A Heavy Heart

"Irene passed," Ronan answered briefly.

Arthur sighed with relief. He held his chest, which had been rumbling with worry. He was very grateful to hear that. When Priest Elis first said that Irene was taking a test to enter an academy, Arthur had so many questions because his daughter only stayed at the palace not long ago.

"But, aren't there any cons during the interview because Irene is over three years old?"

"No. Who dares to criticize the Royal Princess of the Kingdom? Besides, Irene won't start from first year's class. She will be put in according to her age class," Ronan answered, making Arthur even more surprised.

"B-but… what about the other lessons? Isn't she far behind?"

"Of course, if Irene doesn't study, she will be left far behind. However, she had studied hard and proved herself that she could do it. This means that Irene deserves to be admitted to a class according to her age."
