Dalia blankly stared at him.

This person istotally obstinate.

A wall that doesnt change no matter what you say. Dalia really missed Adrisha.

No, Adrisha is not here.

There is no one to save her. This was a challenge that Dalia had to solve on her own.

Dalia sprang up from her seat. Cedric looked up at her while sitting down.

Whats the matter?

No, Ill teach you.

Huh?

Ill teach you what human beings are from now on.

And she confidently reached out her hand toward Cedric.

Cedric stood up looking a little bewildered and held her hand. In the meantime, Dalias posture became more straight because of her pride that she managed to make him feel flustered for the first time.

So where are we going?

To the Imperial Palace Library. Please show me the way.

Dalia strode forward while holding his hand even though she didnt know the way. Cedric followed suit, while keeps on alternating between his hands and Dalias back.

The palace library was much, much larger than Dalia thought.

She looked up at the tall library, stunned.

This is why she cant find anything.

Dalia was looking around for the librarian. Cedric saw her and asked.

What book are you looking for? Ill find it for you.

Do you know all the books here, Your Highness?

Just call me Cedric. And you can use magic here.

She had never heard of magic being used that way. When Dalia looked at him in surprise, he said nonchalantly.

Multi-attribute magic can be used in many ways, depending on its use. Anyone can do it.

No, thats because you Sir Cedric is a genius.

However Dalia wasnt looking for any specific book.

Just five or six books regarding human conscience..

Then well have to go to the humanities section.

Cedric took her to Zone 8 of the library.

Of course, there were many books there. Cedric used magic to pull books out of the shelves that are far above his height.

What is Human Being?, The Source of Conscience, The Beginning of Human Being.

It was picked out of her sight, but as per Dalia asked for, it was all books that contained the keywords of conscience or human beings.

Dalia looked at Cedric with admiration.

Its not much of a deal.

Cedric said quietly.

He picked out about seven books, he then stopped and looked back at Dalia.

Thats enough right? I did choose butwhat does this mean?

Its very important.

Finally, the time has come.

Dalia looked at the books in Cedrics arms dearly.

Huh?

Its homework.

What do you mean homework?

You asked me to teach you about humanity, didnt you? Then, Im a teacher now.

.

Cedric blankly stared at Dalia. She put her hand on her waist and looked up at him.

Right?

Yes, teacher.

Cedric replied obediently. Dalia nodded her head.

Then youll have to read this ten times and write five reports per book and get tested by me. Dont ever come until youre done with your homework!

Huh?

Dalia did not answer his question. She left Cedric with his eyes still wide open and quickly fled the palace library.

Im sorry, Sir Cedric.

Im the one who looked for you, but I returned your kindness in this way.

But Dalia had a feeling. If she doesnt do this, shell end up getting involved with him.

No! I cant get engaged!

The marriage system in this world was never acceptable to her, who still had memories of her past life.

Dalia!

Hikan, who was looking for her, called her in surprise. Dalia was able to escape the palace safely under his escort.

Sir Cedric?

The day after Dalia came to the Imperial Palace, Adrisha, as usual, came to report to the Emperor regularly and witnessed an unbelievable scene.

Cedric was completely immersed in his study. In a study room linked to the Emperors audience room.

What are you doing?

You must be free, Adrisha. Since you have the time to talk to me.

Cedric knitted his eyebrows and smiled.

Although the way he speaks and his outfit is different from usual, it is Cedric.

Cedric had never studied since the awakening.

He didnt have to. Since he was able to handle multi-attribute magic freely means that he have a high-level intelligence.

Adrisha sometimes suspected that his twisted personality was due to his excessive intelligence.

Adrisha glanced at Cedrics side and looked at the stack of books.

What is Human Being?,The Source of Conscience,The Beginning of Human Being.

All of them were books that he wouldnt read even if he was born again.

Why are you here?

My father, when he saw me read these books, he was moved to tears. Will you go now since I have answered your question?

.

But Adrisha has seen it. On the top of the paper that Cedric is working hard on, it says Book Report.

What the hell is going on with Sir Cedric?

She wanted to ask, but she thought that hed really be angry if she said one more word. She turned around carefully and tried to leave the study.

Adrisha, come here.

But Cedric called her just before she left. Adrisha also obediently went to his side following the sad fate as the subordinate.

Can you explain this sentence? No matter how hard I look at it, I dont understand it.

.

Conscience is what makes human the most noble.

It was not until he spoke that she realized he didnt want an answer.

Adrisha watched as Cedric chew on his lips and shake his head in irritation. To be honest, it was fun.

Its not because theyre good that people didnt kill young animals. Its just that they feel uncomfortable. Why is it most noble to ignore rational judgement and follow emotion?

Still, he leaned his head on his hand and wrote another line on a piece of paper that said Book Report.

Adrisha thought, looking at him.

Yes, he was this kind of person.

Why did he fall in love with Dalia, when he doesnt believe in conscience or humanity at all? And why is he looking at that book without even understanding it?

She just couldnt figure it out.

Cedric sighed and shook his head.

Love is really hard, Adrisha.

.

Its very difficult.

Anyway, it was clear that he wasnt normal.

Adrisha looked at him with her eyes narrowed, then made an excuse and left to see the Emperor.

Cedric, who knew she didnt like him from the beginning, began to write the report regardless.

There are three books left. The other seven books were read 10 times each and he already wrote a full book report. Reading the same content ten times was more like torture for him, who memorized the whole book even after reading it five times. Still, he did. Because he cannot deceive love.

Dalia would have thought that it would take a month, but she tended to take his love too lightly.

Well, she wouldnt trust just anyone.

Cedric was more of a common-sense thinker than he thought.

So I have no choice but to say it over and over again until it works.

He also was more crazy than he thought. Suddenly, he let go of the pen while he was writing and looked at his hand for a moment. It was the hand that Dalia held before.

He stared at his hand for a long time and clenched his fist again.

Ill tell her not to hold hands from now on.

The back of her casually dragging him seemed to come back to his mind.

He blinked, and thought while holding the pen again.

Because if she do that again, my heart will beat too fast.

When will Dalia believe in his love? That was his greatest concern now.
