"Every rule that seems absurdly strict has an even more unbelievable story behind it. Don't believe me? Take a look at the Lyceum's rulebook." — Contess

Rule 4, Clause 5: Practicing magic inside the library is strictly prohibited. Rumor has it a student once attempted an explosion spell there. Contess stopped it in time, but nearly a third of the ceiling was destroyed.
3
Rule 6, Clause 1: Students must bow respectfully whenever they encounter the academy rulebook.
There's no dramatic story behind this one. It's simply the result of Contess' rather questionable sense of humor.

5
Due to the restrictions of her contract, Contess can only appear before a few people. Out of boredom, she often pesters 
Zorya and Leymar to keep her company. Records show that Leymar has been dragged into 3,518 chess matches with her.
6
Despite her workload, Contess knows how to enjoy life. Hot baths, novels, snacks, music—she indulges in all of them. At one point she even asked Zorya to bring back delicacies from across the realm. That request was promptly rejected.
7
The library's lounge had long gone unused, so Contess boldly "requisitioned" it for herself, filling it with personal belongings. "Don't touch anything," she repeatedly warned after Merlin arrived.

At first, Headmaster Leymar opposed placing Contess in the library. But after Merlin demonstrated the useful side of her powers—such as forcing long-ignored rules to be immediately enforced—he finally agreed.
