Episode 8

After the delay I had at last arrived at the infamous dark empire. The guards stationed at the entrance requested identification and the purpose of my visit to their empire, prompting me to introduce myself and present the signed agreement between both emperors. Only then did they allow me to pass through.

Since the academy is a two-hour journey in the main city near the castle, I plan to rest at an inn in this village. I need to change and arrange a few matters regarding the lodging for my guards.

After a break and a refreshing bath, my nanny helped me dress and style my hair. I intend to go out and find a spacious house with ample land on the outskirts of the town, as I need a place for the guards to stay and train. They also have the task of training Will.

Will: (knocks on the door) Miss, your carriage is ready.

Descending with my dear Nana, I board the carriage. My nanny and Will do the same as the house will be registered in both their names. That's why I'm going to purchase two ducal titles first, from now on my nanny shall be called:

Alexa Agastya

And my handsome lad will be Will Agastya

From now on, they will be the siblings of my late mother, and my only family.

Some time later...

I succeeded in buying the titles as well as the house, which indeed became the property of the Dukes Alexa and Will Agastya, my now maternal aunts and uncle.

After getting everything organised, I set off for the academy, a two-hour journey. Only my Nana and two guards will accompany me; the rest will stay in the new house, their new home. Whenever I find the time, I will come to see how things are going and the progress of my dear and handsome uncle.

As for my businesses, I plan to start branches here as well, the trade is very good. My Nana, now with the title of Duchess, will handle that. The title eases the process of acquiring a location for business.

Thank goodness, after two long hours of travel, I am finally at the main entrance of the academy.

Guard: Welcome, Princess. The maid will take you on a tour of the academy to familiarize you with the place, then guide you to your quarters and give you the timetable for your classes. They start tomorrow at the first hour.

Yes, after a comprehensive tour of the academy, I am finally in my room. Nana is in another room to the right, and the guards in a different room to the left. Each one is furnished. There's a bed, a desk, a wardrobe, a mini library, and a bathroom. It's actually not bad at all, it's quite spacious; compared to the hovel I lived in, this is a mansion.

The maid gave me the schedule of my classes. The first is etiquette, the second, accounting, the third is managing the gift (skill, magic), the fourth is embroidery, and the fifth is elective, which allows you to choose what you like. That's why I signed up for sword and archery. Even though I already handle all the classes I'm going to take, it doesn't hurt to keep perfecting myself since I have a goal that I will fulfill.
