The next day is the day of Kaiser's lesson with Myreni
Just like the morning before, Farah wakes Kaiser up and takes him out to the market. She holds his hand and buys him all kinds of treats that he likes (though, in truth, they are all things she likes, as Kaiser always says yes to her suggestions)
While eating an ice cream cone and holding Farah's hand, Kaiser spots a familiar white-haired figure. Feeling a familiar sense, he looks closer and recognizes the beautiful girl he met in the alley the day before
She is still wearing a cloak that covers her entire figure. She is walking in the opposite direction from Kaiser. After a moment, their eyes meet, and the girl's face shows clear surprise. Seeing this, Kaiser waves at her. The girl quickly regains her composure and waves back. The two then pass each other, and Farah immediately asks
"Who is she?"
"I just happened to see her yesterday. We haven't even spoken to each other" he replied
"She's pretty, huh?" Farah said with a teasing tone
"You're prettier" Kaiser calmly responded to her teasing
"Haha, smooth talker. I like it" Farah's cat ears perk up, a clear sign of her happiness
The two then return home and part ways. After changing clothes, Kaiser heads to Myreni's office room. The room is next to her bedroom. When he enters, Myreni is sitting behind her desk, wearing a real pair of glasses
'Did Farah copy her?'
"Good afternoon, Myreni" he said softly
"Oh Kaiser, you're here" she replied
"Take a seat" Myreni points to a chair in front of her
Kaiser complies and quickly sits down. Myreni then moves a blackboard from the corner of the room in front of him
"What will you teach me?" Kaiser asked
"I'll teach you about the world's knowledge, as well as how to read and write, to prepare you for your studies at Vesillian Academy" she said, adjusting her glasses
This text was taken from Royal Road. Help the author by reading the original version there.
"Did you do the same for Farah and Zani?" he asked curiously
"Yes, just like you, they didn't receive an education when they were young. So, I became their teacher. They've been following me for nearly ten years" Myreni explained in an unusually gentle tone
'Were they also orphans? Not too surprising, considering my own circumstances' Kaiser thought to himself
"So, first, let's learn about the world. We'll finish this topic today and focus on reading and writing in the following lessons" Myreni said, staying focused on the day's agenda
Kaiser nods in agreement and listens attentively to her lecture
"The structure of this world revolves around the number four. The world consists of four major continents: Nytheris to the east, Zephyros to the west, Solareth to the south, and Calystria to the north. At the center of the world lies the Holy Empire of Astraviel, home to the Saintess"
"The Saintess?" Kaiser asked
"Saintess is being sent by God to this land. They possess the power to inspire worship and devotion in others. Because they are creations of God, they embody absolute fairness, and no one can influence them" Myreni explains
"Does God exist?" he asked
"Perhaps. There are many miracles that only God's power could explain, such as the birth of the Saintess. The entity known as 'Who Above,' who granted you your an Aspect, could also be considered a deity" Myreni elaborates
"Do you have any other questions about this empire?"
"Did a holy stork bring the Saintess here?" Kaiser asked
"A holy stork? How could a stork bring the Saintess… Oh," Myreni quickly realizes the misunderstanding
"I'll answer that question when you're older" she explained quickly, feeling that Kaiser is too young for such topics
"Let's return to the topic of the world's information" she said, swiftly changing the subject
"The continent we live on is Nytheris. This continent consists of four empires: Velastras in the south, Elziah in the north, Gryndar in the east, and Harvalis in the west. Like all continents, the capital of Nytheris is located at its center and shares the continent's name"
"In each empire, a specific power governs it. The Fairchild Dukedom oversees Velastras, the Aurelia Dukedom rules Gryndar, the Goldwyn Dukedom governs Harvalis, and… the royal family leads Elziah," Myreni's voice takes on a sorrowful tone as she mentions the last part
Kaiser notices this change but, as in the alleyway before, he doesn't want to pry into someone else's pain
"That's the basic information about this world. Do you have any questions?" Myreni asked, quickly returning to her usual cheerful tone
"Can you teach me how to hide the stigma on my neck?" Kaiser asked, addressing something that had been on his mind
"Oh, that. I'll teach you when you reach the Adept level. Only then will you have enough skill to maintain such a concealment spell" Myreni replied
"Alright, I don't have any more questions"
"Okay, then let's move on to your reading and writing" Myreni said
The two of them then spend the rest of the day working on Kaiser's literacy skills
