Then surprisingly, it was quickly decided that Chris would come to the castle as the Prince’s study partner .
However, she will only come on days when Felicia has to come to the castle . Felicia isn’t exactly involved in political affairs yet . Angelique has only just begun to teach her about this . Moreover, she was still in her last year of the academy, so she had a lot of things to do before her graduation in March .
Therefore, there are days when Felicia won’t come to the castle, and on those days, Chris won’t come either .
In that case, I thought it would be fine for the head of the Remington House to bring her along like Otou-sama does with me, but she won’t bring Chris for inexpressible reasons like it’s a pain to commute back and forth and she’ll get in the way at lunch .
So, I thought for a moment that we could stay together at lunchtime like in kindergarten or a nursery school, but both Nico and I both look forward to having lunch with our families, and we should treat this time preciously .
Then, Felicia was excited that she could come to teach us etiquette once a week even though she was busy, but a different person arrived at the beginning of the week .
Nico and I both had our mouths agape .
“Let’s throw candy at them . ”
“Marcus-dono, candies are dangerous for babies,” Odds-sensei calmly pointed this out, and I closed my open mouth .
“Marw-niisya… Marw . ”
“Your name is Lei, right? You could have just called me Mark-niisama . ”
I was a little troubled since Nii-sama would make a big fuss if he found out .
“I’m sure Luke told you that he’s your only Nii-sama . ” Mark raised the corner of his mouth, weirdly .

“Marcus-dono,” Nico recovered from his surprise and greeted Mark properly .
“Your Highness Nicolas . I haven’t seen you since Lei’s debut . ”
“I thought Felicia would be coming today . ”
“Lei thoo . ”
I was curious about what it was like to study etiquette . Come to think of it, Chris isn’t here today, so Felicia wouldn’t be at the castle either .
“Ah, Felicia’s coming too, but I’ll also be coming every week . Didn’t you hear about this?”
Nope . Nico and I looked at Odds-sensei .
“I did hear about this, but I didn’t know when you’ll be coming or what you’ll be teaching, so I thought I would tell them once everything’s decided,” Odds-sensei said helplessly . He probably came on a whim since it was only talked about and it wasn’t official .
What a troublesome person .
But, he’s welcome to come .
“Whath, ah, what are you theaching?”
I jumped up and down .
“Lei, calm down . I’m sure it’ll be something interesting . ”
Nico put pressure on me while trying to calm me down . I think I did it unconsciously though…
“Oh my, expectations are heavy . Why do you think I came in the morning?”

Now that I think about it, Nii-sama comes after lunch, and it’s annoying how I fall asleep after eating . Our expectations swelled up even more when we heard the word ‘morning’ .
Unlike Nico and I who were happy, Mark looked a little trouble, and he looked at Odds-sensei who had a complicated expression on his face .
“Don’t worry . I got permission from His Highness Lambert . I got it some time ago, but I thought I should come here quickly . ”
“But, you have to study, and I don’t think it’s safe . ”
“I have my guards with me, and this is inside of the castle . ”
That was when Odds-sensei backed down . Mark looked towards us and smiled playfully .
“Today, I’ll take you around the castle . ”
We opened our mouths wide again . A tour of the castle? Oh yeah, I always go straight to Nico, so I only saw the long corridor once . Nico’s eyes were sparkling too .
“Let’s go!”
“Go!
This is a trip .
“Nathawie . ”
“Lei-sama, that’s good . ”
“Are thhere shweethsh?”
“Sweets? Ah, I brought some with me just in case, but are these alright?”

Natalie rummaged in her bag and took out a small package . This smell is my favourite sponge cake . I glanced at Nico .
“Of course, I have more . ”
“Thanwsh Nathawie . ”
I was relieved and put the small package into my pocket . I’m glad that she has some for Nico too . The stuffed rug dragon that I carry around with me as a lucky charm is currently next to my pillow and accompanies me to sleep . That was why I put the sponge cake into a different pocket .
“Ai . Leth’sh go . ”
“Lei, you…”
“W-well, it’s fine . Don’t tell me…”
The corner of Mark’s mouth raised .
“We don’t need a maid or Odds-sensei . We just need guards . ”
If someone from the Four Marquises says so, then they have no choice but to obey . Odds-sensei and Natalie reluctantly obeyed him . I had a guard with me, and so did Nico . Of course, it’s Hans .
“It’s a bit far, but do your best . ”
We went down to the first floor from the library and entered the corridor leading to the castle . The corridor was different from the one I had used when I first came to the castle . When we entered the castle, there was a wide passage and a curve . There were beautiful paintings on the wall, but I was interested in the intricate patterns on the wall, so I looked around restlessly while walking; then Mark picked me up .
“We’ll be walking around the castle once a week from now on, so we’ll rush this time . ”
“We’re exploring every week?”
Nico’s eyes are sparkling .
“Yeah . There’s nothing wrong with knowing the castle where you live . You can study at the academy, so I don’t get why they make a two and three-year-old study every day . ”
I recalled Mark’s Otou-sama . He was a kind Oji-sama who told me to call him Har-ojisama, but he looked stern and seemed like he would be strict with home discipline, so it felt strange for Mark to say something like that .
“Marw, did you shthudy when you were withthwe?” (Mark, did you study when you were little?)
“Well, just a bit . But it was really just a bit, and all I did was play in the garden until I turned five . ”
“You wiwe running . ”
I nodded meekly .
“You don’t do it, Lei?”
“I do!”
It’s unconvincing when I’m held . We continued right through numerous complex passages, and I gradually lost track of where we were .
“It’s surprisingly far . ”
“Because the castle is big . ” Mark said carefreely, then, “Ah, we’re here,” he said before trying to open the door .
“Marcus-dono,” however, Hans quietly interrupted him . Marcus ignored him and touched the doorknob . However, Hans stopped him in a powerful voice, “Marcus-dono!”
“What?”
“Where are you taking Lei-sama?”
Oh my, he didn’t mention Nico .
