Aristotle said "knowing yourself is the beginning of wisdom ". And I think he was right. After all, self-understanding leads to understanding others. I only have superficial knowledge now, I would need more.
" Shop."
< Welcome to the shop>
< Lust points: 500>
< what do you desire?>
'I want a book about sex education and one about the history of the country'
< Do you wish to purchase the books ' Growing up: understanding our bodies and emotions ' and ' Beginner guide to the Kormelia Empire history ' ? The order will cost 20 lust points. >
"Yup" seems pretty cheap.
< your purchase has been complete. Thank you for your patronage. >
Two books suddenly materialized in his hands.
'Let's check the content of the books'
A few moments later
'Oh, wow. It's quite explicit. But i still have a lot of things to know.'
I guess my sex ed didn't prepared me for this. I never imagined there could be so many positions and techniques. And this book have some great advices. It's full of things I didn't know. And that's why it's a great book.
After I finished the first book, I moved on to the second.
'Oh, this is great'
My family is wealthy.I already knew that but turns out we also have a lot of political and social power. My position is high. But that also means that i would have to take care of my reputation. High society never forgives and never forget.
The emperor is Alastor Kormelia and his first wife, the empress, is Naomi Kormelia. The current prime minister is a man called William Rigel.The population is about 50 millions. The capital is Eren, located at the centre of the country.
It's good to learn those things.
'Now I can go and have fun'
I'm still young,I can take it easy a little. I should also start training. Yes, I may be young but I would need a strong body in the future.
Third person's POV
In the imperial palace
"Father, are you sure this is the best choice?"
A young and a old man was looking at each other. They both had brown hair and dark eyes. The young man seemed shocked by the decision of his father. He loved his father and knew that, sometimes, he had to make cruel decisions . But isn't that too much?
"Don't worry, we can trust thier family. You will be safe and gain a lot too"
"But..."
"Enough, we're done. You should leave."
"Yes father"
The young man bowed and left the room.
He didn't voice any question. If his father didn't listen, what difference would it make anyway.
The young man went to his office. He was not in the mood, but his tutor left him a pile of work.
He started to think of the recent event.
His father, the emperor, decided to give his youngest son, Ryze Kormelia, in marriage to the family of one of his concubine.
Ashborn Sinclair. The only concubine to be crowned king and the brother of a duchess. They have always been close, especially after his mother death. But he would never imagine this would happen.
He knew that as the youngest, and without the support of a maternal family, he couldn't dream of the throne. But to think he would be denied a royal title. And now he have to get engaged to a boy nine years his junior.
"What a joke"
He was furious, but his anger was futile. At least there is a bright side. His future fiance family is still powerful. He was promised a title, money, influence and, the most important, safety. No more assassination attempts.
He sighed.
"I hope everything will work out"
Back in the May residence
A boy was running through the garden. His nanny was screaming for him to slow down but the child paid her no mind.
Not far away was the boy's mother sitting and enjoying snacks. She was happy that her ever so serious son was finally acting his age.
"Curtis, darling come over here"
The mother waved her hand in the direction of her son and he immediately changed course and started to head toward his mother.
"Mom, do you want to play with me?"
The young lady couldn't help but smile.
"Maybe later. I have good news for you. "
The child was listening, his face showing curiosity.
"As you know you will be starting your studies soon. Your father and I enrolled you at Bollore, a prestigious school in the capital."
Bollore academy is the number one private school in the capital. A lot of noble children, and even nobility from different countries fight to get a place there. 'It might be thanks to uncle's influence that I have this opportunity '.
"And that's not all. I asked your father and he said you can choose a tutor from his company. That way you could have a private teacher while at school. What do you think?"
"..."
"Curtis, you're not saying anything"
"A private teacher? Like a hot teacher who have a crush on his student and would do anything to have his way with him?Anything at all? And then a scandal would arise and the teacher would be fired? "
The mother was dumbfounded. What was her son saying?
"No, no. That's not what I meant. What are you even talking about? Don't tell me you have already seen a movie like that. Where did you even see that kind of movie? And where did you even hear the word crush?"
"Mom, you don't have to worry. You just have to trust me."
"It's not like that, Curtis. Please be serious. We're talking about your education."
"I know. Don't worry mom. I know what I have to do."
"Good. You should go rest. Dinner is at 8"
The child nodded and went to his room.
'What was that? Why was he thinking about this sort of thing?Did his friends made him watch a movie? Or maybe he read that kind of book?Is it his uncle? That man is really a bad influence. I should have a talk with him'
'Well, at least he's excited. Let's hope nothing goes wrong'
In the dining room
"Dad, can I ask you a favor?"
The child had a sweet smile, the type of smile that make you want to say yes to everything.
'I wonder what he want?'
"You can ask for anything. What is it? "
"Can I have one of your employee as my personal teacher? Mom told me about it. "
"Of course. I will arrange for a private teacher. Don't worry."
"Thank you."
'My own private teacher. This will be good. And I know just the person' hehehehe
"I can't wait."
The child was excited. He wanted his teacher to be the type of man that would jump his bones the first opportunity they have.
