Chapter 11
I decided to sit down. It would have been nice if there were many options, but there were only six chairs in this spacious room. Sadly, the gap between the chairs was wide enough so you couldn’t reach the person next to you if you stretched out your hand. I held Jake’s hand because he didn’t want to sit away from me and I chose from one of the remaining two seats. I sat in the left corner.
‘Oh, the chair is made for royalty.’
The chair with a soft velvet cover seemed to be about my height and the cushion below was very wide, so it was good to lie on. Is this the privilege of the elite kindergartens?
Just then, the door opened again.
Since all the students were already here, it was obvious that it was not a new child. Is it a teacher?
I heard that someone will be teaching us just like a class in the academy.
Perhaps that was correct, a woman in an elegant purple dress appeared.
She greeted us and wrote her name on the blackboard in front of her.
Countess Margaret Edmont was her name. Mrs. Margaret will be taking care of this temporary kindergarten. She said that she used to be Her Majesty’s maid of honor.
“Please call me Margaret.”
She said that politely because her status was lower than the students’.
Immediately, Princess Nina stood up gracefully and spoke.
“No, Countess Margaret, I will call you teacher from now on.”
“……!”
Everyone was surprised.
The only one who wasn’t was Prince Nicholas who kept reading his book calmly. Prince Nicholas glanced at his younger sister with a knowing look then turned back to the book again.
“Hah, but I can’t. How can I tell the princess……”
It was clear that she thought she could not be called such a precious title because she was not a real teacher.
“In the academy, people like you are called teachers or professors, so I’ll call you that. This is an order.”
“I will follow your orders, Your Highness.”
It was an order which couldn’t be helped.
Following Nina’s words, we also called her teacher.
It doesn’t even matter who you are, rules have been made to speak respectfully to her.
This was all done following the will of the Princess, and the Crown Prince said nothing, so everyone decided to follow the rules.
I liked using the word teacher because it was a title that was familiar to me.
There seemed to be a child who didn’t like it, but let’s ignore that.
“Mrs. Margaret, what will be the first class?”
Jake bravely asked the first question.
Cool, Jake! I clapped my hands in my heart. I was quite timid, so I couldn’t easily speak up in this atmosphere.
No, I was like that in my previous life. It looks like I’m too stubborn in the waters of the world.
“The class…… has not been decided yet. We’re going to introduce ourselves first. We need to start introducing ourselves. Who will go first……”
Mrs. Margaret answered awkwardly.
It seems that she was not used to the honorifics yet.
Well, then I’ll let you get used to it!
I don’t know about going first, but I’m confident in going second.
I raised my hand up and shouted. No, I was going to shout.
“I’m far away……”
“I’ll go first.”
If only Princess Nina didn’t stand up in an elegant manner.
Thanks to her, my hand that stretched out embarrassingly slid down.
Oh, I’m embarrassed. I’m embarrassed.
It’s like a stranger greeted me on the street, but it turned out that they didn’t say hello to me.
‘Ugh. I want to go back for five seconds!’
Fortunately, no one seems to have noticed what I did.
Everyone’s eyes were on her, not me.
Nina slowly opened her mouth.
“I am Nina Chloe Betelod. The First Princess of the Imperial Family of the Goldhark Empire. I am 6 years old this year. Then I’ll finish introducing myself.”
“……”
There was a brief pause in the crowd.
I immediately raised my hands and started clapping just in case the silence lasted for a long time.
I clapped my hands, followed by Jake next to me, then Alice and Cedric at the end looked at me and clapped their hands.
