Chapter 9: NOT AS BAD AS THE RUMOURS
"The Prince and the Princesses are all under my tutelage." Vasily informed. She was about to continue but was unintentionally interrupted by Aristia.
*Yawn*
After the unnecessarily loud yawn, Aristia immediately realized that she had unknowingly interrupted the Viscountess.
She paused slightly and blinked, her eyes turning watery in response, which may or may not have been done intentionally. "Pardon my rudeness, Viscountess." She apologized for her rude behavior in that soft voice.
The yawn was real, though. She hadn't meant to let it escape her lips. [I was just bored of hearing information I already know.]
She half expected the Viscountess to not fall for her attempt at damage control and reprimand her or something but the Viscountess had a completely different reaction from what she expected.
"Adorable!" Viscountess Vasily blurted out unintentionally, her strict expression finally melting. "Ahem," she coughed and looked away when she realized what she had just said. "Pardon me."
"It's okay." Aristia replied, chuckling when she realized what Vasily said.
[So, it worked, huh?] She hid her smirk.
