The Young Lady Tames the Main Leads

Chapter 86

Contrary to my first impression, Ninaina was quite soft at heart and generous. Some time later, Ninaina called Alice.

“Lady Alice, would you come here?”

Alice, who had just entered the classroom, approached our way without knowing what it was about. Ninaina said, “Lady, pick a hat, too. You know we have an outdoor class today, right? The sun is hot, so you must wear a hat.” To Alice, who was stunned by the sudden offer, Ninaina urged her to choose quickly without hesitation. Maybe that’s why Alice said, ‘Uh, uh,’ and she hurriedly picked up a hat and picked it up. She picked a simple beige hat.

“Well, I’ll use this-this…”

Since there were no decorations such as jewels or feathers on the hat, she seemed to choose the most inexpensive one. It seemed that Alice was still unfamiliar with receiving gifts. Upon seeing Alice’s choice, Ninaina asked with her arms folded, “Really, it’s this?”

“Yes……”

“Are you sure? If you want to pick another one, you only have 5 seconds to do so. 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.”

In spite of the opportunity, the five seconds passed quickly. Alice’s choice was still the same. Looking at Alice, Ninaina said, “Lady Alice, I didn’t know, but you must have a very good eye.”

“Yes?”

Alice was startled by Ninaina’s sudden words. Either way, Ninaina smiled and explained, “Because this hat is more expensive than the other hats. It’s a hat made of precious leather fabric from the eastern continent. You’re great to recognize this.”

“That……!”

I thought it was the cheapest, but found out that it was the most expensive. Alice’s face turned pale when she realized the truth.

“Don’t worry, just use it. Because I have dozens of these hats in my closet.”

Ninaina left the frozen Alice behind, waving her hand coolly. “Then let’s get going!”

Then, Mrs. Edmond’s voice resounded in the classroom.

***

Near the kindergarten, the large field was surrounded by the mansion of nobles and the forest. The carriage stopped there, and soon after we got off the carriage, we all shouted joyously.

“Wow…!”

The reasons for the exclamations varied from person to person. But perhaps the biggest reason was feeling the freedom outside for the first time? Everyone must have been born as the scions of the royalty and the nobles, and grew up only in mansions and kindergartens, so this must have been their first time out in the natural surroundings. Besides, there was no child who wouldn’t like to run around to their heart’s content. Including me, of course. At that moment, Mrs. Edmond spoke, “Come on. Everyone, please sit down.”

There were six ordinary chairs and a table on the grass. I glanced back and saw dozens of imperial escort knights guarding us. So reliable.

“Today, we will take a class to appreciate the scenery of nature and write a short poem.”

I nodded at the teacher’s words. Various flowers in harmony with the grass. It was so beautiful even though it wasn’t artificially raised by someone. It was clear that beautiful verses would be framed if I wrote it in a place like this.

“You must not go outside where the escorts are guarding. Please feel free to roam around only within the boundaries.” After the teacher’s request, we started to disperse. In fact, even if we had to disperse, we did not go very far because the area we could go to was limited.

“Mir! Come with me.”

“Ok, good.”

Just in time, as soon as Jake had finished speaking, he approached me. He looked at the hat I was wearing and said, “It’s the hat that the Crown Princess gave you earlier. It suits Mir so well!”

“Really? Thanks. I guess I should have asked her to lend you a hat too. What if your face gets burnt?”

I was a little concerned but then I saw Jake with his bare face, and covered my mouth with a sigh. Jake shook his head.

“I’m okay. My skin doesn’t burn much.”

“Still……”

I recalled the memories of my previous life. They said that if you went out without a parasol, your skin would be damaged. So, after reincarnation, I didn’t go out without one.

‘Ah!’

Jake said it was okay, but I was still worried about Jake’s precious skin, so I came up with a good idea.Just by putting the cloak I was wearing over Jake’s head, it could act as a substitute for a parasol!

“Come on, use this. Jake, let’s cherish our skin.” It might look a little funny, but…

Fortunately, Jake didn’t refuse. With that in mind, we walked together towards the spring flowers in full bloom.

‘Well, it would be good to sit here. It’s just warmed up properly because of the sun!’

And after fiddling with the flat rock, I suggested it to Jake who was next to me. “Let’s sit here, Jake. My legs hurt if I stand still. Looking at the flowers here, let’s think of poetry together.”

“Did your leg hurt?”

“Huh? No, it doesn’t hurt yet! And did I ask you to sit down because I was worried about you.”

“Ah, worried…”

Jake didn’t utter another word, instead, he meekly took my hand and sat down on the rock.

‘The gentle breeze that blows softly. After all, spring weather is the best.’

I sat down on the rock, closed my eyes, and enjoyed the breeze. Kindergarten that entered during the cold winter. And it’s been a month or two since that day. It seemed that spring had arrived.

“…Where do you get the strong scent of flowers?”

I half-opened my eyes again. It’s not like that, but it’s like the scent of a flower that was gently blown by the wind is getting stronger.

‘And the sound of footsteps running… huh?’

As I turned my head, I saw a figure of someone. It was Alice. She was perspiring and seemed like she was running away from something.
