Wow, this granny sure held grudges.
With my temper, I wanted to grab her beak and spin her around, but the fault was in the parent who had put their child in her care.
Afraid that Haniel might get any kind of disadvantage once she began going to school again, I only nodded my head like a silly girl.
Of course. That was just so inhuman, I wondered how soone like him could exist!
[Please be careful of what you say. It is clear disloyalty to say such things about the royal Highness of the Empire!]
..oh, okay.
Even though Id taken her side.
As befitting for the embodint of etiquette and law itself, Lady lleo strongly scolded .
Being kicked was being kicked; apparently she hadnt thrown away her loyalty to the Emperor.
[Pheww, the matters of that day have been a shock to as well. Anyhow, I wonder why His Majesty ca all the way to Palladium Lake for.]
Th-that, Ive also no idea. Haha.
I tried to laugh as innocently as I could, but Lady lleo maintained her frostiness. Even as she peered at suspiciously, trying to see if she could glean so kind of indication from , she feigned ignorance until the very end.
shes definitely the type to get revenge.
Looking at the lady whod gone as far as to wrap herself in bandages where she had been kicked, as if to show it off, I couldnt bring myself to say anything to her.
Even if she was loyal to the throne, if she knew that it was whod brought the instigator, who knew what harm would go to Haniel.
Lets not forget, this years goal is a perfect attendance award!
A-anyways, Haniel fell sick at the shock of drowning, so it wont be considered an unexcused absence but a sick leave, right?
[That is indeed true, but to have a swan drown in water. Its a very big disappointnt.]
But that wasnt Haniels fault
It still wasnt too late to grab her beak and open her up wide, but I forcefully tamped it down.
For Haniel, who was tilting her head next to Selene in the corner over there, unaware of everything, I could endure this any number of tis, be it ten or a hundred.
A-anyways, once she learns she will be able to follow again very soon. Shes just very young.
[If the Duchess says so, I cannot deny, but I will be watching her very carefully in the future. To have such chaos at the admissions ceremony this is the first ti this has happened since this school was founded.]
Ahh, I see.
[Hmph! Please wait here. I will bring in her horoom teacher.]
Thank you very much.
For not marrying and remaining single,
And therefore not becoming anyones mother-in-law and ruining the life of a precious daughter from another house.
..
I gently gritted my teeth as I watched her turn away, still holding the grudge. Since she wasnt marking it as an unexcused absence, I would keep it down.
I quickly headed to where Haniel was with Selene and gave her this good news.
Baby, Teacher lleo said shell take you back.
[Weally? Whyy? Oh oh, I know!]
Her small chest fidgeting at the awaited news, Haniel shyly ca near my ear.
[Be-because Haniel pwetty?]
.thats right!
Thats exactly right.
I clutched at my chest as I looked at Haniel, with her red ribbon and a glowing face, her chest rising gently with each breath. Shed chosen that ribbon with her very own wing from the basket full of ribbons.
It was the sa red ribbon from that day, but its sheen and fabric was much more luxurious than that had been.
As expected, our princess has good taste.
[Mommy, is Haniel pwetty?]
Haniel tilted her head to the left, as if she was embarrassed but also didnt dislike it. Doing that was probably a habit she didnt even know of, and the thought made burst out laughing.
Of course. Lets ask nanny, too. Right, Selene? Isnt she really pretty?
[..very much so. A spectacular sight. Just magnificent. A gift from god, umm.]
She, who had been rambling on while staring soplace else, then hid her face under her wing a beat later.
