"Come on, Nar and Sas! Let's go, go, go!" [Diana]
"Coming. You are really excited" [Nar]
"That's because I can't wait to see my results and have you praise me!" [Diana]
"Someone confident" [Sas]
"I'm absolutely sure I'll pass at least!" [Diana]
"That's good" [Head Maid]
"Are you sure you won't join us?" [Diana]
"It's fine. I am glad that you think so highly of me, but this moment is especially meant to be shared with your two brothers" [Head Maid].
"Okay!" [Diana]
Today is the day that our exam results are announced. Usually, I get scared and avoid seeing my results early, but not today. I feel confident about my performance in the final exam, so I am looking forward to it. There's no abnormal weather today, and both Nar and Sas are taking a break before going to Emas, so they're free to come along. I wear my favorite red dress that resembles the fairy queen Titania, while Nar and Sas choose a blue-black noble suit. They're handsome! They're definitely not the usual dead fish! I couldn't believe it! Even the maids agreed, which made my two brothers blush.
With our automatic carriages, we go and get Neloufa first together with her parents. She's beautiful! She's wearing my pink colored dress with a hair band that has pink lilies in it, complementing her red colored long hair. Her parents look fantastic too
On the way, instead of talking about the exam, we talk about our upcoming performance with Miss Vita at Emas. We practice hard, with Neloufa reciting her lines while I use my magic to make her more beautiful. Her scripts are getting more and more lines every day because of her efforts to portray the cute fairy, so much so that the scriptwriters had to change a few scenes, but the scriptwriters didn't care because they were obviously having fun. Maybe it's because they saw how hard Neloufa practiced that they felt it was all worth it.
At school, of course, the first person we all see is
"Auntie Amleth!" [Diana]
"Energetic as always" [Amleth]
"Good morning, Your Highness" [Neloufa].
"And you didn't faint when you saw me, in fact that's a nice etiquette in your greeting. I am impressed" [Amleth].
"She's definitely getting better" [Kara]
"Indeed. Besides, we are getting closer as friends" [Mara]
(She has indeed improved a lot) [Sas]
(Although looking at her parents is like looking at Neloufa the first time we met her) [Nar]
Neloufa's parents become stiff when they meet Queen Amleth. When the Duke, who is Marianne's father, arrives, they become even paler. Of course, Tio and Adnan with their parents are reluctant to join our conversation, but I just drag them along. It's no fun!
"I also wanted to know about your parents! I only met them a few times!" [Diana]
"Diana, behave yourself!" (She puts them in a difficult position.) [Nar]
"We can get to know them properly at a tea party or something later" (Let's not put too much pressure on them) [Sas]
Nar and Sas greet them formally and arrange to meet. That's great! I can hardly wait! As we speak, the exam results are out and as expected, Kara, Mara and Marianne share first place! They got a perfect score on the theory part! What's unexpected though is
"Number five... You're not cheating, are you?" [Sas]
"How rude! Of course I'm not!" [Diana]
"Truly unexpected... But that's my little sister for you! Smart and cute and strong!" [Nar]
"Hahahahaha! Praise me more! Praise me more! Lift me higher in the air" [Diana]
"Sure, my genius little sister! We should celebrate this with the Special Knight or the Adventure Guild!" [Nar]
"Let's go, go, go!" [Diana]
Tio scored number twenty, while Adnan scored number twenty-five. Neloufa's performance also improved. Last time she shared a similar grade with me, but. now she's number thirty out of all students in our year.
"Attention all parents and guardians, we will soon begin our parent and child meeting with the classroom teacher. Please enter the room when your child's name is called. As for my class, Little Amleth with Little Kara and Mara, please come in" [Merlin].
There are little bird puppets flying around in the corridor, transmitting Master Merlin's voice to all of us. Of course, when she called Little Amleth just now, Auntie Amleth let out a sigh, while the nobles around feel that it's rude. For the commoners and their parents, it is frightening that Master Merlin can call Aunt Amleth so casually in public. I guess Master Merlin is just special, not that I should talk when I greet her with a hug and call her Aunt Amleth.
One by one, and finally it is our turn. I'm sure Master Merlin and Ms. Tiara will give an excellent report.
"Although she got a good grade in theory and almost a perfect grade in the practical exam, there are still many holes in her knowledge, mainly because she didn't study enough on her own. She has a good memory, which helped her a lot in the theory part this time, but if I tweak the question, I'm sure she wouldn't score nearly as high, so something she needs to improve. As for her behavior as well as her skills, I'm sure you two know better" [Tiara].
"There is that. Still, even I am surprised by this. I will certainly treat you! Look forward to it!" [Merlin]
"Yes, I will!" [Diana]
"Thank you for what you have done for her throughout the year. We appreciate it" [Nar]
"Still, it means we have to teach her more manners" [Sas]
"I can't lie to myself! I am the best when I am happy like this!" [Diana]
"Please, just behave properly next time" [Tiara]
"Boo..." [Diana]
We wait for Neloufa's and once she's done, we take our carriages and went to the local cafe for a little treat, but, something unexpected happen. We thought at first that it's an abnormal weather, but
"Snake with a man's face falling from the sky!"
"What is this! There's blood everywhere!"
"Somebody help! Somebody help!"
"It's huge! Is it really a snake?"
What strange weather. Of course, Nar, Sas, and I went to investigate, but we couldn't find any clues. What's going on here?
