The lesson had begun already by the time Lumina arrived, guided carefully to the I class Stella.
Even though she wouldn't admit it aloud, her entire body still throbbed from yesterday's punishment.
Lady Freya stood in front of the ladies and she addressed the group of noble girls.
Rhynera sat near the front, lips curled into a satisfied smile the moment she saw Lumina walk in. Just then Stella gasped as she noticed the seat Lumina usually used had been removed.
"My Lady, your seat isn't here… why..:" Stella started to protest.
But Lumina gently reached for her, pressing her hand down on her wrist in warning. "Don't," she whispered low, her voice barely a breath. She could already feel the sting of eyes.
"Do not distract the class," Lady Freya said without looking back at her.
"Let the princess find her place and not distract the whole lesson. A lady must learn to adapt without complaint." Lady Freya let out
One of the ladies gave a small, mocking clap and the rest followed.
