After reuniting with Nina after a few days away tending to the Mazzanti family's business, Vicente spent some time with her, listening to what she had been doing at the academy lately.
Things were going well for Nina. Though she was ostracized by some prejudiced students from local wealthy and aristocratic families, she had her friends and was well-liked by her teacher.
At the same time, a new director had recently been appointed to the academy, and some of the new staff hired by this person were very kind to her.
All in all, Nina was doing well and was learning a lot. If everything continued the way it was going, she might become a scholar in the future, which would be the best scenario of all from Vicente's point of view.
He even planned to speak to Newton on Nina's behalf when she turned 10 to ask him to welcome her to his study place. But that was something Vice wanted to wait for.
