Fruitless Effort
The next day, Sheila was feeling much better after a good night’s rest. Both her energy and stamina were full, and she woke up energetically.
As she raised herself vigorously, an unfamiliar blanket slipped off her body.
The windows were decorated with beautiful roses in pale colors. On the bedside, there was a bottle of fruit water and a basket full of fruit.
Sheila looked at them carefully and eventually smiled. For some reason, she felt like she could do anything.
After studying theology, the history of the Steitz Kingdom, and mathematics, it was time for lunch in the cafeteria.
Today’s menu was pot-au-feu and beef shank stewed in tomatoes. She slowly savored the flavor of the meat as she chewed it.
The special course would begin in the afternoon with swordsmanship practice. Today they were supposed to learn a sword dance in preparation for a technique performance competition in the fall.
“The technique competition is for students up to the third grade to showcase their skills, but there will also be a tournament held in the presence of His Majesty the King. Many nobles will also come to observe; if their abilities are recognized there, they can be promoted.”
“For us commoners and low-ranking nobles, it’s a chance to show off our skills. This year we finally get to participate.”
