Chapter 226: It's Not Over Until It's Over! (1)
Tywin was greatly surprised. To think Cecily would fail the exam.
‘Well, I had a vague feeling this might happen…’
Cecily preferred playing over studying. She enjoyed noble leisure activities like visiting her friend Melody in the otherworldly duchy of 「Steg Maia」 or roaming hunting grounds with the Thunder Eagle Elizabeth. Though Tywin held daily one-hour lessons with the children at desks and chairs, only Hina listened attentively. Naru was the type to get distracted saying “Spring must be here!” while watching butterflies outside the window, while Cecily was the type to doze off.
“…I’m sorry. I should have made her study harder.”
Tywin bowed her head to the adults. Of course, none of the adults blamed Tywin. Tywin had taught the children diligently.
It was just that Cecily didn’t pay attention in class. Naturally, Cecily’s mother Cariote was quite shocked.
“Cecily failed?”
Cariote grabbed Cecily’s side and lifted her high into the air. Like felines when lifted up, Cecily went limp facing downward. Cariote shook the limp Cecily back and forth. A Roll— Roll— Roll— seemed to come from inside Cecily’s small head.
“I can’t believe Cecily is stupid, worse than Naru…!”
