretary's questioning look, Shadow asks:“Where can I put my belongings? I have a number with me, but I don’t know what to do.”
Secretary: “Huh? Oh, you must mean your room number.”
Shadow: “Yes, my room number. Could you tell me where it is? I’m new here, you know.”
The secretary smiles warmly at Shadow's friendliness and reaches for a form.
Secretary: “Ah, well, umm, of course! I just need your first and last name.”
Shadow: “Uh, sure!”
Secretary: “Okay, your full name?”
Shadow: “Shadow Shadow Grix! But you can call me Master Adventurer.”
Secretary: “Ah, haha, alright. Your room number is 122. Have a good day, Shadow—Master Adventurer. :)”
Shadow: “Oh, um, thanks! Have a good day!”
As she turns around to head to her room, she realizes she didn’t ask for directions.Returning to the desk, she sees that the secretary is no longer there.
Shadow: “Alright, guess I’ll find it myself,” she says and starts walking.
After walking for a while, she reaches the corridor with the rooms. She is sweating from carrying her belongings and walking.
Looking around, she sees a girl with blue hair and bright yellow school clothes standing by the door at the far end.
Shadow: “Excuse me, is this room 122?”
The girl hesitates, looking at Shadow’s face, so Shadow thinks she’s at the wrong room.
Shadow: “Wow, umm, guess I’ll leave then. See you!”
Altona: “Wait, what did you just say?”
Shadow: “I said I guess I’ll leave?”
Altona: “No, before that.”
Shadow: “Umm, wow?”
Altona: “No, before that.”
Shadow: “Is this room 122?”
Altona: “Ah, yes! This is room 122.”
Shadow: “Ah, really? Finally! I won’t have to walk to the other corridor. Hooray! And you must be my new roommate, right? Sorry for almost leaving, I’ve been a bit absent-minded lately.”
Altona: “Ah, it’s no problem. You must be the new student, right?”
Shadow: “How did you know?”
Altona: “It’s obvious from your clothes. Plus, they told us a new student was coming this year. And… your feet are bare.”
Shadow: “Ah, right!” she says, quickly putting on her shoes.At that moment, the class bell rings.
Altona: “Oh no, the bell rang!”
Shadow remembers that she must change into her school uniform before class.She turns to Altona and asks where the changing rooms are.Altona says they are on the right side of the corridor.
Following the directions, Shadow finds the changing rooms, puts on her school uniform, socks, and shoes. She is now ready.
When she steps back into the corridor, Altona is waiting for her.Shadow notices the clock ticking.
Altona hurriedly grabs Shadow’s hand.
Altona: “We have to go now! Let’s go!”
Shadow and Altona run to where the other students are gathered.Shadow is amazed when she sees the students.
Altona is still pulling Shadow by the hand.
Shadow: “Wow!”
Altona: keeps pulling her.
Shadow: “Hey!”
Altona: “Sorry!”
Shadow, still amazed, looks at the students again: “Wow, the students look awesome!”
As the students talk among themselves, a march-like music starts playing.All the students look up.
Altona: “We have to go immediately!”
The students start moving.
Shadow: “Where are they going? Ahh—”
Altona pulls Shadow by the hand.
At that moment, a man passes by them.Shadow feels that he’s a bad man.When she turns and looks at him, the man grins.
Shadow: “Wait a second, what is that bad guy doing here?”Forgetting where she is, Shadow follows the bad guy.
Altona calls out after her: “Hey! What are you doing? We can’t move when the music is playing!”
Despite Altona’s warning, Shadow follows the bad guy.
When she catches up, she sees that the bad guy is laughing with the principal.
Principal: “Ah, so we can make our deal, right, Mr. Heinz?”
Mr. Heinz: “Yes, we can, Mr. Humps.”
The principal looks around cautiously, then hands a bag to Mr. Heinz.
Principal: “So, where’s mine, Mr. Heinz? You know I’m not a patient man.”
Meanwhile, Shadow tries to understand what she’s witnessing.
Mr. Heinz: “Of course, there’s something for you too,” he says, handing something to the principal.He continues: “Have you ever thought about ruling the world—or your school—in a better, more peaceful way?”
While asking this, Mr. Heinz secretly draws out a knife.Just as he moves toward the principal, the principal notices Shadow and stands up.
Principal: “Shadow! What are you doing here? Lost your way? Looking for the bathroom?”
Shadow: “Uh, I…”
Mandies approaches them and asks the principal: “Who’s this girl?”
Principal: “Oh, she’s the daughter of the Grix family. Shadow Grix.She’s the Galactix Purple Pearl Princess, heir to the royal bloodline and the throne.”
Upon hearing this, Mandies smirks, bows down, and kisses Shadow’s hand.
Mandies: “It’s a pleasure to meet you, my lady. I am Mandies Heinzberg, Commander of the German Armies.Meeting you is an honor.”
At that moment, Altona rushes over and grabs Shadow’s hand, pulling her away.Shadow protests: “Hey!” and then looks back at Mandies, who is still grinning wickedly.
