"It's okay, just pretend that you haven't cleaned up yet." Orson said this, and took Lit to his room.
This was also the first room Lit entered since returning home.
Then, he opened the door and led Lit in.
"You can rest in the room for a while now. No one will disturb you. Don't be tense. Just relax a little."
Then he took Lit and took him to sit by his bed.
"If you are tired, lie on the bed and rest for a while, or sit on a chair and read a book." Orson said this, pointing to the bookshelf. "You can read the books on it. If you don't understand something, I can explain it to you when I come back."
"Thank you, brother Orson." Lit nodded and sat obediently by the bed.
"That's right." Orson seemed to remember something, and then said: "You and I should be born on the same day. You don't have to call me Brother Orson. Just call me Orson in private. This way we can be closer."
"I know, Brother Orson..." Litt nodded, but just as he opened his mouth, he found that he habitually added the word brother, so he quickly changed his words: "O... Orson..."
"Well, that's right." Orson nodded, and then gently patted Litt's head. "I still have something to do. The banquet is not over yet. I have to go to socialize."
As if to resonate with Litt and close the distance between the two, Orson shook his hand impatiently and said: "Ah, it's really troublesome. Obviously, the banquet is for everyone to get together to eat and have fun. There are always some people who like to intrigue at the banquet."
"To be honest, I really hate the atmosphere of this banquet."
Hearing Orson's words, Litt was a little moved.
It turns out that he is not the only one who doesn't like this banquet?
"Okay, okay, you take a rest first, I'm leaving." After saying that, Orson waved to Lit, and then opened the door again and walked out.
"Master Orson, I just asked, Master Lit's room has not been arranged yet." At the door, Vivian saw Orson coming out and whispered to him.
"What's going on?" Orson frowned. "Didn't you know about Lit's return a few days ago? It takes so long to tidy up a room?"
"Sorry, Master, I don't know what's going on." Vivian said this and lowered her head.
Realizing that he had just spoken with some emotion, Orson also took a step back.
"It's okay, it's not your responsibility, but my tone was a bit aggressive." His tone was a little apologetic. "Anyway, I will ask my father and mother about this matter later, you stay here to watch over Lit first."
"What's wrong with Master Lit?" Vivian said with some worry.
"He's fine, just a little tired. You just stay at the door. If he has any problems while I'm away, help him." Orson said. "Leet is still a little shy. If you have nothing to do, don't go into the house and disturb him."
"Okay." Vivian nodded, and then chuckled. "It seems that Master Orson cares more about Master Leet than Master Lucius."
"Haha, after all, he has suffered for so long..."
...
On the other side, Leet sat in the room, thinking about Orson's words, and her face flushed.
She was indeed a little tired after the bumpy ride today.
Can I really just lie on Brother Orson's bed like this?
Thinking so, Leet untied the laces of his boots, and then took them off by the bed, and lay down on the bed.
This big bed is extremely soft and comfortable, and it is simply a world apart from the hardwood beds in the countryside.
Lying on this bed, Leet only felt that his waist was about to sink.
Then, she gently grabbed the quilt and covered herself with it.
Her petite body shrunk into the quilt, letting the sheet cover her completely.
For some reason, Lit always felt that there was a pleasant smell in the quilt, a smell she had also smelled on her brother Orson.
She couldn't help but pull the quilt to her nose and sniff it carefully.
It was a refreshing fragrance, and just smelling it made people feel at ease and comfortable.
Then, as if realizing that his behavior had crossed the line, Lit put down the quilt with a red face and lay on the bed to rest.
The fatigue of the day was relieved at this moment, and Lit slowly closed his eyes...
Chapter 7: You come to be his teacher
The banquet lasted for another two hours, and the nobles left the Duke's mansion slightly drunk.
Orson's servants were cleaning the restaurant, and suddenly, his shoulder was patted.
"Orson, come to the study with me, I have something to talk to you alone." Lucius said this and walked upstairs.
...
Lucius was sitting in the study, with Orson standing respectfully at the desk in front of him.
"Orson, how old are you this year?" Lucius asked casually while flipping through the book.
"Father, I'm eighteen years old this year."
"Eighteen, eighteen, what a good age..." Lucius sighed. "Eighteen years have passed without me noticing."
"I wonder why father called me here this time?" Orson bowed slightly and asked with some doubt.
"Orson, what do you think of Lit?" Lucius said.
"Now there are only you and me here, there is no need to hide anything, just speak frankly."
"..." Orson thought about it for a while, and then said: "Returning to my father, in my opinion, Lite is a good boy. At least, he is kind and can considerate and take care of other people's emotions."
"Good boy." Lucius couldn't help but smile when he heard Orson's comment. "You talk about having good children and so on, as if you are a generation older than Lit, but in fact you two are the same age."
"I'm asking, do you think Li Te has the ability to inherit my position?" Lucius then changed the subject and stared at Orson with a burning gaze.
"Yes." Orson said without hesitation. "Li Teuk definitely has the ability to inherit his father's business."
On this point, Orson is convinced. After all, the halo of the protagonist is there. In the original work, Leeteuk did manage the territory in an orderly manner after inheriting the position of Duke.
"Oh?" Lucius was a little surprised when he heard Orson's answer without thinking.
He could guess that Orson would reply like this, but he didn't expect that Orson would say it out so quickly, as if he was very sure of Li Te's ability.
"Can you tell me why? Lite's performance today was not satisfactory, and you know this."
"In that case, I said so." Orson smiled, and then continued: "Even if the young phoenix falls into the flock of chickens, its inherent qualities will not change."
