Phileo hired only two tutors.

But not one of them is in their right minds.

One just gives tests to his employer's children who he was supposed to teach.

The other would just criticize her employer's children in a subtle way.

'Mister's amazing too, really.'

'How did he find these people and put them next to his daughter? Did he not listen to anything I tell him.'

Adlyn is glad that Leonia did not doubt Phileo's sincerity that he had hired them for her own good.

On the day when she saw him off, unable to overcome the cold and drowsiness, Leonia slept in the maid's arms.

However, even in a state of drowsiness and haziness, he could hear Phileo's voice as clearly as stroking Leonia's head and saying he would come back soon.

'Old man Ardea isn't a bad person either.'

Fortunately, Ardea is faithful to the nature of a tutor, just like the manhua.

Leonia read the amount of books he gave them, took notes as soon as she saw something she didn't understand or didn't know, went to Ardea and asked a question.

He also showed sincerity to review and ask questions on the spot when a problem was cleared.

Adlyn in the same day of reading the book would ask Ardea questions concerning dates and the economic standards of the history of the empire.

The old man didn't seem bothered by his constant presence and his curious questions, which often leads to a whole new topic.

Though he was surprised that the boy could read a 300 page book in minutes and understands what he read, even quoting exact words and ages or chapters they're in.

Then, from a certain moment, his demeanor changed little by little.

The warm-hearted grandfather, who only answered questions he was asked in detail, teaches them what they hadn't read yet and turns into a picky grandfather who asked about what they thought of this and that.

Though it is mostly Leonia answering his questions as Adlyn couldn't understand the topics they spoke about.

Seeing this issue, Ardea organize a preliminary class for Adlyn before commencing the official class.

It was strange.

Adlyn walks to the room they have history class only to notice Ardea, Cara and Rupert in the room.

"Where's Leonia? Isn't it class time?"

Adlyn asks, scanning the room. Ardea waves him off as he says it's a class just for him.

"For me?"

"Yes, Your Highness. Now before we begin, can you give all your things to the Miss please?"

Adlyn, not sure what's happening, slowly gives his notes, books and crayons to Cara. She smiles kindly before moving them away from him.
