My Fiancée Hates Me [Completed]

Chapter 39: Unexpected

I found myself in a tough spot while my opponent was overpowering me with brawn long after I had already faced seven other opponents in a row.

"Come on, Young Duchess! You should be able to move better than that," my instructor said.

My instructor Krona Gills was a new female instructor who arrived as a substitute for our old instructor who threw his back.

This event did not occur in the first cycle, so I was a bit surprised at first but accepted it quite easily from how my past instructor had injured his back.

If everything went the same way, it would be all too easy...

If not for the fact that she seemed to be power hungry after reaching to her position, she would not have felt the need to put me into place and possibly force me to drop out of the course. If I knew it would be like this, I would have dropped out sooner, but my lineage makes things difficult. People would look down on me if I were to withdraw in the first few months.

Everyone in class was aware of the unfair treatment. No one wanted to involve themselves between a dispute of higher nobles. Even this woman is willing to deduct points from other students not willing to listen to her.

My opponent struck my wrist of my dominant hand on purpose and caused me to drop my wooden replica sword. I hunched to the ground and began gasping loudly as I tried to gather my breath.

"...Can you continue, Young Miss?"

Could I continue? There was a possibility my wrist was sprained, and she was asking if I wanted to continue?

"...I admit defeat," I said quietly as I gripped my wrist.

"What was that?" she asked again.

"I admit defeat, Instructor," I repeated.

"Admitting defeat is equivalent to five laps around the school."

"...Yes," I said as I quickly got to my feet.

I walked to the church located on school grounds in my tired state. As soon as I entered through the back door, I fell through forward onto my face.

The next time I opened my eyes, I saw Gavin Lord by my side.

"What is the diagnosis?" I asked him.

"You are an idiot," Gavin said as he closed his first aid kit. "It's incurable."

I quickly sat upright to much of my own muscle pains.

"...You, Sir, are not a follower of your own religion."

"In training," he emphasized.

"Not good use of my family's donations obviously," I said as I moved my blanket out of the way.

He quickly turned his head as I went to get my clothes.

"Have some tact..."

I had used my family's influences and partially of my own money in donations towards the Church Sects and established a respectable position for myself. I learned that it was better to bring more people to my side than think of them as enemies all of the time.

"You are not the first person I have undressed in front of," I retorted.

I came to realize the people around Kaya Ouchi were still just people. There was no reason preventing me from researching or getting to know them personally.

Particularly, I found that Gavin and my personality actually worked well together. Whenever I had injuries I wanted to conceal, I would come here. The best kept secrets are usually kept in a church setting.
