Chapter 16: CH 16

Lord George looked around and led Leticia into an empty room.

“Your Highness Michael will be waiting.”

“He’ll like it more if he waits. Since he doesn’t like classes at all.”

“Was today’s schedule a class?”

Leticia, who had never heard of the schedule, blinked in a little surprise.

“Does the schedule matter?”

“It’s important! I, I also have to prepare myself.”

George tilted his head.

“I can’t tell you the schedule every day, and it seems like unnecessary worry.”

“…..Yes?”

Leticia asked back blankly.

“Wasn’t I only called when I was needed? Only when it is necessary for His Highness Michael to have a conversation with the Lord or someone else…..”

“Miss Woods, let me ask you one thing.”

“What is it?”

“Do you think there’s a time when you talk or when you don’t?”

“…..Ah.”

“If I had to say, it would be when you awake to when you were sleeping. Miss Woods can also support your Highness Michael accordingly.”

“I have to stick with His Highness all day?”

“Why, you don’t like it?”

“No, no. It’s not that I don’t like it, but…..”

Leticia slurred her tongue. Now that I see it, there was a separate reason why the salary was so huge.

I have to stay with Michael, starting from the moment he wakes up to the time he goes to bed!

Leticia thought she should do her best to help Michael speak normally quickly.

“And to answer the questions you asked me earlier….”

“What, what was it?”

Leticia then remembered that they had a separate reason for entering this empty room, but she was so flustered that she forgot the reason.

Lord George looked at Leticia with pitiful eyes.

“Didn’t you ask why I can’t just leave His Highness alone like this, isn’t it safer?”

“That’s right.”

Lord George bowed down and whispered in her ear as if it wasn’t enough for them to be in an empty room.

“His Highness Michael…. is very resentful about the fact that no one doesn’t understand his words.”

“Yes?”

“He cries every night. I always pretend that I don’t know.”

“……”

Leticia was at loss for words.

A future tyrant who will execute countless people and bring blood to the empire is now wetting his pillowcase every night.

But the Michael she knew was a boy who would have been more than enough.

A boy was as lonely and isolated as Leticia. A boy who is kind to the public and considerate of others and has a soft spot. That was Michael that Leticia knew.

“……I’ll work hard.”

“You should.”

Lord George left the room with a look of satisfaction.

Only 30 minutes later.

Leticia regretted what she had just said.

In the study, not only Michael but also a new teacher was waiting for her.

According to Lord George, it was Tessa Schweiger, a professor at the prestigious academy who had been hard to recruit.

Professor Schweiger, who had his half-gray hair tied up to an onion ponytail, stared at Leticia with fierce eyes as soon as she appeared.

“Welcome, Miss Leticia Woods right?”

“Yes.”

Leticia replied, trembling.

“You’re late, but since it’s the first day, I’ll overlook this one. Go ahead and take a seat.”

Professor Schweiger pointed to the seat right next to Michael.

It was a chair made of ebony wood, considered the best wood on the whole continent, and covered with silk on it. Of course, it didn’t fit Leticia’s status.

Leticia looked around for another chair, but it was the only place to sit.

“I’m taking a seat?”

“From what I hear, there are two people in my class today.”

Leticia looked for Lord George to ask for help, but he had already left the door.

“There must be some mistake. I can barely read letters. I’ve never been to an academy or prepared for it.”

“You can read letters? That’s great. You saved me the trouble of teaching the alphabet.”

Leticia stared at Professor Schweiger because she thought he was making fun of her, but his serious face did not go gold.

“If you don’t want to take my class, go out. I don’t let anyone in the classroom except students.”

After all, Leticia had no choice. She sat next to Michael, holding her breath as much as she could.

It was our first meeting since I learned about Michael’s identity, so I was quite nervous, but Michael seemed to be okay.

Professor Schweiger distributed the textbooks to them one by one. It was a very thick book with the words ‘Debrandt’s History’ engraved in gold leaf on the cover.

“It’s a textbook that you’ll be making yourself in the future.”

“Yes?”

“Open it.”

Leticia and Michael turned over the cover almost at the same time.

“…..!”

Leticia’s golden eyes were shaken.

‘It’s not a textbook’

When I turned over the cover, it was a blank notebook.

