Chapter 127: Repaying

*Kaze*

Kiki smiled. "Sil showed me his bear the other day, it was so cute!"

I smirked. "You sure seem fond of him."

"Well, it is a cute bear!"

I chuckled. "I meant Sil."

"Oh, w-well, he's my friend after all."

Mother glanced at her. "Sil, huh? I've yet to meet him and his sister. What family do they come from?"

I frowned. Mother didn't know they were peasants yet.

"Daikiri," Kiki said.

Her brow furrowed. "Daikiri?"

"They're farmers," Koga blurted out.

Mother gasped. "So Princess Rosemary did marry into a peasant family?"

I sighed and looked down at my coffee. "Yes."

"Hmph, goes to show how little Kohei thinks of her." She glanced at me. "Do you think it's actually a good idea to have her as Kikiyo's tutor? I was talking to Cyra the other day and she mentioned that Rosemary has only taught lower class kids. Kiki's curriculum is way farther than that of the peasantry."
