Her father's situation is quite confusing. He is well respected, so it seems like he should easily be able to find work (perhaps a teaching position, they all don't seem to have a lot to teach XD).
It's also difficult to understand what he is doing. He doesn't seem to be the type of person to just remain idle (you don't get the level of respect he does without hard work and that becomes a habit), and he is not behaving in any way that suggests despair (he's not drinking himself silly or anything else), so what exactly is keeping him occupied?
In any case, Patience certainly is ensuring that her time is completely filled up. XD I wonder if she'll have time to improve desserts eventually.
She really shouldn't have played that Mozart piece because now "her" music talent has the club's full attention.
I guess she'll be going to the royal palace on Friday evening and then spending the weekend? I assume she'll have to send a letter back home to explain her not being able to return that weekend.
Well... assuming the "fragment" is actually patience's ego/soul still around and not some navi type being. Maybe she dipped already or threw in the towel in trying to get mc to be ladylike considering she hasn't said a word in the chapter.
"Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake" and, oh boy, is Patience improving her prestige amongst her peers with her actions, so I'd say she doesn't have anything to comment on right now because she's satisfied with everything Patience is doing.
But it's also possible the original ego is not the perfect lady. It doesn't seem that she noticed anything about being late to go to the princess' room after class so perhaps she was just as engrossed into the book on courses as the controlling ego and failed to remind her on this important task.
Or perhaps Patience is so preoccupied she literally has no time for any other thoughts so the original ego becomes dormant.
