I’ll Become the Tyrant’s Tutor - Chapter 8

──────⊱◈◈◈⊰──────

It may sound a little crazy, but the choice she had made that day was excellent, as Prim thought.

Prim walked into the Prince’s room with a big smile.

“Hello, Your Highness.”

It was because she felt like she got very close with Reynsis.

“The weather is surprisingly nice today!”

Prim speaks sweetly towards the Prince as she sits face to face with him. Reynsis looked at her as if she was going crazy overnight.2

Prim began to chat without waiting for him to avoid her openly like before.

“You know, I met Marian when I was on my way here. She kept on nagging at me about you, what wrong with His Highness these days..”

Prim spoke endlessly. It was as if she was talking to herself, not to him. Reynsis’s face began to twist. It means that he can’t stand it anymore because it is too noisy.

‘She’s been asking me to believe in her and yet..’

He was about to blurt out his annoyance but Prim quickly grabbed her injured nose when she saw that.

“Oh, again!”

“………”

“You know I got hit yesterday while protecting someone. It still hurts. Hmmm, what should I do.”3

( note : she’s making him felt guilty )

She was saying that she was hurt, but her voice sounded sly. Prim held onto her nose since she got a punch while shielding him from his brother.

It was obviously fake, but Reynsis kept his mouth shut. Because it was true that she was being hit just to protect him.

The effect was great.

With the memory that she remembered, Prim talked wildly.

It was only about three days after that. Reynsis finally opened his mouth with a scary face as if he couldn’t stand it anymore.

“Please stop talking…”2

“Gosh, my nose!”

“………”

“I think I have another nosebleed. What do we do? Ah, it’s flowing again. Can I charge the Imperial Palace for the damages?”

“— Crap.”

He sighs as he was too tired to argue.

‘If i had known it would be like this, I would rather punch myself’

Reynsis twisted his beautiful face when he recalled the things that Daphs did to them several days ago. When Prim saw that, she was trying hard to hold her laugh.

Maybe it’s because she was hit at her nose too hard, Reynsis no longer uttered harsh words.

For example, he always says, “Get out, get lost or I’ll kill you.”

This is a great development.

“Do you read books?”

Prim sat down in front of him while speaking affectionately.

Reynsis made a sickening face after seeing her bold move. He replaced his harsh words with his expression on his face. But Prim was not an easy woman to be daunted by it.

“I like reading too.”

“……..”

“Please recommend a book to me later. What I read is, uh, I usually read novels. Oh, right! Do you have any books that summarize the Myths of the Empire? I’ve been reading about it so much.”

Her mouth speaks nonstop.

“Oh, are you giving it to me?”

It was because Reynsis suddenly closed his book. He frowned at Prim.

“It’s not like that.”

“Then?”

“If I don’t do this, you will keep on making noise.”

“Thank you for the recommendation, I’ll enjoy it!”1

“……..”

It was meant to keep her mouth shut, but Prim interpreted it at her own will. The shameless act was a step ahead for Prim.

Reynsis shook his head as if he was sick of it. It was clear that the teacher didn’t want to shut up.

Prim smiled and read the book.

“……..”

And after checking the title of the book, her expression suddenly hardened.

<The Relation between Blood and a Monarch>

It was such a harsh title.

‘Did you usually read this’

Prim rolled her eyes at the pile of books next to him. All of them were those kinds of books.

<The Founding Myth of the Delen Zion Empire>

He’s even got some good books to read.

It was all about the fact that God, who literally loved the Empire has given His blessing to them.

‘…..When the drought came and the empire suffered, it was enough to turn the time back into the past and return it to fertile land. God was capable in changing back the time and loved the empire to the fullest….’

Prim read just that much and closed the book.

‘I can’t do this.’

Prim pushed the book he had given to her into the corner. Breathe in, breathe out.

Then, Prim opened her mouth.

“I like something a little more light than this.”

“I’m not curious about your taste.”

He gave a short reply. He didn’t want to hear it, but Prim didn’t give up.

“I’m curious. What does the Prince like and dislike?”

Finally, Reynsis looked at her. Prim quickly lengthened her words.

“I thought we could have tea together. I have a very passionate heart. That’s why I applied for a painter position. Of course money is money, but…”

Prim, who was confused at the end of her speech, quickly changed the subject.

“The painters who came before I came. They lied, ‘He who gets close to the prince is cursed.’ They couldn’t even touch you, Your Highness. “

Prim brag as if it was her own business.

‘Why is she saying that’s a lie?’

Reynsis remembered all their fears when he encountered them as if they saw the Emperor.

But after only a week staying at the Belles Palace, she was convinced that the painters had lied.

Reynsis looked at her with a complicated expression as she was just in front of him.

