Chapter 112.1
Royal Academy of Magic
As the adopted daughter of a Layton baronet, I was alone in the Royal Capital one month before I was about to enter the Royal Academy of Magic.
Sera, a quasi-baroness and a knight of the Dark Side in charge of guarding the Queen’s Palace, used a carriage to get to and from the castle because of her position, but as the daughter of a low-ranking noblewoman, I didn’t have to ride in a carriage or accompany her every time I went out to the city.
It was winter, but it never got cold enough to snow in Cleydale Kingdom, located in the continent’s south. I pushed open the door of the store I’d arrived at, dressed only in a one-piece dress and a light coat.
“Gelf, are you here?”
I called out to the back of the empty store, and from the back came a strangely dressed male dwarf wearing a red mermaid gown and high heels that made tapping sounds as he walked.
“Oh, my, if it isn’t Aria-chan. Have you gotten used to life as a young lady?”
“No problem. Is everything ready?
“…You’re still a little slow on the uptake, aren’t you? The things are ready. The designs are the latest ones from Dandol, but I’ve adapted them in my own way. I’ll teach you how to wear them, so please come to the back.”
“Okay.”
