"Have you done what i have asked?" Princess Beatrice was actually the haughty girl i saw the previous day.
Princess Beatrice in my opinion doesn't seem to be a really good person. I can tell by her demeanor that she is prideful. She kind of reminds me of my brothers in this life. Which is quit weird.
One is a princess another is a barons son. But there is just something between them that is quit similier. Though i really can't grasp what it is.
I kept my observation of the princess as i served her tea along with the other maids. Milady went away for a moment before presenting all the home-works she had done.
"Huh? Is that what you have completed so far? That is so pathetic!" Another person from princess Beatrice's side said in a haughty tone. This is princess Rosette. I am not sure what she is doing here. But she seems to have some sort of amenity with milady as she kept saying rude comments to her.
As far as i know, standing wise Princess Rossette isn't very high in royal family. But i can tell that Princess Beatrice favors her. Which might be why she is so blatantly insulting milady.
I took a side glance at milady. As expected, the girl is as terrified as last time.
I mentally took note of this.
I might need to help the girl socialize a bit more fluidly.
As i planned some way's to help milady, i caught something from the corner of my eyes. When the three princess were reviewing the home work. Another maid walked towards milady very suspiciously.
I clearly spotted the maid making frequent eye contact with princess Rossette.
And that is when i knew something was about to happen. With Princess Rossettes attitude towards milady, i knew she was planning something.
So i immediately spread out my gods aura. Wrapping around everything around but not affecting anything.
"Kya!" As i thought. Right when the maid walked by milady she tripped in to nothing, and fell. The tea in her hands spell out.
Thankfully with the gods aura fully spread out i was able to control the trajectory of everything. And so, i made sure nothing touched milady. The hot tea spilled around milady not touching her and the shattered tea cups flew around still not touching her.
"Ah!" Milady squealed out in surprise.
And then the space fell silent.
Even princess Beatrice who had eyes on the papers looked up at the scene. A dissatisfied grunt escaped her. Princess Beatrice doesn't seemed to be pleased. Even princess Rossette who was smug moments ago seemed to be panicking.
"You how dare you trip my maid!" She suddenly lashed out.
Hearing her accusations i could guess what Princess Rossette was trying to do.
She probably initially wanted to embarrass Lady Azure by pouring hot tea on her and thought she could laght it off as an accident. But seeing that Milady is unharmed and Princess Beatrice is not happy on the disturbance, she decided just blame it on Milady. After all the end goal is to embarrass her.
Obviously i can't let that happen.
This time i was a bit angry. Which is rare, i can usually control my emotions in check. It was never a problem to me.
But maybe seeing milady being targeted like this for no reason does prick me a little.
Is it the sense justice.
Honestly i don't think so. I was never such person to act on impulse. I would argue that the two day's i spent with Milady, made me feel little bit closer to her. I never had a daughter or a younger sibling. So this kind of urge to protect them is a first for me.
I couldn't help but give a silent glare at Princess Rossette. Even the dissatisfied Princess Beatrice started accusing her. As the two continue to accuse milady without giving the other person a chance to talk.
I gently wrapped my gods aura around Princess Rossette her arm swing in a certain trajectory.
This time another silence took over. Because Princess Rossette's arm had knocked down a cup of tea. And beside those cup of tea all the homework papers were placed. So naturally the tea spilled all over them.
A few seconds passed in silence. And then came the Princess Beatrice's wail and true scream of anger.
.

.
Let's just say, the next moments for princess Rossette wasn't very elegant. Princess Beatrice was literally fuming with anger that her homework was ruined by Princess Rossette's carelessness.
'Hm, so they weren't that elegant after all.'
Milady was given permission to leave and told to redo all the homework.
Well at least Princess Rossette was given some harsh words in front of every one.
"Why are you chuckling Milady?" I asked as we made our way back.
"Sister Rossette was really unfortunate today." She said.
"Do you not like her milady?"
"She often does bad things. So i don't like her." Milady said. "Anyway, let's forget about that. Yesterday, i discovered some better way's to control my magic. Do you want to see?" She suddenly proclaimed proudly.
"Oh, i would love to." I wonder what she is so exited about.
When we reached the gardens, i sat bellow a big tree as she started performing.
Magic flowed through the air.
Forming droplets of water.
I have always wondered about magic. But alas, i can't use it. Even though gods aura is very powerful. I feel like it is not as versatile as magic. And also using gods aura too much wares my body down. With my already somewhat frail body in this world, that just feels bad.
Where over usage of magic just makes you feel dizzy for some moment.
.
The flow of water was smooth and rhythmic. At least compered to the previous example she showed.
*Clap!*
*Clap!*
*Clap!*
I clapped. "That was a great display milady!"
"Is that so..."
A glint of shyness could be seen under those eyes covered by her hair.
"Certainly, milady. That was very good!"
"I see..."
I could feel she was happy.
'Sigh! Poor child, must not have had much complements before.'
Strangely looking at her happiness, i also felt happy. Could this be called the happiness of raising children?
I always thought that raising children would be a hassle. But i guess not.
Previously, I never, got in to a relationship. Simply because i like to be alone. And dot want to burden my mind with unnecessary things. But i guess that is entirely not the case.
There seems to be something about socializing too attached to the human mind.
'I guess i would observe some peoples relationships around town.'
"Milady, how why don't you show me some more constructs?"
"Sure."
.
.
.
"Do you really have to go home?" I couldn't help but look at the girl that resembled a lost puppy. And found myself internally chuckling,
"Yes,milady i have to go now." I said. The poor girl might feel lonely since she does not have any close friends. Milady is very introverted, but she is also very gullible. The perfect recipe for suffering from loneliness. Yes, i am also introverted, but that is because i choose to be that way.
Giving the lady final goodbye i walked out of the castle territory. By now people around this root have already known me. So there were quit a lot of people around town that knows me.
"Good Morning, Mam cough Luna..." I met Ron at the door of the inn.
"Have you secured our place to stay?" I asked him.
"Yes, Very much Luna." He gave me a thumbs up. He seems very confident. Seeing this i nodded.
"Then lets pack up."
For the next couple of minutes we packed up our stuff from the inn and headed to the destination.

(Third person POV)
After seeing Luna of Azure stepped in to her room. She felt a little empty. Maybe because Luna and she has become such good friends. She never had friends so she never knew how it feels to have one.
With the emptiness in her heart she started her work. She needs to finish these work by tomorrow or Princess Beatrice would not be happy. Azure vividly remembered how angry her elder sister was and suddenly got motivated to finish her homework. Studying was never her fort. She never had teachers like other princess's. Maybe now that she is in her teenage years she would be given an etiquette tutor. After all noble daughters are mostly used for political marriages. And a daughter with bad manners would tarnish the families reputation.
"I wish..." A sudden though came into Azure's mind. "I could have better control over my life. Just like my magic."
She remembered how Luna emphasized the importance of control. According to Luna A person can not control every magical properties. so, knowing what they can control is the first step.
Maybe she could apply the same logic with life it self?
As this thought came into her mind she started thinking about what can she even control about her life. She does not have good magic power. Her political support is non existent and the court hates her because of her origin.
"There is nothing i can control." She sighed.
The sun is setting as the princess quietly fills in the blank paper while she internally think how helpless that she has such little control over the life she lives herself.
