Selma Payne's POV:
When I returned to my room, they tied my hair with a dark green hairband. Then, I looked at myself in the mirror. Although I was a little narcissistic, I had to admit that the person in the mirror was quite cute.
I walked out of the room. My mother was waiting at the door. When she saw me, she said with a smile, "You're so beautiful. When you were a baby, I always thought you were the cutest of all the children."
I was acting coquettishly with my mother when I saw someone walking toward us from the corridor.
The familiar figure and outfit, it was Aldrich! I could smell a fresh lemon scent on him. Although, compared to the smell of lemon juice, the scent on his body was more like crushed lemon peel, with a bit of bitterness.
I turned to look at my mother. She smiled like a sly fox. "The King and I wanted to send you to school, but we were busy, so we had to ask Sir Aldrich for help."
