“What are you doing here?”
Caeron frowned.
Three boys quickly bowed their heads.
Dressed only in undergarments, the boys looked to be between 10 and 13 years old.
“Aren’t you the Crown Prince’s servants?”
“Yes, yes we are, Lord Caeron.”
“What is the reason for causing a commotion in the quiet palace?”
“His Highness suddenly took our clothes and beat us with a wooden sword!”
The youngest boy couldn’t help but show tears in his unjust treatment.
As if he had guessed it, Caeron touched his forehead with his hand.
“You should have taken care to prevent such an unsightly incident.”
“You know as well, Lord Caeron? His Highness takes out his anger on us. Sob, sob.”
“Isn’t it also your job to tend to His Highness’s mood? Strive to preserve the honor of the family.”
The boys were not ordinary attendants but noble descendants dreaming of becoming the confidants of the future Emperor.
I had heard that second or third sons who could not inherit their titles sought their future in this way.
‘All of them must be children raised nicely in good homes… Isn’t this child abuse? Violence by hierarchy?’
Either way, the Crown Prince was no ordinary scamp.
Even the expression “scamp” was too generous.
It was shocking that no one had stopped the Crown Prince’s rampage so far.
“Caeron. What did the former educational supervisor do?”
“He resigned due to health issues.”
“He didn’t run away, did he?”
Caeron subtly averted his eyes.
The boys rushed to tattle.
“The former teacher couldn’t last even a month. His Highness put a dead mouse in his cushion!”
“He poured hot tea on the back of his hand.”
“He pricked his lips with a silver spoon. The teacher was scared of His Highness until the day he left.”
Caeron sternly scolded the boys.
“You brats! Have you forgotten your vow of secrecy? Keep talking, and I’ll whip you and chase you away!”
I glared at Caeron as he sighed.
I thought Caeron had made a wise choice for me by bowing to the power of magic.
I never thought he would offer me a job that no one wanted.
“Caeron. This… say something about this?”
“I will provide the highest salary on the continent. I will take care of your clothing expenses, dignity maintenance fees, and vacation expenses.”
“You seem to forget, I am Elizabeth Emster. The richest woman in the capital!”
“Hmm. There are separate tutors for each subject. Elizabeth, you only need to manage his overall daily life.”
“That’s the hardest part, isn’t it? Enough to make nobody want to do it.”
He had appointed a woman who was neither a noble nor had a good reputation as the educational supervisor for the Crown Prince.
There was no opposition from the nobles.
I thought it was strange, but it made sense.
It looked like I would suffer what their children would suffer.
“You want me to eat this trash? Get out of here now!”
With a sharp cry and a crashing sound, something broke.
The ornate oak door opened.
The chef and maids with golden plates stumbled out from the Crown Prince’s chamber.
I laughed hollowly at the horribly ruined food.
“Why is there a footprint on the steak? And why is ink sprinkled on the salad instead of dressing?”
“His Highness must have become a picky eater.”
“Do you call this picky eating?”
“His Highness is still young. He grew up lonely too.”
“That’s why he has been indulged, right? It’s no different from neglect!”
After a moment of silence, Caeron criticized the Crown Prince.
“We can make the food again.”
“We must discipline him, even if we have to tell His Majesty!”
“I cannot tell him.”
“Why?”
“His Majesty does not want to hear it.”
“What?”
“The Crown Prince’s affairs are all to be handled by the educational officer, as ordered.”
A thuglike Crown Prince, and an Emperor who didn’t even care about his son!
With a father like that, proper education was impossible.
Just before blowing up in frustration, Caeron knocked.
“Your Highness, I’m the Minister of Internal Affairs.”
“Get lost.”
“A new educational officer has arrived. Please meet them.”
“If you want to live, tell them to run away immediately.”
It was a cold voice, just like his father’s.
Caeron looked back at me with a bitter face.
“I entrust the Crown Prince to you. The only person I can trust is Lady Elizabeth. No, it is something that only Lady Elizabeth can do.”
“Even if he’s the Crown Prince, I can’t tolerate it! I’ll tear out his rotten personality and fix it! Did you know I would come out like this?”
“…You didn’t?”
“Hmph. You’ve dreamt an absurd dream.”
Caeron looked disappointed.
Regardless, I patted Caeron’s shoulder.
“I’ll leave now. I hate getting involved with people I don’t welcome.”
“Lady Elizabeth!”
“You take care of His Majesty’s precious son yourself.”
[Star Icon][Star Icon][Star Icon]It was a night when not even a single star could be seen.
A north wind blew beneath the dark clouds.
Spring was just around the corner, but the palace was plunged into a grim darkness.

Wasn’t the male lead described as a cold and otherworldly figure in the book?
Then who was this poor little thing crying with swollen red eyes and tear-stained face?
Short scene 2:
Wei Jing Mo stared intently at Feng Bai Su who was about to go out, wanting to say, “Be careful on the road.”
Before he could speak, Feng Bai Su suddenly bent down and bit his cheek.
Her peach blossom eyes were full of disdain: “Tsk! You’re so clingy!”
Wei Jing Mo: “…”
