I’ll Become the Tyrant’s Tutor - Chapter 12

──────⊱◈◈◈⊰──────

Prim was speechless.

‘My beast, what should I do with you.’

He is  feeling much better around her now, considering how he gave her such a cold shoulder before.

Despite her frustrated face, Reynsis shrugged his eyebrows as if it was not a problem.

She has to teach him from 1 to 10.

Prim coughs as she corrected her posture in front of him.

“What is the first thing you want to say to a woman if you ever meet them?”

“None.”

He answered with his dry voice.

“Eh?”

“Nothing. Because they will say it out aloud. Name, origin, age and even their family members.”

Prim was momentarily speechless. After a few minutes of silence, she spat out again.

“Then, you’re going to ask that first. Of course they would reveal their name in front of you, since you are a royalty, a Prince. So it’s natural for someone to act like that but this time it’s important for you to ask first. “

“…….”

“You can say hello and check their condition, and naturally continue the conversation. What brings you here, do you have a favorite car? Can I treat you to a drink? things like this are simple, isn’t?”

“No.”

He stirred from his seat as if that kind of thing is not even his style.

“But you have to go outside and meet your fate. There are people that speak ill of you, Your Highness.”

“……”

This is absurd. Reynsis purges his lips as he glances at her.

But when he saw Prim’s serious face, the bad insults that he was about to spit out disappeared like a cotton candy from his mouth.

‘Am I being possessed by this swindler?’

Reynsis looked at her with his haughty face.

“Is this the only way?”

“Yes.”

“…. You are really doing the weirdest things.”

Despite Reynsis irritating tone, he acts obedient.

“Now, shall I ask what is your favourite food?”

“……..”

“You can do it.”

Reynsis sighs at the uninspiring cheering, grudgingly opening his mouth.

“I…”

“Oh gosh, you are doing great there!”

“…. I, good- m sir—”

“Yes! Sir. Then, what’s next?”

“Ah no! I won’t do it!”

Reynsis turned his head away. His ears are red because he is embarrassed.

Prim smiled.

“It’s all right. You’ll be able to do it better in the future.”

“……”

“Next time, like this, where’s your smile? Like this.”

Prim smiled broadly.

“Only if you don’t act crazy.”

The harsh words came back. But Prim was excited  and ignored it.

“Oh, right. You didn’t answer. I like desserts! Oh, this is a little vague. Eclair or Dakouaz, and also a cake full of sugar syrup!”

“…….”

“Oh, come to think of it, I have a question! Do you have a strawberries farm at the Palace? I had strawberry tart as a snack yesterday. Oh, my God. It was so delicious, right? Strawberries that are so delicious… have been eaten by me.”

“Stop.”

Reynsi snapped off her incessant flow of words.

She was pouring out her words, so her mouth was like a fool in this state.

“But I’m not done talking yet.”

“It’s noisy and my ears are bleeding.”

“But, Prince, it is so important that you don’t stop talking. You have to show that you respect your partner’s words. It’s a given.”

“……”

He sent a fierce look, as if he would leave his seat if she speaks one more time.

“Just think of this as an investment because this is super important. Change how you talk according to the situation. You can do it, right?”

Prim quickly changed her words. Reynsis  looked at her with a mocking laugh.

Prim was smiling as she was so excited

“I’ve never seen such an enthusiastic face.”

“Because you finally listen to me.”

“……”

“Oh, speaking of which, that tarts are really delicious. I’m going to ask you about Marian but I’ll put it down first. So, let’s eat together next time.”

Next time. Reynsis murmured in silence without him realizing it.

“It makes me feel better when I eat something delicious. Besides, eating with someone you like makes it even more ….”

(Reynsis) “Even more what?”

Reynsis looked at Prim with an indifferent face.

She was startled but she smiled anyway.

“I really like what I eat.”

( note : OH COME ON )2

“……..”

He felt something snapped him.

Reynsis looked at her in a crooked position, with his jaw clenched and felt sudden irritation.

(Reynsis) ‘Is that tart so good?’

She seemed unaware of the fact that her cheeks turn red when she smiles.

In his colourless world, her color was particularly noticeable.

Reynsis was strangely irritated by that fact. It was hard to know why he kept looking at her.

But he did not point out why she laughed. He didn’t want to admit it, but her smile was pretty.

