"What do you mean, he bought Sheila? What nonsense is that."
"You're Margaret's niece. Then you're still in Carrol's lineage. Don't you know the news in Corinthian politics right now?"
Agatha crinkled. "About what?"
Discussing that, the man named Thad looked so serious.Thad confirmed his sitting position before starting to explain.
"I don't know if it's related to that slave or not, but there's some mixed news that duke Carrol is going to break away from the parliamentary faction to the Argentdite faction. The Argentdite faction was the new faction worked on by Duke Max. Where they lean more towards the interests of nobles than the empire." Thad paused his sentence. The thick-moustached man took the hanky to smoke in front of him.
"Although it is only the news of birds and has not been proven the truth. But if it happens, it will threaten the position of the King. Because Carrol's grief is the king's strongest supporter right now." The impact was accompanied by smoke in the air.
Hearing that, Agatha understood why the king bought Sheila.
"alright. Take this money." Agatha threw three bags in her hand towards the teak wooded table.
"Ck! Cold, same as Viscountess Margaret."
"Listen, Aunt Margaret's not at all as cold as you say." The girl refuted after hearing Thad's sneer.
"I know, but since her husband~Viscount Gerard~ died , she's been so cold. Rumor has it, it was Duke Carrol's policy that led to Viscount Gerard's departure." He still enjoys cigarettes in his shell.
"Mr Thad, don't believe in such baseless rumors." Typal Agatha slammed the door, causing a rumble.
"Sad."

Carrol Residence, Carroll,
Afternoon, afternoon,
"Miss sorry, means Miss Sheila is already your 'servant?" Lucy asked carefully. His head he bowed to show a sense of courtesy.
"No, His Majesty the King bought it first."
"His Majesty the King ? But for what ? " The curly-haired girl asked did not understand.
Agatha sighed softly. "Later, the political world was shocked by the news that Duke Carrol would turn to the Argentdite faction. Meanwhile, in the next few months, an official announcement about the crown prince's future fiancee, namely I will be held. Just think if the king is in a relationship with other nobles. Then there will be Duke Max's strongholds against it." Unmistakably.
He sees Lucy still confused and looks that her brain is loading. Agatha decided to go back to explaining.
"Isn't sheila news as 'maintenance' already spread. If only Duke Carrol had really switched to the Argentdite faction then the King already had a plan. He just led the opinion that the Crown Prince himself liked Sheila. That way, he can cancel the engagement with Carrol. Although many will oppose. I can confirm that Sheila will be directly made crown princess after a few years." Agatha. At a glance he glanced towards the large window that was compressing the green grass.
"Sheila will also definitely attract the sympathy of the people with the tax deduction or something else. Of course it was the King's idea, because Sheila couldn't possibly think of such a thing." His imbuh. He predicted that the King would definitely rely on the power of the people to support Sheila as Crown Princess.
Lucy began to understand. "The king is very cunning." Hearing that, Agatha's gaze turned toward Lucy.
"Not just sneaky. After Sheila was appointed Crown Princess with the support of the people, I believe the tax will return to normal or even high amounts. Because the King doesn't want to lose." Throw it with a bitter smile.
"Miss, I hope you can handle the tax issue because I'm worried about the state of my family out there."
"What is my authority at the moment? I'm not even the head of the family."
"Then be the head of the family."
Brak! The loud sounding crack of the table surprised Lucy. He could feel the sensation of his madam's anger.
"Sorry Miss."
"Please note your words, Master Duke is alive how can I expect the position of the head of the family?"
"But even so there is still Young Master Loui--"
"Sister Louis couldn't possibly be the head of the family because he had magic. According to rule ', noblemen who possessed magic were not allowed to have titles or to be the head of the family. Unless they're willing to throw their magic into the central tower."
"That's it." shimmily lucy slowly. It was unexpected that the lady possessed a vast knowledge. Lucy herself didn't even know of such an arrangement.

The afternoon, though,
"Greetings Mr. Duke." Agatha bowed respectfully right in front of the entrance of Duke Carrol's study. The white foot stepped inside. His trembling body relaxed as the smell of lavender gushed into the smell.
"I need permission from Mr. Duke to do something." Throw Agatha steadily.
Duke Carrol was shocked. Since when did this rough and spoiled princess ask permission to do something. His frown showed curiosity. "Say." One word that is thrown.
