VF 87 The Princes Discipleship

[Please! Id like to ask for you to teach me your swordsmanship!]

I cant stop my cheeks from inevitably twitching after hearing what the second prince, Seryu-sama, said while lowering his head.

[Oh no, no no, Seryu-sama. Why ask me when you can choose an actual teacher, whoever they may be.] (Calis)

[But its you, Duke Fall, who I want to learn from!] (S)

[Can I ask why would you say that?] (C)

[I actually saw the fight you had with the knight commander last time no, even before that, I already know that if theres a person I want to learn from, it would be you! So please! Ill do whatever you want me to!] (S)

Now this is troubling I didnt expect for the prince to come straight at me like this When I turn my gaze to the person accompanying him, the princess Serena, for help

[*chuckles* ara, do you not find it enough for the prince himself to bow his head?] (Serena)

[Of course, not. Just as Ive told him, there are actual instructors thatll probably be better than me so] (C)

[Is that so? Didnt you already take someone as a disciple before? Whats the harm in adding one more?] (Srn)

She knew? But how? This girl shes really terrifying. Resisting the urge to sigh in resignation, I turn towards the prince.

[Seryu-sama, if you really want to learn swordsmanship under my tutelage, then you better keep in mind that you will just be another disciple of mine, no more, no less. Do you understand?] (C)

[Yes! I swear I will persist no matter how painful it will be!] (Sry)

Its good that hes motivated but yeah, it just feels troublesome. To be honest, it just seems to be another tiresome job that Id really want to avoid if Id be allowed to. Well, if its the current Seryu-sama, then I dont think hell use my teachings to abuse his power or authority. And its not like that the heroine will take advantage of his combat powers either Still, were talking about ME actually strengthening the guy whos supposed to be hostile to my daughter, the otome games villain, in the future, you know.

Nonetheless, maybe this would allow the prince and my daughter to get closer and avoid that miserable fatehm? Is it just me? It feels like no matter what choice I make, Im at the losing end of this deal as a father though? Just what do I get from accepting this troublesome job?

[Also, father entrusted me a letter for you but will you take it?] (Srn)

[Please, no need.] (C)

Seeing how assertive and aggressive the king is, it feels like Im slowly but surely losing my right to veto this matter Haaaa. Whatever. Perhaps I could take advantage of the situation and minimize the risks of unforeseen events having more encounters with the prince himself. Besides, if I can teach him more skillfully especially with regard to his heart and feelings, then maybe he would be able to surpass the man I initially expect him to be. Right, theres no helping it then.

[Please raise your head, Seryu-sama.] (C)

All this while, the prince was still bowing his head. Realizing that, I cant help but smile awkwardly.

[I will put you into a strict discipline until the day you become a real gentleman. Is that clear?} (C)

[Y YES sirr!!!] (Sry)

I guess Id have to work on my schedule again, huh Considering how packed it is, should I just cut my sleep time? I cant help it as I didnt expect to actually have the prince looking for me and ask me to become my disciple. Its not like Im in a position to refuse anyway. That damned king must have been plotting this right from the beginning.

Still, seeing how he lowered his own head despite being a prince, and how happy he was upon my acceptance, I have to say, this uncle doesnt particularly dislike such a sincere and pure child.

Translators Notes:

The second Prince will be named Seryu ()

Princess as Serena. ()

This is because the first 3 characters of their names are patterned and the same = Sere for the princess and = Seri for the prince. The r characters in Japanese can be read as l, however, to stick with the pattern, well use the sound r. Currently, the raws are being released, in average, once a week. We will eventually catch up with it sooner or later if I keep releasing at this pace. But oh, well, I see no harm. Haha!
