Levan didn't like studying, but it was different if he could study outside. He never liked books, and studying in a room with lots of books around him was like being confined in a room full of tigers.
It was a very silly analogy, but the Crown Prince of Wrelloven saw that studying was the most terrifying thing.
The reason he did not like studying was probably that he thought it was boring. He had to sit behind his desk with books on it for hours on end, and that kind of activity didn't suit his personality.
He'd rather run freely outdoors, or maybe he could even swim merrily in the river instead of studying.
That was his opinion of studying because that was what he had been doing for years when he was at Wrelloven, but today was different because he was finally able to learn new things without needing to sit still in his chair with a tower of books in front of him.
