And so, a month after Lilith became a tutor and bodyguard.
Isabel lived up to expectations and became a child who liked to skip school. Of course, this was also the reason why Duke Albad specially added special courses for Isabel.
So-called arithmetic and literacy!
This really surprised me. At the age of eight or nine, she couldn't do math or read at all. She truly is a young lady.
However, considering the overall age range in this world, the child did indeed start school at this age, and the reason he quickly mastered arithmetic and literacy was entirely due to Sylvie.
Despite Lilith's carefree orcish nature, she is indeed very talented in this area, especially in arithmetic, where she is even better than me.
Therefore, when it was time for arithmetic and reading/writing, Isabel would disappear completely and could not be found at all, only reappearing when it was time to start practicing martial arts.
Of course, there are exceptions.
That is, when Katya was present, what surprised me was that her arithmetic and literacy were exceptionally poor, but compared to Isabel, she was still slightly better.
Perhaps it was a strange competitive spirit, but it was only at this time that Isabel was willing to listen to the lecture.
In short, they were all troublesome brats who gave Lilith such an assessment.
To be fair, Isabelle's skill in martial arts is indeed remarkable; she probably enjoys the course and therefore puts in a lot of effort.
I don't know how Isabel became interested in Lilith's fighting style, but it's probably related to the day she saved us.
"My King-level magic is just as explosive!"
However, Isabel didn't like me, which was a huge blow to me. If it weren't for that man with the magical artifact suddenly appearing, Lilith wouldn't have stolen my thunder.
It wasn't that I was jealous of Lilith; it was just a feeling of defeat, like I'd failed to show off.
During this month, I will spend a lot of time visiting Duke Albad. Although the lord often appears suddenly, rudely pats my head, and talks to himself in a way that is incomprehensible, he has completely accepted me.
The volume of his voice has also been noticeably controlled, which is the best thing about it.
The main reason for visiting Duke Albad was to use the Albad family's extensive library to find records of the "Seven Great Powers" and a way to awaken Leah and restore her memories.
However, after a month, the useful resources obtained were minimal. Not to mention the records of beings being swallowed by "Gluttony," there were almost no records of the "Seven Great Powers."
Whenever the topic of the "Seven Great Powers" is mentioned, it is always summarized in a simple sentence, as if it were recorded in this way on purpose. The reason for this remains unknown.
In my spare time, I would also attend Lilith's arithmetic lessons. After all, I really had nothing to do during this period, and it wouldn't be a bad thing to improve my arithmetic skills.
But most of the time he was with Lilith searching for Isabel. It seemed that the old master had taught her some kind of hiding method, which made it impossible for Lilith to smell her scent.
"What a troublesome idiot!"
It was during the time when Lilith was serving as a tutor and bodyguard that I noticed she had grown considerably, both in her speech and behavior, and even her former naiveté had matured.
How should I describe it?
It should be said that Lilith has a strong beastly aura about her.
It wasn't anything particularly annoying, but it just felt like she suddenly turned into an adult!
Yes, that's the feeling!
With the help of the Sixth Prince, the Seventh Prince did not cause much trouble in the past month, but I knew he would not sit idly by and wait for his doom, because the wedding of the Sixth Prince and Princess Nishinoru was in a few days.
Judging from the frequent appearance of guards on the streets, the royal palace takes this matter very seriously, as it concerns both countries. In addition, the sixth prince was recently infected with the "magic stone disease," so the capital has been quite strict lately.
"Should we go take a look?"
I am still agonizing over whether or not to attend the wedding of the Sixth Prince and Princess Nishino.
If the kidnapping hadn't happened, I probably wouldn't have participated. But these rare moments of leisure I've had recently are inseparable from the help of the Sixth Prince. If I didn't go, wouldn't it seem extremely impolite?
Will Leon Cabadorn be referred to as "just a rude brat" in the future?
I think it's still necessary to attend, at least to offer some simple congratulations.
Blessings such as "May you have a son soon" and "May you have a long and happy marriage"...
"Hey! Leon! Don't let your mind wander during class!"
"Yes! Teacher Lilith!"
Thinking about random things in class is indeed something that naughty kids who don't like to listen to lectures do, like Isabelle.
The seat next to me was empty; it looked like he had skipped class again.
Actually, I wanted to do that too. After all, although I'm of school age, with Sylvie's help, I've probably already passed the stage of paying attention in class.
In short, aside from the boring and idle moments, it's really hard to concentrate in Lilith's arithmetic class; one's attention is always wandering off into the distance.
But I know that doing so would cause Lilith trouble and greatly damage her confidence as a tutor, so I take time out of my day to come and teach her arithmetic lessons.
After all, she often stays up late into the night to prepare teaching materials for the next day's classes. Considering that she used to sleep until noon, the change is quite significant.
Katya would also come at this time. Unlike me and Isabel, she had a strong interest in arithmetic and literacy, probably because she enjoyed the learning atmosphere.
After all, living in the house of a patriarch with such perverse tastes is a nerve-wracking thought.
If Seg becomes like that, Sylvie's innocence will truly be in jeopardy.
Speaking of Sylvie...
"Damn it! While I was away from home, could it be that...?"
After all, that lecherous bastard has had his way with Sylvie quite a bit!
"No, no, no!"
You can't think like that. With his mother's discipline, I believe he wouldn't dare to do that.
"What is Anna doing right now?"
Is she practicing magic? She's probably already an Emperor-level mage.
With such talent, it's only natural that he surpassed me early on.
"well……"
It really hit me hard! I'm supposed to be her teacher, yet she's someone who surpasses me. It's really something to be jealous of.
It's worth mentioning that Lilith is indeed an excellent tutor.
She would clearly point out my shortcomings in arithmetic, just like the sharp and precise eyes of an eagle.
Furthermore, after arithmetic class, I will also learn martial arts with Isabel.
Probably because we're both beginners, we often become each other's sparring partners, provided that I'm forbidden from using magic.
But... it seems like I won in the end.
—Not at all.
I always lose miserably, and I even get chased all over the yard by Isabel. Whenever I can't resist the urge to cast a spell, Lilith always stops me in time.
It was only then that I truly realized that I really had no talent whatsoever in learning.
Whether it's swordsmanship, martial arts, or even magic, the same applies.
The so-called King-level magicians are simply those I encountered a little earlier than them.
The saying goes, "If you fall down, you should get up from there." Being defeated by such a brainless idiot is certainly something to reflect on.
Therefore, after a brief complaint, I will cheer myself up again.
Then……
~~~
"Ouch... Lilith! Be gentle! Be gentle! It hurts, it hurts, it hurts..."
"Leon! Your stance is unstable! Don't charge headfirst! How many times have I told you! You never pay attention! See! You've broken another bone!"
"...I was so careful...Ouch, ouch, ouch...I was wrong, I was wrong! Next time! I'll definitely be more careful next time! Be gentle! Lilith!"
In short, if he hadn't known the "Azure Crown," he probably would have been beaten to a pulp.
That girl, Isabel! She went too far!
As expected of a monster born from the combination of a temperamental young lady and martial arts!
