Chapter 189: Chapter 189 - Despite Being an Adult
Mark arrived in the middle of the next week . It was spring, but he had wintery hair and eyes . He’s a winter noble who is also popular with the Albans maids .
“Mark!”
“Ith’sh Marw . ”
“It’s Mark?”
Mark hadn’t come to class since he took us to the barrier room and got scolded even though he was supposed to be our teacher like Nii-sama .
Still, we watched Mark excitingly as he walked over to us, as we expected that he would do something fun .
“Prince Nicholas, Lei, and Christine . ”
“You can call me Chris . ”
“Then, Chris . It’s a nice day today, so why don’t you three go to the West Botanical Garden?”
West Botanical Garden . How alluring it sounded . We were delighted .
“Mark-sama, be careful,” the Prince’s guards looked reluctantly at Mark and called for his attention . That’s true . Mark took me and Nico to the barrier room without permission recently and the guards were also scolded a lot because of that .
However, I think his guards should be scolded . After all, they did nothing good during the northern inspection .
“By the way, Your Highness and Lei, aren’t you going to give me any souvenirs? I heard that Chris and Felicia got some . ”
Where did he hear that from? I couldn’t give Felicia stones and a handmade bookmark, so Nii-sama should have prepared something for her since it was from the Albans House . I thought that the Molesey House would receive something as well .
“Hm, uncle prepared a souvenir for you Mark . ” Nico looked up at Mark as if he hadn’t gotten it .
“I got it . Of course, I got some from Luke and Gill too . But you know…” Mark is around 20, but he was pouting and looked unhappy .
“His Highness and Lei are both my friends . I thought it would have been nice if you gave me something since I had to stay at the royal capital . ”
“You’re not our friend, aren’t you our teacher?”
“Oh, Your Highness, why did you say that? I’m your teacher, but I’m also your friend . ”
“Hmm . I’m not sure about that . ”
I felt troubled even if Nico looked at me . I sighed a little and fumbled in my poncho pocket .
“Ai . Shouvenir . ”
“I knew you got me something Lei! You knew what I was talking about . But what is this?”
“Rocw . ”
It was a black rock from the northern fief that I happen to leave at the back of my poncho pocket . The maids would normally empty out my pockets, but they turned a blind eye to this since I usually kept snacks and other stuff in my pockets .
“I know it’s a rock . ”
Mark was puzzled . He had heard that Chris had received souvenirs, but he didn’t know what kind of souvenirs .
“That’s…” Nico briefly explained for me, “It’s a cave rock that Lei picked up when she fell into a hole . ”
“Thath’sh righth!”
Nico is amazing .
“It’s a special rock in the hilly parts of the north . She only showed it to me . You’re so lucky Mark . ”

I only had two black rocks, so I only showed them to Chris .
“Thwo . I onwy had thwo . ”
“He, heh . It’s unusual . Thanks . ”
Mark tossed the rock and caught it, then he carefully tucked it into his pocket .
“I heard that Felicia has been joining in on your classes . It’s boring that I’m the only one who seems to be left out of the loop . ”
“You’re older than us, and you’re already channelling your magic into the magic stones for the barrier . ” Nico was shocked .
“That’s true, but Felicia is practicing on them now as well, and Gill will be starting next year . ”
“Giww twoo?”
“He’s only younger than Felicia by a year . ”
Oh yeah, Gill is almost an adult .
“I’m the oldest and Luke is the youngest, so Felicia and Gill are in the middle, but they’re closer to Luke . And you two younger sisters are close to each other as well . I’m the only one out of place, it’s not fun at all . ”
“Aren’t you friends with father?”
“With Prince Lambert? I’ve never thought of it that way before . Al and I are friends though . ”
By the way, Nico, who is talking to Mark as an equal, is three years old; I am two and Chris is five . I was shocked at what they were talking about .
“But why is Felicia attending your classes?”

“That’s…” Nico glanced at Chris and I . He was probably wondering what he should say .
“It’s a secret . ”
“Secreth . ”
There was no need to worry about it . We’ve already decided to keep it a secret .
“It’s a secret from me as well? Even though I’m also a child of the Four Marquises?”
“It’s a secret between the children, Mark . ”
Nico looked at Mark as if saying he was an adult . He’s a really hopeless adult .
“Ashw Nii-shama and Fewicia . ” (Ask Nii-sama and Felicia)
“Yes, you should ask Nee-sama directly . ”
“Tsk . ”
What’s with that tsk? The guards were also standing surprised at the back . One couldn’t hold back his laughter .
The West Botanical Garden had a greenhouse with a few flowers from Wester and lots of fruits and vegetables .
“Wathermewon! I athe ith in Weshther . ”
“I’ve also had them before, but aren’t they summer fruits?”
Since it was a greenhouse, precious things grew it in .

“I thought that the West Botanical Garden would be better for you than the one in the south since there’s a lot of food here and you’re gluttonies . This is where they grow food used in the castle . These foods go into your mouth, Your Highness and they’re also served in the dining hall . ”
We were certainly learning about the world with this .
The watermelon was too expensive to eat, but we were allowed to eat freshly picked tomatoes and the like, and then Mark’s class was over .
“Let’s meet again,” Mark briskly left, and his evaluation went up .
“Bye!”
“Bye!”
“See you later . ”
We waved our hands, and a few days later, we were gaping .
“Yo . ”
I saw a happy Mark and a dejected Nii-sama, Gill and Felicia .
“I’ve decided to take Luke’s class with you . ”
What the heck are you doing? You’re already an adult and doing your job as a member of the Four Marquis .
“Now, let’s see you shake your magic . ”
He must have come here to play, not study .
