A male spirit was waiting inside the palace library. It will be the venue where the princess' second schedule would take place.

He was occupying himself by arranging the books they will be using for his only student during their class. Well, for the matter of knowing her kingdom's history as she was a princess that would assist her elder brother once he sits in throne in the near future.

Where is ojo-sama now? She will be late if she does not arrive in. . .

He glanced at the grandfather clock inside the library as he counted down verbally.

Five

The second hand points to the number eleven.

Four

He followed where the second hand points next.

Three

The young adult removed his gaze away from the grandfather clock and looked towards the entrance door of the library.

Two

As the male spirit was in the middle of counting down to one, the carved wooden doors of the library burst open; thus revealing Altaria's princess.

One

The beige haired princess evened her breath in a hurried pace while her chest rose and fell visibly until the girl felt her breathing pattern come back to normal.

Sumimasen, Avian-san. I almost came in late for obaa-san and I were talking right after my first schedule.

Helen's figure walked across the library towards her tutor that brims with grace the way she walked and took her seat fronting the vintage bookshelf which was filled with hardbound academic journals and books

Helen's figure walked across the library towards her tutor that brims with grace the way she walked and took her seat fronting the vintage bookshelf which was filled with hardbound academic journals and books. Her seat by the arched quaint window on her right side gave a calming view of the forest-greenery scene beside her.

The girl smiled apologetically yet in a welcoming manner. 

So Avian-san, what are you going to teach this humble princess? As she sets her palms on her thighs.

Avian blinked twice as he was still in his place previously while he was waiting for the ten year old girl. He moved about and wore his own pair of reading spectacles as he held unto a history book of Altaria.

Helen-hime, turn to page 223.

The assigned tutor looked over the girl's action. He was waiting for her to arrive at the specific page.

When he heard the turning of pages stopped, he initiated their class.

 Let's start.

Along the hallways of the kingdom's palace, the prince was absentmindedly walking on his own. He was in deep thought because of what had occurred to his vision not long ago.

What was that? He wondered to himself.

It appeared so suddenly and abruptly stops in the middle when otou-san started talking. I even didn't notice when Rhinos took his leave already. He continued walking down the palace halls and turned to the left toward the spiral stairs that led to his room in the right being the only door on that side.

When the ebony haired prince arrived in front of the doors to his chamber, he reached out his hand to the doorknob and turned it clockwise.

Even so, I need to inform this to Alynna-obaasan.
