【Chapter 64】

The next day.

“With that in mind….”

Father, who had called Kail and me to his study, suddenly made a declaration.

“I’m going to raise Kail as talent for our Knight Order.”

Boom—!

“Huh.”

My mouth fell open in a triangle shape, shocked by the sudden announcement. And Kail.

“Then I get to stay with Aisha forever?”

His round eyes sparkled, unaware of the grim future that awaited him.

A few days later.

“Oh. Kail transformed into a human. His eye color is different today too?”

“Hello. The mister said I have to drink potions every day from now on.”

I learned about Kail from Father.

That Kail was a Maein, half monster and half human. That he could communicate with monsters, and later that would become a very powerful ability.

So—

“You’re going to class today, right?”

“Yeah.”

Father intended to raise the still young Kail properly.

“My feet feel weird.”

“Feet?”

“Something’s covering my feet.”

Kail pouted his lips and tapped the floor with his shoe tips.

He was dressed in a neat shirt and shorts. Of course he was wearing shoes too, but since it was his first time with shoes, he seemed slightly awkward.

“Those are shoes. You have to wear them when living as a human from now on, so you need to get used to them. Got it?”

“Tch.”

He pouted his lips, but his head was nodding vigorously.

‘Hmm.’

What should I do? Why am I getting anxious about him attending class?

Kail was exactly like a young child left by the water’s edge. Just the day before yesterday, Kail had been a baby kitten to me, so it was understandable.

‘Since it’s his first class, I should take him there.’

Clap!

I clapped my hands toward Kail, who was still doing a strange tap dance with his shoes.

“Kail. Focus.”

“Huh?”

“If people ask you ‘Who are you?’, how should you answer?”

“Um….”

Kail’s eyes widened at my question.

After thinking carefully, he raised his eyebrows and answered bravely.

“I am the king of monsters.”

“Eek—!”

This kid is going to cause big trouble.

I commanded with triangular eyes raised.

“You can’t say that. Now, repeat after me.”

“Huh?”

“I am Kail. Nice to meet you.”

When I extended my hand in greeting, Kail awkwardly looked back and forth between me and my hand.

Then—

“…I am Kail. Nice to meet you.”

He said while taking my hand.

Shake shake.

I shook our clasped hands as praise. Then his earlobes began to turn slightly red as his eyes grew wide.

“Well done—! You have to greet everyone like that from now on, okay?”

“Why?”

“Because the class you’re taking today is noble etiquette and character education. This is the first step of character building. To become a good person, you need to have good character.”

“Then if you don’t have character, you’re a bad person?”

“Pretty much. So from today, you’ll learn from your teacher. To find your character.”

“Oh.”

Fortunately, my preliminary education had some effect.

Kail’s expression, which had become like a frozen fish because of the shoes, changed to one of motivation.

‘I’ll have to go with this cramming education method for a while.’

“Now let’s go to class. Since it’s your first class today, I’ll watch over you.”

“Yeah.”

So I took Kail’s hand and opened the door to today’s classroom, ‘Classroom 1’, with a creak.

“Hello, Princess. Student Kail has arrived as well.”

A tutor with a kind smile bowed his head and greeted us.

And—

“Dandelion?”

A familiar voice echoed inside the classroom.

‘Huh? The only person who calls me Dandelion is Lucas.’

Surprised, I poked my head into the classroom.

“What are you doing here…”

Lucas’s welcoming gaze, who was about to say ‘well, well’, turned toward Kail and me.

Then.

“That bastard… dares to hold Dandelion’s hand? Hey—! Who are you!”

Crash—

Lucas, who had suddenly flipped over his desk, strode toward us.

“How dare.”

Ah. Come to think of it.

“How dare you grab Dandelion’s hand like that?”

Kail and Lucas are taking the same class, right?!

‘And Lucas is seeing Kail for the first time right now…’

“Brother. This isn’t what it looks like…”

I was sweating profusely and trying to hide my hand clasped with Kail’s behind my back.

“Young Master.”

Someone large blocked the space between us and Lucas.

“That person is Kail, who will be taking classes with Young Master.”

It was the tutor with a respectful smile.

“What? Kail?”

Lucas, who had stopped walking thanks to the teacher, frowned.

He crossed his arms with a delinquent expression and glared at Kail.

“What is he that he gets to take classes with me? Don’t tell me he’s also from the direct line?”

“He’s not from the direct line, but Young Master Lucas and Kail happen to need the same subject. Since it worked out this way, His Highness instructed that it would be good for you to take classes together.”

“Father gave direct orders? No. Never mind that.”

Swish—

“L-Lucas!”

The moment the tutor showed an opening. Brother used his quick hand blade to separate Kail’s and my hands.

“….”

And he raised his head with an expression that said ‘See that? This is my skill.’

“So what, if you’re not direct line, are you branch family? How dare a branch family member try to take classes with me?”

Innocent Kail blinked his eyes.

Then-

“I’m Kail. Hello.”

As if he hadn’t heard Lucas’s words, Kail extended his hand, asking for a handshake.

“What? Hah!”

Smack-

Of course, Lucas, who couldn’t be pleased with that, swatted Kail’s hand away.

“…Oh.”

Looking at his hand that fell through the air, Kail’s eyes widened.

But Kail’s antics weren’t over. Rather, this was just the beginning.

“Where did your character go? Did you lose it?”

“…What?”

“Aisha said people who don’t accept handshakes are people without character. If you lost it, you need to find it quickly. Go find it now.”

“Are you done talking? This kid can’t be dealt with through conversation…”

“Young Master Lucas?”

That’s when it happened.

The teacher who once again intervened between the two attached a red sticker to the report.

“For not accepting Kail’s handshake. And for using bad words. I’ll attach 2 penalty stickers for these two behaviors.”

“Ah! Teacher!”

“In the classroom, you must use honorifics with me. Including that, 3 penalty stickers.”

“Argh, Teacher-nim!”

As another terrifying red sticker was attached-

“What are penalty stickers?”

In the midst of all this, Kail, who was curious about everything, perked up his ears and approached the teacher.

“Um… lost character. You need to earn smile stickers to get back your lost character.”

“Oh. Then right now Lucas is a character beggar?”

“Argh-! I’m not a beggar!”

When Lucas screamed, Kail looked bewildered, and the teacher attached a penalty sticker.

The same situation repeated for a while.

‘There’s no place for me to interfere here.’

I left the classroom quietly with a satisfied heart.

I was relieved that Kail seemed to be adapting well to the lessons.

* * *

As time passed, Kail began to get somewhat accustomed to Crost Ducal Castle.

The first evidence of this.

Kail finally got along well enough with Lucas to at least greet each other!

There was one decisive moment for this. Last time, when I was walking down the corridor with him to take Kail to the classroom.

‘Dandelion. Are you still taking care of that idiot?’

Lucas, who had arrived early for class time, suddenly shoulder-bumped Kail.

‘Lucas. Still haven’t found your character? What if you get penalty stickers again?’

But Kail responded with bright, innocent eyes without showing any sign of pain.

From Lucas’s perspective, it must have looked like a stupid beam was coming out.

‘…Hey! If you’re going to keep talking about character, you should call me hyung too!’

‘Hyung?’

‘Yeah. I’m older! But why don’t you call me Lucas hyung? Did you lose your character too?’

‘Okay, Lucas hyung.’

‘…?’

Surprised Lucas’s eyes widened.

My brother finally realized on the third day of meeting Kail.

That Kail was more stupid and innocent than he had thought.
