After that, the Young Master took lessons from a total of three teachers this week.
Count Clant for the successor class.
Mrs Silviet for the etiquette.
Sir Azerton for education.
They are the best people. Even Mrs Sylviet was the Princeās teacher of etiquette. I wasnāt sure if it was a good idea to leave the succession class to Count Clant, but after peeking into his class, I had no choice but to agree.
He, too, as expected, was the most outstanding person.
So the Duke must have thought it would be better for the Count to teach him the basics.
āThat way heāll save his timeā there has been no change in the Dukeās affection.ā
I, too, was relieved by Mrs Sylviet and Sir Azertonās sincere treatment of the Young Master.
So I decided to take my time for the first time too.
āWhy are you going there with a carriage like thisāā
The Young Master looked restlessly at the carriage I was in.
Some people might misunderstand that there is a problem with the wheel or somewhere else, butāthis is a very ordinary carriage.
A carriage used by the servants.
But even if it were a carriage used by servants, it would be different if those servants worked for Denkart. Honestly, in terms of size and parts, it was comparable to the carriage in our merchant. Rather, it was luxurious.
So, that means there is no problem.
Even so, the Young Master looked at the carriage with a very dissatisfied look.
Well, heās the Young Master who has always ridden in the top-class four-wheelers carriageāhowever, Iām just a commoner and a servant, right? So he canāt apply the same standard to me.
I even waved my hand at the Young Master, who told me he would prepare another carriage.
āBecause this is enough for meāā
ā¦Please stop and go in now.
I swallowed my words and looked around.
Even gardeners who passed by and gatekeepers at the main gate who had been there for a while were surprised to see this.
āHurry up and go in. I hope you have a good class today.ā
Wayne, who was a few steps away, seemed to agree with what I was saying. However, there was no sign of happiness, even though he was the one serving the Young master today instead of me.
Recently, as if he decided to reform his personality, he tried to keep a certain distance from me without bothering me.
āā¦Okay.ā
When the Young Master saw my serious look, he nodded as if he had no choice. Then Rimson Hyung pushed the wheelchair back. I got into the carriage and hurriedly opened the window to say my last goodbye to the Young Master.
However, the hair was all over the place when the carriage departed. Now that it was down to the neck, it was a mess. Even while arranging them with two hands, the carriage moved a long way.
Then I stuck my head out the window. There was the Young Master, who looked small from a distance. He didnāt move, just like when I looked at him before getting into the carriage.
It was as if he was waiting impatiently for me to come.
āā¦I told you to go in.ā
Even though the Young Master might not have been able to see it, I stuck my arm out the window and waved my hand.
āIāll be back!ā
Then the servant who was in the carriage with me told me to stop because it was dangerous.
āHehe. Iām sorry.ā
I leaned back comfortably on the back, looking around. Then, when I thought about the letter in my pocket, I let out a small sigh.
āā¦I ended up sending letters to my family too late.ā
Iāve seen opportunities in the meantime, but I havenāt been able to send it as quickly as I thought I would. Besides, I canāt ask someone to do it because thereās a chance other servants will open and read it or leave traces, so I have to go there myself.
Fortunately, I was able to pass the time quickly today. I used the tour of the capital as an excuse to see if there were any traces left.
āMom and dad must be really worried⦠Are they doing well?ā
My eyes got red when I thought of my parents, so I bowed my head. Then, to get over my sadness, I thought about the Young Master who would participate in a new class.
But I didnāt worry too much.
Aside from the fact that he was the next successor, the Young masterās attitude was great recently.
Because he works hard on everything the teacher teaches him, the result is also great.
So now Iām sure that he can do anything on his own without my help.
āItās a pity that I canāt attend Duke Azertonās class todayā¦but it canāt be helped.ā
Not long after, my carriage entered a new town in the center of the capital and soon stopped.
I sent the letter as soon as I found the signpost for the guild that was in charge of mail delivery.
Because I had more time than I thought, I could look around.
āThen⦠Shall I take a look?ā
In fact, I have been very interested in the capital. No matter how much my hometown has grown as a business district, it will still be different from the capital. Since the large market had many of the things I was interested in, after making up my mind, I headed in that direction.
In the large market, items were mostly arranged and sold on the floor rather than the display.
