The next morning, Lit opened his eyes blearily.

She rubbed her sleepy eyes and was about to stretch her body when she felt she touched something.

Turning her head, she found Orson lying beside her with his eyes closed, his chest rising and falling evenly.

Eh! ?

What is going on?

Lit was a little confused about the situation and began to think about what happened yesterday.

Yesterday, Brother Orson took me upstairs to rest. Because my room was not tidied up, Brother Orson let me rest in his room for a while.

Then, because I was so sleepy, I couldn't help it and fell asleep on Brother Orson's bed...

That should be it...

Then, I have been sleeping until now.

In other words, I occupied Brother Orson's bed, forcing him to share a bed with me...

Thinking of this, Lit felt full of guilt towards Orson.

Then, as if he remembered something, Litt quickly looked at his body.

Only after seeing that his clothes had not been touched did Litt breathe a sigh of relief.

At this moment, Orson also opened his eyes.

He was awakened by the noise made by Litt next to him.

I don't know why, but this body is always very sensitive to the slightest movements.

But this is also a good thing. At least I won’t be assassinated while sleeping in the future.

However, Orson has a bad habit, which is that he gets grumpy when he wakes up.

Although it's not serious, I always tend to be emotional in the few minutes after getting up.

"Are you awake?" Orson looked at Litt. "Be quieter next time. I slept late last night."

He thought he was speaking very restrainedly, but to Litt's ears, it still sounded like a thunderbolt.

It's over. As expected, I made Brother Orson angry because I took his position.

Li Te, Li Te, you are really an idiot! Brother Orson has spoiled you so much, but you still want to take advantage of him.

Thinking of this, Lit felt depressed, and then she said weakly: "I'm sorry, Brother Orson, I won't do it again next time..."

"Yeah." Orson nodded, then turned his back and prepared to take a nap.

Unexpectedly, a few minutes later, he felt Litt's body trembling behind him, and at the same time he heard Litt's suppressed sobs.

Oh no, how did I make this little ancestor unhappy? !

As Orson thought about this, his brain suddenly became clear. He hurriedly got out of bed, walked to the other side of the bed, squatted down and looked at Litt.

At this time, Lit's eyes were red and swollen, and he covered his mouth with his hands.

Even so, it couldn't be hidden from the perceptive Orson.

"Lite, you... are crying?" Orson looked at Litt, a little at a loss.

He had just fixed his relationship with Leeteuk yesterday, so why was he crying so early this morning?

Then he thought back to what he had said to Leeteuk.

Sure enough, my bad habit of being grumpy when waking up is really terrible.

He now really wants to slap himself twice in the face for what he did back then.

Litt shook his head and sat up from the bed.

"Yes... I'm sorry, Brother Orson, I made your bed dirty with my tears..." He said with sobs.

"It's okay, it's okay." Hearing this, Orson quickly hugged his shoulders and patted his back. "What I said just now was a bit too much. I'm sorry, Li Te. I apologize to you and make amends to you. Please forgive me, okay?"

"I was a little grumpy this morning, and my mind wasn't very clear. I'm sorry, Leeteuk."

As he said this, his tone softened, and he looked like a parent who had done something wrong.

After hearing Orson's repeated apologies, Litt's emotions gradually calmed down, and then he rubbed his eyes.

"Brother Orson, you really don't blame me?"

"No, no, Lit is such a good kid, how could I blame you?" Orson almost hugged Lit in his arms to coax him.

But considering that they were two men, he really couldn't bring himself to do that.

"Okay, okay, let's not talk about this anymore, let's talk about other things." Orson said this and looked at Lit. "Father and I discussed it yesterday. From now on, I will be your teacher."

"Teacher?" Li Te said hesitantly. "Brother Orson, do you want to be my teacher?"

To be honest, if he really had to have a teacher, Li Te really hoped it would be Orson.

The reason is simple. When he first joined the family, Orson was the only one who was passionate about himself and willing to tolerate all his shortcomings.

But at the same time, Lit was also worried that if his existence caused a lot of trouble for Orson, would Orson hate him.

After all, I am actually just a little burden.

"Brother Orson, isn't this too much trouble for you..."

"It's not a problem at all." Orson smiled. "After all, as your 'brother', it is my duty to teach you."

"Besides, I believe that someone as smart as you, Li Te, will definitely learn quickly."

"As long as you don't dislike me."

"How is it possible? How could I possibly dislike...Brother Orson?" Litt said in a low voice.

"Okay, Lit, have you forgotten what I said yesterday?"

"yesterday?"

"Well, you and I were born on the same day, so you can just call me Orson." Orson said this, took Lit's hand, and helped him stand up. "Okay, I'll take you to get familiar with the house first, and learn how to use the living facilities."

"it is good……"

Orson had two considerations for not letting Leeteuk call him brother. The first was to get closer to Leeteuk. If he kept calling him brother, he would always feel that Leeteuk was inferior to him, and this lack of confidence would be detrimental to his future development.

On the other hand, because a boy timidly called him "brother" and "brother", Orson always had hallucinations about the Water Margin.

As it was early in the morning, Lucius and Mary were not up yet, and there were only some servants cleaning the house.

Seeing Orson taking Litt around, the servants felt relieved.

After all, if the relationship between the master and the master is not good, it is likely that the servants will be the first to get hurt.

Orson took Litt by the hand and introduced the functions of each room, and then taught him how to use the facilities in his room.

I have to say that Littu is very smart. At least when the room was introduced, Littu remembered it all after just one time.

As expected of the protagonist, even though he hasn't awakened yet, he already has his own characteristics.

It was morning, Orson and Litt changed into their regular clothes, and after breakfast, they returned to Orson's room.

"Have you memorized every room in the house?" Orson asked, sitting in a chair.

"Yeah." Li Te, who was sitting next to him, nodded, and then used a pen to draw the floor plan of each floor of the house on a piece of white paper, and marked the owner or function of the room.

In order to make it convenient for the two to study together, the number of chairs in front of the desk in the room was increased from one to two.

"As expected of Litt, he's very smart~" Orson smiled and rubbed Litt's little head.

"Hehe..." After receiving praise from his brother, Lit also laughed happily.

Chapter 11: Stop pretending to be a child

"Okay, now let's talk about the content of the book." Orson pulled a book from the bookshelf. "By the way, Lit, can you read?"

"I... only know a little bit..." When he heard Orson asking him questions about knowledge, Lit immediately lost his confidence and said weakly. "Before, when the church held classes... I went to listen and learned a little bit, I don't know how it works..."

"Is that so? Then I'll go to the study and find you a book on literacy. You can take a look at it so that I can teach you more advanced knowledge."

"OK……"

……

Half an hour later, Orson widened his eyes in surprise as he looked at Litt who had read the entire first page of the book.

"You call that learning a little?"

In this world, although every town has a school, no matter what the size, it provides educational resources.

But at the village level, there are no schools. For the education of farmers, there are only routine church activities every year, which take the form of short-term church classes to teach farmers to read and write.

During this period, the knowledge that farmers were able to learn was very limited, and therefore, most of the rural population was completely illiterate in this world.

Those who can recognize all commonly used characters are considered intellectuals in rural areas.

And Litt actually seized this brief opportunity to receive education and learned all the characters?

"Eh?" Litt looked at Orson. She didn't know whether Orson was dissatisfied or recognized him. "I... because I only attended the church school for one year..."

"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.

"Correct

"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 are not allowed to do this, you don't have to 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.
