Chereads / An Inch Under / Chapter 2 - Detached

Chapter 2 - Detached

Bam~

With the mechanisms of the metallic door clearly resounding its mechanical gear throughout the halls at the start of the morning it was also a signal that meant a new session has started.

"Now let's start this day with a studious fervor shall we?"

The old Leville carried not one would expect a grand tutor would bring in his tutelage to the prince. The books he carried were unlike the literatures Ego had seen hundreds of times inside the library, but rather it had a vibrant vibe in it, as the cover had colorful symbols and drawings meant to lure eyes.

"Sir Leville what are those?"

Gathering the attention and such an excited tone from the usually cold boy who was just sitting straight with a book on his left hand, quite pleased the old man, so he decided to tease the Ego for a bit.

"Why don't you guess?"

Hearing the jokingly tone and the condescending look of Leville, the irritated Ego tried to put his hand on his chin, making him looked like a scholar guessing an answer on a test.

"Hmm, entertainment books I could guess"

Ego said, eyes slanted and a smug face, he made a circle with one of his hand and in the middle of it was a finger on the other that kept going back and forth.

"You're right I suppose"

"Although I don't know what kind of signs are those at the end"

"I don't seem to recall it back in my body languages class"

"What does it mean, prince?"

As expected, the prince is still a kid at heart and likes children books.

Very well, seeing as my student seems interested and was even making a strange sign, I suppose I'll let him indulge himself as a reward for reading all the books gathered here at the grand library.

Looking at the chirpy old Leville made Ego more guilty rather than pleased.

'Hopefully the old fool won't use it on his other students'

"Our lesson for today is about the value of human life"

"Now for our first textbo-"

As Leville was about to introduce the books, Ego with the natural swift of youth, easily snatched the children's book and was immediately immersed into reading.

"Uhm prin-?"

"Shut up"

And so, the tutor that held tutelage for geniuses throughout the continent zipped his lips.

A few minutes later~

"Disgusting!"

"What?!"

The old man Leville who was dozing off on the corner was suddenly taken aback by the sudden outburst of Ego.

"What's wrong prince?"

Confused, the old man immediately asked for an answer.

"What are these abominations!"

"Not only have I wasted my time in such a trivial poor excuse of a book, but I was actually mesmerized by it?!"

"Not are the stories written in such a rushed and confusing manner, but almost everything in here was cut from the same cloth!"

"A prince saving a princess from a rapist of a demon lord just because he loves her, a fucking mentally unstable hero who saves people by killing people with a smile, and finally a story about beastiality of a princess falling in love with a prince who turned into a dog"

"I can't, I just fucking can't!"

"Prince calm down!"

Seeing the prince lashing out in such a maddened state, Leville grabbed him by the shoulders and shook him wildly.

"What troglodytes wrote such a horrid story!"

"Calm down prince!"

________

After a few tossing and turning, the fifteen year old boy finally calmed down,

with his clothes disheveled and sweat plastered all over his skin.

"Every time I see the pictures, it felt like they moved, seeing such a thing, this irritating feeling inside me comes up, and everytime that I turn the pages I can't help but be annoyed that I'm inching ever closer to the climax"

"These kind of foreign feeling"

"It feels like I'm no longer myself when I read such dreadful books, to think that children prefer such a thing"

"Explain these old man"

The prince said in a very tired yet irritated tone.

"That! is what you call 'enjoyment' my prince"

Seeing the usually calm and collected prince turned into such a state, the old man finally put on his triumphant smirk whenever he wins a debate.

"Enjoyment?"

"You mean like brothels and wine?"

"NO!"

"Sex and Food?"

"NO!"

Hearing such a detached answer, the old man was finally getting irritated that his favorite pupil was taking too long answer such a simple question.

"Then what is it?"

"Wait? now that you think about it you're actually right"

"So am I right then?"

"Ye- No!"

"Guh!"

The two gritted their teeth in frustration thinking about such a simple thing, when suddenly the old man started convulsing.

"Hey sir Leville you don't have to try that ha-"

What Ego saw was a man who was constantly jerking his head off, drool came out of the old man's mouth. Nothing out of a man with a rational thinking, but a feral beast who sees its prey.

"I'll fucking kill you, prince!"