“In the future, as you write down what you’ve learned in the book, you’ll make your own textbooks.”

“Well, so we only learn history?”

Leticia asked in a crawling voice.

I really didn’t want to ask any questions, but I couldn’t help it. I needed to prepare myself.

“It can’t be, right?”

Professor Schweiger sighed softly.

“The Crown Prince should be taught his specialties by many teachers, but…. Because of the situation, I decided to take all the subjects I could take. Your Highness will learn history, politics, and mathematics from me.”

Leticia was relieved. Three subjects didn’t feel that much. However, Professor Schweiger had a knack for destroying Leticia’s expectations.

“Of course, once the Crown Prince has mastered the three subjects, he will be able to start other subjects.”

“……”

“Okay, let’s get started. Shall we?”

The content of the class that followed was simply hopeless. Leticia didn’t understand a single sentence properly.

Professor Schweiger said, write down only what you remember in your notebook, with a face that seemed to be expecting something.

“…..I’m, I’m sorry. I don’t remember at all.”

“It’s okay. So, let’s see how much you stir, shall we?”

Michael also held out a blank sheet. Professor Schweiger frowned.

“I guess neither of you is not used to writing this textbook. Shall we answer questions?”

“Plum.”

Leticia sat blankly in surprise at Michael’s answer, soon barely realizing her role and explained.

“Ok, I’m sure it means okay. Your Highness likes fruit.”

“That’s good. Let’s get started. If any of you know the answer, you can answer it. Before the founding of our Debrandt empire, the continent was divided into countless countries.”

Leticia was a little relieved. She couldn’t remember the names of the dead whose she didn’t even know their faces.

“The territorial size of each country is so small that even a small rural estate now declares itself as an independent state. Even the first emperor was from a country that wasn’t very big. In fact, he is from a country smaller than our capital now.”

Leticia began to lose her concentration. What kind of question is this long?

“Here’s the question. Why was the continent made of such small countries at the time?”

“…..?”

Leticia blinked. Surprisingly, the questions did not consist of very difficult words, and it was very easy to understand.

But the answer was a different matter.

‘It was before the first emperor established the empire, so it must have been small, right?’

Of course, Leticia didn’t speak it out because she was clever enough to know that her ideas were never the answer.

Then Michael uttered a word.

“Ankylosaurus.”

Leticia was greatly embarrassed.

Michael’s answer wasn’t straightforward, contained an unexpected content, and was not far off.

She couldn’t understand what Michael had just said!

“Ankylosaurus?”

Professor Schweiger did not panic. He looked at Leticia and asked.

“What does Your Highness want to say?”

“I, I don’t know.”

Leticia was desperately trying to think, but the word Ankylosaurus itself was a word she had heard for the first time in her life.

Michael looked at Leticia with a look of wonder and said once again.

“Ankylosaurus.”

“I don’t know……”

Leticia tried to cover her face with her hands, but she stopped.

I couldn’t act like a raccoon who runs away and hits his head in the bushes without a start ring.

Professor Schweiger frowned.

“Clearly, I was told through Miss Woods that communication with His Highness was sufficient. What is this?”

“So, so far, I’ve understood. But now…. I don’t know.”

Leticia repeatedly said, ‘I don’t know,’ like a broken doll.

Professor Schweiger stood up from his seat and took the books from their hands.

“We can’t proceed with any more classes because the promise hasn’t been kept. I’ll tell Lord George separately.”

Just before he left through the door, he gave them some painful advice when he looked back.

“If you have another teacher, please don’t miss the chance.”

Leticia fell on an antique table.

“Michael… Your Highness, what did you mean by that?”

Michael clapped his lips but said nothing.

Leticia soon realized why. Michael was worried that even Leticia could never interpret what he said.

She hurried on.

“It’s not your problem. I just….”

Lord George burst in and Leticia’s words were interrupted.

‘…….’

Leticia felt a little surprised and miserable.

She naturally thought Lord George would be angry because she didn’t meet his expectations.

But Lord George looked so desperate that made Leticia’s heartache.

“Miss Woods.”

“I’m sorry.”

Lord George slumped in the seat where Professor Schweiger sat.

“No, there’s nothing to be sorry about. Just tell me what the problem was. Is your ability gone?”
