Chapter 1380 - A Tough Beginning

Chapter 1380 - A Tough Beginning

Call!
Jimila flapped her cape, walking out of the room with a frosty loom in her eyes.
Lucy, Lucy, Lucy...
'If I can't bring you back in my reign, then don't expect to love longer!'
Like so, Head Witch Jimila was ready to unleash her wrath and make a name for herself in Witch History!
And just as she had the burning zeal to complete her goals, back in Baymard, quite a few others were now burning energetically as well.
.
--The Capital City, Baymard--
.
Late. Late. Late!
A young girl leaped past the hallways running at top speed with a sandwich in her mouth.
"Miss Dina, slow down... You're going to fall at this rate!"
The young girl swiftly threw her head behind her shoulders, peeking at the suited maid holding beddings behind her.
"Thanks, Aunt May! I'll be sure to pay attention!" Tilda had a hint of helplessness in her eyes, talking past the slice of bread she firmly held in her mouth.
That's right. Tilda, A.K.A Dina was now running late for her lectures.
And what was even more ironic was that unlike Linda and the others who had to leave the palace for lectures, she was 'homeschooled' and yet always arrived 1 or 2 minutes before the class began.
It wasn't that she was last or anything, but that she genuinely had a poor sense of direction, running through these many halls.
Can you believe that she has lived here for 7 whole months and still couldn't master every nuke and cranny of this place?
This could not be blamed on her.
In District A, the only thing one could see is the Royal Palace.
If modern people came here, they would no doubt feel as though the palace landmass was similar, if not bigger than Walt Disney's.
And bear in mind that there was always expansion in the palace.
.
The Palace was decided in many sectors, some for public tourists and fun activities, while others for public government or civilian visits.
And then there was the sector only private to those staying in the palace.
To not cause any suspicions, Dina and Paige (Grandma Paula) all lived in the guest buildings.
But the thing was that Dina had her classes always scattered around various locations within the private sector.
Landon had done this to keep her schedule always moving, lest someone suspicious tried to master her movements.
She was fluid and always on the move, changing her class location once every week or 7 days.
But the issue was that, though she would personally bring her to her class location on the first day of the week, for the other days, she sometimes got lost.
Sigh... Brother Landon had said it was all part of her training, allowing her to sharpen her sense of direction and her eyes.
If she can't even master how she got here or there, then if she were out on a mission, wouldn't she get lost in someone's estate or home if it were her first time there?
As a future Monarch, she had to do better when doing simple tasks.
She was already 14 and a half.
And though she had come of age in Veinitta, here, she was still a minor until 15.
She was homeschooled for this period, focusing on the basics and foundations.
.
When she was first accessed, Landon was shocked that her father didn't even allow them to teach her simple addition and subtraction.
F***!
Even the children of Barons here in Pyno knew of simple arithmetics.
Say no more. Even ordinary guards knew this much.
And from what Paula told him, he was sure many in Veinitta knew these simple basics.
For Tilda, she seemed to know only how to spell and write.
Even her language knowledge was very poor, making several mistakes here and there.
Thus, all this time, she had only been focusing on the basics.
If the foundation of a home were poor, then the house would eventually collapse, not being able to hold more weight.
And unlike the others who had long and short holidays between each semester, Tilda's case was different.
She had no long holiday periods.
Instead, her schedule gave her ample time within each week for a holiday.
She had 4 days a week for classes, Mondays to Thursdays.
During these days, Ethics, Nobility & Leadership Courses, Sword fighting, hand combat, math, languages, both Roma and Pyron, were taught diligently.
After Thursday, She could do what she wanted.
Notably, on Thursdays, her class schedule daily was less than average, allowing her to do her homework on this day if she was competent to catch the drift - Might as well do it and enjoy your 3 days of fun.
Don't think that she didn't have friends of her own.
.
When she first arrived, she began her journey of seeing the most pillar Baymardian sights.
Sometimes, little Ren, Linda and Momo would accompany her with their friends.
And on other occasions, she would only go with her Nana.
However, what was ironic was that she made her friends when she went out alone.
And since then, they had been close, with her visiting their homes often.
It was a big accomplishment for her to have her own set of friends.
Thus, she cherished her free days very much
However, no matter how free she was, she still practiced her swords and stance because every Saturday morning, Landon evaluated all royals in the private underground gym.
Whether one had slacked off or not would be fairly easy to tell.
To wield a sword, being good in hand combat, and many others also meant discipline.
And as a future monarch who will subdue her enemies, how dare she slack off?
.
Tilda glanced at her watch with a pale expression.
No. No. No!
'I can't afford to be late, or else the consequences will be dire!'
Be late? No way!
Tilda picked up her pace with a firm expression on her face.
And as she rushed, a faint green glow at the back of her neck.
