His voice sounded extremely nervous, which made Rieta swallow her saliva unconsciously.
ăThe scored test paper⊠He asks to get it signed by a âguardianâ.ă
ăThink about it. Itâs a test you take suddenly, so how bad would you have done? Isnât that right?!ă
Rieta nodded enthusiastically.
ăCan you imagine standing in front of my father, in his office, with a paper that has all the wrong answers?ă
ăThat- that teacher is a devil!!ă
Rieta shouted without realising.
If she had to go to the Duke with such a test paper, she would be so ashamed, sheâd rather hide in the squirrel house.
âThen, Iâll prepare the test for next time. Itâll include everything from the beginning until where we left off today.â
Finally, Rieta had witnessed the devilish side of the teacher with her own eyes.
âSo you mean from the beginning of this book to where you learned today?â
âYes, of course, even if itâs not in the textbook, I have spoken of it in class.â
âThen next timeâŠ. Okay, itâs going to be next week since I have a word for the week. If you know what youâve learned so far, it wonât be difficult.â
âŠ.Rieta looked at him with an expression that suggested her soul had escaped her corporal body. However, the teacher neither canceled the exam nor extended the deadline.
What Noel said was right.
Rietaâs Imperial language teacher truly was a devil.
After the Imperial language teacher left, Noel came to Rietaâs room, keeping his promise to speak in Imperial for an hour every day.
He looked down at Rieta on her desk and called her name worriedly.
As Noel was so close, Rieta lifted her head to look at him, her expression frustrated.
âWhatâs wrong? You look like youâre about to take a test next week.â
The world must have ended for Noel to be so perceptive! Rieta nodded quietly.
ââŠWhat if the Duke thinks Iâm stupid?â
âItâs okay, we already know.â
When Rieta jumped up from his seat and screamed, Noel flinched unconsciously, stepping back.
She was one frightening princessâŠ
âJust kidding. But whatâs the test on?â
Rieta had only just started the class. Besides, the teacher wasnât one who tested ahead of the taught curriculum.
Rieta grabbed some pages of the textbook and showed them.
âWhat, itâs only that much.â
Noel crossed arms and laughed as though Rietaâs worries were unfounded.
Rieta was still in tears.
âActually I, on the first day of class, I meanâŠ.â
Rieta thought it would be nice if she could turn back time. She had reincarnated into the novel, so she thought she might have the ability to time travel.
The first day she met the teacher, Rieta didnât even know how evil he was, asking for a lesson that would ultimately lead her to doom.
âThe teacher and the Duke went around the mansion and so I asked to speak in Imperial of everything I could see.â
ââŠâŠYou, are you crazy?!â
âIt wasnât intentional.â
Since this is the place where she lives, she wanted to know the names of the things and places around her first.
The teacher gave the name of everything Rieta pointed to.
Rieta didnât know how tired he was and asked about everything inside and out of the mansion because she liked the friendly pronunciation and funny examples of the native speaker.
What was that? How about that? And what about that?
If she had known that everything she pointed to would be test material, she would have asked with discretion.
No, at least she wouldnât have asked for words she wouldnât need currently, like chicken beak, marble, or slaughterhouse.
âThis whole mansion has become your test zone! You fool!â Noel held his head in his hands.
âYouâre done! Youâre in for it!
Noel was having a rather unpleasant weekend.
The countâs son whom Noel met recently invited Noel again, requesting a sparring match. Of course, swordsmanship was basic knowledge for sons of nobility, so Noel willingly accepted.
The boys faced each other with wooden swords.
At first, they just clashed silently. However, as time passed, the boys began conversing a bit on swordplay-related topics.
