It has been two days since that time.
After taking a single day off to change her room, Romeo's newly hired maid returned to work for him. Romeo also ran into his father there, who informed him that he was hiring a teacher for Romeo because most children of noble families are required to start taking language classes when they are five years old.
Romeo, whose origins were on the planet Earth, where children began attending school at the age of two or three, was rather pleased about it and accepted it with great calm. When compared to earth, which had an abundance of subjects and content, he discovered that education in this world was like a simple leveling.
Romeo was forced to get up early and take a fresh bath in preparation for his newly appointed arrival this morning, which prepared him for his first lesson.
When he saw Romeo showing such a keen interest in his studies, the old butler Jia, who had anticipated Romeo's eventual tantrums when it came to studying, looked genuinely pleased. Where Romeo's interest seemed to be coming out with natural tendencies, even Elia also seemed to be surprised by the look of Romeo's action.
"Good morning, young master." Romeo was in the living room, sitting on the sofa, when he overheard a youthful voice coming from the gate side. The man, who appeared to be in his twenties and had a charming appearance and a captivating presence, caught his attention as he turned to face him.
"This master teacher's name is Ray Wilson." The man introduced himself properly before turning to face Romeo, who had come to his senses and was now standing straight up and saying, "My name is Romeo von Westland; it is a pleasure to meet you, teacher."
"Then shall we take our seats and start our lesson? Given that I heard that you were pretty excited about our lesson, I do not want to waste your enthusiasm too." They both then started to settle into their seats and begin the lesson.
Following that, Ray began to teach Romeo about alphabets that appeared to be similar to the English language but each had a different pronunciation and meaning.
In this way, days began to pass, and a week had passed during which Romeo had dedicated his time to learning the two primary languages of this world. In addition, he had started to correctly form words when writing them down, thanks to his command of the spoken word.
Given that Romeo was now the third son of the Duke family, his teacher was extremely pleased with Romeo's progress and did his best to teach him.
With such a position and the capacity to quickly adapt and pick up new skills, Ray was confident that Romeo would go on to become well-known in the future. If Romeo achieved fame, Ray might also become well-known at the same time.
It was within those days that Romeo finally was able to get a leave from his master, and he decided to go out of the mansion for a stroll. Making friends from their party was not a bad idea for a son of the Duke household since this town itself was populated by high-class social nobles from various countries.
Romeo never missed a single day to go see Olevia and have a brief conversation with her about his daily activities. Olevia was also improving this week, and at a noticeable rate. Possibly as a result of this, but according to the servants, Duke Theo and Mistress Olevia's recent moods had both been very upbeat and joyful.
"Hmm. This dress looks great on Master." Ilea finally settled on a dress for Romeo. Even though the other party did not appear to be all that excited about it, he nevertheless kept his cool because it was he who had asked her for assistance, leaving him with no choice but to stand by what he had said.
"Sorry, master Romeo, but this will only happen a few times since, after this, I've started to get a sense of the clothing styles that suit you best. Therefore, I will have them ready from before, and from now on, we will dress you appropriately every time."
Romeo personally asked Ilea to have a few maids under her supervision so that he could take care of matters pertaining to his clothing himself. Ilea apologized for Romeo's exhausted appearance, as the other party did not seem that interested in dressing sense and all.
They all think Romeo's way of handling things is admirable because most kids his age act differently and would prefer to avoid doing these kinds of tedious things that would damage their family's reputation in front of the public. But for Romeo, they never needed to worry about such trivial things.
... ... ... ... ...
"This is a lot more tedious than it looks, huh!" Romeo, who was about to leave the house after receiving the go-ahead from Ilea, his personal stylist, sighed with exhaustion. Although he was feeling tired after getting dressed like that for more than half an hour, he was now given permission to go out.
He walked out of the gate eagerly, with Old Jia following him, because the excitement of leaving had the power to overcome his exhaustion. "Haha!" "The young master's excitement is truly pure." Old Jia thought as he looked at the excited Romeo with a mixed expression.
