"Okay, I get it." Orson nodded and praised Lit. "As expected of Lit, he can learn it right away."
"Well, since you have learned all the characters, let's cancel the original teaching plan for this morning." Orson said, stretching. "Then it's time to rest. You can do whatever you want. In the afternoon, I will teach you the etiquette of the nobility."
"Oh, okay." Litte nodded.
"By the way, you can come into my room anytime from now on without asking me or anyone else." Orson said, opening the door and walking out. "If someone tells you that you can't do this, don't take it too seriously, just ignore them."
"If my brother needs permission to enter my room, then I am a failure as a brother."
Then he walked towards Lucius's room.
He wanted to report this good news to Lucius, so that Lucius would pay more attention to Lit.
……
"Come in." Lucius had just gotten up and put on his coat when he heard a knock on the door. He thought it was the servant bringing breakfast.
When Lucius saw that the person coming was his eldest son Orson, he looked at him in surprise and then smiled.
"Orson, why are you here? Oh, by the way, I asked about the problem with the room you mentioned yesterday. It seems that the servant in charge of cleaning the room forgot about it and cleaned it that night."
"Mary said she wanted to fire the servant, but I thought I'd give her another chance, so I kept her."
"I see." Orson nodded. "Father, I'm here to report on Leeteuk's academic performance."
"Oh? Are you starting to teach Leeteuk so soon?"
"Well, because the entrance test of the Imperial College is coming soon, we must prepare as early as possible." Orson said.
"Haha, it seems you are really a strict teacher." Lucius said jokingly. "So, how about it, do you think Li Te is as good as you said yesterday?"
"Yeah." Orson nodded. "More than that, I discovered Lit's strengths."
"He has a very good memory. When I showed him the house this morning, he remembered everything in one go."
"Oh? That's a great talent." A strong memory often means a strong learning ability, which can be a great help for entrance exams.
"I think so too." Orson nodded. "Then there's the writing. He claimed that he only attended church school for one year, but when I showed the literacy book to Leete, he could recognize every word on it."
"Yeah, not bad." Lucius's opinion of Lit had changed a little. "In that case, have you ever taught him anything about combat or magic?"
In the Empire, if a noble said that he or she could not fight or use magic, he or she would be ridiculed.
One of the hard requirements for graduating from the Imperial Academy is to obtain a fourth-level combat evaluation recognized by the Adventurer's Association.
In this regard, the official explanation given by the academy is: "If you don't have strong strength, how can you talk about strong wisdom?"
Of course, Orson had already met this requirement when he was twelve years old.
Otherwise, how can you say he is a monster?
"Not yet, but I think that Lit, who inherited your bloodline, will be stronger in combat than in learning."
"Haha, well said." Lucius nodded with satisfaction after hearing that.
His eldest son was very eloquent. He praised Litt and Lucius at the same time.
At this time, Mary also came in from outside.
"Master, the servants said you haven't gone to dinner yet, what's going on?"
"Oh, sorry ma'am, I just woke up." Looking at Mary who walked in, Lucius said with a hint of apology.
Orson saw Mary come in and greeted her.
Then, Lucius said: "But I heard good news."
"Oh?" Mary raised her eyebrows and looked at Lucius and Orson.
"Our child, Litt, Orson said he has a very good learning ability and can almost remember everything he sees."
"Orson?"
"Well, I'll let Orson be Lit's teacher." Lucius said, pointing at Orson. "I think that if a brother leads by example, it will stimulate Lit's desire to learn."
"That being said, doesn't Orson have his own things to deal with?" Mary said this, looking at Orson with a complicated look.
"Ah, mother, I'm fine. I have also learned a lot from teaching Litt." Orson replied quickly when he saw Mary looking at him.
"That's fine, then." Mary said leisurely, and then turned and walked out the door. "Master, eat, otherwise the servants will have trouble preparing lunch."
"Okay, please ask my lady to call me." Lucius said, changed his clothes, and walked out.
Orson just stood there.
Orson felt that the way Mary looked at him just now had a deeper meaning...
At noon, the restaurant was much quieter than yesterday, with only a family of four sitting at the table.
"Yesterday was a banquet, so there were more rules. Today is just a normal meal, so there's no need to be too particular."
Looking at Litt who was sitting next to him tremblingly, Orson said with a smile.
"Yeah." Mary also spoke up. "Leet, there's no need to be so nervous."
"Your brother Orson was praising you in front of us this morning. You, stop pretending to be a child in front of us."
Chapter 12: Changing Evaluations
"Oh, really?" Litt said in surprise after hearing Mary's words.
"You kid, are you so happy when you mention Orson?" Mary said, chuckling. "Yes, your brother Orson praised you."
Lit turned his head and looked at Orson, who smiled at him and nodded.
Then he turned back to look at Mary.
"Mother, you are so mean. How could Lit pretend in front of his family?" Orson smiled and resolved Mary's sarcasm for Lit.
"You're right, Litt." Orson patted Litt's shoulder naturally.
Benefit
Te shuddered, then sat up stiffly and nodded. "Yes... yes."
"Well, it seems I was overthinking it." Mary said with a wry smile.
