Life Restart

"Patrick Wirdfim is it? It's a p.l.e.a.s.u.r.e to meet you, I am the 2nd child, daughter of the Bynsteel duke and Duchess, Letisha Bynsteel" Letisha politely greeted, giving a curtsy, and a polite smile.

Any person seeing Letisha would believe she's just a sweet young girl, but they would be surprised if they knew how she really is.

Behind the polite smile she's making, her eyes were already sizing up the abnormal man in front of her. She was curious about this person the moment she saw him.

Despite being in an embarrassing situation where he's blocking the path of a carriage carrying the duke's logo, he didn't show any sign of being fl.u.s.tered or afraid at all.

Normally commoners and lower nobles would be sweating buckets encountering the situation he's in.

Even if he was unfamiliar with my household, he should've heard the words of the coachman announcing my identity as the duke's kin.

This man, somehow in the presence of high nobility, he manages to politely greet me, and not get intimidated in any way.

No normal commoner could be this calm when facing a noble, nonetheless a duke's daughter. He would either be a total imbecile or someone powerful.

Letisha became perplexed in Patrick's confidence.

"Wow so unexpected for someone so young, you show great manners for a girl your age, you must be taught well by your family to be this graceful in a greeting" Patrick, exclaimed, edging closer to Letisha "You have the looks and temper of what one would expect of a noble lady, yet there wasn't a trace of arrogance, truly an exemplar noble lady, All the girls should take you as their goal, miss"

Exemplar noble lady? Patrick would take his words back quickly if he only knew the person he's talking to is not even a noble in the first place.

Felice is a certified commoner of 28 years, only recently did she even learn the basic table manners from Letisha's mother. It was nothing but a miracle to have a battle hardened lady like Felice become the graceful girl you currently see, through the span of just a few months.

"You're too kind sir, I'm just an average girl that so happens to be blessed with a great mother as a teacher. If anyone else were in my shoes, they would be the exemplar person you praise me of being" I mean it isn't a lie to say that her mother is one of the best teachers, but you can't say that Felice is a normal student either, being someone talented enough to rise from an orphan to knight captain.

Standing right behind Letisha, there was a maid with a pony tail just bursting with admiration of her young lady's performance, you could hear the brown haired ponytail maid mutter to herself

"As expected of our young miss, she is a fine noble lady without imperfection, whether it be in speech or attitude. Even the humbleness she embraces attracts the hearts of many. I would say she is definitely the inheritor of our madam's blood"

Marie sure is my fan....

Hearing Letisha's response, Patrick seemed to see her in a better light. Not all people would show this type of composure and indifference when being complimented. "l see, then young lady, If I may be so bold to inquire where you're destination is?"

"Destination?" I guess there is no point in not telling him where we are heading "Me and my companion Marie are heading for the flytian royal academy for my enrollment."

"The academy..." Patrick only softly spoke the destination where Letisha was heading, but if you could sense how he felt inside, you could see the excitement he's hiding

"I see so you're a new student! If that's the case, then I have something that will help you in some way" Patrick's face lit up as he abruptly took out something from his robes that looks to be a piece of paper, and revealed it to Letisha "This is my card, I just so happen to know some people within the academy, If you need something, find some faculty and I'm sure they will help you"

Letisha took the card from Patrick's hand and inspected it. She looked at it and found out it was just his name on a card, nothing else. She couldn't get any more information regarding Patrick at all,

this made her feel a little frustrated. Would it hurt to have your occupation included!

But Letisha wouldn't let her emotions go out of control when encountering something she can't see through. No matter the identity of this man, it won't be bad to take this card, maybe it would be useful in some way "I appreciate the kind gesture, Sir Patrick, I am very grateful for this favor, If possible I'd like to repay you some time in the future"

"Oh, no thanks needed young lady" Patrick waved his hands kindly rejecting her offer

"I owe you one for being so accommodating for me when I dropped my glasses in front of your carriage afterall. Just think of this as repayment for troubling you on your trip"

Letisha would be rude to force him to accept her goodwill, so she had no choice but to let him have his way.

Even if his gift was only a card in physical form, this had an actual deeper meaning. What the gift meant was allowing Letisha to use this man's name to solve a problem for her. Letisha was convinced this man was somebody with power, so using his name will help alot. You could say she came out the winner in this exchange, just stopping her carriage got her a one time backer, very fortunate indeed.

***

After a little more small talk with Patrick, Letisha handed the card towards Marie and gave a courteous bow. "Well, we will have to excuse ourselves here Sir Patrick, I'm afraid we won't be able to reach the academy for the orientation if we don't head out."

"I see, well best of luck young lady. It was nice meeting you today, I hope your travels fare well"

The three of them split their ways as Letisha and Marie head for their carriage, while Patrick heads the opposite way.

As Patrick was walking away from the pair, he chuckled 'Looks like an interesting seed will be entering my school'
