Holy macaronis! I totally forgot the existence of the Academy!!With all that is being happening around and the development of my stores, my studies were completely neglected...
The good thing about the Royal Academy is that instead of being obligatory is more a status thing among the n.o.bles. Most of us only go there to build our social network and poach young talents instead of studying only.
I was one of the few who entered for the cla.s.ses offered. Although I retained my past life memories, there are many fields I"m a complete noob that would help in my plan of a peaceful life.
Different from the other n.o.ble ladies, beside attending the basic cla.s.ses which we are required to do once we enter the Academy, I also chose to do Agriculture and Economics as my electives.
And here my dear friends it"s where lies the problems.
My agriculture professor Mr. Dawson is a old man with a very grandpa friendly aura, and he really is very amicable, well, at least to those who aren"t his students.
Among us, his students, he"s called the Senior Demon. Strict, short tempered and obstinate, he doesn"t accept lazy students or disinterested ones.
Thinking on how many cla.s.ses I missed... hehe. Maybe I should just drop. I cannot begin to imagine how it would be once I attend his cla.s.s.
You may be thinking why I, the prime minister"s only daughter would be afraid of a mere teacher... let me enlighten you.
Senior Demon-San is teaching in the academy for about 30 years now, meaning even father"s generation was his student. This means at least 80% of the agriculture ministry was his student, making him one of the few people I have to be careful dealing with, since his students all highly respect him (as do I) and listen to him (...as do I?).
This is problem number 1, problem number 2 is my other elective teacher, Mr. Dawson Jr. a.k.a, Junior Demon.
Son of the Senior Demon, Junior Demon has always a smile plastered on his face and is quite handsome,being always courteous and pleasant towards the students. This gained him quite a few admirers and a s.p.a.ce on Julia"s harem as the hidden characters in the game.
Like his father, the good part is only a cover for his true personality. The truth is that he"s a big s.a.d.i.s.t who enjoys the suffering of not only his poor students, but whoever he get his eyes upon. In the game, he always likes to bully Julia and see her with tears in her eyes. Of course, the tears could only be made by him and no one else, otherwise this guy would go in a rampage.
As if they thought a s.a.d.i.s.t teacher was not enough as a character background, the game"s developers put another layer on him: he"s also the chief of the country spies.
How a simple teacher from a scholar background became one of the most dangerous persons on the kingdom was never explained, but the fact is my future is grim because of the pair of father-son.
As I exited the room I could hear Carl"s concerned voice but none of his words registered as I stormed off the building. Inside the carriage, I tried to formulate countermeasures to my current predicament.
Drop was not a option, unfortunately. I just offended the Royal Family and offending two more powerful figures wouldn"t be the best approach. It would not only hinder my future, but also my family, especially father who needs to interact with all of them constantly.
The only option left is to appease their anger, but how? Senior Demon, I probably could handle. If I bring him some new method (plagiarized directly from the other world) and discuss with him, he probably would only grumble a bit but let it pa.s.s.
The problem was Junior Demon. I"m sure he will not only punish me because of the cla.s.ses missed but also because of Julia. I can only hope his interactions with her were limited by Albert and he"s not to attached to her.
Getting home I started to prepare two projects for each professor having my shallow modern knowledge as base. I tried to put less mistakes as possible in them, but I"m not exactly the pro here, so I could only try my best.
By dinner time I was exhausted but still went to dine with my family.
Sitting at the table with all family members, I glared at each one of them.
"What is it Cecile? Do you have something in your eyes?"
To my Mom"s obvious sarcasm, I only snorted.
"Onesama, did I do something wrong?"
My cute younger brother looked at me with testy eyes and wronged expression that almost made my heart shred in pieces. Urgh. How can a child be this cute?!
I patted his head with a rea.s.suring smile.
"You didn"t my angel, but the other three *Hmph*"
Dad put his fork down and just looked at me, waiting for my explanation.
"Why no one in this house asked me about the Academy?! Don"t we have a image to maintain or something among these lines?"
"Tsk"
Hm? Did Mom just clicked her tongue? Why is she pa.s.sing something to Father? And why Nissama is giving both of them something? Wtf is happening here?

"Who told you about the Academy? One more month and I would have won!"
"...what?"
"*cough* Cecile, didn"t you make the exam to receive the diploma early?"
"Eh- not exactly... I-I forgot about it. If not Carl today..."
"*sigh* it seems I really lost"
"*hmph* I told she should have forgotten to attend it. If not for this Carl your Father would finally take me on a date after all this time"
"Now, now my dear. Even if you didn"t won, we will go next weekend on a date okay?"
"You can"t go back on your world!"
Like this a confusing family dinner pa.s.sed without me venting my anger. Later I found out that my parents and elder brother made a bet to see if I have forgotten or only graduated and for how long I wouldn"t attend the Academy. My family seriously surprise me sometimes.
Sigh. Leaving that aside I hope tomorrow goes as peacefully as it can be.
