My Wife is a Sassy Queen

Liliana explained, “As I said Yes and No.”

“The first one is the most underrated and overlooked one. If you score an A+ either in the entrance or in the class, you get a scholarship. A+ is 95% for Kings High and it’s not easy to score. There were only seven students in the last three decades who managed it. As a sub-clause to this, the scholarship student can also pass on the scholarship to another student who did not get in.”

She clarified to the avid listeners, “This sub-clause was added at my request. The chosen student has to pass a series of tests which were also designed by me. And trust me when I say, none of those tests are easy. The student who was sponsored by my scholarship managed to earn his own after two semesters and we sponsored another one and subsequently ended up sponsoring 4 students throughout my tenure in Kings High.”

She paused to see if they had any questions and continued, “The second is like Jenn said – you have noble blood. This is an outdated concept though. After democracy was established in P city 88 years ago, this was altered to ‘scoring A- or above and the enormous school fees’.”

She continued as they nodded along, “Then lastly you have the rich people rule. If you sponsor 50 underprivileged students who managed to score B+ and above in the Kings High entrance, then you get one seat with the enormous school fees again. Those 50 students get to study in one of the finest schools in P city. They have to maintain A- and above grade otherwise they get swapped out next year. The students are monitored by Kings High – the school selection, grade evaluation, everything is managed by Kings High.”

Henry concluded for her, “Basically, you have to have a ton of money or you have to be very smart to enter Kings High.”

Jenn cocked her head at Liliana and said, “The Gods are unfair, how can you have both?”

Jonathan asked, “I did not know about the first rule.”

Henry snorted at him. “Of course, you don’t. No matter how many times I said it, you never believed me. You guys always thought I got in because of my family’s status.”

Liliana debunked him, “Before democracy, you would have got in because of your family’s status. Qazi’s have been traditional medicine practitioners for generations and are quite respected. Your father tried to straddle both and hence your fortune was depleted dramatically. But with your success in modern medicine and your cousin Amelia’s research in traditional medicine, you should be back on track.”

Henry frowned, “How do you know Amelia?”

Liliana smirked at him without replying.Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.

Henry understood it right away. No wonder Amelia’s research was going so well. It was sponsored by PRI – Petrova research institute.

Henry looked at Liliana and sighed, “I hate you.”

Jenn seconded him, “It’s kind of scary how she knows more about what’s going on in P city than all of us combined.”

Liliana shrugged at them, “Not all, just the important things and people.”
