The Reason I Keep Avoiding My Childhood Friend

“Did you make her study separately? I think she’s smart enough as a child.”

No matter how he looked at it, it was hard to see it as the words of a 7-year-old child. From the time she first brought out the compensation for psychological damage, he thought it was unusual. However, not only the words she uses, but also the way she makes the perfect way out and acts when she does something, it was very smart.

“She has been studying with a tutor for several years.”

“You give her education so early? You are more greedy for your children than you seem.”

Of course, Kirsec also took classes. But since Kirsec must inherit the principality in the future, isn’t it obligatory? If he had been the head of an ordinary family, he would not have let his young children study. Hertman, who thought he only knew about the Knights, looked different.

“No. My daughter said that she wants to study on her own. She asked me to find a tutor.”

Hertman wasn’t one to lie about this. That said, that means the child wanted to study first. The child to step out and study? Usually children like to play, don’t they? It makes him wonder what the child’s head is made of.

“That’s great, that’s great. I can’t wait to see how your daughter will grow up. By the way, did she say she wanted to be a civil servant?”

“She does.”

“The future of the Duchy is bright. I don’t know about your daughter, but looking at my son’s reaction, I think he’s interested in your daughter…”

Hertman’s expression hardened in an instant at the Grand Duke’s words. Reading the negative look, the Grand Duke swallowed a sigh. Hertman is a person who can’t really hide his insides.

“Is that so?”

There is no room in the voice asking the question. The Grand Duke knows how ruthless and arrogant Hertman is when he rolls his knights. Hertman is certain in what he likes and dislikes.

“Did you not feel it? Kirsec blushes and giggles at your daughter’s words. You saw it too, right?”

Hertman’s determination, saying, “I know nothing,” made the Grand Duke feel he needed assistance. And the quick-witted aides agreed.

“Yes, that’s right. It was like a boy who fell in love.”

Roel caught a glimpse at the emotions clearly revealed in the expression on the Grand Prince’s face earlier. He was still young and didn’t know how to hide his feelings, so he was overflowing with fresh emotions. The look of a restless little boy who didn’t care. He was even cute.

“Would a boy in love deserve to be slapped in the face?”

However, the Grand Duke had to keep his mouth shut at Hertman’s word. Seeing the Grand Duke’s expression hardened, Byrne quickly stepped forward.

“Haha, at a young age, he couldn’t express himself properly, which could cause misunderstandings. It seems that there is a misunderstanding between the two of them because they express their interest like a child.”

The aides’ support made Hertman even more displeased. All of a sudden, they act like they’re planning and gambling. They looked like a thief trying to steal someone else’s precious daughter.

Because there’s no one, he’s taking someone like the Grand Prince to be his daughter’s mate! Absolutely not. No matter how much he loved the Duchy, Hertman, who was loyal to the Grand Duke, couldn’t do so. His daughter was worth ten million times. Even if she meets a rich, handsome, devoted man, he was not sure if he should allow it because it’s a waste!

The Grand Duke he trusted in was a man with no conscience.

“It is still too early…..no it’s too far to discuss the marriage of my daughter yet.”

Hertman managed to squeeze his patience and come up with a plausible answer.

“Ah yes. I think it’s too early. What kind of marriage are you talking about to the kids? I’m just saying.”

Hertman was relieved only when the Grand Duke quietly withdrew. He was nervous inside, fearing that the Grand Duke might even arrange an arranged marriage with his daughter. He couldn’t accept it, so he wondered if he should apply for a duel.

Hertman was so serious that he would even consider naturalization to another country if it was not settled. It was a very, very, very, very, very serious waste for his daughter to be with the Grand Prince.

“By the way, we need to hire a new person. Everything from the butler who will take care of the Grand Duchy, the escort knight for Kirsec, and the new tutor.”

“Are you talking about the Grand Prince’s escort knight and tutor?”

Roel, who is in charge of manpower, asked. He wanted to ask if the Grand Duke really needed to do that.

Of course, it was not easy to find a tutor, even if they were looking for a new butler and swapping the escort knight for another. The top educators of the principality were attached to the Grand Prince already. Finding someone better than them was not easy.

“It should be. Have you ever heard that someone has a personality problem and was looking down on it? How about your daughter’s tutor?”

At the Grand Duke’s question, Hertman struggled to find something to say.

He said he was looking for a tutor at the office, and that’s why he came to be the current tutor. Hurtman was not well aware of his abilities, as he believed that the education a child needed was only in moderation.

“They’re not taking classes, I’m sure the answer is yes, but if your daughter has no complaints.”

“Let me introduce them.”

Hertman felt uncomfortable because it seemed that there was some kind of contact between his daughter and the Grand Duke.

“Yes. I will ask if they are willing to do something else.”

While checking Hertman’s sulky expression, the Grand Duke lightly threw it.

“And sometimes, bring your daughter to the Grand Duchy and have tea time with Kirsec.”