āHmm⦠not everything is good just because itās the capital.ā
There were a lot of delicate fake goods that the merchant, with a loud voice, was selling. When I saw it, I slowly remembered something that had been bothering me for a long time.
āAt that timeāwhy did the Emperor give Denkart a fake item?ā
Giving an imitation that wasnāt even real was an insult that would never happen again. But even though they knew this, why did the Dukeās predecessors still swear loyalty to the Imperial family?
Even that arrogant Duke.
āā¦Is there any setting Iāve missed?ā
Otherwise, I thought that the setting, which wasnāt revealed separately, might have affected it. Because no matter how novel it is, not all the settings are revealed in the original story.
āā¦Before I leave, Iāll have to look into that, too.ā
I didnāt know the details of the behind story, so I was a little worried. So I wanted to solve the problem in return for the Young Master and leave.
Other than that, there was no problem. After sending a letter, I walked around the large market until it was time to get back on the carriage.
The day went just as planned.
I mean, until someone calls my real name.
āā¦Lobelia?ā
* * *
Edric had a disappointed expression on his face in the room where the teaching was taking place. Nevertheless, he worked harder to be more involved in his work with Lobel by his side. Especially on days like today when Sir Azertonās class was held.
[Thanks to the Young Master, I am also receiving advanced education. Thank you ]
Lobel, who was excited and always said this, said that he especially liked Duke Agertonās class.
Well, even Edric didnāt like the politics or the troublesome society that made his head hurt. Heād rather be in Sir Azertonās class. In addition, when he was more aware than ever that Lobel was listening behind him, he could focus better than he was at first.
After the class, Lobel also reviewed the class materials as if he were competingā.
āā¦We can go to the capital together later.ā
Edric put a regretful expression on his face as he closed the thick book he had been studying for.
When Manelano came and offered to give him a tour of the capital, he knew he wanted to go. He felt anxious if there was something Lobel really wanted to see there. So, once Edric was used to the class, he and Lobel were going to go to the center of the capital. However, before that, Lobel said he would go to the capital first.
They were always together, but this time they were separated for a while.
[Please give me one day of personal time.]
It was the first time he had ever said that, so he couldnāt say no.
He couldnāt go with him because he said he wanted to spend his personal time. So even though he was curious about why he was going to the capital, he didnāt ask him because he believed that someday, Lobel would tell him first.
āā¦Where did Lobel go?ā
Azerton looked at Edric and the two servants with a puzzled look on his face when he walked into the room.
After that, he also did something unexpected. He opened the door and looked out the hallway as if he were looking for Lobel.
Except for Azerton, everyone in the room had their eyes wide open. No matter how exclusive a servant he was, this was too much of an interest. Moreover, Sir Azerton was a quiet person, so he never talked about anything other than his class.
As Wayne approached and delivered the news, Sir Azerton raise his eyebrow. It seemed somehow awkward.
After a moment of thinking, he sat down and turned to face Edric. Then, he waved his hand at the servants who brought thick books.
āThe class will be postponed until next time.ā
āā¦.?ā
āLetās have a brief conversation today.ā
This time, Edric was surprised.
Of the three people who taught him, Azerton was probably the most strict among them.
If the progress wasnāt made by the time he was supposed to, he wonāt leave his seat. But, to postpone his classā.
When he felt strange, Azerton suddenly asked.
āWhat is Young Masterās motivation to learn?ā
āā¦It is to inherit the Dukeās position.ā
In the midst of confusion, Edric gave a low answer to the question. Then he continued the question as if he had expected it.
āIs that so? So, what would you like to do first when you become the head family of this Denkart?ā
āNothing.ā
He said it honestly because he hadnāt decided. This is because he had a vague plan to inherit the Dukeās position. Even though he got used to noble customs and a life of luxury, he wasnāt really noble to the bone.
Because it wasnāt his goal to be ambitious, to be the head family of Denkart, to enjoy Denkartās great power, or to show off to someone.
Sir Azerton continued to ask questions as he looked at Edric, who didnāt answer.
āIs there anything Young Master would like to have?ā
āā¦No.ā
This time, he was consistent with his sullen attitude, but Azerton didnāt give in and asked again.
āThen, is there anything you donāt want to be taken away?ā
Edric didnāt answer.
However, for some reason, Lobelās face came to mind.
