Viviana Richards had the intention to take on a disciple.
Amelia revealed this piece of news. At a private banquet, Viviana expressed her desire to find an outstanding student from her academy to train as a personal disciple.
This news was immediately known by the Fenwick family, to which Amelia belonged, and the Carlisle family, to which Soren belonged.
Thus, they sent Amelia and Soren here, hoping they could become Viviana's personal disciples.
Although Caerwyn Academy was not on the same level as the four major academies, Viviana Richards, the headmistress, was no less capable than the heads of the four major academies.
Becoming Viviana's personal disciple would naturally be far better than being an ordinary student at one of the four major academies. The implications of this were not simple at all.
Of course, there were also some political reasons. The Fenwick and Carlisle families belonged to different political circles and were mutually hostile, both thanks to recruiting powerful forces for their own sides.
However, there was no need to mention these matters to Carlotta.
Carlotta suddenly realized, "So it was to become the headmistress's disciple... That's why Soren acted like that..."
Amelia smiled, "She's used to being arrogant and often can't distinguish what should and shouldn't be done. That's why she made a mistake and was eliminated."
People of noble birth often have the illusion that the world revolves around them, and it's very normal for them to act flamboyantly.
As a noble lady, Amelia had seen many such people and wasn't surprised by Soren's behavior.
Carlotta thoughtfully said, "Since Soren is already out, doesn't that mean you have no competition?"
She didn't think non-nobles could compete with Amelia.
Amelia shook her head, "Didn't I just say? This matter is no longer a secret, so I can reveal the truth to you. More nobles have learned about this, and many noble children will be transferred into our academy soon."
Carlotta's expression became subtle.
She couldn't help but feel that Viviana didn't really want to take on a disciple but simply wanted more noble children to become students at Caerwyn Academy.
After all, it was quite unbecoming for Caerwyn Academy, known as the fifth academy, to have no noble students.
Regardless, once there were more noble children in the academy, various disturbances were bound to arise.
Carlotta said to Amelia, "Miss Fenwick, you're going to face quite a few challenges."
As someone who had joined Caerwyn Academy earlier, Amelia was bound to be targeted.
Amelia remained composed, smiling, "I won't feel much pressure because I don't really care whether I become Headmistress Richards's disciple or not. It's just that my father wanted me to participate. Even if I don't succeed, I can't let Soren succeed. Compared to Soren out, my task is pretty much complete."
"Is there a deep grudge between your family and Soren's Carlisle family?" Carlotta asked curiously.
She knew Soren still wanted revenge on her, so she wouldn't mind learning more about the Carlisle family.
Amelia pursed her lips, "It's a feud that spans many generations, and the exact origin can't be traced anymore. But no matter how you look at it, it's a necessary result of political influences... Let's not discuss this topic further."
She shook her head.
Continuing this topic would involve mentioning the Emperor.
Even though Amelia stopped suddenly, Carlotta was still deep in thought. As a transmigrator, her thoughts easily wandered.
Perhaps for the Emperor, it was best for the nobles below to have conflicts among themselves. If the nobles were united, the Emperor's throne might not be secure.
This was indeed a topic that couldn't be discussed further.
Amelia brushed her silver hair, her soft blue eyes looking at Carlotta, and smiled, "Miss White, would you be willing to give me a peanut butter chimney roll? I can exchange it with a milk chocolate chimney roll."
Carlotta snapped out of her thoughts, touched at the cream chocolate chimney roll in front of Amelia, and asked, puzzled, "Why did you change to a different chimney roll today?"
As she asked, she handed over her peanut butter chimney roll.
Amelia took the peanut butter chimney roll, took a bite, and a happy expression appeared on her face. "I wanted to try something different, but as it turns out, peanut butter chimney rolls are still the best."
It reminded her of her mother's taste, something she missed dearly.
...
Everything was just as Amelia had said.
That very afternoon, a noble young lady entered Caerwyn Academy, causing quite a stir.
This was Beatrice Morholt from the Morholt Count family. The Morholt family was extremely powerful, with Count Morholt holding military power.
He had made numerous contributions in battles against the northern Velmoria Empire and was currently a prominent figure in the empire.
Thus, Beatrice Morholt, the daughter of Count Morholt, immediately became the academy's new sensation upon joining Caerwyn Academy.
However, this was just the beginning. Before the students could fully process Beatrice's arrival, more noble children joined the academy one after another, causing the entire Caerwyn Academy to buzz with excitement.
"There are more and more people," Carlotta observed, knowing that the arrival of these noble children will certainly bring significant impacts to the academy.
Moreover, since these noble children were also competitors among themselves, various overt and covert conflicts were bound to arise.
But this had nothing to do with her; she wouldn't be involved in such competition.
Before parting ways at the cafeteria today, Amelia told her that the Elf Knight Gathering would be held this weekend and asked her to make time for it. Naturally, she agreed.
Although she had her own intelligence system and didn't need to listen to others' interpretations of the Elven Knight Manual, she saw this as a way to strengthen her relationship with Amelia.
It wasn't that she was pursuing Amelia, but she remembered an old saying from her previous world: the enemy of my enemy is my friend.
Soren was already her enemy, and Amelia was Soren's enemy. In other words, Amelia was her friend!
Perhaps in the future, she will need Amelia's help when facing troubles related to Soren.
