Recap
"If I'm not mistaken he is the next heir after Duke Clades."
=========================
"Youn... Young mas... Young master!" I open my drowsy eyes as the sunshine hits me. I am not a morning person so I decided to turn my face away from the rays from both Gill and the sun.
"Young master! Today you will have classes with Mr Olga for History and Geography. Mrs Polina, Etiquette and Noble rank. Mr Ban who will teach you swordsmanship, archery and horse riding. Afterwards, Miss Daisy will meet you in her room..." The only thing I was feeling is being amazed at as how fast Gill said all that without pausing.
Gill starts his morning routine while I start to train my acting skill as I act dead in Gill's arms.
The usual routine that both Gill and I go through every single day. After all the cleaning, bathing and wiping, Gill was finally comfortable with clothing me.
Every time I look in the mirror, I saw how decently dressed I am and praise Gill internally. Gill bows as I start to speak, " I am ready, let's go meet the Clades and brother Avin."
I walk out of my room with Gill accompanying me as he walks slightly slower than my pace. 'I want to ditch all that absurd lessons. At the same time, I don't want to derail from the original story plot... what a horrendous life I have...'
As we finally reach the dining area, the atmosphere was as tense as the last time I was here. 'An ordinary scenery for family, indeed.'
After eating, more like staring at each other's faces with no emotions while chewing the food. I quickly excuse myself as the atmosphere is eating me alive, as I head towards the first lesson of the day, History and Geography lessons together.

It is tiring after the first class, it feels like having cram school once again. The second class isn't as bad as the first however it is similar to more information being chuck into my poor brain.
The third was where I died physically. Mr Ban made me run 5 laps around the garden for warm-up before swinging an actual sword made of many types of metal without proper rest. It weighs roughly around 3kg was what Mr Ban explained.
Fortunately, there was only swordsmanship lesson today. I had lectures with Mr Ban until the sun was setting which worn me out very quickly.
Gill wasn't with me the entire time when I had classes nevertheless I still feel safe as Gill had enchanted a darkness defence spell on the bracelet that Bethany gave me as a farewell memento. His magic seems to feel very warm when I touch the bracelet.
`````````````````````````````````
Name: Home to Spirits Seashell Bracelet
Item: Bracelet
Made by: Bethany Sanglith
Rank: E > C [Enchanted]
Guillaume enchanted his dark magic on this bracelet when Aust was fast asleep.

The only confusing thing is the name of the bracelet. ' ' "Home to Spirits" what are those... don't tell me they are ghost or vengeful spirits similar to Sadako* on earth. That would be extremely creepy. '
At least I know that it is an enchanted item. 'So it is a protective item right?'
All the thinking has worn me out as I head to the dining room. When I arrive outside the entrance Gill suddenly appeared to open the door and accompany me in.
I sat down waiting in the room. Thankfully it was only me in the dining room. Gill then serves me a new dish 'Mushroom pie'. It looks very crispy and flaky for a high-level class pie made by Gill. I had a hunch that Gill made the pie from scratch. I quickly start slicing it into 6 pieces and slowly consume the small pieces. After eating, Gill whisper to me, "Young master, Daisy wants to meet you in her room."
I frown as I was not sure what she wants, it feels like she is blackmailing me. I slowly got up from my seat and walk towards her room.

I anxiously wait outside Daisy's room.
I took a deep breath before knocking on her door. "Come in." I turn her doorknob and enter with Gill. Daisy was seated comfortably and smile at me.
She gave me a creepy smile and said, " Come sit beside me." I wait for a moment before slowly walking to her and sat down beside her. She stares at Gill with her death stare as Gill stares back. "Order your servant to leave, he is making me uncomfortable," I ask Gill to stand outside.
"I want you to do me a favour..."
"You know, I've always wanted a younger sister as my sibling," she said as she slowly grabs my shoulder. "You do understand what I'm talking about... RIGHT?" I look at her confused. ' So she wants me to cross-dress!!? It is not like it is so bad right? It is just dressing like a girl...'
"We can start with you putting on a skirt." I look at her confused. Daisy passes me her old skirt. I look at her with my eyes wide open, I took it and shove my urge to run away. Daisy turns away as I pull down my black shorts as I slip on the skirt. I kept thinking it is for brother Avin over and over again.
When I wore the skirt, she squeals softly in excitement.
"It fits you a lot! You can have my skirt as a present," she said as she smirks. I just smile as she approves the skirt on me. "You can take a look at your reflection on the mirror." The style reminds me of my middle school girl's uniform. Surprisingly it feels comfortable but just feels airy at the bottom.
"It is late, go back to your room." she smiles as she pushes me out of her room.
Gill looks at me, up and down then look away as he blushes. I cock my head to my right as I look at myself. "L-lets quickly head to my room and change."
