Krone and the others arrived in Ishtarika, a few days after an Olivia-sponsored dinner.

Several things seemed to have progressed under the water during that time, and Ain't had no face-to-face with Krone for those few days.

"Oh dear Ein. Good mood."

"Mr. Majorica, were you here?"

As I returned to my room after my study time today, I met Majorica.

Looks like he was coming to the castle to bring in demon stones.

"What do you know about that demon stone?

"No at all. It's just getting noisy."

To conclude, Majorica had found out about Ain.

A short time after his departure for the Majolica Demon Stone Store, he had come to the castle to carry out the demon stone loading to Katima.

At that time, I can speak with "Oh, dear Ein."

When I asked him why Ain't figured it out, he was able to imagine the whole thing with Chris's attitude.

However, Majorica did not end up being particularly problematic because of her strong mouth.

"I don't even know who Katima is. That's right..."

"There's never been such a special demon stone, has there?

"It's not like there wasn't. What I thought was special was the demon stone of the Demon King between the sights and the Durahan stone that Ein ate."

"Was that? Was both the Demon King and Durahan special?

Oh, you never heard of it, do you, Majorica?

"The demon stones of the Demon King and the demon stones of Durahan were drawing each other together. When those two were by my side, the magic that I could see through the stones was released, and I was moving a little bit closer."

"You mean you were willing?

"... right. It's no exaggeration to say you were willing. That's why the Demon King's Demon Stone set up a powerful sealed pedestal in the middle of nowhere. Then Durahan's demon stone struck and turned to quiet like he was dead. That's why they took it to Her Royal Highness's room. Nothing was already dead..."

I felt a sense of vision. What Ain experienced was that Durahan's skills were activated once he had the example demon stone in his hand.

This never seems to be a coincidence. The Demon King's Stone and Durahan's Demon Stone meet, and Durahan's skill and example Demon Stone meet. Although the latter is not already Durahan's demonic stone, I felt it would be made up as a hypothesis.

"Dear Ein? I know you have some ideas, but don't be too unscrupulous."

"Right. Don't worry too much."

"Remember that Durahan's Demon Stone was strong enough to associate with the Demon King's Demon Stone"

When I hear that I was dating the Demon King's Demon Stone, it makes me a little dizzy as Ein.

I'm determined to go a little more cautiously from now on.

"Thank you for your advice. You're going to be careful, just like I said."

When she heard the reply, Majorica said she would excuse herself and walked away.

I felt the odd fringe between the demon stones and decided to look it up even more carefully. It is also undeniable, though, that I have taken a strong interest in that odd edge.

"Oh dear Ein. Just fine."

Apparently Ain't no easy day to get back to your room.

The next time I show up in front of Ain, Lloyd, it looks like Ain't got some errands.

"Hello, Lloyd. Did you run errands for me just in time?"

"Yeah, actually, I thought I'd introduce my son to you during the afternoon training."

"How could you suddenly again?"

Chris told me about Lloyd's son.

He is older and falls for seniors who have already attended the school that Ein plans to attend.

I was told I would suddenly introduce Lloyd's son like that, and Ain was wondering too.

"Unknown, my son will serve as an escort to Master Ain. Well, it's just for the inside of school."

"Exclusive escort in school, is it?"

I couldn't comprehend pah when they said that in one word. Lloyd keeps looking at Ain like that.

"Master Ain't probably wondering why he thinks of an exclusive escort in the school. But this is natural. It also exists, of course, when you can't put on an escort. But only when we can escort them, it's only natural that we put them on."

"Uh... I see. But what about in-school exclusivity?

"If I'm going to say it as a marshal's position, I'm purely powerless. Extraordinary strength in the same age. Nevertheless, I'm still not convinced if you ask me if I can keep Ein safe wherever I may be."

"Then the main escort is continued by Mr. Chris, and inside the school, Mr. Lloyd's son will be my escort."

"Sir Left."

