Oliver's POV
I was waiting for him in the garden because we had combat training that day and when I saw teacher, my happiness knew no bounds.
I wanted to run to him, to hug him, to tell him that I was waiting for him, to ask him that why he was late. I wanted to do everything but I did not do anything. I was afraid that someone might see us and inform my uncle about it. I was afraid that if someone saw me getting closer to teacher, His Majesty might take him away from me.
Of course, we were not close but I would have died if another teacher disappeared after talking to me. I would have felt that they are disappearing because of me and that would have killed me with guilt. It was not because I cared for him or liked him, it was just that I would have felt bad.
" How could a teacher arrive late? ", I said, trying to hide my smile.
Teacher smiled back at me and replied, " I apologize for being late, your highness. I was busy with something. "
