Volume 3 Chapter 41: Speech
There was a moment of silence before Carolyn shouted, "Keith, you're first place!"
"..." Keith wanted to say something about this. He was holding back so hard when he saw the devious expression on Carolyn's face!
I'm in pinch distance!
"And this year's freshman representative is also Keith Freed!" Cadmus shouted! Everyone's expression changed even more when they heard that.
"Please come up and say this year's greeting!" Cadmus turned in Keith's direction. Keith sighed. There was nothing he could do now.
"Understood!" Keith walked up to the podium. While he was doing this, everyone was staring at him. All the attention was on him.
"He's the legendary fourth son of Marquis Freed."
"He's the creator of the White Forest Bakery and White Owl Merchant company."
Everyone heard about Keith's name at least once. His name was intertwined with the White Forest Bakery and White Owl Merchant Company. And those two were widely known.
When he was up on the stage, Cadmus had a big grin on his face,
"I've been waiting for the day of your enrollment," His stomach was going to be filled with good food!
"Principal Cadmus, can you not say something like that?" Keith let out a dry cough. You do understand everyone could hear you, right?!
"What? The principal had been waiting for this child's enrollment?!"
"What is his relationship with the principal?!"
"How could he act like this?!"
More people were confused as to it. From what Cadmus said, it seemed the two knew each other!
"Huh? Principal Cadmus? Why are you calling me that? Call me grandpa like the other times," Cadmus scoffed. He liked Grandpa more than the principal. Since Keith said it so many times, it stuck with him.
"..." Dude!!! Keith didn't know whether to laugh or cry at the moment. Carolyn was crying on the sidelines. That was because everyone's eyes turned wide.
"Grandpa?!"
"He calls the principal Grandpa?!"
"Are you kidding me?!"
There were so many royals eyeing them down. That was because the principal was an ancient dragon capable of destroying everything. Yet this child called him Grandpa!
"Principal Cadmus, we're in a formal background," They were in front of so many royals!
"Who cares," Cadmus shrugged his shoulders. He really didn't care about what was going on around him.
"And stop calling me Princip-Mgh!" Before Cadmus could say anything else, Sohma came up behind and clotheslined him. Sohma turned to Keith,
"Sorry about that, Student Keith." He never expected this fool to do something like that!
"It's fine, Vice-Principal," Keith shook his head at the sight. He turned to the students. Cadmus had placed even more pressure on him than normal!
Showing the closeness the two had made people wonder even more!
Keith looked at the script that was on the stand. Easy. Keith stated, "Let's sing our anthem,"
Like that, everyone started to sing the anthem calmly. Afterward, Keith was going to end it like this.
"And Keith here has some few words for you all!"
"What?!" Keith was going to go crazy! He couldn't believe he would say something like that! Sohma looked like he was going to tear him a new one.
Keith took a deep breath and stated, "The last words I have to say to everyone is that let's have a pleasant school year. And I'm happy to make friends with everyone here,"
The expressions on everyone's face changed when they heard that. But Keith didn't mind as he walked back to his seat. I'm glad this is over with.
Carolyn had a grin on her face as she stared at Keith,
"Good job out there, Keith," Gabriel praised. Under all that pressure, he continued to have a straight face.
"Thanks," Keith sighed. The pledge continued with Sohma being the one to say it. It didn't take long before Sohma told the students to break.
Keith and Carolyn walked over to their parents.
"Big Brother, that was awesome!" Leon and Laura were the first ones to come and grab his legs!
"...Thanks," Keith had nothing to say about it. But Grandpa Cadmus really tried to screw me over.
"My son is this year's representative," William chuckled.
"Kid, that was an interesting speech," Julius laughed.
"..." Keith's expression turned dark.
"Big sister Carolyn!" The two little children shouted as they rushed over to Carolyn's side!
"I missed the two of you!" Carolyn hugged the two tightly. Carolyn would meet the two little ones from time to time. And the three were ever so close.
"Heh," The two kids giggled as they hugged her tightly. While that happened, Thalia stated,
"Keith, please watch over my daughter during the school year,"
"Don't worry about it, Aunty. I will watch over her," Keith nodded.
"Mother," Carolyn blushed when she heard that.
Keith laughed, "What? She's worried you might do something stupid,"
"You're the one who's going to do something stupid!" Carolyn quipped. But Keith pinched her cheeks.
"Tsk, tsk."
"We have to go now," Keith noticed the students were going to their classrooms now.
"Stay safe!" One by one, his family members hugged him. The last two were Leon and Laura.
"Guys, while I'm gone, I'm going to trust you guys to water and take care of the garden, okay?" Keith stated. It was an important job.
"Mmhmm!" "Okay!" The two children nodded their heads. Keith smiled and hugged the two of them. Keith turned to Aria and Fira, "Fira, Aria, I'm going to summon you guys later."
"Understood!" Like that, the two left their families and headed off to class.
