Mr. Hafterry smiled and looked down at me quietly. His face was cool enough to make him feel cold. It wasn’t even a scolding.

An expressionless expression of unknown meaning filled my chest with frustration. I just wanted to make sure that Mr. Hafterry didn’t get hurt too much by my rash actions.

“If you want to keep learning from me, you can take classes with me as we are now.”

Mr. Hafterry’s positive remarks made me almost scream hurray unknowingly. Barely suppressing joy and relief, I looked at him.

“Is that okay?”

“Thinking about it, it’s actually a good thing. If you want to increase the class time with the Grand Princess, you can reduce the class with me.”

I flinched at Mr. Hafterry’s words. Thinking about it, it’s actually a good thing… I was even more disturbed by the sudden terrifying thought.

“Is it good for you if I ask others to teach me? Were you burdened by me?”

Do you want to stop teaching me? The question never came out of my mouth. But as if trying to melt my anxiety, Mr. Hafterry smiled kindly again.

“It’s good for you, Aren, not me. There is a limit to learning from only one person. Be careful not to be narrow-minded with various experiences.”

It seemed too difficult for an 8-year-old child, but I can understand it, so I exclaimed and smiled, I’ll do my best!.

So, I decided to take class with Mr. Hafterry twice a week, and the rest of the time with Kir.

I negotiated smoothly with Mr. Hafterry, who I thought would be the most problematic, but the problem came out of Kir unexpectedly. When I said that I will continue to study with the person I used to learn twice a week, Kir was surprised and asked why I was doing that.

“Why do you want to keep studying from other people? You were supposed to study with me!”

As expected, when things didn’t go his way, the childish figure came out.

“Yes. I was going to take classes with you. But I didn’t mean to study with you every day.”

Kir rolled his feet, as if it was difficult to refute my words.

“How can that be! Then…..ah! The class’ progress will not be right!”

It seems like he forcibly created a reason.

“Of course, it wasn’t right from the start. Because there is someone I used to study from. I can coordinate it with him. Don’t worry.”

“Just study every day with me. You can study with me, why else would you say you want to study separately? Don’t do that, come to the mansion every day.”

Since logical persuasion seemed impossible, Kir went into stubborn whining. But I’m not the one who would be shaken by Kir. I slashed Kir’s request as coldly as if I was catching a fly with a fly swatter.

“No. My original teacher is also a good person. If you don’t like it, I won’t study with you.”

As I talked, the more I thought about it, the more I realized that I got along really well with Mr. Hafterry. Having a good teacher for your studies was also really important.

In my previous life, the period of compulsory education was long, so I went to school and changed teachers every year to teach. Were there really only teachers who were right for me during that time? All of them are people who have passed great tests and have experience. I don’t think their abilities are bad, but that doesn’t mean they and I are good together.

Everyone is different. And children are especially sensitive. For some, praising will be more effective, and for others, harsh scolding will be more effective. Knowledge may remain, and there may be people whom you respect with your heart.

Mr. Hafterry doesn’t seem to have had much teaching experience, but he has handled me well. He sometimes was stern, sometimes praises, and moderately helped me to be interested in my studies without getting tired.

I didn’t want to let go of such a person because I had a good opportunity. This was betrayal over betrayal. It’s a shame because Mr. Hafterry accepted it so generously, I was a terrible disciple.

This time, I felt it more while talking to Mr. Hafterry. I am upset that Mr. Hafterry gave me a little distance, but the bottom line is that he chose the method that was the most important for me.

“You said you would study with me too! You said you wanted to study from my teachers!”

“But if the circumstances are not right, there is nothing you can do. There is no need to force me to study.”

Kir looked at me with a look of being treated unjust at the words I spit out, and ran away. It was a stormy period that he kept running out these days. Knight Henry followed Kir with a troubled face.

If I can’t attend class, I’ll stop. Kir needed to get used to things that didn’t go his way. Since I came to the Grand Duke’s residence, I should eat some sweets.

Kir, who had gone out in anger while I was trying hard to put the cookie in my mouth, came back. I don’t know what happened outside, but it was after he had controlled his emotions. But Kir looked at my cheeks bulging with sweets and shot at me again, choked up.

“You really!”

Why, what, what?

As my eyes were in daze, Kir clenched his fists and trembled as he looked at my twitching cheeks. Then he hurriedly turned around and looked at Knight Henry. Why do you look at Knight Henry like that?

Knight Henry, who received both me and Kir’s gaze at the same time, smiled embarrassedly. For some reason, it looked like sparks were splattered in the wrong place. When Knight Henry made a loud, awkward sound, Kir spit out his emotions.

“Good. Then come only on the day you’re available. But you have to come as much as possible.”

I just shook my head at Kir’s attitude, as if saying, “I’m willing to give you permission.” I thought he’d scream back ‘I’m not going to class with you either!’. But it was an unexpected decision.

It seemed that the class at the Grand Duke’s residence would not be canceled. That also meant I had to keep the job of caring for the little boy named Kir a little longer.
