Vivian then rushed home as quickly as possible and immediately gave Sebastian a call.
“I don’t want to go to Regalius Academy, Daddy! Please tell them not to transfer me there!”
The young woman began crying out loud the moment the call got through.
Even at the age of seventeen, she still behaved like a child in front of her parents. That was mainly due to her being pampered since she was a child.
Sebastian was having a video conference with the business department staff at the time, so everyone was able to hear her wailing over the phone. While he knitted his brows, the others exchanged glances.
Is that his little princess? Why is she crying on the phone like this? Did she get bullied or something?
No one dared to say a word.
“What is it? Tell me what happened,” Sebastian asked.
When the meeting started, he was emanating an overbearing aura that terrified others to the core. However, his tone became ridiculously gentle and affectionate when he was talking to his daughter, giving everyone goosebumps.
That was probably the best representation of differential treatment.
“L-Lady Adalyn was attending a party… She brought a classmate of mine and me along… W-We met the king, a-and… Today, I heard from someone that the king wants me to study at Regalius Academy! I don’t want to go there, Daddy! I want to stay here… N-No, if possible, you could transfer me to another school too! In fact, it’d be nice if I could study in Atlantius. Kurt is in that city too, so it’ll be easier for us to look out for each other.”
Vivian was so upset that she ended up rambling incoherently, much to Sebastian’s dismay.
A few minutes later, he hung up the phone and ended the video conference as well.
He then summoned Karl into the study. “Vivian has run into some trouble. Roppell is preparing to transfer her over to Regalius Academy.”
“What?” Karl was shocked.
What’s with this rapid escalation of events? Didn’t Ms. Vivian just meet Roppell’s son last night? Why are they transferring her to Regalius Academy the next day? Isn’t this all a little too soon?
