Wind-driven petals fluttered down the Royal Castle of Garkhain.

Rishe in a linen dress was maneuvering a hoe in her hand to flatten the bumpy soil.

This place was the part of the courtyard that she had coaxed and borrowed from Arnold during the evening party a few days ago.

(With an area this big, itll be fine for the time being.)

I looked around at the area I tilled yesterday and was satisfied with the results.

The several buckets placed beside them were filled with thick layers of mulch. The healthy soil was gathered from under the deciduous trees in the garden.

I managed to lift up a bucket and spread the mulch on the ground. By the time I finished scattering them all over the ground, my arms were numb.

(I need to start working out seriously.)

This body, which belonged to a delicate young lady until recently, has puny strength and muscular power. It was far from being a knight, let alone the life of a pharmacist working in the fields.

Even though my mind knew how to move my body, my body couldnt keep up.

That said, she still wanted to persist longer. Rishe regained her spirits and began hacking up the soil on which she had sprinkled the mulch with the hoe in her hand.

Carefully, yet firmly, aerating the soil while mixing the soil and mulch.

While she removed any visible weed roots, she didnt fuss over them much. Sometimes it was interesting to see flowers and plants that she couldnt remember sprouting up between the plants she was growing.

The knights standing a distance away also watched Rishes work with interest. Then Dianna came over and her eyes rounded.

Rishe-sama, what on earth are you doing?

This? Im working on a field.

Field The Crown Princes fiance is.

After mixing the mulch painstakingly, ridges of fluffy soil were completed.

Shed like to sow the seeds right away, but it would be better to let them acclimate in the sun for a few days. Rishe wiped the sweat from her forehead and grinned at a pouting Dianna.

Im sorry to have kept you waiting. So can you show me what youve come up with?

Hah! Yes, please!

Dianna looked nervous as she held out the document in her hands.

On it was a pretty drawing of a broom and a rag, along with carefully written characters.

I thought that the first words for the newbies to learn should be about cleaning supplies!

Devoid of her apron, Dianna who was dressed in her maids uniform, fumbled with the hem of her dress.

She had been appointed as the maidservants trainer, and Rishe had given her one directive. That was, to decide what to teach the rookies first.

That way, theyll use it for their daily tasks and it would be easy for them to feel that what theyre learning is useful.

Yes, I think its very good.

Rishe smiled and nodded, and Diannas face lit up in a flash. However, it soon turned cloudy with a lack of confidence.

But, Ive been thinking that theyd be happier knowing their own names first rather than the names of their cleaning tools.

Yes. It is certainly a good idea to incorporate such concerns, but

Rishe was reminded of the sons in the mansion she had come in contact with in her life as a ladys maid.

They learned how to write their names with their tutors, practiced hard, and then came to show it to Rishe. She smiled at this nostalgic memory and shared her thoughts with Dianna.

Its something that students cant review or teach each other when forgotten. And its time-consuming for the teacher to explain it all at once.

Oh! I see, it certainly is!

At Rishes words, Dianna let out a breath of relief. Apparently, she had been wondering about this for a long time.

As youve mentioned, its nice to be able to put what you learn to work right away. If I were a student, Id be very happy.

Yes! Thank you!

Diannas eyes lit up as she hugged the paper that Rishe returned to her.

Rishe-sama, doing these sort of things are fun. Its much more fun thinking about how to help than trying to figure out what nasty things to say.

Fufu, thats right.

But, why would Lady Rishe do so much for us?

Its

Just as Rishe stammered a bit, Elise, her handmaiden, came from the other side.

Rishe-sama, its time to get ready.

Rishe merely nodded at her impassive reminder.

Im sorry Dianna, I have to go now. Can you proceed with the teaching material exactly as I told you?

Yes! Leave it to me!

Dianna-senpai Can you teach me again after dinner tonight?

Fufu, of course. I wont let you sleep until youve finished two pages today, so keep that in mind!
