Summer Encounter

Maximilian winces inwardly when Lady calls the school principal a 'chubby egghead' tour guide.

He should have known that she would say something like that. She kept shooting her mouth off the whole time since they arrived at Golden Rose Academy. Now, she has gone and done something disrespectful – to a high-ranking school official at that.

So much for hoping that she would get in to the Student Elite Society.

"My, my. Do I really look like that to you, Young Miss?" the school principal asked, and he was not sure if he was really fine with what he had just been called or if he was only pretending to be. 

"Yeah! Like Humpty Dumpy!" his daughter chirped blithely, unknowingly digging her own grave further.

"My, my, my! You sure have a good sense of humor!"

"I'm not kidding, though?" 

"Y-You're not?"