“But what if I’m fine? They’re telling us that they were lying all along.”

That’s what Prim said, as she sat closer to Reynsis. He was startled then froze at his chair.

He can see her smile. Now, his eyes started to sting.

“I’m telling you, Your Highness, my eyes and hands are all fine.”

The pain died down when he blinked slowly a few times.

Prim, who had no idea about Reynsis’s condition, continued to exaggerate her way of speaking.

“Besides, if you look closer and friendly with me, everyone will be surprised. On the one hand, everyone will be curious. Everyone says that being close to you is a curse but why am I still in a good condition? Isn’t it possible that the other people were just fooling around?”

His pain slowly faded as he frowned at her.

“— So I just have to get closer to you?”

“Yes!”

Prim nodded.

It was hard to believe. He shook his head with a slight laugh. The more he interprets her words, the more he felt drawn in.

The other seems to be rejecting him that made Prim feel wary.

‘I’m not listening anymore.’

He judged her slightly and sat down. Then he suddenly stands from his seat as Prim followed him with her eyes.

“Where are you going, Your Highness?”

“You don’t have to know.”

He gave a short answer and tried to leave the room.

But if you step back from here, then all her hard work is wasted. She was the type woman who pushed her goals to the end.

Prim quickly rose from her seat.

“What is it?”

“I am following you, Your Highness.”

“Why?”

“It is the lesson period right now. It would not be strange if a teacher wanted to follow her own student.”

Prim said that while blinking innocently. Reynsis sighs, as it would be obvious that she will follow him no matter how hard he’s trying to avoid her.

He turned around silently and Prim followed him to the study room. She followed him like a puppy.

They finally arrived in front of the study room in the Belles Palace. Reynsis stopped abruptly as Prim suddenly went blank and blinked slowly.

“Are you really going to follow me?”

“Yes. I was just about to read a book, what a coincidence we here, Your Highness.”

Prim laughed naturally as he frowned again.

“From here to the west, I’m going in alone.”

“Pardon me.”

“You can’t follow me.”

“What?! Why? I have the freedom to read too.”

“No.”

“But this is unfair!”

“It’s an order.”

What a cheap man!

Prim opened her mouth wide but she was speechless.

“I can’t concentrate on reading because it’s noisy when you’re around. So never come in.”

The door was closed before she could refuse it. The door closed with a loud bang, just like his heart.

“…What’s wrong with you.”

He murmured slowly as he held the door.

Before it was closed, he remembered her face who was about to cry.

Reynsis smiled unconsciously. But he didn’t seem to realize it.2

***

Meanwhile, outside the study, she gritted their teeth.

‘I can’t back down like this.’

Now that it has come to this, she has decided to strangle Reynsis without mercy.

‘My beast is a very tough guy too.’

What kind of Beauty would like him if he’s like this?

Prim grumbled as she lifted the hem of her skirt and sat down on the floor.

“Oh my, Lady Primabel.”

“Hello.”

A passing maid greeted her. It was Mary, a lady-in-waiting who became quite close with her because they often have dinner together.

“What are you doing here, Lady.”

“Well, as usual I am waiting for His Highness.”

“You really have a lot of trouble regarding that.”

Mary, who said so, had a book in her hand. Prim pointed the book at her hand.

“Are you here to read? What with the book?”

“Ah, this book.”

Mary smiled awkwardly and hid the book behind her. But Prim’s eyes were faster. Prim was sharp enough so that’s why Mary was cautious.

“Dating worries?”

“Hahaha..”

Mary laughed awkwardly. The book she was holding was a love-related book. Prim said with her eyes glued to the book as if she knew it.

“You can’t even confess because you’re just looking at him, right.”

“Oh my, how did you know?”

The lady-in-waiting opened her eyes wide as if surprised.

“Because you are relying on books. Sometimes, you can’t just follow all the books said. We just have to be open.”

“What should I do?”

“But this is a little expensive..”

Prim looked perplexed. Then, Mary came close to her with an impatient face.

“Tell me, Young Master Prim.”

( Mary ) “But I haven’t really been in a relationship before, but..”

“Well, I can guess that.”

Oho, this lady.

Prim glanced at Mary. She was about to let her know, but her heart felt it wasn’t important. Hence, Mary’s sparkling eyes shook Prim’s heart.

“I can’t help it if you say so.”

Pretending to vogue, she clears her throat.

Frankly speaking, even Prim’s love affair was a whole chaos and a disaster.

But at least as a writer of romance novels, she knew what tickled a woman’s heart. In other words, she is a love expert.

“— I never tell anyone about this..”

Prim whispered to her ears like an old woman who gossips 24/7. But the moment she looked at Mary, the lady turned pale all of sudden.

Gosh, we got caught!
