Chapter 71:
unedited
All my tutors are from the Imperial Academy. You know that an opportunity like this doesn't come easily, right?"
Thats right. It was rare for people from the Imperial Academy to come to the Duchy. Mr. Haftery also studied in the Empire, but he said he didn't come from the Academy. Wouldn't it be a little different if they were from the academy? There may be a better teacher for me. What can I learn from those great teachers?
My heart shakes when I promise to live without Kirs power. But since I only receive an educational opportunity, this isnt a foul, right? I don't get everything, I just get a chance. Even if I get a chance, it's useless if I don't study. A self-rationalization took place in the mind.
As if Kir had read my agony, he whispered in a devilish voice.
I got permission from Father in advance. You just have to go to class together.
It was an intricacy that was not like Kir to even get permission from the Grand Duke in advance. However, a worry grew deeper than the surprise towards Kir.
Studying is the only thing that I'm greedy for. Besides, Kir isn't acting like a jerk like he used to be. It's a good class. It was an irresistible temptation that broke my will.
Are you going to take classes with me?
I didn't say a word, but I couldn't help but nod my head as I saw Kir smiling victoriously. Because I'm just an ordinary human who gets anxious in front of a good opportunity.
I will. I will study with you.
Really? You will be taking classes with me, right?
Kir's face opened wide.
"Yes. Its a good opportunity for me.
The relationship I thought was going to be sorted out seemed to last a little longer. I didnt want to get any deeper.
Well thought. Opportunities like this dont come easily.
When I decided to take classes together, Kir couldn't hide his joy. The corners of his lips twitch as he speaks in an arrogant tone. Even though he was stubbornly trying to endure it, it all came out.
It's obviously more profitable for me, but it was strangely uncomfortable that Kir liked it that much. I look at him. Is this some kind of multi-level thing? Why do you like it so much?
The Kir I knew was not at all a naive child, so I was even more reluctant. If he likes it like that, I don't think it's normal. Are you saying that were not going to just study? As I cast a suspicious glance.
"Hmm."
Suddenly, behind Kir, Knight Henry made a small hoarse voice. What? Not knowing why Knight Henry suddenly intervened, I looked at him, and he smiled slightly at me, and I reflexively responded with a smile. And when Kir's pleasant eyes became cold and his cheeks became puffy, Knight Henry opened his mouth.
Please be ready to report.
Huh? What? I tilted my head not knowing what he was talking about, but Kir jumped up as if he had suddenly attained enlightenment. And he said in a hurry.
Alright, Im done with my business! I'm going to tell Father. Have some tea and go!
"Huh?"
And it's not like him to rush outside without saying goodbye. Naturally, Knight Henry also disappeared after Kir, and all of a sudden, only me and Mrs. Seryl were left.
What is with that guy? It was absurd and astounding. The kid who used to tell me to hang out a little longer every day left the place first today. When I am left alone, I somehow feel abandoned.
He must have suddenly remembered something urgent. May I pour you some tea?
Mrs. Seryl smiled awkwardly, trying to calm my absurdity. But when I hear the question, I am even more amazed. Come to think of it, we didn't even pour the car and just talked in a hurry. Even if it started off with his bluntness, I didnt expect it to end like this.
I'm not in the mood to drink tea, so I put a macaron on each cheek, and I shouted with chocolate chip cookies in my hands.
I want to go home!
Mrs. Seryl laughed, finding me cute. And she asked the kitchen to pack the cookies generously and put them in my arms. I got excited and returned home in the prepared carriage.
But when I sat still and thought about it, I felt strangely uncomfortable. As I pondered over Kir's strange behavior, I realized that I had made a mistake. It looked like something had caught me. I'm not such a rash person, but I was seduced by the temptation of the moment, that I promised Kir that we would study together. I decided on my own without any discussion with Father.
I am still 8 years old. No matter how much Father respected my opinion, I should have asked him first. I was short-sighted. Also, it wasn't polite to Mr. Haftery, who used to watch my class. It was a situation that could be unpleasant enough for the teacher. I'm more concerned because I'm not dissatisfied with the class with Mr. Hafterry.
I should have discussed it with the adults after saying that I should think more about it rather than being swayed by Kir's temptation. I have been proud of myself because I was reincarnated and lived as a bright child. The first mistake I made made me sick inside.
I became a rude person. I became a mess.
I was waiting for Father, moaning with anxiety and discomfort, but I confessed to my father, who had just left work.
"Father! I made a mistake! Please forgive me!"
Father stood firm with the front door open. He had such a bad appearance, so expressionless like that sometimes made me shiver. And today, my heart was pounding even more because I felt stabbed. What should I do? I think he was disappointed. I shrugged my shoulders and looked into Father's eyes. Father opened his mouth slowly.
First of all, Im back.
As Father entered the room, he closed the front door. Come to think of it, it was so rushed that I cried without even saying hello as Father came in.
