The Little Duchess’ Home Tutor

Lesson 4 First Class

The interview with the Duke was concluded and the class began tomorrow. By the time we arrived, it was almost evening.

Dinner was rustic but delicious. They basically eat the same ingredients as the average household. "That's the Northern tradition". I think it's a good tradition.

Wine recommended, but crying resignation. I need to get ready for tomorrow.

On the train, I put it all together - the last check.

The next morning, I finished breakfast and went to my room.

They'll come and get me when it's time. Get up to speed and wait.

With that said, I didn't see His Highness yesterday at dinner, today at breakfast.

... Did you tease me too much yesterday?

"And excuse me."

"Go ahead."

It was Ellie who came in. Yeah, I figured the real people weren't uncomfortable.

I'm nervous.

"Oh, my lady is waiting for you. This way please."

"Yes, yesterday's luggage, thank you"

"Yes, no! Me, it's a maid's job…"

I'm staring at you.

Ha? Did you do something so alarming?

... I can't remember. Well, come on. You'll get used to it.

Proceed with her guide through the mansion. This direction...

"This way. Because you're in there."

"Thanks"

"Hih, hih! Um..."

"Oh - I'm sorry"

I stroked it with all my habits. Why don't you? That being said, it was the same yesterday.

I see, I didn't like that - I need to reflect.

Keep your head down on Mr. Ellie and go inside the greenhouse.

Moving on, I saw the room. What a luxurious construction. Duke, that's really sweet.

"Go ahead" voice when you knock. The temperature is well controlled inside. Proper temperature.

Bookshelves to the ceiling on one side. If you look closely, there are many rare and old books.

... How much does it take to build and collect this? Let's not think too much about it.

His Royal Highness is sitting in a chair writing something. I noticed this one, so the meeting took place.

In a hurry, I get up from my chair. Today's clothes are white based and clear.

"Good morning. Nice to meet you, should I say?

"... Dr. Allen is a little mean"

"Aren't you a maid of honor today? It was adorable. You look great today."

"... Ya, I knew it, it's mean!

"Ha. I'm sorry. I'm Allen. I'll be your teacher for the next three months. Minor force, thank you."

"I'm Tina Howard. says, at the beginning!

Put your hands on your hips and watch this one.

I know he's going to be doing his best, dignified, but um... if he's not tall enough, he just looks like a little kid stretching his back because his image was too strong yesterday.

"First of all, it is forbidden to call me Your Highness or anything like that from now on! I'm going to be your teacher's goddaughter, Tina, so please call me."

"Ellie said yes."

"Hey, no! No more! Please don't break your lower back of the story. Next, it is forbidden to lie about me. Even if it's hard to tell, I'm ready."

"Okay. I won't hesitate."

Much of this, I care.

I'll also teach you how to get rid of your shoulders in the future.

"Finally, after your studies, um..."

"Yes."

"Praise me that day if I can do well."

"Oh, is that so? It's good."

"Huh?"

"Noble people haven't been praised very much because of their excellence for a long time, have they? So I'll be happy to compliment you, and your grades will grow. Even if you don't tell me, I'm a big praiser."

"Oh, really..."

"Okay, Tina. Time to get started. Oh, before that."

"Yes! Eh?"

"I shake hands. Nice to meet you."

"- Best regards,"

Smile and hold that little hand.

I'm only 13 years old. When I was that age - no. Don't remind me. You're only gonna get a headache.

And even so, it was only 4 years ago. Go far if you think.

"Let it be, Doctor. Well... it's time for you to let go..."

"Oh, I'm sorry"

"No, it's good..."

"Today I want to know first what Tina is capable of"

"Is it strength?

A decent look.

Yeah, I knew this kid, he's adorable. In a few moments, I guess I'll be a great beauty.

"You know the Royal School entrance exam is divided into written and practical skills, right?

"Yes, of course."

"And Tina has no practical skills at all"

"... Yes"

"Then we should hit the practical moves for the next three months if we can. I can't even allocate time without knowing how much writing I can do at this stage."

"Sure you're right...... how do you know that? The Royal School exam should be refreshed every year. He says it's hard to deal with."

"Oh, that's a lie"

"Ho!?

Interesting face. Store in jewelry so it won't fall apart.

Keep talking.

"In some Royal Schools, exam questions have patterns. However, everyone just doesn't realize because that pattern isn't made in years, but decades, or hundreds of years if you suck. Damn, I'm having trouble with the school director because I live longer."

"... I mean, you think it's possible to take written measures?

"Yep. I've made the problem too, so solve this today"

His majesty's face was adorable.

but the night I took the exam (and praised it as I stroked my head properly), after scoring, I was confused.

- In conclusion, this young lady, Lydia's best friend.
