The Royal Tutor Series

Chapter 1

It was a rather quiet day in the Kingdom of Granzreich, perhaps a little too quiet. The prince's tea time was over and they were getting ready to head back to their lessons. They then realized that Heine has disappeared.

"Huh, where did Heine go?" Leonard asked.

"I don't know," Bruno replied. "I say we should go and look for him."

The four of them nodded their heads and proceeded to walk together around the palace searching for their tutor.

They were approaching their father's study.

Bruno said to his brothers, "perhaps father has seen him-"

BOOM!

BANG!

The four princes jumped at the sudden loud sounds.

"What in the world!" Bruno exclaimed.

Suddenly, the door flew open as Heine proceeded to stomp and almost strut out. His cheeks were scarlet with his eyes widened. He was sweating from complete rage.

The princes jumped and hid behind the open door.

"Did you call me all the way here to tell me that!" Heine exclaimed. "I'm afraid you've wasted your breath!"

Heine turned around and stomped, almost strutting away.

The Princes looked on in shock, for they have never seen their calm, cool-headed tutor so furious.

Once Heine was out of site, the Princes came out of hiding and proceeded to peek into their father's study. They saw their father picking up one of his big study chairs, and judging from the loud sounds they heard, it appeared that the chair was thrown across the room.

"Father...." Bruno mustered up the courage to say.

"Oh, my boys!" Viktor happily said. "It's so nice to see all of you! What brings you here?"

The princes were nearly in disbelief, for their father was acting as if nothing happened.

"Father! We saw everything! What happened?" Leonard shouted almost angrily.

Viktor grew quiet. His face went from cheerful, to completely stone straight.

"It is nothing to worry yourselves about" Viktor calmly replied.

"Father please...." Bruno said pleadingly with worry.

"Please my sons, don't stress yourselves. Heine and I just got into a minor disagreement. Just give him some time, it is nothing to worry about," Viktor said.

"Minor?!" Licht exclaimed. "He threw a chair across the room father!"

Viktor didn't care to reply. He sat at his desk, proceeding to sign a piece of paperwork.

The princes looked at him with slight worry in their faces.

"Father...." Kai finally spoke. "Are you angry?"

"I'm not angry," Viktor replied. However, as soon as he said that the tip of the fountain pen he held in his hand snapped while the barrel gave a splitting crack in his tight grip.

"I'm irritated."
