Chapter 75: School Opening (IV).
Kein's POV
The photos were each given for us to keep, we took a couple more before Vivienne really couldn't hold her pee any longer and I had to rush her to the nearest bathroom there was, thankfully she made it.
"Whew!" (Vivienne) breathed a sigh of relief as we went back into the carriage. Having a kid ans I would have to experience more threatening situations than these. "Thank u, Moma."
At least her little thank you made it all worth it.
"You're welco, Vivienne."
Finally with nothing else hindering us we left the estate getting inside the family carriage.
I could see Alfred tucking his photo inside his vest with a smile, I took mine and stored it in my [Storage Ring]. The photo of all of us four and the one where it was only Vivienne and I.
We all sat inside, Vivienne was getting more familiar with her surroundings. She sits down and looks out the open window of the carriage, I sat beside her wanting to care for her safety.
"Let's be off then." (Baron Hills) orders and soon the horses trotted with a loud neigh. The sound of the wheels rolling through the ground could be heard.
"Hyah!" (Alfred) holds the leash leading the horses out as the carriage moves.
The gates of our ho opened, guards saluted and Vivienne waved cutely right by the window to those guards leaving them smiling. I would like to at least have my heart settled on knowing that everyone back at ho loves little Vivienne.
.-.-.-.-.
The ride was a short one, soon we were already there seeing the entrance of the school being blocked by so many people.
"They're here!"
"It's Milady Hills and the Baron!"
"Thank you so much for this!"
I could hear their abrupt cheers and there were already several guards guarding the entrance pavent for us to cross.
I believe it was mostly parents with their children, so of them were already wearing the uniforms that would be required when attending.
After all they would be free for the first school year opening.
While I could see there were so journalists on the side, hoping to get so inside scope for the first school opened for the public.
"Whoa..." (Vivienne) shrinks back from her seat seeing so many people cheering in one place. "Moma they like you?"
"It's more of- they like what our family has fought for them." I tried to explain feeling a little embarrassed. I never ant to do much in this life as Kein Rosenguard, well Kein Hills.
I was... planning to go onto the quiet slow life but it had other plans for .
"That's right Vivienne, your Moma here thought well. It's about ti we needed proper education for the people, so may not agree but for your grandpa-" (Baron Hills) smiles reaching his hand out to pat Vivienne's blonde hair. "Grandpa believes education is sothing everyone has a right to have."
As a professor from my past life, I agreed with every bit of his words and that made respect more of father's figure. The education system was a bit flawed, to there will never be a perfect system for that.
It will really depend on the students, their passion, peers and instructors.
I'm looking forward to what the new school has to offer.
Vivienne was trying to understand what our words an being so young. I suppose she'll have so ti before she would worry about such a thing.
"I'll enroll you into the academy once you get a bit older, you'll et new friends, learn new things and get along with your classmates I'm sure of it." I tell Vivienne with a smile, seeing the expression on my face she raises her hands up to my cheeks and pats both of my sides before giggling.
It's like relieving the mory of my old daughter when she first tried going to elentary. How alone she was.
My daughter from earth was... not interested in making friends but her nose was always on her books or her phone.
While there was nothing wrong with it, I wish... I could've t any of her friends she made and rely on them to take care of her since I've passed.
I don't have any relatives left- and thankfully I settled my will that everything I own will be handed over to her before I die.
"Moma school want to go." (Vivienne) pouts and I laugh seeing her little chubby cheeks suddenly fill up with air.
Now her face looks similar to a hamster.
"Like what I said, when you get older we'll put you to school." I take her hands and wrap them around mine. "I hope you'll like it by the ti it cos."
"Indeed and rember to study first before anything else." (Baron Hills) cuts in and tells Vivienne of how important studying is rather than just lazing around
The carriage stops, I could feel Alfred coming down from the coach seat and seeing his figure walk around the carriage until he reaches the door and opens it for us to exit.
Father decided he'll be the one to co out first, seeing guards patrolling and taking control of the cheering crowd.
We could rest our mind easily for Vivienne's safety.
"Co on, Vivienne, let's go and see the school now." I offer my hand to her and she takes it, I carry her by my arms and exit the carriage.
I look around seeing so many people, shouting different things.
"It's Milady!"
"Goodness , is she wearing a suit?"
"I didn't know she had a kid."
" neither does that an she's engaged or married now?!"
"No that couldn't be if she has then we would have known about it!"
I waved my hand a little feeling embarrassed that they were talking about instead of pressing school matters.
They care more about my personal life than the opening it seems.
"Kein-!"
Up in the front Lenard walked up to us and he called my na. The mont he realized what he did he chuckles nervously correcting himself.
"I-I an Milady Hills! Welco!" (Lenard) bows, and behind him it was Ellis bowing as well. The two gave a warm welco and I was glad to see them so soon.
I rember the last ti I saw them was at the festival, revealing Rose's real identity that she was no normal person but soone from royalty.
Vivienne's eyes sparkle recognizing the two, even wearing their new uniforms tailored to fit. "Uncwle!"
Grey robes with green linings, and a mortarboard by the head.
"Oh Vivienne!" (Lenard) eyes the little girl happily and notices the uniform she has. "Aw you're too young to be enrolled in our school so I'm guessing that's for getting into the school spirit."
"Hehehe!" (Vivienne) giggles nodding before cuddling more closely to .
I laughed, reaching my hand out to shake Lenard's. He chuckles a little too, taking mine, shaking it firmly.
I couldn't contain my smile seeing the ring on his hands, the engagent of Lenard and Ellis were sothing to look forward to in the future.
"I'm delighted to be here, Principal Lenard. Though I don't think I'll ever get used to you calling milady." I tell him and reluctantly he agrees, nodding not being used to it but he still tries now that he's no longer part of nobility.
Being disowned by my uncle that rarely appears.
"I-I'm still not used to it either. Even now I'm taking the role of principal... It feels surreal but it's certainly not a bad thing to hear." (Lenard) tells with a smile on his face, liking the title of principal being hooked to his na.
"It certainly does." I looked around and saw the crowd expecting for the event to start. So many people ca to the opening and I'm glad I could recognize a few. "Is everything ready so we can start?" I asked Lenard who nodded quickly leading the way.
"Ah yes it is, please follow ." (Lenard) escorts us into the stairs outside the building.
Just going up there holds the school entrance right in front of it was a podium and a red ribbon being held by two teachers.
There were a few staff already there, newly hired teachers and professors. I could see that there were more fairly young ones than old.
"Milady, please let take the young miss so you can make your speech." (Alfred) walks up to and offers his hand to take Vivienne.
"Moma?" (Vivienne) sees Alfred's hands taking her and she turns to with a sad look. I patted her head for a bit and made sure she knows that she'll be safe with him while I address the crowd.
"It's alright, Alfred will be with you for a bit. Moma will have to do a small speech so we can finish everything and then be on our rry way." I tell her and with the expression on her face looking sullen but at least she understands.
She obeys and stays with Alfred as they walk into the corner.
I fixed my suit, patting it up and down to straighten the crumpled parts while I went up into the podium, looking into the eyes of the crowd. Taking a deep breath, it made rember how far I ca.
From Kein Rosenguard that was abused to be kept in a closet, to soone trying to make a difference.
There wasn't any mic so I had to rely on my voice alone. I waited for everyone to be quiet while I took on several sheets of paper script from last night.
The small whispers and murmurs soon stopped.