In other words, Ain will be accompanied by two guards, one that is limiting. The main escort is Chris, and Lloyd's son tells him to start with an apprenticeship, exclusively in school.

"Okay. So you can introduce me during the afternoon training."

"Yeah, I'm taking you, so I thought I'd tell you first."

"Then you're on your way."

"Yes. Then I look forward to seeing you this afternoon"

That's how Ein breaks up with Lloyd.

I went back to my room and decided to take a short break.

After a short break and lunch, Ain is aiming for a training center for knights.

"I wonder what he's like"

All I care about is Lloyd's son. To be honest, I couldn't imagine what he was like.

A giant man named Lloyd and a little woman whose appearance as Martha left her feeling young. I was also a little excited to see what kind of child would be good from these parents.

"Speaking of which, I haven't even heard of it in years. Well, see if you can tell."

"Oh dear Ein, are you going to train?

"Yes, and you can introduce me to Mr. Lloyd's son."

I've been talking to the occasional knight at the training center, Ain, who I've seen walking and talked to.

"I see. I heard that Lord Lloyd's son will escort Mr. Ain, is that a face-to-face meeting?"

"Looks like it. Have you ever seen someone like that?

"Yeah, that's good."

Although it was Ain I was looking forward to until I met him, I couldn't possibly not ask what kind of person he was when I heard I'd met him.

"Is it true! By the way, I was wondering if you could tell me who you were."

"Yeah, of course. But I'll see you soon, so I'll tell you what my first impression is."

A knight who said he would teach Ain only his first impression with a grin.

"Master Ain definitely said, 'Huh?' It will seem. Definitely should feel that way."

"Right now, huh? I thought so, but I know it's unexpected."

"That's more than anything."

Lloyd's son was well understood to say he was highly unexpected, Ein.

In the end, the fact that it was unimaginable did not seem a mistake.

"Then you're going to Mr. Lloyd's."

"Please be careful"

Knowing that there is unexpectedness, Ein breaks up with the knight for now and heads back to where Lloyd waits.

"Unexpected, unexpected…"

Was she actually my daughter or something? No, then I don't know what you mean by son. Royal crap, some kind of ancestral return? Not that I don't, but I don't even think that's why there's a special surprise.

"I put on Mr. Martha's face, Mr. Lloyd's body"

I couldn't. I feel as if I have opened the forbidden door.

Ain't been thinking about that while walking.

I can't even imagine who I am in the end, and I finally get to where Lloyd waits.

"Excuse me."

Knock on the door and enter the room with words.

"Oh dear Ein. I've been waiting for you. This is my son Dill Grayshire, a 12-year-old knight apprentice this year. Come on, Dill, say hello."

"I'll see you first, Dear Ein. I am honored to have appointed Ain's escort this time. I will put my life at risk to keep Ein safe. I'm still immature, but as Ein's escort, I will always risk my life to be the strongest knight, like my father."

And Ain understood. He said he was just thinking too hard.

The boy called Dill seemed to be the man he looked like, if not some sort of ancestral return.

Word that Ain't going to be surprised what the knight was saying earlier. I finally know what that means.

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Dill. I am Ein von Ishtalika. I'm still a little ahead of you, but thank you for coming to school."

Dill was a beautiful boy with thin lines. Sure, 'Huh?' Ain't thought about it.

Lloyd's gene and Martha's genetic goodness together make it look like this dill.

Honestly, Ain't I thought I wouldn't have known if you hadn't mentioned Lloyd in your introduction.

"Now, Dear Ein. In fact, we have a little something to do with Ein's education regarding this Dir escort."

"My education, sir?

First, I left Dill, who finished introducing herself, and the story went on.

Even as Dill, if my father Lloyd starts talking, he quietly takes a step back and listens to the conversation.

"Dear Ein, please respect us with respect, even to our knights. It's definitely a virtue of Ein."

"Terrible. I'd love to hear you say that."

"But sometimes it can also be a vendetta. There's what's called an attitude as someone who stands on top."

