‘Indeed, His Majesty and Duke Lexion both resemble each other half and half.’

The scholars, with long legs stretched beneath the desk, couldn’t help but praise inwardly as their gaze casually fixed on the lecturer’s valter reading the textbook.

‘If the Duke and His Majesty pursued polygamy, there would likely be many unmarried noble gentlemen by now.’

‘Once the portrait is completed and distributed, it will sell like wildfire among the ladies.’

The Crown Prince boasted a sculpted appearance, extracting only the advantages of the two middle-aged men who once captivated the hearts of young ladies.

His chin was relaxed and elegant to the point where one could never think of him doing anything else.

However, Valter was only interested in flipping through the pamphlet.

According to the investigation carried out by Cassius for several days, students entering the academy had similar romantic aspirations.

Like making friends with new people in unfamiliar places or meeting their destined partner in social activities within the academy.

Having waited eagerly for the day to attend classes at the academy for a long time, Edit likely had similar aspirations, so Valter wanted to make that happen for her.

Almost memorizing the nearby famous cafes and restaurants, he turned the pages of the pamphlet.

[It seems that the academy has a sexually open atmosphere, perhaps because it’s a gathering place for young nobles.]

“…….”

A sexually open atmosphere? Valter couldn’t help but suppress a wry smile at the absurdity. It probably didn’t mean an atmosphere that embraced students with low grades.

Despite not liking the idea of Edit being in a lively place with energetic young men, he recalled a magical spell that eased vague anxiety.

“……Isaac’s child.”

Who is Edit?

In my childhood, I was a girl named Dan, hiding the fact that I was a child. My first love, my secret lover, the one who created the child, and the consistent partner in marriage.

As the thought reached there, Valter’s mouth involuntarily lifted. It was a laugh that couldn’t be hidden even if he covered his mouth with one hand.

The scholars nodded slightly, seemingly understanding the victorious smile appearing on his face.

“Yes, Your Majesty! From this incident onwards, the Agnas Empire will unify the continent.”

Valter was slightly surprised at the scholars’ enthusiastic response, but upon seeing the writings on the blackboard, he naturally mumbled.

“The era of glory is beginning.”

Adaptability was one of his skills. Once again, the scholars nodded with content faces.

“I am delighted to be teaching the heir to the throne during this historic moment.”

“Attending excellent classes is also my joy.”

Valter naturally resumed the class, glancing again at the pamphlet.

[In internal events, expressing interest in each other or secretly spending the night together when the eyes meet is also quite common.] [The lovers who kissed on the terrace by the lake in the western garden are famous for having an everlasting, passionate love.]

Initially, when Helene Portrion and her group came to the capital, Valter had imagined bringing Edit to the academy with them. However, now, having read the pamphlet, he only felt fortunate to be attending classes with her.

How could he have thought of sending Edit alone to such a place?

‘As for the role of the man meeting eyes at the internal event, well… I should take care of that. Even kissing by the lake in the western garden.’

If it wasn’t himself, who ranked first and second on Edit Lowell’s list of desirable men, who else would play that role?

With regained confidence, Valter, with a smile like a drawing, continued flipping through the pamphlet.

Unaware of this fact, Edit was sneakily glancing at his concentrated side.

Although she hadn’t confessed to Valter that there had been only one man in her life, she had once imagined what it would be like to attend the academy with Isaac.

Of course, Isaac’s opinion had never entered her pure imagination.

Now, Valter’s side profile was much more impressive than what she had vaguely envisioned back then. His magnificent nose, seemingly suitable for artists to reference, blended with the scenery outside the window, creating a picturesque image.

Just occasionally locking eyes with her and focusing on the textbook, Valter made Edit awkwardly shift her gaze.

‘Is Valter unexpectedly attentive in class…?’

Perhaps due to the different appearance from his usual playful impression, her heart fluttered.

“Valter, you were really focused in class.”

Edit, feeling uplifted by the scholars’ enthusiastic class, praised him.

Valter slightly bowed his head, answering so softly that others wouldn’t hear.

“I was thinking about how I could get the scores of His Highness, the Crown Prince, sitting next to me.”

It was an utterly pure truth, but Edit, thinking he was joking, laughed lightly.

Rather than shattering her fantasy, Valter raised his eyebrows slightly.
