Chapter 16
Anyway, the atmosphere was quite relaxed because of the caramel.
Alice held the bag in her arms as if it were an heirloom and she didn’t eat any of the caramel pieces. Princess Nina was trying the strawberry flavor, saying that it was her first time trying that flavor and that it wasn’t bad.
Cedric had a look of regret since he ate all the caramel pieces at once and his appetite was returning. Prince Nicholas was reading a book and eating a new caramel every five pages, and Jake……
“Come on, aah– try it, Mir.”
“Ah……?”
He said it was too much since it was double the amount, so he picked out the same flavors when he ate one and put the other in my mouth. Oh no, I ate a lot while making it yesterday, so I was getting a little bit sick.
‘But Jake is giving it to me himself, and I can’t say no. Oops.’
Thanks to that, I ate well like a baby bird.
……I actually ate too much sweet food and I was craving spicy food.
But there’s no spicy food in this world, damn it.
Anyway, by the time everyone had almost finished their caramel except for Alice, Mrs. Edmont came back after leaving the class earlier.
With an embarrassing expression, she gave us the good news(?) that the teachers who were in charge of education could not come because of a scheduling problem.
Oh, right. If education was already approved at this age, then early education would be provided for children of prestigious families. Before entering the academy, tutors were invited to teach basic social etiquette and various basic liberal arts.
However, the children attending this kindergarten now receive group classes instead of studying with a tutor. It’s probably because this is the Imperial Kindergarten so you can’t just play.
So the conclusion is that there are no classes today.
‘Hurray! I am not studying.”
To be honest, I was very pleased deep inside my heart but I put on a regretful expression, because if I showed my happiness, my image with Mrs. Edmont would be damaged significantly.
“Then, first of all, let’s have some free time. Also, lunch will be served at noon.”
‘Lunch?’
My eyes sparkled when I heard Mrs. Edmont’s explanation.
It was good news for us who only filled our stomachs with caramel and were getting hungry.
That’s right, you have to eat a lot and often at this age while you grow up.
‘What kind of meal will be served…… I wonder.’
In fact, while I was looking around the kindergarten building, I saw a separate facility that looked like a kitchen on the other side.
I was so curious about whether we will eat rice at a table in a group like in schools in my previous life, or whether special royal food would be provided separately in a lunch box!
Of course, our Marquis’s chef’s cooking is great, but it’s actually more delicious to eat group meals.
‘I’m looking forward to it.’
I was imagining dreams of eating in full swing.
Suddenly, I heard the princess’s clear voice.
“I hope everyone pays attention.”
“……!”
I turned my head and saw Princess Nina standing up from her chair.
Just in time, the door opened and I saw people in imperial servant uniforms bringing something.
I was surprised when I realized what the heavy object was.
‘Ah, no, that’s?’
The identity of the object was nothing but a wide table.
But I wouldn’t be surprised if it were just a table.
The table was painted gold and had an imperial crest inscribed in the middle.
It was the same table as the one that was placed in the imperial reception room.
Why is such a valuable item here…… Ah.
‘The princess and the prince are here.’
I immediately agreed.
Yes, in everyday life there isn’t a chance to use imperial supplies.
Opportunities like this are rare.
“We’re going to change seats. Everyone get up from your seats, we’re going to sit around this table.”
Following the instructions of the princess, we all rose from our seats.
Maybe a minute had passed. Everyone sat in a chair around the imperial table.
Nina appeared very satisfied.
“I heard you sit like this at the academy.”
No wonder you were looking at the seating arrangement earlier and making a face that you didn’t like it, this is why!