"Li Te has lived in the countryside all year round and his education is very backward. In this case, what do you think his mentality will be like when he first joins the family? Most people will definitely have the mentality of a nouveau riche who wants to get rich overnight, right? , but Leeteuk is not, he still remains calm and calm enough.”
"Furthermore, I think I'm pretty good at judging people. Although Li Teuk doesn't know anything now, in time, his achievements will definitely be higher than mine."
"Is he taller than you..." Lucius listened to Orson's words and fell into deep thought.
His unrelated son is already recognized as the strongest person in the younger generation of the empire. Under such circumstances, he actually boasts that Li Te will be even more powerful than him in the future?
Lucius felt a little unbelievable.
"Orson, do you mean what you say?"
"I have no reason to lie to my father."
"Okay." Lucius nodded.
Since Orson, who has no blood relationship with Li Teuk and even competes with Li Teuk, values him so much, as a father, he naturally cannot treat Li Teuk badly.
The top priority should be to find a good teacher for Li Teuk.
"In that case, Orson, I'm going to find a teacher for Li Te, who will be responsible for instructing him on the etiquette, culture, combat and magic of the nobility. Do you have anyone you can recommend?" Lucius looked at Orson with a trace in his eyes. smile.
"A teacher?" Orson was stunned and began to search his memory to see if there was such a person in the world.
The conclusion drawn is none.
In the original work, Li Teuk's growth can be summarized in four words.
Self-taught.
As long as Li Te is provided with relevant resources, Li Te's monster-like talent can increase his learning speed to several, dozens or even hundreds of times that of ordinary people.
Then Orson shook his head.
"Sorry, father, if there is only one teacher, I can't find such an all-rounder."
"Really?" Lucius smiled, "Haha, the all-rounder you talk about is right in front of me now."
"Ah?" Orson was stunned, "What does father mean?"
"Since you value Leeteuk so much and know Leeteuk so well, I feel that only by teaching Leeteuk yourself can you guide him to the right path."
"In addition, you and he are brothers, close in age, and we were so close on the first day. The teacher who is most suitable to teach him and the easiest for him to accept is you, isn't it?"
Orson was stunned when he heard Lucius's words.
Then I remembered.
In the original work, Orson was not so close to Leeteuk on the first day, so Lucius arranged another teacher for Leeteuk.
That teacher was a well-known professor in the neighborhood and had always been known for his fairness and justice. Therefore, under the influence of that person, Li Teuk's character gradually changed from weak to strong.
Later, the teacher was fired because he offended Orson, and the new teacher was replaced by someone recommended by Mary.
Even though Leeteuk studied harder, the new teacher kept making small reports in front of Lucius, deceiving Lucius and saying that Leeteuk was playful and delayed his studies.
Did you change the direction of the plot?
The more troubled Leeteuk's life is, the deeper his hatred towards his family and himself will be, and the easier it will be for him to be killed by Leeteuk who awakens the aura of the protagonist.
Moreover, there is really no one more suitable to train Li Teuk than himself who knows the plot direction.
Hum, a drop of kindness will be repaid by a spring. I must always instill this concept in Liteuk when I teach him in the future.
Thinking this, Orson nodded.
"I understand, Father, I will teach Liteuk to the best of my ability."
"Well, I feel much more at ease with your words." Lucius said, stood up from the chair and patted Orson on the shoulder.
His palms were firm and powerful, and he patted Orson's shoulder, giving the latter a sense of responsibility as having been entrusted with a heavy responsibility.
Lucius and Orson looked at each other, and after a few seconds, Lucius nodded with satisfaction.
"Okay, you go and rest. You are tired from today. From tomorrow onwards, you can start teaching Li Te and try to make him pass the test before he enrolls in Imperial College."
"Okay." Orson nodded.
When he reached the door, Orson suddenly remembered something and turned to look at Lucius.
"By the way, father, when I sent Lit back today, the servant said that Lit's room had not been cleaned yet. What's going on? Didn't you know that Lit was coming back a long time ago?"
"Is that the case?" Lucius frowned when he heard it. "I asked your mother to take care of this matter. Maybe she forgot. Where is Lit now?"
"I asked him to rest in my room first."
"Okay, I'll ask Mary later. You go back first." Lucius nodded.
"Yeah." Orson nodded, then opened the door and walked out.
Chapter 8: Young Stepmother
The Imperial College, as the name suggests, is an official college established by the Empire.
The Empire's education system is divided into two categories, one is school and the other is college.
Generally speaking, before a person reaches adulthood, he will go to schools in various places to learn basic subjects, and after adulthood, those who have the conditions will go to colleges for further studies.
Colleges will teach students various skills. Of course, the compulsory subject of the college is naturally combat.
Unlike schools that are popularized in towns, almost every city cluster has only one college.
The reason is simple. In order to stipulate the teaching quality of colleges, the empire has set a very high entry threshold for colleges, resulting in many existing colleges being borne by local finances, and the annual income is not enough to make ends meet, almost a money-burning machine.
Take Lucius for example. As one of the six dukes of the empire, he controls only two colleges in the Antica Duchy, and the scale and teaching quality of the colleges are far inferior to those of the Imperial College.
The reason why the lords can open colleges is that the main function of the college is to cultivate talents.
Yes, the empire
is not as peaceful as most people think.
Thousands of years ago, in order to reward a group of founding heroes who followed him, the founding emperor of the empire established a three-level administrative system of earls, dukes, and emperors.
