The week started with presents, and neither Nico nor I fell ill, probably because we rested for a week . Once today ends, it will be the weekend, so it’s a day off . So, “Today ish thhe day Nii-syama comesh home!”
“It’s the tree-climbing day . ”
Chris only comes to the castle on days her sister, Felicia, does, so she doesn’t come every day, therefore she didn’t know if she would be able to take Nii-sama’s class until the given day .
“I’ll be here today!”
“Chris, ladies do not bounce around in public . ” Felicia escorted Chris to the castle and scolded her for bouncing . I stared at them . Chris is at the castle today .
I listened to their conversation and secretly learnt that it was alright to bounce when I grow up as long as it wasn’t in public .
After all, their example is valuable to me since I don’t have any adult women around me .
“Lei-sama, you’re thinking too much . ”
“I’m noth . ”
I’m not thinking . I’m just learning . Actually, Felicia seemed very busy, and she never came to teach me etiquette even though she said she would . I’m aware that I’m a two-year-old who didn’t have to worry about etiquette right now .
“Then, I’ll come back this afternoon,” Felicia smiled and said before going back to her work at the castle .
“Ish Fewicia shthudying thoday?” (Is Felicia studying today?) I asked Chris and she pulled Nico and I to a corner for a bit . But the maids and guards were still close enough to hear what we were talking about .
“No . Nee-sama said she wanted to join us during Luke’s class . ”
“Nii-syama’s?”
“Yeah . But, you know, it’s a secret . ” Chris put a finger to her mouth and made a shushing gesture . Nico crossed his arms and looked conflicted .
“Why? Luke’s classes are easy to understand . ”
His face said that there was no reason to keep it a secret .
“Nee-sama said a lot of things, but I couldn’t understand much . But, it’s a secret . ”
“I don’t know . ”
I turned to Hans . It’s too hard for me to explain, and it wouldn’t be a secret if Odds-sensei heard this .
“Ah, I’ll be talking to myself from now on,” Hans began talking without looking at us .
“Firstly, Felicisama has already graduated from the Academy, but is being taught by a younger Academy student . Secondly, they’re supposed to be equal, but her position is lower if she is taught by him . ”
“Isn’t it fine to learn something you don’t know from someone else?”
“That’s why Felicisama will be here in the afternoon, right?”
“I see,” Nico seemed like he understood .
“However, even if the person who is learning is alright with this, it doesn’t mean that others will be . Some people might not like it, and if they find out, they could stop her from learning . ”
“Hans, language . ” Natalie chimed Hans since his words were getting more casual .
“I’m talking to myself . ”
“Hansh, thhanwsh . ”
I understood . What about Nico?
“Some people won’t like it . They’ll stop her . That’s…”
“Nico, weth’sh go,” I interrupted Nico .
“Lei wanthsh Fewicia tho come . I’ww weep ith a shecreth . ” (Lei wants Felicia to come . I’ll keep it a secret)
“Me too . ”
“Lei and Chris,” Nico thought for a moment .
“A secret? Alright . Let’s go . ”
It’ll be troublesome if he keeps asking about this . I’ve never heard anything about the Remingtons . But, at my debut, and from my association with Chris and Felicia, I had a vague idea that the Remington House seems to be in trouble .
There wasn’t much a two-year-old could do . But I can at least do something that wouldn’t hold back someone from learning .
“Lei will fall asleep anyhow . ”
“Nico thhath’sh rude . ”
Either way, I’m looking forward to the afternoon .
“Nii-syama!”
“Luke!”
First was a hug . For some reason, we had the habit of lining up in order, Nico, me and then Chris, to wait for Nii-sama and Gill to hold us .
“Oh, Chris is here too?”
“We have to treat everyone the same or else it’ll be unfair . ”
“Then, okay . ”
She had gotten pretty big at five, but Nii-sama held her in his arms without dropping her and smiled softly as he spun Chris around .
“Fun!”
“That’s good . ”
“Lei wanthsh tho do thhath thoo . ”
“Alright . Oh, Felicia . ”
This was the first time that Nii-sama noticed Felicia who was smiling at Chris . By the way, Gill was holding Nico up high . He noticed Felicia at the same time as Nii-sama .
“Do you want to try, Felicia?”
“I’m fine,” Felicia refused straight away .
“I came here since I wanted to study with Chris today . ”
“That’s…”
Nii-sama gently lowered Chris . Oh, it’s supposed to be my turn .
“Felicia, you’re already 16 . You’ve already graduated from the Academy and should have started practicing how to channel your magic . I may have something to learn from you, but I don’t think you have anything to learn from me . ”
Nii-sama looked suspiciously at Felicia .
“It’s because I’ve just started training . I don’t think I’m weak, but I don’t seem to be as strong as Okasama requires me to be . ”
Indeed, I don’t think Felicia’s magic power is inferior to Gill’s or Marks . What’s there to be displeased about?
“I should have enough magic, but if I can’t use it well, then I have to train . ”
That’s true, but why is she asking Nii-sama to train her?
Nii-sama has been trained by Otou-sama since he was ten . It would be fine if the Remingtons did that as well . I’m sure Nii-sama is trying to say this . But Gill interrupted before Nii-sama could open his mouth .
“Luke, Mark and I were also trained by the Albans . I don’t think it matters if a Remington joins us . ”
“Gill . ” Nii-sama’s eyes were asking him why he was defending Felicia .
“Again, you don’t have to teach me . I’ll watch what Chris does and learn for myself what I’m missing . I just want you to allow me to be present and learn something from this . And…” Felicia looked down for a moment .
“I don’t want Okasama and Otou-sama to know about this . ”
“Some people don’t like it, and will stop Felicia,” Nico muttered .
“So that’s what it means?”
That’s what it means .
“We’re not doing much, but you can observe if you want . I also want to observe Lei’s, my sister’s class . ”
Nii-sama only smiled at Felicia . ‘Sisters are important, aren’t they? You can observe . Whatever you do during that time doesn’t concern me, so I won’t tell anyone,’ that was what Nii-sama was saying .
“Thanks, Luke . And Gill . ”
Felicia smiled in relief and became our study buddy from today onwards .