"... you want me to get used to that attitude?

"Sir Left."

Dill's involvement with Ain's escort had a different aspect to it. It's one education Silvard has laid down.

Ein is basically polite and can be said to have a rare attitude that touches Katima.

In the meantime, Ein often treats people with respect, whether they are knights or suppliers.

For this reason Ain't used no respectful language, it was just one education to be able to speak and act majestically.

"I thought one day there would be something like that."

"It's superimposed. If it is, can you also understand your attitude towards me and that it shouldn't be?

"If you think you're going to be king any day, I think you are."

"So I have one instruction from His Majesty to Dear Ein. Do not use reverence against Dill, do not imitate your complexion. Respect the other person and demonstrate their worth."

Silvard's orders have always seemed somewhat difficult for Ein, who uses respectful language.

"Grandpa's, is that what you say as Your Majesty?

"Sir Left."

"... ok. Mr. Dill, then I think we'll deal with it that way. Best regards,"

"It is a great honor to serve as your escort to Master Ain. Best regards,"

"Dill. Look at this one"

Lloyd, who was watching Ain and Dill interact, turns Dill toward himself.

"It's a punishment for you. Eat your teeth off."

And Lloyd beat up his own son, Dill. The battered dill knocks his body to the ground.

"You have no idea why I got angry. While you treated His Royal Highness Prince Wang as he had done earlier, you said thank you without stopping it. I don't know why when that hits disrespect!

Ain't had no idea why Dill was suddenly beaten, but I hear and understand the explanation.

I found out that Dill was beaten because of me.

"I'm sorry. It seemed sweet to me, punishing me no matter what."

"Run over to the training center. Don't come back until it's good!

"Ha!"

Ain't staring at Dill, who was beaten because of himself and punished because of himself.

Dill, who told Lloyd to come running, heads outside to run right away.

"You fool! Let me say something to His Royal Highness Prince Wang!

"Huh... Your Highness! I apologize for exposing myself to this as an escort to the other who would also be His Royal Highness Prince Wang!

Dill then bowed his head and ran out again.

"... and well this is what happens, Dear Ein. As Marshal, as Dill's boss, I'm gonna be tough on you."

"Now I know very well. I was thinking slowly until I got used to it, and I decided to throw it away and go with perseverance."

"I appreciate that. Sounds like I don't have to hit my son, either."

Ain't never been good at dealing with it from above, but I thought if it was necessary, I'd have to do it.

I didn't even want to see my surroundings punished because of me.

"Nevertheless, if I say what I said earlier is disrespectful, my attitude towards His Majesty and Lord Warren is disrespectful in itself! Ha ha!

"It's ruined, Mr. Lloyd..."

"Well, I hope you get used to using Dill as a practice opponent, gradually. We all know Ain's kind heart. I hope you have the same attitude in front of me and Lord Warren."

I had worked with him for decades, and Ain knew that it was the only thing he could do because he was the one and only minister.

And to do so, I also know that there are a number of things I'm missing.

But Ain seemed a little envious of Dill.

Because Ain't never had a father to come this sincerely to.

In the midst of Ain's new education, in one room of the castle, Krone was about to be given one challenge.

"Now, Miss Krone. This is the homework I gave you the other day, but it's brilliant. I never had a problem with it."

"I'm relieved to hear that."

"Therefore, as promised, Miss Krone will be admitted to the Reebe Women's School run by Her Royal Highness from the same time as Ein after the dawn of winter."

"You can get a letter of recommendation, right?

"I'll write you a letter of recommendation, so there's no problem."

Krone had been tasked with numerous homework during the days since dinner with Olivia.

She did it without difficulty and submitted it to Warren.

Since there were no problems with the results, Krone would also be enrolled in Wang Du's school from the same period as Ein.

"I understand. So in the period until then, does that mean you can tell us what's missing?

"Of course. I also made the amount of this challenge because I thought it would take a little longer, but it seemed worrying, so let's increase the amount from now on."

