If I had to say, I am quite soft on others as well as myself. Regardless, the young servant seems to be overbearingly hard on himself. I felt sorry to have done something I shouldn't have.
Afterwards, the young servant left the Gavizera house and said to reimburse his faults on another day. While I was unable to stop him, I secretly asked a favor from my grandfather and asked him to re-employ the young servant to serve him.
And so, the incident brought the chance for me to brew the coffee by myself and taking the chance together, I decided to bake sweets as well and asked to be taught from the chefs working in the Gavizera house.
My family members seemed unconsent of my actions but after Schneider followed up and told them 'I asked her to do so', I was given more time other than my classes to make them. As the fiancé asked of so, my family members have no choice but to oblige.
Thus I was taught the ways of brewing coffee and tea, as well as baking sweets. The time I spend on the trial and error was fun. Further, the drinks and sweets I serve to Schneider and my grandfather was liked by both of them.
As time pass by and we both turn 12, we entered the elite school San Crisante Academy. All the noble sons and daughter enroll in this academy. Moments before my enrollment, I studied under a demon instructor and I studied until I almost puked blood. The results brought me to getting the highest score in the entrance exam amongst the ladies. I continued to achieve first in the exams which followed later on. But that did not mean anything to my family, instead, I was expected to get first and nothing else even though my parents and brother did not achieve so.
If by chance I did not take first, I would definitely be scolded as I had brought shame to the Gavizera family. Their eyes speak of so.
I then started the dorm life starting my second year and spend by days with studies. My family persisted that I live in the dorms to work hard in achieving valedictorian. Apart from school studies, I had to juggle them with the classes my mother assigned to me.
Even if the studies was far more than my student life in my previous life, but not meeting with my strict family was a leeway for my heart. The studies on magic was interesting, and dorm life was fulfilling. To add, I am able to create a better relationship with Schneider.
On another fine day, I and Schneider sat beside each other on a bench at the garden's greenhouse, where warm light illuminated the place. While enjoying a cup of fragrant coffee, Schneider faced towards me with a serious expression.
"Rhonya"
The blonde hair shining brightly and almond shaped blue eyes, his features are that of a prince of a fairy tale. As Schneider took the coffee cup from my hand and put in on top of the table, he tightly grasped both my hands.
"Let's kiss"
That sudden moment I was befuddled as I look upon his fiery blue eyes.
Although this is a political marriage which both our parents decided, I want to be in love with you, let's rear love with each other. Just like the words Schneider said, he treasures me much.
We gradually became able to hold hands and join our arms, and recently became able to kiss on the palm and cheek. But, what Schneider demanded was a kiss on the lips.
"That… wasn't it supposed to be decided after we graduate? We're still 13 years old right now."
"Just a kiss. Please?" His eyes filled with conviction wavered my heart. If the future ends up as the flow of the scenario, I should refuse his request. But Schneider, looking towards me with love made me want to believe in him. Schneider could.. would bring me towards a happy end. As I believe so, I accepted his request.
As I take a deep breath and slowly closed my eyes, nervous beyond my imagination. My heartbeat getting quicker, my body stiffen.
"Rhonya… I love you"
Schneider and my lips touched.
As I slowly opened my eyes, Schneider turned slightly red and content, smiling towards me and I returned it with a smile.
—That was my wish for a miracle, my first love and my first kiss.
