“Are you all right, Dee?” The gossip had reached even Virgil’s ears, so when he returned home, he’d summoned her for some tea.

Claudia smiled at her brother, genuinely unaffected. “What, the rumors? They’re of no concern.”

“That girl is up to no good again, isn’t she?”

She shook her head. “I don’t think she’s involved with these rumors, actually.”

“But that incident she caused in the classroom was the catalyst, right? Even if she isn’t the one spreading the rumors, it’s still her fault they exist.”

“Will you be reporting this to Father?”

“I already have.” Virgil was more concerned about her attitude in the classroom than the rumors themselves, though. “Father warned her, and she at least appeared to be repentant.”

“She puts on a good show.”

There were only a few people who knew Fermina’s true nature. The old blood avoided her because of her illegitimacy, but her grades were impressive and she was sociable enough. It wouldn’t be all that surprising if those who didn’t know her well found her pleasant to be around. Her flaws only stood out because Claudia knew her better than everyone else, but her two-faced nature made her difficult to deal with.

Virgil sighed. “We still don’t have enough against her to bring her to justice, do we?”

“What she does at the academy stays at the academy after all.”

Even if her scheming harmed her reputation, it wouldn’t spread to society at large. The adults treated her with kid gloves because, in their eyes, it was just childish mischief. As long as there was nothing concrete to bring against her, none of them would be motivated to act. Their father especially wouldn’t make a move without solid proof.

“Yeah. That’s supposed to be the one good thing about it—that even if you mess up, there’s still an opportunity to begin anew.”

Yes, for better or worse, the academy was a place of learning in more ways than one. People would readily dismiss Fermina’s wrongdoings so long as she gave the impression she’d had a change of heart.

“Your feelings are my first priority, Dee. If things ever become too much for you, you can always turn to me.” The look in his eyes was completely sincere.

Claudia nodded. “Of course. If there’s anything I can ever do for you, I hope you’ll turn to me as well.”

She had people to look after her this time. Knowing that gave her strength.
