Are these people ghosts and vampires? Everyone walked without making a sound, but luckily they weren't doing anything strange.
"Excuse me, can I choose some books to take back to my room?" Wayne asked, pointing to the bookshelf.
"I think it should be possible. The eldest lady has agreed to your borrowing." Hall replied respectfully, not showing contempt for Wayne because of his young age or unknown origin.
Wayne said a little embarrassedly: "Okay, so Butler Hall, can you help me choose two books about etiquette? I want to learn more about this aspect."
Butler Hall naturally complied and selected two etiquette explanation books with patterns for him. The handwriting on them was completely handwritten, and it was obvious that they were treasures that were not easily available outside.
A little later, another maid delivered a batch of brightly colored picture albums to Wayne's room.
'... Logically speaking, Hall probably didn't see what book he was reading just now. 'Wayne could only secretly be glad that he reacted quickly, otherwise his character would have been ruined.
Although it is theoretically possible to gradually reveal some talents as you grow older, and then slowly reveal your true self little by little, the problem is that he is not the only one holding the original script, and Wayne does not want to reveal his identity yet.
The female protagonist in the Otome series is a very scary existence, and he is afraid that she will not end well if the plot changes.
After all, the protagonist will be fine, and the cannon fodder are all supporting characters. Moreover, he is now in a very dangerous position. If there is any correction force, it is not impossible to directly sacrifice him to the sky for the smooth development of the original plot.
Therefore, Wayne has secretly made up his mind not to rashly challenge the strong will of the Otome fan creator.
The safest way to survive is naturally to advance the plot step by step along the aura of Chrissy's protagonist, while he hides behind her to mediate in various ways, hugging her thighs and developing obscenely. When the time is ripe, wait for an opportunity to break away from the main line and usher in a beautiful life of freedom.
To sum it up in one sentence: Stay safe, safety first.
After sorting out his thoughts, he climbed back onto the bed with satisfaction to catch up on his sleep.
…
But the cruel reality hit him hard the next day.
"What is this?" Wayne muttered, holding a list in his hand.
"In addition to the swordsmanship and etiquette classes you are currently studying, this is a specially formulated cultural course tutoring arrangement for you."
The maid whom I saw for the first time yesterday stood with her hands lowered and replied respectfully: "The new school year of the elementary school will start soon. Compared with your classmates in the same year, you have fallen behind a lot of basic knowledge. In addition, you have a certain understanding of the nobility. Etiquette is almost unknown and certainly requires more effort in your free time to master.”
Seeing that one item after another on the list was packed, Wayne's scalp felt numb.
"But, but, it's a bit too much..."
"This is what is necessary to become an excellent noble child." The maid said, "Even Miss Chrissy is like this."
Hearing this, Wayne couldn't help laughing when he thought of Chris's performance yesterday.
"That's it, okay then." Now that he had said that, Wayne had no choice but to accept the schedule reluctantly.
"By the way, this...sister? When will father come back?"
"Please just call me 'Karen'." The maid's voice was lukewarm. "Sir Elliot is going to inspect the territory and is expected to return in half a month."
I had just adopted my new son a few days ago and was away from home for such a long time. I didn’t even think about how to get along with the unfamiliar family members. Did he really take pity on him and adopt him because he saw him as pitiful?
Wayne shook his head to get rid of these useless thoughts.
There is a possibility of opening a strange branch line, which is absolutely unacceptable, even if you think about it.
Before he could have breakfast, Wayne was dragged to morning exercises by an excited Chrissy.
"Wayne, an excellent warrior must have a strong body! It's not enough to just stand aside and listen to the teacher explain the swordsmanship lessons. From now on, exercising every morning is essential. It is precisely because of the lack of exercise that you will It’s so easy to get sick.”
Chrissy was wearing a slim-fitting vest today, without those complicated accessories, and she was dressed cleanly and neatly.
Wayne looked at the wooden sword in his hand and couldn't help but complain.
Miss, do you still remember that my setting is a magic genius?
However, his body is indeed very thin and his skin is very pale. If he extends his arms to block the sun, he can even see the blood vessels through the light.
In the animation, this was just a few lines of setting, but in reality, Wayne found that he was almost like an albino and could pretend to be a ghost without even applying powder.
Fortunately, his hair was still black and his face was still handsome, so he reluctantly accepted his new image.
Since I have a beautiful girl by my side, it wouldn't be a bad idea to get some exercise.
Then the two children poked around with wooden swords.
"Hey!"
"ha!"
"Roar!"
"babble!"
"Look at me, Thomas' spinning swordsmanship!"
"Sister Chris." Wayne, who was holding a small wooden sword, looked full of admiration and yearning. "What kind of powerful secret skill is Thomas Spin? Can you teach it to me?"
"Uh... it's the family secret of a passing Kamen Rider who doesn't want to be named, so I can't just teach it to you without his permission. I'm sorry, Wayne." Chris said regretfully, with a tinge on her face. Not red at all.
The little boy looked disappointed when he heard this.
"It would be great if I could meet that Kamen Rider too."
In the attic, Mrs. Ashwell was watching this scene quietly, without moving for a long time.
"Madam, Master Wayne is very friendly with Miss Chrissy." Kallen whispered, "I privately believe that as long as he is raised properly, Master Wayne can also become Miss Chrissy's right-hand man."
Even though she was admonishing in a low posture, her body was still straight.
Ashwell asked calmly: "Do you think Chris will lack a right-hand man in the future?"
Karen was silent.
Indeed, even if Miss Chris does nothing, those who are willing to become her right-hand man can line up from the royal capital to the endless sea at the edge of the continent.
"but."
Ashwell said in a low tone: "I will try my best to accept him, because this is Elliot's wish..."
…
Wayne was sweating all over.
He was one year younger than Chrissy, and girls develop earlier. At this time, Chrissy was a full head taller than him, giving her a huge advantage in physical strength.
"Wayne, you have to grow up quickly."
Chrissy said with a smile after winning.
Wayne puffed out his cheeks depressedly.
Chrissy's words reminded him of a game he loved to play when he was a child. The protagonist in it would groom his beloved pony with a brush every day, then pat its butt and say, "You have to grow up quickly." .
Gan, what do you think I am!
Chris was completely unaware of Wayne's resentment. In fact, she was in a very good mood today.
'Finally, finally school is about to start...'
After traveling through time, she experienced an extra long summer vacation, and Chris felt like fungi were about to grow in her head.
According to the original plot, the villainous daughter Chris will receive education at the elementary school attached to Qingxi Academy, known as the first magic academy in the royal capital, and then naturally go straight to the middle school and the main school.
The story really unfolds when the protagonist reaches the age of 15 and enters the Qingxi Academy headquarters because of his magical power. Everything he experiences now is just a foreshadowing in the original work.
...The foreshadowing is probably too long.
However, being able to have an interesting collective life is indeed a gratifying thing compared to being tortured by tutors every day.
So, Chris is looking forward to it.
