Give Her Back

Chapter 6

No one's pov

Marinette decided she was done sketching and looked at the time. It was barely 8:01a.m. So basically, no time went by. But she put on the tiara that looked like nothing and went downstairs for breakfast since she didn't have any yet. She hasn't even tried her desserts.

So far, the only people at the table included Adrien, Emilie, and Tom. The rest were taking care of business. Marinette took her seat and a platter of food was set right In front of her. And she ate. Though it wasn't the best in her opinion, it was edible.

Marinette's pov

And, it made sense, the cooks themselves were vampires and had no desire in really cooking good food since they preferred more blood than actual food. But, i, myself, still wanted food.

I finished and my mother entered the dining room and took a seat. My personal maid then came and handed me a a watched. It has a button and I pressed it. My entire schedule for today was there and it was a hologram. This place was very up to date on technology.

The list was long, and something that caught my attention was hunting. What the neck was that supposed to mean? Hunting for people and sucking their blood up? Cause if that was the case, I'd have to run away.

I pressed the button again and it disappeared. It was a simple wristwatch. So I put it on.

"Princess, that watch will change everyday and tell you what the day has planned for you".

" thank you for informing me".

"Your welcome princess".

She curtsied away and I just thought on the first thing I had to do. Take the placement test.

I knew I was going to do great. Actually, more than great, a little to good would be my answer.

I was taken to some random place after dinner by my stepfather. I think it was a school. The point is, he was wearing some sort of disguise and I just had to deal with it all. I was Marinette Fu. Not Dupain-Cheng or Wayne Cheng.

I was escorted to a classroom by a lady and my stepfather just stayed. I was told to take a seat and to verbally answer questions. And I thought this was all so stupid.

It started with her asking me what colors are these and pointing to basic shapes I had to name. I quickly answered them all. Then she gave me simple words which I easily said. She then went on to me naming some vowels and consonants which was very easy.

She then moved me to math and have me some simple picture problems that I quickly solved. She kept on asking me millions of questions about so many more random things until she had nothing left.

" Well young Fu, we just completed the fifth grade level standards and you know them a little too well. You're not for for elementary. I suggest you tell your guardian to make you take the secondary placement test".

"Ok, I will".

I walked out the room and found Tom.

" I'm not fit for this school".

"Yeah, I heard".

" How, with your magical hearing"?

"That exactly" .

"Cool, so, am I taking the placement test there as well"?

" Yes. So let's go".

THey left for the middle school and she quickly got taken to some random classroom. She was once again given some more verbal questions and answered them all in a very professional way.

"Marinette, I'm sorry, but you aren't fit for this school either. Perhaps Preparatory grade levels will work for you because there is nothing we can do here for you".

" Oh, ok. I'll speak with my father then".

She left back to Tom and they went to some random high school. Marinette took the placement test there and once again, there was no need for her.

"Well Marinette, I don't know what to say. You're only five and there's no need for you to go to school. So what do you want. Would you like to go to school with Adrien or stay in the palace and work on other things"?

" I'll go to school with the blonde kid. I want to make friends like he said".

"Very well then Marinette. Your mother will be proud of you. So let's go".

And the two left the school.

They went back to the palace and Marinette looked at her watch. She had a five hour lesson with her mother. And she knew this wasn't going to be pretty. But she went along and entered the room her mother was supposed to be in. And when she arrived, she only saw the man she met a few hours ago.

He was the one who watched her make the sweets.

" Hello princess, the queen will be with you momentarily. She has some things to take care of".

"Oh, okay. What's your name"?

" Ian Kindroughl ".(Pronounced kindrol)

" Can I call you Sir Kindroughl instead? And, and you can call me Lady Mari "!

" As you wish, lady Mari ". He smiled at her.

" thank you Sir Kindroughl ". She smiled at him. He was just as comforting as Alfred. And now, she definitely wasn't going to forget him.

" I'm your personal butler of you haven't noticed yet".

"Oh, so what about my personal maid"?

" Oh, she takes care of your dressing, and self care and simple things like that. She gives you the lady advice you need and when the queen asks her to. And I'm just do everything else. Like please you in any way. Like what we did a moment ago, lady Mari ".

" Oh, that makes a lot more sense, sir Kindroughl ".

Sabine later arrived and took Marinette away. She taught her many things. Things that looked very simple but the steps were quite hard. Like for example, sitting like a proper lady. You don't just sit on the chair. You make it comfortable and sit with your bottom legs crossed. Not the top part.

Then, there were certain ways to hold certain utensils. And that lesson took forever because there were at least seven different utensils that each had a different style of holding. And then came the glass cups and wine glasses. Or more known as flutes. Each of the different types of flutes had specific names and uses.

Not each glass was used for any type of wine or drink. So this was another very hard lesson to learn. But the rest was easy. And a little confusing. But little Mari managed and she was scheduled to have another five hour lesson with her mother next week.

So she ate her lunch and went up to her bedroom only to find the blonde boy.

" Ooh, you're finally here. My mum says your going to go to school with me next week. Aren't you happy "?

" Oh, yes. I am very happy. And, what's your name again? I forgot".

"Oh, that's okay, it's Adrien. But you can always call me something else if you'd like".

" Nah, I prefer Adrien. It sounds nice anyways".

"Great, how has Tikki been"? He asked her. He really wanted to know if she finally opened up to the girl because the last time he was here, Tikki was mad.

" Well, she doesn't really talk to me. But that's okay. I'll be able to handle her. And, it's not like she'll dislike me forever. That I know won't happen ".

" Well, I hope you keep believing in change because I'd do the same. Now, so you wanna play a game in my room"?

"Sure! Let's go".

" Okay, follow me".

And they happily left and played video games.