"I want Mr. Duke to stop my education at the Academy and allow me to continue my education in politics, administration in residence." He finally expressed his wish. Not without reason Agatha did that. He wanted to join the faction if he was old enough later. The girl thought about overhauling some policies within the faction. In addition, Agatha also had a chance to bring down the king if the king really broke the crown prince's engagement bond with her.
Things turn quiet. There's no answer. To make the wind sound real. The next moment sounded the laughter from the duke. No one knows where the cuteness of Agatha's sentence just now lies.
"Well, fine, just so you don't regret your decision and ask to return to the Academy." He said while trying to hold the tickle in the stomach.
Agatha nodded. "That's not gonna happen." Later ideal.
"I'll call a special teacher in the field you want tomorrow." Duke Carrol.
"Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Duke." Agatha bowed again to thank him.
Your Majesty the King, let's see who will win.
***
Tomorrow, take the Duke's promise. Agatha was dismissed 'temporarily' from the Academy, the reason Duke Carrol said was only temporary because he took Agatha not seriously and was still unstable. What if her daughter was bored and wanted to return to the Academy? Surely Duke can re-enter Agatha to the Academy with a process that is not too complicated.
A teacher was presented to teach Agatha education. The teacher was a silver and purple-eyed lavender with a mole around his eyes that was the half-sister of Duke Max, named Raymond Miller de Iberio.
Her hair looks a little disheveled very differently to her brother's style. Raymond was only sixteen years old, but he was very good at politics. Even so, Raymond preferred to be a teacher in the field rather than being one of the members of the faction fighting for power.
The man walked down the hallway of the Duke's residence. Sometimes he asked the waiter about the Duke's office. After meeting, Raymond entered without hesitation.
Moments later, he came out and walked back with the book in his arms. The man headed towards the Carrol library. The servants watched silently. They began to whisper about Raymond's appearance.
Raymond finally arrived in front of the library. Quickly, he opened the entrance. Raymond was greeted by a girl who was reading a book inside. Silent. He narrowed his eyes to make sure.
"Are you really Lady Agatha Carrol?"
Agatha. Mark the pages of the book and then close them slowly. "Yes right, I'm Agatha Carrol."The girl then stood up.
"Include Me Raymond Miller, a teacher of politics and law" Raymond bowed his greeting with his right hand placed in front of his chest.
"Greetings to Mr. Raymond." The girl bowed in greeting. Agatha researched Raymond's appearance, looking so young as to the size of a teacher. But he did not think too much, maybe his teacher is ageless.
Raymond approached Agatha and sat down opposite the girl. He placed the book in his hand in front of the table carefully.
"All right, just go straight. Copy this book from page 1 to page 100." His orders were without further ado by pointing at one of his thickly-coated books.
Hearing that, Agatha was extremely shocked. Crazy one! One hundred pages must be rewritten! Especially with this traditional pen. Thought Agatha was worried.
He smiles. "A hundred pages isn't too much? Shouldn't we learn the basics first, Mr Ray?" Throw-out.
"Write now!" He firmly glanced towards his thick book. Looking at the way Raymond treated himself, Agatha can surmise that Raymond was in fact already in his thirties more.
Eventually, the girl complied. Slowly he picked up a brown book with gold writing.
Agatha began to rewrite what was in the book. It contained rules and policies from the time of the king of Corinth to the present. There are also various contradictions and ways to overcome them. Actually this book is quite useful, only if you have to write all.
The clock kept ticking until evening came. Agatha did not expect that her teacher Raymond would actually keep an eye on her until Agatha was done. He thought it was possible that Raymond would fall asleep while teaching so that he could steal time for a short break. But in reality, not a second did Raymond close his eyes. Makes Agatha cluck softly.
"Good, you can finish it." Praise Raymond for seeing the results of Agatha's work. "I don't think the Lady will be able to finish it." Added Raymond.
"Now you're officially My disciple." He said with an innocent smile.
"I'm sorry What did Mr Ray mean? Haven't I been your student since the beginning?"
"When? From the beginning I only introduced myself as a teacher in politics and law, not as your teacher." Clearly by showing a remembering expression. He already uses informal language because he already considers Agatha as his student.
"Oh yeah, use informal language when we're alone. I don't like to see my students with depressed faces. Our age is not too far away either." Raymond Pinta. Agatha gave a slow breath.
"Good, teacher."
Wait, wait, wait, she said she's not far from me! Means he is not ageless dong but is still young. What kind of teacher did Master Duke choose!!
