The Empire of Reimia (3)

Miya prepared for this test quite a while in the library, trying to understand the situation and recalling her own experiences. The girl really wanted to see good things in those around her, and she had great difficulty coming to terms with the fact that Rinze seemed like a tyrant. All these dreams only confirmed it… It wouldn’t be so scary, but there was also the oath…
And yet, at some point, something clicked for Miya. She liked the thought that came to her mind. No, actually, the girl wasn't sure at all, but the idea that the Empress staged a showy, but fake execution… Well, it gave hope. And the girl clung to it because she didn't want to think about what else could happen. She wanted to serve an empress who might be strict, but is kind and just. One who doesn't punish for trivial matters and won't start a war on her own. All of this culminated in writing Xenomia.
Also, last month, the girl tried to work on her image, improve her skincare routine, and finally found a hairstyle that suits her more or less.

Honestly, she expected that hard work on the test, her sincerity, and goodwill, as well as trying to fix the problems that Kamiya Yuki pointed out last time, would allow her to at least maintain her previous grade – but that didn't happen... Miya felt silly; she had improved herself externally, but according to the grades, she was still doing poorly.

Xenomia, this applies to you to a lesser extent.

"I even tried to write correctly! Did I make any mistakes somewhere and wrote about the Empress in a conversational style?"

Otherwise, good knowledge of facts, but your work lacks the main thing; however, before asking what it is, try to figure it out yourself.

—I will… I’ll try to understand, Teacher Grace…
