Chapter 102: Class Dismissed!
"Damn it!" She muttered to herself.
The Duchess, with her strict standards and an ironclad rulebook on noble conduct, had made it clear that Adeline’s education in nobility was a top priority. Adeline groaned, dreading the morning ahead.
This was not the plan! I repeat this was not the plan! She had seen with her own two eyes how scary the Duchess was. She commanded the room. And she would not give anyone a chance to refuse her!
Her words were the law. Adeline cried invisible tears, she was going to get hit, wasn’t she?
As soon as dawn broke, the maids rushed into her room to wake her up. She was still very sleepy and didn’t understand what was happening.
The room was bustling with enthusiastic maids, birds were chirping outside. The maids drew the curtains which flooded the room with light.
"The classes will be starting soon, Miss, no time to waste!" They tried to usher her into the bathroom to get her ready. But the child groaned, she didn’t want to wake up at all!
Adeline squinted, feeling every bit of her exhaustion. "It’s so early..." She mumbled, but the maids were relentless. They did not want to face the wrath of the Duchess either!
Adeline groaned as she got up. She never woke up this early before! She knew she came to the Eastern Duchy under the ruse of etiquette class but she didn’t think she would actually have to go through with it.
They guided her into the washroom, brushing and dressing her with practised efficiency.
Before she knew it she found herself in a spare room decorated like a classroom. The Duchess intended to do this the right way. She stepped in looking prim and proper, she didn’t like tired at all, unlike Adeline.