Strawberry tart. ( note : prim’s favourite tart)

A pleasant feeling. And —

“…….”

Reynsis quietly caught her smiling in her eyes.

Then he blinked several times. It was a pain in his eyes again. But he was used to it now.

The first color he saw now in his gray colored eyes in a short time, but,

It was a short moment that no one could see.

“Prim!”

Prim was about to enter the Palace for lunch with Reynsis. In the distance, the horseman Gillian came and called her name.

His red face meant that he had good news to say.

“Hello, Gillian.”

“Prim. I’m glad we met.”

“Oh, what’s wrong? Don’t you like Sera?”

“Huh?”

Gillian looked at Prim with a puzzled look at the sudden question. Prim had a rather serious face.

Gillian was unrequitedly adoring Sera, the maid . He had counseled with all his heart as he hesitated to confessed with a flushed face.

‘Did that not work?’

Gillian blushed.

“No, not that…”

“Well how did it go?”

“Yes, it’s all thanks to you.”

Gillian said shyly, blushing to his ears.

‘He’s a child.’

Prim looked at him with a proud face.

“Prim is really great. How do you know people’s minds so well?”

“Well, I’m a little competent. “

“But why does Prim —”

“— Wait, that’s it.”

Prim cutted his words with a determined look.

His question will be like, “Why does Prim still single when she is so good at counseling?”It has already been nailed to her ears. If added one more time, it will be a hundred.

“Well, I am so forgetful. I’m not here to tell you about our counselling.”

Gillian said as he came to his senses.

“I came here after completing the task that you have given to me.”

Prim face that tilted in confusion a moment ago went bright.

A few days ago, when listening to Gillian’s problem, Prim asked for one piece of information.

He was the most frequent wealth trader among the palace. There was no suitable person to find out the information.

“Really? About the lady’s social gathering. Did you figure it out?”

Prim asked.

“Yes, some horsemen were trying to gather the information, and I have met several people.”

“Wow, as expected. The best horseman.”

Prim praised him with exaggerated words. Gillian shrugged his shoulders.

Then he paused for a moment and said with a slight embarrassment.

“What do I do with this? Let’s go. We already know this, but we’re running out of time. You might not be able to make it on time even if you run to the gathering.”

“Really?”

At Gillian’s words, Prim is in agony. It happened to be lunch time.

“Oh, wait.”

Before getting on the carriage, Prim caught the maid who was passing by. Then, told them to inform Reynsis about her outing.

“I’ve told him for now.”

If I asked him first, I would probably give him a slap on the face, saying, “You think it’s natural to have lunch together?”

Of course she was worried.

Prim got into the carriage. Her heart beat like crazy.

She doesn’t know if she can meet Reynsis’s destiny at the lady’s gathering.

Her heart thumped like crazy. Hard as the carriage moving toward the enemy’s territory.

***

“…. Yes, get out.”

Reynsis nodded as the maid finally left his room.

“……”

Reynsis frowned alone as he stared at the strawberry tart in front of him.

Strawberries were as red as Prim’s hair.

Until now, he thought he had adapted because of Prim. But it wasn’t.

That color still bothered him.

‘They said that she was so excited when she asked Gillian a favor.’

Reynsis stared at the tart as if he were going to kill someone. He poked the strawberry with a fork as if he were in a heart ache.

The tart got crumbled with a whipped cream. It turned into a mess as the red color also faded. He didn’t like it more.

‘What’s it got to do with me whether she’s out or not? Just get out.’

He turned his eyes out of the window as he stared at the messed-up strawberries.

It was a very quiet day because no one was making a fuss. Surprisingly.

Reynsis, who stared at the sky, turned his head away as if he didn’t like it.

***

“Is this really okay?”

Prim who is inside the carriage asked Gillian one more time. He nodded with a confident look.

“Of course. How hard it was for me to figure out this place!”

“As expected, the best horseman. You are a blessing.”

Prim get off from the carriage.

The carriage stops at the center of the capital, on the left side, into a deep alley. It was a tea house and the people here were wearing masks.

It is quiet and there are not many visitors, so it is often used by aristocrats when they have a secret meeting, Gillian said.

‘I’m just looking around. You never know.’

Dark hair and red eyes+

The Beast’s Beauty.

With a determined face, she strode into the store.