A magic knight who works for the Westland family pushed the enormous front door, which was made entirely of heavy metal. The colonial door was surrounded by a wide road made of stones, blocks, and other materials that Romeo was unfamiliar with, but it had a nice appearance thanks to the decorative trees that were planted on either side of the road.
After following the main road for about a minute, they finally left the Westland Territory, and the main road suddenly appeared, bustling with activity from many merchants and a few commoners, most of whom were employed by merchants.
At the same time, Romeo saw Jia calling an individual who appeared to be from a particular merchant association and giving him a slip of paper and a small brooch, which nearly caused the individual to stammer.
After that, he started to act like a bootlicker and then turned to order other humans working under him with a rich variety of expressions.
"What the hell with that?" Romeo almost laughed, but at the same time he recognized the influence his family had in the local area, where Jia also returned to his side with a polite expression on his face as he asked.
"Young master Romeo, is there somewhere that you want to visit at the moment, or can I bring you to some nice place?" Jia already knew how Romeo was not entirely familiar with the landscape of this city, but still, in the act of the face, he asked Romeo with a polite tone to probe him.
"Of course, I will listen to Elder Jia for it." Having no idea, Romeo did not think much about his response and asked the old butler to lead the way, as he followed the guy while looking around at the people from different noble lines walking around.
After all, in this world, where knight training, magic accumulation, and health are the priorities that any noble family would focus upon, most of the nobles did not tend to be lazy when it come to walking and running, so they all felt that there was no reason to use transport when moving around in the city.
Not to mention that when they are walking around the city's grounds or inner city, they can spend more time chatting with their friends and colleague.
... ... ... ... ...
It was a bakery café. Jia brought Romeo to a famous place, which serves one of Caroline's famous pastries.
"I am rather surprised. It is very hard to get a seat inside this café." When he saw Romeo's surprised expression and heard his words, the old Jia smiled and bowed slightly before walking toward the door with a happy expression.
"He should have pulled some strings to get here, but I am also excited to taste the famous pastry of this world." Romeo regarded his surroundings with dispensary eyes as he determined their worth to him and gave them that careful look.
After all, he had to learn this lesson the hard way in his previous life, so he approached others with caution, but not in the case of Ilea. Romeo was only wary of everyone except his mother and his companion, Ilea, because he had his own set of plans to win her complete commitment in the future.
"What a careful kid..." Old Jia sighed as he looked at Romeo entering the café, but it was this part of Romeo that made him happy too. Given that they live in a world where people can easily backstab each other for their own greed, tittle, and deeds. He always wanted the young master to be cautious when it came to choosing those he could completely rely on, but he also never turned a blind eye to their actions.
"Welcome!!!"
Romeo was taken aback by the sudden appearance of a few ladies dressed in maid uniforms who greeted him at the door. However, upon hearing their voices, only a few people in the shop turned to look at the shop entrance out of curiosity, while others had little reaction because they were all used to such action coming from the ladies.
"Oh, it is like a maid café from my world, but the structure had such a classic touch to it that it looked really well suited along with all the beautiful maids serving atmosphere." Romeo marveled as he enjoyed the sensation, and the moment Jia entered the café, he straightforwardly took out the card and handed it to one of the ladies.
"Special booking customer, prepare the things at the top of the open avenue." As Romeo entered the room, a few people who had previously been uninterested began to have that curious look, and they all began to look toward him. The girl's face lit up with excitement as her voice this time generated a lot of buzz.
"Young master." While remaining silent the entire time, Jia turned to face Romeo and said, "You know," with a knowing expression on his face.
"Oh right." As Romeo entered the café and noticed a group of kids who weren't much bigger than him, he remembered the question that old Jia had asked him before coming here and moved toward them.
"I hope all of you will be kind enough to join me in the attic." They were all interested in Romeo, who appeared to be incredibly cool under pressure, which is hard to find in someone his age. A few other groups, who were all between the ages of 12 and 13, joined with a polite smile.
