A few days after the first day of school.
The strategy meeting at Romulus Castle over, today was the second day of attendance.

Under a cloudless, clear sky.
The six of the lower class and Olivia were walking the road from the dormitory to the academy.

Among the many students coming and going, the lower-class party drew attention from the other classes.
There was a large presence gathering that attention. Namely—

“Hmm… Victoria… I’m worried…”

“Ulrika-chan, you don’t have to worry.”

Victoria, queen of the Kingdom of Romulus.
She was walking toward the academy together with Lady Ulrika and the others.

Queen Victoria possessed the finest beauty in the country, and a splendid figure of striking curves.
With that overwhelming beauty, she was gathering the students’ attention without end.

“Lady Victoria, as beautiful and lovely as ever… so why with the lower class of all things…?”

“Her Majesty Queen Victoria is incredibly alluring, isn’t she. Why with the lower class… I’m jealous…”

The stir spread in a blink; many students gathered around.
Then one boy student came, pushing through the wave of students.

Student council president Heinrich.

“Hey! What’s this racket first thing in the morning? To your classrooms, quickly… you are…”

“My. I seem to have caused a stir.”

Queen Victoria stuck out her tongue.
Several boy students who saw that went red-faced and their legs gave out.
The fearsome allure of Queen Victoria.

Heinrich, however, was not led astray by allure. He stood before Queen Victoria with a sharp expression.

“A pleasure to meet you. I am Heinrich, student council president.”

“Heinrich, is it. A pleasure. I am Victoria.”

“This is sudden, but please tell me. Why is Her Majesty at the academy? What in the world is this stir?”

To Heinrich’s questions, Queen Victoria answered.

“As it happens, I’ve become the lower class’s teacher, so I’m walking to school with them.”

“The lower class’s teacher…? What do you mean… what in the world are you talking about?”

Heinrich could not understand Queen Victoria’s answer.
The students listening around them looked blank as well.
Noticing that, Queen Victoria added a careful explanation.

“As of today, I, Victoria Merrill Anne Romulus, have become the lower class’s teacher. I’m going to look at the classroom now, to give lower-class lessons. A different class from yours, Heinrich, but I look forward to working with you.”

So saying, Queen Victoria winked, snap.

“I see. Her Majesty, as a teacher…”

Then a beat of silence passed—

“””””Haaah!?”””””

Heinrich and the students watching around him all cried out in surprise.
Some students were so surprised they had locked up.

“Your Majesty! Please don’t say something so strange!”

“My. Did I say something strange?”

“You did! Having Her Majesty serve as a teacher—that’s impossible!!”

At the unexpected turn, Heinrich lost his composure.
Queen Victoria, for her part, was unhurried, with room to spare.

“You needn’t worry. I’ve left the work to my husband. I can be a teacher every day.”

“That isn’t the issue!!”

“Then what exactly is the issue? Will you tell me?”

“What, you ask… that’s…”

Heinrich hurried to answer.
Then he let out a “fuu” and recovered his composure.

“First of all: the lower class receiving classes on their own. That sort of thing is not permitted.”

“Is that so? But you see…”

Queen Victoria smiled.
A beautiful, shrewd smile that sent a shiver through those who saw it.

“Heinrich, you said the lower class may spend their time as they like, didn’t you? Then receiving classes on their own isn’t a problem, is it? They may spend their time as they like.”

Heinrich choked, “Ukh.”

“But bringing a teacher on their own—and Her Majesty, no less—that can’t be permitted.”

Queen Victoria smiled again.
A freezing chill ran down Heinrich’s spine.

“But Heinrich, you apparently said, ‘If you want a teacher, find one yourselves,’ didn’t you?”

“Wha… how do you…”

“Where from, and whom, they find as a teacher… you didn’t specify, did you?”

“No… but…”

“Fufu. You’re the student council president. You wouldn’t say you forgot to mention it, would you?”

Queen Victoria poked Heinrich’s forehead.
At the all-too-alluring gesture, Heinrich couldn’t help looking down.

“Kh… but Her Majesty giving classes… there’s no way…”

“No need to worry about that.”

Queen Victoria puffed her chest, full of confidence.

“As the current queen of the Kingdom of Romulus, I intend to teach the country’s history, noble etiquette in social settings, and international affairs including other countries.”

From the students listening around them leaked, “The queen’s classes… I’d like that…”

“In that sort of knowledge, who could give a more detailed class than I… my husband or a minister, perhaps? Even so, Heinrich, do you think I cannot teach?”

At Queen Victoria’s finishing line, Heinrich fell completely silent.
After staying silent a while, he slowly opened his mouth.

“I understand… I understand! Do as you like!!”

Heinrich squeezed the words out, looking bitter.
Hearing that, the lower-class students surged.
And Lady Ulrika, gladder than anyone.

“I did it! I’m so glad!! The class I’ve been waiting and waiting for~!!”

She bounced and hugged Queen Victoria tight.

“Thank you! Teacher Victoria!!”

“Hauun… Ulrika-chan, you’re too cute…!”

Queen Victoria was smitten with Lady Ulrika’s cuteness.
The shiver-inducing air of a moment ago had gone who-knows-where.

Olivia quietly handed a bag to the frolicking Lady Ulrika.

“That’s good, Lady Ulrika. Today is your real first day of school!”

“Mm, that’s right! The real first day of school!!”

And so Lady Ulrika was able to meet her “real first day of school” safely.
