Chapter 9

‘Ugh, I’m so tired……’

After riding in the carriage for quite some time,

when I opened my eyes, I found myself standing in a new building.

In front of me stood a gray-haired woman with a stern expression.

‘Gray hair with no patterns…… She must be from the whale family’s collateral line.’

The attendant handed me over to the woman.

"I entrust the young lady to you."

"Yes, we will provide her with proper education in our class."

I saw the attendant bow and leave.

He said he would return at the time when the education was over, just before parting.

The woman walked a bit and soon put me down in the hallway.

‘I’m entering here.’

During my previous three lifetimes, I only came to this place once.

In the first and second lifetimes, I was marked as a discarded card, deemed unworthy of education by my grandmother, and lived in isolation before being sold.

In the third lifetime, I managed to step into the educational institution, but……

‘I was only met with neglect and ridicule, and was soon expelled.’

For a whale, especially a direct descendant, being expelled was a great dishonor.

After all, they were the masters of this land.

However, I looked around without much regret.

It’s not much different from the third lifetime.

“Miss, I have heard a lot about you.”

I turned my gaze towards the woman who spoke. As expected, she had a stern expression.

I had met this woman in my previous lifetimes.

“My name is Laila, and I am the chief administrator responsible for the entire management of this primary educational institution.”

This woman was the administrator of the primary educational institution, a figure akin to a principal or board chairman.

‘She was a sharp person……’

I had no particular regret towards this woman.

That’s because of what happened in the previous lifetime.

There was a time when I got caught up in the mischief of some particularly nasty members of the collateral line.

When I came to my senses, I had been framed as a thief who had stolen someone else’s belongings, a truly humiliating situation for a direct descendant.

“This young lady stole my precious jewel! It’s a family treasure!”

“Yes, it came out of her bag!”
