Bab 55: Impending Separation

In Asteria's palace dining hall that night, Amaya announced her intention of taking an admission test for Senior High School.

The people inside the dining hall all looked at her with weird expressions on their faces. 

"But big sister, you have never been to school." Danella suddenly blurted out.  "Shouldn't you start as an elementary pupil?"

"Daddy taught me.  It is like I was home schooled."  Amaya protested.  She looked at King Duncan pleadingly.

"Grandpa, Dad I would like to go to school."  She said in a gentle tone.

"Why do you keep on calling Father as 'Dad.'  My brother and I call him Father so why can't you call him the same way?"  Danella spoke rudely.

"What's wrong?  I call my father Ibrahim, Daddy.  Why can't I call Daddy Ibarra the same way?"  Amaya reasoned in a gentle way.  "Why don't you call him Daddy as well?"

"Mother, Amaya is bullying me."  Danella pouted as she complained.