"... thank you, I know"

Krone with a slightly tight grin.

Even as Krone, I'm glad to say that this time Warren gave me an assignment I tackled with death and madness.

The content of the challenge stems from questions of courtesy and manners, as well as case studies and suggestions on laws and policies. There were a wide variety of computational problems and so on.

I desperately solved it for the future.

"However, with regard to the following issues, we will proceed according to the three educational policies."

"Will you choose one of them"

"It's the left. You will choose from three things to tell you."

"Okay. Thank you very much."

And Warren takes a piece of paper and reads it out.

"The first is an educational policy with the ultimate goal of a position like mine. We will educate you to be the person you will need in the future."

The three educational policies were about what we wanted to do in the future.

Listen to that, Krone, too, seriously thinks about what he wants to be.

"The second is to say that we aim for someone like Her Royal Highness. You are so knowledgeable that no lady stands alongside you. To say that you will aim for those"

When I heard that, I thought Krone would be enough.

I still don't know what kind of person Ain wants. Nevertheless, I felt attracted to being said of a lady like a queen with a high upbringing.

"The third is the policy of aiming for a queen-like existence. Even if the king is not beside him, he thinks and acts himself, protects the people and gives instructions. You will develop strong judgment and thinking skills."

Hearing all the proposals, Krone thinks.

What is best for me and for Ain?

I overlapped many simulations in my head.

"... Dear Warren. May I offer you a suggestion?"

The day Ain and Krone set out to encourage new studies for each other's future.

That night, the usual three members were gathered to present today's report.

"Lord Lloyd, I heard you. He said he hit Lord Dill."

"Ha ha, that's just fast ears. But it's for Dill, it's for Ein."

"You'll be right what it takes to educate the two of us. Lloyd, what about Ein?"

"I cannot deny that there are parts of you that are a little too kind, but I believe that Master Ain is the vessel of the king. And that's why you're going to grow strong."

"Dear Ein has already finished half of what he learns in school in the castle. Nowadays, soldier, law, national politics, home affairs… and today, imperial studies have begun."

Ain't inspired many challenges from time to time. Not only as royalty, but also to gain the much knowledge needed as a king prince.

Recently, subjects such as home affairs have also been added, with a gradual increase in subjects. In the meantime, imperialism through Dill begins a little bit today. It was necessary to learn how to behave and think as one who stood above.

"You should be. I'm thinking about giving some more challenges, but it's still the two of you who get to see how things go the most. I trust you."

"Don't worry, we'll raise you to a fine king."

"Right, Your Majesty. Let's grow up and show it to strength that outweighs me any day!

"If that happens, I don't need an escort..."

In a soothing atmosphere, today's report proceeds.

"Next, Miss Krone, I will write you a letter of recommendation for Reebe Women's School because you have completed the assignment without any problems. At the dawn of winter, it will begin to pass from the same time as Ein."

"Wasn't it faster than expected?

"Yep. Please finish in about half the time period assumed. So I thought I'd double it from now on."

"... Lord Warren's education seems to be very demanding."

"Olivia asked me to do the same. If you want me to polish you beautifully, I'll do the best I can."

Even as Warren, I'm looking forward to giving Krone a class.

Absorb well and always do your best to encourage study as well. Even from Warren, who came as Chancellor in Istarica like that, the future was a crude stone to look forward to.

"If that were the case, we would have decided on education policy, too?

"Yeah, I made up my mind today."

"Let's hear it."

Krone chose his future. Silvard is also interested in what the hell that is.

"A lady with a high level of thought and judgment like a queen and a high level of upbringing who can keep an eye on the king...... so be it"

Warren giggles and says the answer. In the end, Krone chose not out of three. What she chose was a good, somewhat selfish conclusion.

"When you defend the king. … Your Majesty. Apparently we haven't had time to feel free since Olivia returned home."

"Must be. Not at all. A new generation is a problem with too many grains."

Silvard knew. That whoever tells me to protect the king will be beside me, how comforting it is.
