14 Chapter 14

"This academy is not known to many people, those who know are probably nobles that are ranked high enough. Of course, since our duke have good relationship with the Atkinsons, we know about this and the Atkinsons even invited us to go to this academy. Although not well known, graduates from this academy are all well achieved people, even our emperor went to this academy when he was just a crown prince," Matthew took a sip of his hot chocolate after his explanation to Celestina.

"This are the list of things you'll need, some of the things are already bought but you'll need to prepare those that haven't been checked yet by yourself," Mellisa handed over a paper to Celestina and took out a crystal stone from her bag.

"This stone is a protection stone so make sure to carry it with you all the time and don't let anyone else touch it except for your trusted ones." The crystal stone shone purple when Celestina held it in her hand, she quickly kept it in her bag after Mellisa nodded.

"Alright then, you can go to father now. He asked me to call you to go to his office," Mellisa tidied Celestina's peach coat pulled her out.

"Why is father calling me?" Mellisa shrugged and said nothing. "He said it's something that will make you happy, go on."

"Father, I'm here." Celestina knocked on his office door and entered after his barely heard "En".

"Have a sit."

Francisco took a file from his drawer and handed it over to Celestina. The file seemed important.

"What's this?" Celestina opened the file and took the paper.

"Your adoption form, you are now formally an Ashdown." Francisco said and smiled after he saw Celestina's brighten face.

Celestina stood up and hugged the duke. "If I'd known you'll do this, I would have done this earlier. I'm sorry it took so long, there's some problem I need to solve first."

Although it has only been 2 months, Celestina has grown a lot compared to when he met her. It's good that the little girl is getting healthier.

Celestina has lived in this fiction world 2 for months, although this world was good and it felt like her dreams come true, all people were good to her and she had fun being with everyone here but she missed being 'Liliana', she missed being the 21 years old who only cared about studying and reading cringe novels. This world was good and all but this world wasn't hers. When she first got here, her only goal was to give some justice to Celestina but after 2 months of living blissfully , she begun to think about her old life.

'Is her parents well?'

'If she's here now, does that mean her old body is already dead?'

'How about her friend, Cindy, is she grieving right now? She won't have a friend to tell her stories to anymore.'

And so Celestina hoped to find a way to go back to her old world, her real home.

She tried looking at the biggest library in Ashdown but there wasn't any information about rebirth, transmigration and reincarnation. She asked about this to the librarian and she said to try find these in the largest library in this world, in the Atkinsons. She didn't believe that there weren't even a single book in this land that talk about these things so she asked Ginny about it, turns out, people in this world don't believe about such things and such things are usually regarded as black magic and witchcraft.

So she decided to go to Atkinsons and use Celestina's status as Francisco's adopted daughter to gain the access to the library.

But in order to do that, she need to go to Atkinsons. Which is why she decided to enroll to the academy in Atkinsons with the twins.

"Miss, a package arrived from the capital for you." Ginny handed her a huge box with a paper tied to it.

"To Celestina, from Ambrose. It seemed like Ambrose's the one who wrote this." Celestina read the paper and said to Ginny.

"Ah yes, the teachers there said the other kids aren't able to write perfectly yet so they are still embarrassed to write a letter." Ginny said and chuckled when she thought of those kids she saw back in capital and thought about their shy faces as they try to write a letter.

"Really? Oh wow, his handwriting is really neat." Celestina remembered the cute boy who looked so confused when he just woke up.

"I heard Dr. Henry taught him himself, Dr. Henry is very well-known for his medical skill and he was even praised by the emperor himself so it's no wonder that Ambrose learn things so fast. Maybe we'll get a junior Dr. Henry in few years"

"Ah? There's no way, just because his teacher is a doctor doesn't mean he's going to be a doctor." Celestina thought he's more suitable as a knight.

"Hehe, we'll see later." Ginny smiled sneakily.

"There aren't many people on this street." Celestina notes from inside the carriage.

"The construction of the Giana Building is finally completed, its a school that provides free service for anyone who wants to join as long as they can pass the entrance exam. Many people went there to join." Francisco explained.

"Giana?" The name of the school is really odd, people usually name their school something meaningful or educational.

"They said its the name of the owner." The carriage slowed down and Louise knocked on the door.

"We've arrived." Francisco held Celestina and helped her down.

They were standing in front of the a temple, Francisco said it's for her adoption things.

"Let's go."

"From now on, your name is Celestina Ashdown, welcome to the family." Francisco signed the paper and smiled happily to the little girl beside him.

Celestina laughed and hugged the duke.
