Thinking things flowing the way Roger Alfius wants it to flow, my face started to turn dull until it couldn't be any more dull.
I feel like I have to admit. I had always thought Claude was the sickest person in the world but I want to cancel that. The one who is most sick is this white doggo infront of me!
To make fun of Roger Alfius, I hid my anger and made a thinging face. Then I spoke as if I was still thinking something.
"Eung, but Atti doesn't like friends who are stupider than Atti."
Was my reply too unexpected? It probably was unexpected that these were strongly shocked with my words.
"P-princess."
Kuckk. I think I am being sick right now too. But even so, it doesn't matter! Only if I can give him a big beautiful screw over!
"*clears throat* . She is a smart girl so princess shouldn't worry."
Ah, really? I smiled at his condident answer. Of course you are. Because its you who started teaching Jennet early for your future's sake. Then how about this?
I let out 'wow' as if I was excited for Mr White dog's answer and asked.
"Then can that girl speak Atlantan?[Mister White Dog Stupid Dog poop sea anemone]."
(The words in the bracket [ and ] are the Atlantan.)
Roger Alfius's eyes widened at my familiarity with Atlantan. But don't be surprised yet.
"How about Faskal official language? [White doggo idiot peeing everywhere. Bleh Bleh]."
(The words in the bracket [ and ] are the Faskal official language.)
"...."
"Psykansia divine language is easy so she should have mastered that. [God will punish the ones who lie]."
(The words in the bracket [ and ] are the Psykansia divine language.)
Roger Alfius was speechless when I spoke one of the lines of bible using Psykansia divine language. But there's still more.
"What about socials theory? She probably finished the 2nd book if she is that smart? Hmm, Atti is stuck on Beridingar functionalism theory because it was a little hard but did she finish Bill Rohitch? What about other subjects? Mana? Philosophy? History?"
"...."
"Uhh.... But since Mr White dog say she is that smart, she might not wanna be friends with Atti who can't speak Atlantan too good at this age.... Can I ask her to be a friend of mine is I finish what I'm learning right now?"
I asked with a sad, depressed face.
The area was dead silent now.
Ha, this respect. Looks like I studied with the teachers Claude sent me for days like today.
I only studied to look good in front of Claude but this is quite useful.
Yeah. I have a strong personality. I admit. But this Mr White dog started this! Hmph, how dare you try to push Jennet in my himeground.
Huh, but wair.... If Mr White dog's plan work out and Jennet gets to meet Claude earlier than the novel, wouldn't my day of death come faster?
Now that I think it this way, I got goosebumps enough for my hair to bounce up.
Gasp gasp. Crazy. The craze. This wasn't a problem to be mad at just for that he wanted to make me friends with Jennet while hiding her identity!
"...I knew princessAtanasia was smart through the rumours."
Right then, Roger Alfius spoke, breaking the silence.
"But looks like the rumours weren't enough to explain princess's smartness."
I was impressed at how he was able to gain his expression agaim. However his eyes still contained admiration.
"That girl took interest in studies early but seems like she can't compare to princess."
Of course. Even though she is the protagonist, she is 7 year old, the age of playing with dirt. And I knew I cheated on a 7 year old kid.
Eek. Now that I state that, this cannot get more embarrassing. Now there are more bad history in my book, and I will kick my sleeping blanket tonight.
But it wasn't a bad feeling defeating Roger Alfius so I should be satisfied with that. Now go away. Shoo shoo.
What?! That 10 year old kid is alreqdy around the same level as I am? Isn't that a lie?
Is this the feeling Roger Alfius felt everytime he met up with me? My pride went down at the words comparing me to a 10 year old kid.
"I will think about it if he doesn't look like Mr While dog."
Roger Alfius couldn't do anything about it now.
"Atti wanna go now."
I poked Felix with my finger to signal I wanted to go now. That is how duke Alfius left without earning anything.
When I glimpsed back to him, Roger Alfius was heading to Gannet palace where Claude was. Seems like he is going to try with Claude since he failed with me. Claude won't agree easily to his words since Claude always rejected him.
