Chapter 94: Truant Chapter 94: Truant If you have any questions, you may come to see me there.

The king has instructed me to remain available for your convenience.

Good luck in your next lessons.” With that, the session ended.

Nnenna exhaled in relief.

Perfect timing.

Now she wouldn’t have to deal with the awkwardness of being late or the scolding that would have followed.

Nnenna heard footsteps approaching.

She wanted to turn and disappear before she was spotted, but it was too late.

The door swung open, and she came face to face with the head etiquette instructor, followed closely by the other teachers.

Their gazes locked onto her instantly.

Nnenna “…” Recognition flashed across their faces.

Of course, they knew her.

These instructors had been in the castle even before she was adopted, but since the king never assigned them to teach her, they had always ignored her.

Now, with the ball approaching, they finally had permission to train her, and yet, she hadn’t shown up.

And now?

She had been caught skipping.

The head instructor’s lips pressed into a thin line, irritation flickering in her eyes.

The other teachers exchanged glances, their silent judgment weighing heavy in the air.

The message was clear, she didn’t even bother to attend.

A tense silence followed.

Nnenna could practically feel their disapproval.

Great.

Just what she needed.

She straightened her shoulders, keeping her face neutral.

If they were expecting guilt or nervousness, they would be disappointed.

But judging by the way the lead instructor’s expression darkened, she was already in serious trouble.
