Chapter 2 - Chapter 1 : Meeting with the Royal Tutor

Lisa was just 5 years old when she started to talk in complicated sentences.

Lisa : Dad when will be the lunch be ready!?

His Majesty : Today is your favourite Jumbo belly (Pork belly with potato mash and salad)

Lisa : How many times did I say that I like it only on Saturday's but it's done on Friday's too?

His Majesty : No dear.Royal Tutor is coming today to teach you. I can't teach you for a forever because I have a lot to do in the administration.

Lisa : Hmm ... seriously? Ok fine so do we need to wait for this "'Royal Tutor.'"

His Majesty : No need for that, you can eat when it's prepared

Lisa finished eating and was waiting for the Royal Tutor bored and with a annoyed expression as he shows his presence and kneels down.

Royal Tutor : Greetings your Majesty and your Highness

His Majesty : You may rise

Royal Tutor : Yes you Majesty

His Majesty : Why so late ?

Royal Tutor : Sorry your Majesty I had lost my way since I am new in this environment. After so many years your kingdom has grown in size so has it's roads!

His Majesty : Yes you are right but still it shouldn't have taken that much time right? Tell me the truth what took so much time after a pause he looks at the Royal Tutor's expression "I won't punish you." was the answer.

Lisa : I guess this is my test huh? So I have to guess why you came so late?

His Majesty : What are you talking about Lisa dear?

Royal Tutor : Yes you are right your Highness.

His Majesty : What?? If that's true I guess I will let it go. To Lisa : Tell him the answer I know you can do it. Your mother was very smart and I too was not so smart but now I am. So come on tell him.

Lisa : Dad you are too talkative.

His Majesty already knew that his daughter would say that but the Royal Tutor was a little bit surprised. He calmed himself and questioned.

Royal Tutor : Your Highness tell me how you knew that it was a test.

Lisa : First you can call me Lisa. Second I read this in a book so it was very obvious.

His Majesty : Lisa dear, you're too kind but he is a commoner who was just lucky to be smart and you want him to call your name. Are you sure?

Yes indeed he was a commoner but was a close friend to His Majesty and learnt so many kinds of things from him. But Lisa didn't knew that fact of course.

Lisa : Yes I am!

His Majesty : Ok then it's fine by me too.

Royal Tutor : Oh I see then.. Lisa tell me your answer in explanation. Of course.

Lisa : Actually I already knew that you were inside the castle using my magic senses, from the time I ask my father that do I have to wait for you but then you were waiting and listening to the conversation closely until me and my father was done eating.You waited for 5 minutes more and then showed your presence to me and my father. That's my answer! There! Satisfied!

She drew a deep sigh after finishing up her explanation the Royal Tutor and His Majesty were shocked. After hearing her answer he composed himself from the shock and spoke

Royal Tutor : Ok in a dissatisfied look he said and added one more question " You say magic senses, yes Lisa but I didn't sense magic at all, so explain which magic did you really use?"

Everyone present was shocked at the answer the Royal Tutor gave including His Majesty. He stared at Lisa and she sighed lightly and answered.

Lisa : "Ughhh fine I will say the very truth"

She tried to hide it so much but she had failed to do so and revealed it.

Lisa : Dad sorry but I read your mind yesterday that the Royal Tutor would come and he really came. I was dissatisfied with the decision and today I used clairvoyance to check where he was before sitting for lunch. So according to my hypothesis, he would arrive at 2:00pm and we eat at 1:00pm. So this is my real answer. Are you satisfied by this answer or ....

She did not know what to do or say. His Majesty was little angry and little bit impressed.

Royal Tutor : Yes very satisfied and to see that you have a great magic skill and logic. I can say for sure that I will be willing to teach you with all I can. You have passed!

His Majesty : "Lisa"

With an angry tone he called out to her. She knew the consequences and accepted her fate i.e. her father's scoldings.

His Majesty : Very good and very bad at sneaking up on me. I should telepathically block you from reading my mind anymore.

Lisa mischievously smiles at her father's scoldings and praises too.

Lisa : Sorry dad!! Come on I won't do it again promise, okay okay!

Royal Tutor thinking : How smart is this girl? Her father wasn't so smart but her mother was. Yes, I guess it's her I am sure of it. But her mother's fate.... will history repeat? I hope not.