Eek, bleh bleh. Is there no salt here? I feel like I have to sprinkle salt everywhere since it wasn't a good day. Anyways is it real that Isekiel that kid is at the similar level to what I'm studying?
I felt bad thinking about it and pouted. But just then, Felix who seemed down since a while ago spoke as if he decided on something.
"Princess, I, as well, will work hard so princess won't be embarrased because of me."
Huh? For what?
Of course I just stared at him out of curiosity but Felix wouldn't answer.
* * *
"Now, stand up from the spot."
I was busy today as well.
"Now sit."
Sit! Stand! Wait! Kind of d.o.g.g.y training.
"Now walk to where I am right now."
This basic manners was exactly what its called a basic manners that I had to practice basic manners 30 minutes a day. Then I would have to move on to the next section.
"Princess's posture is very good due to early learnings."
Sounds like a compliment but trust me, its not. She is just complimenting herself since she taught me for 2 years and is better than any other kids my age.
Uwuu. Other studies are fun at least but manners? No fun no dreams no hope no proud.
Fortunately though, the time went on fast and the basic manners and composition class with countess Eloise past by fast.
It was afternoon when I finished my lunch.
"Obelia's luck. Have you been doing well, princess."
It's Altantan class now. After a quick test of word memorization homework last class, we began the class by reading and translating Atlantan.
The main thing in this class I did was with the words I've memorized last class, I was to mske a paragraph with it. Bue he must've thought it was too much for a kid like me so I only had to read out and copy down the paragraph he made with those words.
And after 2 hours of Atlantan, I move on to history. The one teaching me both was the famous scholar in Obelia, a very old man.
I wanted a good looking young oppa but whatever. The bus already left. Kuckk. To add I was learning socials theory from him too.
"We will end it here for today."
Yaaaay! I finished all classes for today! I yelled in joy inside from my happiness.
"Haha. I am proud as a teacher as princess knows 10 things from just 1 thing."
Ya ya, I am a little too smart. So justeave already.
"Then see you again tomorrow."
"Farewell!"
I waved my hand at the old white haired man. If it was that countess Eloise, he would hate it but for this old man, he liked it more when I acted like a granddaughter.
Like he said, I absorbed everything like a sponge. It was studying I couldn't do even though I wanted to do last life that I can do it here. It was fun.
Well sometimes there were days I really didn't feel like studying. And today would be an example for that day.
"Felix, Felix. What are you doing?"
I ran to Felix immediately after class.
I was bored these days because there weren't much things to do excpet for classes.
(CLT: Who here is going to sleep or eat when you have nothing to do?)
Ever since I met duke Alfius at palace Gannet, Claude never once called for me. Hearing from Felix, Claude ordered to not to visit to Gennet palace since there was an annoying d.o.g.g.y who won't get the concept.
I could only make a 'tsk' sound hearing that.
Mr White dog is brave. If you keep on doing that and Claude gets angry for real, you won't be able to go home that day or maybe forever.
Well, Claude is more clamer these days compared to the past. Compared to he who seemed like a walking time bomb, he was now very naïve even though it is not a normal naïve you say to other people.
"Ehh? What is this? Hmm, hmm?"
Anyways I attacked Felix with my what is it attack. Felix was the only one to play with me besides Lilly.
Felix was staring at something on the table with a serious expression, sitting on a chair. He was too focused that he didn't realize I've come. I walked to Felix and stood beside him, looking at what he was looking at.
"Ah, princess. Are the classes over?"
Felix then turned his head to face me.
"What was Felix doing?"
I asked in a tone of saying to stop what your doing and play with me. But Gelix just smiled as if he was waiting for that answer.
"U was studying Max Beridingar."
"Huh, max Beridingar?"
"Yes. I must know these things as a friend of princess."
H-huh? What's this?
I panicked at his words. Did he want to do it all of a sudden? Now I think about it, he was always carrying a book with him....
