Dai Orthius pursed his lips. This younger son would usually accept everything he said with a simple look, but now. He felt as though this son is slightly displeased. Is it that he has no desire to-
"Father, I believe that both mother and yourself will live long. My elder sister might be a bit muddled now and will probably recover too late, but I am sure you will be safe. I will be an obedient son. Just...don't give up on life." His son was extremely handsome, leaning more on beautiful. This is another reason both he and his wife kept him hidden away. A son this beautiful is similar to a woman who would bring calamity. Dai Orthius said calmly shortly after "We will be fine but it is always best to be prepared just in case," the son nodded, his facial features not changing much. "En, then this son is comforted and will obey your wishes."
Dai Orthius looked at this young son and smiled. Now, he simply needs to figure out how he should approach the young miss with his son.
--
A few days later~
"Greetings to the young miss, today I will be introducing you to someone." Dai Orthius had seen the unfamiliar look of the young miss four days ago. It had taken him a total of three days before he could accept this unfamiliar look of hers.
The black straight hair, bottomless eyes and a pretty but normal face. It was something different from the unique look he remembered seeing before.
"This student understands."
Dai Orthius felt slightly nervous for some reason. After all, it is his son who will meet his future wife.
Stepping out, Dai Orthius retrieved his son and slowly Re-entered. Dai Orthius did not hesitate in making the first introduction. "Young miss, meet my youngest son, Dai Imasaki. From today he will be attending the same classes."
Carefully he saw his son bowed to the waist, his face just as blank as the young miss.
The two seemed unreadable, but he saw the various emotions flicker within the gaze of his youngest son before he introduced himself. "Greetings to the young miss." his voice carried slight warmth, thankfully no alienation. This surprised Dai Orthius because his soon at most would be quite aloof mostly looking down at those around him.
Perhaps he saw something he liked?
Dai Orthius is not sure and did not think much about it, only continued to be a responsible onlooker.
The small girl did not react much either. She simply raised a brow, curtsying a bit before greeting his son, "Greetings to young master Dai."
Releasing a breath he did not realise he held Dai Orthius took a step forward a shallow smile on his face.
As his son, Dai Orthius has been raised like every young master, it did not matter that he from a concubine line, his children were all born from a pure line and he believed that they should be given a bit of curtsy.
As for that daughter who brought trouble?
He has decided that she will be marked from their family lineage tree and all of her children. They may be his grandchildren, but the sins of the mother must be a burden they will have to carry as well.
"Now introductions have been made, let us beginning the class." Dai Orthius tapped his wristband and enlarged the screen. Once it was large enough, he then spoke, "A job of managing the home is left for the woman, while the man goes out and work making him the breadwinner of the family. When you think about all of this a woman, perhaps can be said to have a much harder time than the male who does not pay any heed to his own home. For instance: if the home is as large as the Kai home with over three hundred servants, this does not differ from a small company. The land as well must be managed by these servants, the small businesses attached to it as well. Adding to the fact that if the husband marries concubines, these two must be managed. Guests must be entertained, the home itself must constantly be kept a certain way and heirs must also be birthed. Still, those are women who wish to have a burden and are considered — in my eyes as ignorant. Managing a home comes with a butler, each area has a head, and a system where everything is carefully checked, monitored and presented every week."
"Why a week, general lecturer Dai?"
"A week is the second most common because work will not pile up by then and the principal wife will have enough time to quickly but thoroughly scan all the provided information within one or two days. Take a look at this example." Dai Orthius changed the screen to a basic list for the two to look at.
His son of course is well aware of this. He may be male, but he has raised him to be quite flexible.
"So what general Lecturer Dai is saying is that I have to note everything on this list?"