She originally thought that Orson knew what to do after her advice yesterday, but she didn't expect that he was still stubborn.
Talking about loyalty, righteousness, benevolence and filial piety, only children would believe such things.
During the lunch time that followed, everyone spent it in a relatively harmonious atmosphere.
Mary is not a fool. The time when Litt just came into the family was when Lucius loved him the most, so she would not fall out with Litt directly.
To make Lit unhappy is to make Lucius unhappy.
Even if he wanted to whisper in Lucius's ear, he had to wait until Litt settled down and then find some flaws or something on him.
If Orson was willing to help her, Mary would be sure that Lucius' patience with Litt would wear out faster and faster. But now, no one knew what was wrong with Orson's brain, and he actually took the initiative to speak for his rival Litt.
It would be fine if he just sympathized with his competitors, but he actually wanted to cultivate his own competitors.
Mary had never seen anyone like him.
Before this incident, Mary thought that Orson was born to be a high and mighty ruler, but after what happened in the past two days, Mary felt that her opinion of Orson should change.
Feelings like kindness should not exist in aristocratic families.
……
In the afternoon, Lit finally returned to his room.
The layout of her room was almost the same as that of Orson's room. In addition, she had stayed in Orson's room all day yesterday, so when she returned to her room, she always had the illusion that she had come to Orson's room.
From now on, will I live in such a big house?
Leeteuk's eyes widened as he looked around the room.
Finally, he turned his attention to the big bed in the middle of the room.
Then, she threw herself onto the bed.
The soft mattress has excellent resilience, and Lit even feels like he can play trampoline on the bed.
After being alone, Leeteuk finally relaxed a little and began to show the playful nature of youth.
Then, the door opened and a maid walked in.
Lit turned around in surprise and looked at the maid.
She felt that the maid in front of her looked familiar, and then she remembered that she seemed to be Brother Orson's personal maid, named... Vivian.
Li Te looked at the mess he had made on the bed, quickly climbed down from the bed, and then stood up straight.
"Um... Sorry, I, I didn't mean to do that. I will make the bed later."
"Pfft." Vivian smiled, then walked forward, brushed the bed a few times with her hands, and straightened the sheets.
"Master Li Te, don't worry. We will take care of the bed sheets no matter how messy they are." Wei Wei An said, looking at Li Te. "Oh, Master Orson asked you to go to his room."
"Oh, okay." Litt nodded and walked out of the room.
Halfway through the walk, he suddenly turned back and bowed to Vivian.
"Um... Miss Vivian, I'm so sorry for taking the trouble to help me make the bed."
After saying this, without waiting for Vivian's reply, she turned and left, heading towards Orson's room.
"Master Orson is right. Master Litt is indeed a good man..." Vivian stared at the door for a moment, then smiled and continued to help Litt make the bed.
Standing at the door of Orson's room, Litt took a few deep breaths, then knocked on the door gently and pushed it open before walking in.
"Lite is here?" Orson looked at Litt who walked in from outside.
"Well, Brother Orson... Orson."
Seeing Orson staring at him, Litt remembered that he and Orson had agreed yesterday that he would not have to call him brother from now on.
Although he didn't know why the other party didn't want to take advantage of him, Li Te still did it.
"Well, that's right." Orson nodded with satisfaction. "I'm going to teach you the etiquette of the nobility this afternoon."
"Regarding the etiquette of the nobility, it has always been passed down orally among the nobility. Children who grow up in aristocratic families can learn a lot from their daily lives without being taught. But since you, Lit, lived in the countryside before and are now older, this method is not suitable.
It applies to you too.”
"So, I spent last night and my lunch break today to write some summaries about aristocratic etiquette. You can take a look at it." Orson said this, taking out a notebook from the table behind him and handing it to Litt.
"If you think the handwriting is too ugly, I will read it to you. Anyway, this textbook was tailor-made for you. There is only one copy in the empire. There are no more."
"Well, thank you Orson!" Litt said, took the notebook, and then sat next to Orson.
"Take a look at the notes above. If you have any questions, ask me. By the way, I'm going to take you outside this afternoon. You can also see how I treat others and learn from me."
"I believe you will learn it quickly, come on." Orson said this and patted Litt's shoulder.
I don’t know why, but every time I patted Lit’s shoulder, this kid always straightened up nervously.
Obviously I didn't use much strength. Patting on the shoulder is a very common way of encouragement among boys.
Could it be that Leeteuk doesn't like physical contact with people?
Orson thought about it and felt that this was most likely the reason.
"Okay, you watch first, I'll go downstairs to get something." Orson said this, stood up, and left the space to Litt.
Litt opened the notebook and found that the handwriting on the notebook was not as bad as Orson said. Instead, it was very neat and beautiful.
Because the above mentioned are the essence of the content sorted out and summarized by Orson, the notes are not long. When Orson came back, Litt had already read almost half of it.
"Is everything going well? See." Orson brought two cups of coffee with sugar and handed one to Litt.
"Thank you..." Litt thanked him softly. "Orson's notebook is very clear and the handwriting is beautiful. I can read it very smoothly."
"That's good." After hearing what Litt said, Orson nodded with relief, then took a sip of coffee and started reading his book.
