Reborn as the Princess' Knight (GL)-Chapter 190 School Opening (IV).

Chapter 75: School Opening (IV).

Kein's POV

The photos were each given for us to keep, we took a couple more before Vivienne really couldn't hold her pee any longer and I had to rush her to the nearest bathroom there was, thankfully she made it.

"Whew!" (Vivienne) breathed a sigh of relief as we went back into the carriage. Having a kid means I would have to experience more threatening situations than these. "Thank u, Moma." 𝑓𝒓𝚎e𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯𝘰𝐯𝒆𝑙.c𝚘m

At least her little thank you made it all worth it.

"You're welcome, Vivienne."

Finally with nothing else hindering us we left the estate getting inside the family carriage.

I could see Alfred tucking his photo inside his vest with a smile, I took mine and stored it in my [Storage Ring]. The photo of all of us four and the one where it was only Vivienne and I.

We all sat inside, Vivienne was getting more familiar with her surroundings. She sits down and looks out the open window of the carriage, I sat beside her wanting to care for her safety.

"Let's be off then." (Baron Hills) orders and soon the horses trotted with a loud neigh. The sound of the wheels rolling through the ground could be heard.

"Hyah!" (Alfred) holds the leash leading the horses out as the carriage moves.

The gates of our home opened, guards saluted and Vivienne waved cutely right by the window to those guards leaving them smiling. I would like to at least have my heart settled on knowing that everyone back at home loves little Vivienne.

.-.-.-.-.

The ride was a short one, soon we were already there seeing the entrance of the school being blocked by so many people.

"They're here!"

"It's Milady Hills and the Baron!"

"Thank you so much for this!"

I could hear their abrupt cheers and there were already several guards guarding the entrance pavement for us to cross.

I believe it was mostly parents with their children, some of them were already wearing the uniforms that would be required when attending.

After all they would be free for the first school year opening.

While I could see there were some journalists on the side, hoping to get some inside scope for the first school opened for the public.

"Whoa..." (Vivienne) shrinks back from her seat seeing so many people cheering in one place. "Moma they like you?"

"It's more of- they like what our family has fought for them." I tried to explain feeling a little embarrassed. I never meant to do much in this life as Kein Rosenguard, well Kein Hills.

I was... planning to go onto the quiet slow life but it had other plans for me.

"That's right Vivienne, your Moma here thought well. It's about time we needed proper education for the people, some may not agree but for your grandpa-" (Baron Hills) smiles reaching his hand out to pat Vivienne's blonde hair. "Grandpa believes education is something everyone has a right to have."

As a professor from my past life, I agreed with every bit of his words and that made me respect more of father's figure. The education system was a bit flawed, to me there will never be a perfect system for that.

It will really depend on the students, their passion, peers and instructors.

I'm looking forward to what the new school has to offer.

Vivienne was trying to understand what our words mean being so young. I suppose she'll have some time before she would worry about such a thing.

"I'll enroll you into the academy once you get a bit older, you'll meet new friends, learn new things and get along with your classmates I'm sure of it." I tell Vivienne with a smile, seeing the expression on my face she raises her hands up to my cheeks and pats both of my sides before giggling.

It's like relieving the memory of my old daughter when she first tried going to elementary. How alone she was.

My daughter from earth was... not interested in making friends but her nose was always on her books or her phone.

While there was nothing wrong with it, I wish... I could've met any of her friends she made and rely on them to take care of her since I've passed.

I don't have any relatives left- and thankfully I settled my will that everything I own will be handed over to her before I die.

"Moma school me want to go." (Vivienne) pouts and I laugh seeing her little chubby cheeks suddenly fill up with air.

Now her face looks similar to a hamster.

"Like what I said, when you get older we'll put you to school." I take her hands and wrap them around mine. "I hope you'll like it by the time it comes."

"Indeed and remember to study first before anything else." (Baron Hills) cuts in and tells Vivienne of how important studying is rather than just lazing around

The carriage stops, I could feel Alfred coming down from the coach seat and seeing his figure walk around the carriage until he reaches the door and opens it for us to exit.

Father decided he'll be the one to come out first, seeing guards patrolling and taking control of the cheering crowd.

We could rest our mind easily for Vivienne's safety.

"Come on, Vivienne, let's go and see the school now." I offer my hand to her and she takes it, I carry her by my arms and exit the carriage.

I look around seeing so many people, shouting different things.

"It's Milady!"

"Goodness me, is she wearing a suit?"

"I didn't know she had a kid."

"Me neither does that mean she's engaged or married now?!"

"No that couldn't be if she has then we would have known about it!"

I waved my hand a little feeling embarrassed that they were talking about me instead of pressing school matters.

They care more about my personal life than the opening it seems.

"Kein-!"

Up in the front Lenard walked up to us and he called my name. The moment he realized what he did he chuckles nervously correcting himself.

"I-I mean Milady Hills! Welcome!" (Lenard) bows, and behind him it was Ellis bowing as well. The two gave a warm welcome and I was glad to see them so soon.

I remember the last time I saw them was at the festival, revealing Rose's real identity that she was no normal person but someone from royalty.

Vivienne's eyes sparkle recognizing the two, even wearing their new uniforms tailored to fit. "Uncwle!"

Grey robes with green linings, and a mortarboard by the head.

"Oh Vivienne!" (Lenard) eyes the little girl happily and notices the uniform she has. "Aw you're too young to be enrolled in our school so I'm guessing that's for getting into the school spirit."

"Hehehe!" (Vivienne) giggles nodding before cuddling more closely to me.

I laughed, reaching my hand out to shake Lenard's. He chuckles a little too, taking mine, shaking it firmly.

I couldn't contain my smile seeing the ring on his hands, the engagement of Lenard and Ellis were something to look forward to in the future.

"I'm delighted to be here, Principal Lenard. Though I don't think I'll ever get used to you calling me milady." I tell him and reluctantly he agrees, nodding not being used to it but he still tries now that he's no longer part of nobility.

Being disowned by my uncle that rarely appears.

"I-I'm still not used to it either. Even now I'm taking the role of principal... It feels surreal but it's certainly not a bad thing to hear." (Lenard) tells me with a smile on his face, liking the title of principal being hooked to his name.

"It certainly does." I looked around and saw the crowd expecting for the event to start. So many people came to the opening and I'm glad I could recognize a few. "Is everything ready so we can start?" I asked Lenard who nodded quickly leading the way.

"Ah yes it is, please follow me." (Lenard) escorts us into the stairs outside the building.

Just going up there holds the school entrance right in front of it was a podium and a red ribbon being held by two teachers.

There were a few staff already there, newly hired teachers and professors. I could see that there were more fairly young ones than old.

"Milady, please let me take the young miss so you can make your speech." (Alfred) walks up to me and offers his hand to take Vivienne.

"Moma?" (Vivienne) sees Alfred's hands taking her and she turns to me with a sad look. I patted her head for a bit and made sure she knows that she'll be safe with him while I address the crowd.

"It's alright, Alfred will be with you for a bit. Moma will have to do a small speech so we can finish everything and then be on our merry way." I tell her and with the expression on her face looking sullen but at least she understands.

She obeys and stays with Alfred as they walk into the corner.

I fixed my suit, patting it up and down to straighten the crumpled parts while I went up into the podium, looking into the eyes of the crowd. Taking a deep breath, it made me remember how far I came.

From Kein Rosenguard that was abused to be kept in a closet, to someone trying to make a difference.

There wasn't any mic so I had to rely on my voice alone. I waited for everyone to be quiet while I took on several sheets of paper script from last night.

The small whispers and murmurs soon stopped.
