I Became the Tutor of the Royal Twins

Eventually, their day didn’t start until noon.

Due to yesterday’s incident, Helios made the firm order that Sera must not be woken up, and it was thanks to this that Sera slept in leisurely.

Her condition seemed to be quite normal, but Helios was still worried and so he told Sera to rest for the entire day.

In addition to that, their schedule had been changed. They all had to stay indoors while the areas around the beach and the villa were being investigated thoroughly.

The twins also now looked at her with rather concerned gazes, different from their cheerfulness from this morning at dawn. They must have heard what happened last night.

“Sera, I’m sorry! I didn’t know that happened. We woke you up too early.”

“Seeera, Hyung said the doctor treated you! Are you okay now?”

Sera stroked the worried children’s heads.

“Of course. I’m a-okay.”

A lively voice answered back, but the twins were still worried just by the fact that she had been hurt. They hugged her arms tightly.

“Curses are scary. Right, Ferre?”

“Yeah. Curses and snakes are scary.”

With their eyes closed tightly, just imagining those two things made the children shudder.

“But His Majesty was there beside me. He saved me, and no matter what kind of villain comes, he’ll be there to defeat them all.”

She shot them a smile that said, ‘Don’t worry,’ coaxing them.

At this, Rosé and Ferre glanced towards Helios, who was sitting opposite them on a sofa, and wordlessly asked if he was going to deny this.

Watching them put both hands on their waists, he smiled and nodded firmly. Helios looked proud.

Then, Rosé approached Sera’s ear and whispered as if she was telling her a secret.

“But you know, Sera. Heli Oppa was very worried about you today, so he was just next to you the entire time.”

Did they plan this beforehand? On Sera’s other ear, Ferre’s ticklish breath blew.

“Yeah. Hyung said that something big happened to you yesterday, so we have to take good care of you. He said that you shouldn’t overdo it today.”

“I guess Oppa was worried a lot. By the way, Sera.”

There was a meaningful look in Rosé’s eyes as she grinned.

After a pause, Rosé once again whispered into her ear, like a little devil trying to lure her into a false illusion.

“I guess Oppa likes Sera, too?”

Oppa likes Sera, too?

Towards whom?

Sera?

Out of shock, Sera made eye contact with Helios as she dazedly mouthed Rosé’s words with her own lips.

His purple eyes, curved like crescent moons, were unapologetically gorgeous as he stared back at her.

“What are you talking about so secretively? You’re leaving me out.”

With a casual smirk, Helios rose from his seat. Then, coming closer with the same smile, he sat on the sofa and carried Ferre to sit him down on his lap.

“Um…”

She just hoped that he would never find out what they were talking about. Sera blinked, then her eyes went wide. She gulped dryly.

Did His Majesty really stay by her side the entire time? Was that why the book he’s still reading today was at her bedside table?

She wanted to ask many questions, but if she did so, she would eventually be found out.

She was caught between two things—the desire to continue hiding her feelings, and the desire to let him know.

It was like that yesterday on the beach as well. She was slowly feeling the limit of enduring her feelings.

It might sound like an excuse, but she thought that her feelings for Helios—which she considered a timebomb that could blow up any second now—was also to blame for her misunderstandings and expectations.

But of course, such impulses dissipated in the end.

“It’s nothing.”

As if what’s brewing within her was nothing at all, Sera nonchalantly joked.

“Was it truly not a big deal?”

Helios sent back a playful look through his curved eyes.

Perhaps thinking that something fun was going on, Rosé and Ferre climbed on Sera and Helios’s shoulders.

“That’s not what we said though, Sera?”

“Oppa took care of Sera all day, so Oppa must…!”

But Sera immediately and tightly hugged Rosé, who then struggled in Sera’s embrace.

She had to think fast on how she could get the children to forget about saying such nonsense—before her heart could get caught beating much too loudly.

And the very thing that could distract the children without fail was a fun game.

“All of that happened yesterday, so I’ve been thinking that today’s a good day to play our Divine Power Game, isn’t that right?”

Standing up from her seat, Sera spoke loudly with a firm voice.

The naïve children’s eyes opened wide.

“Wah! Divine Power Game!”

“Yay! What kind of game is that?”

Ferre and Rosé shouted out their hurrays. Thrilled that her trick worked, Sera had a smile on as she went, Bang! shooting Ferre with a finger gun.

“It’s…”

Ferre went, urk… acting as if his heart was in pain.

Watching with a soft look in his eyes, Helios shook his head and burst into a chuckle that sounded as warm as the afternoon sun.

‘It’s the Hospital Game, of course.’

As she was still carrying Rosé, Sera laid down the girl on the sofa.

Rosé’s green eyes sparkled with anticipation, excited to know what kind of game it’s going to be.

“Your Highness Rosé, may I know what ails you today?”

Now, what they didn’t know was this: As she alternated with Helios, this was just the start of the 200 repetitions they’d have to do today.

It was the Divine Power Game of Hell.
