Chapter 73: Abner’s Doubts

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Lorne’s eyes lit up when he heard that. He was still very interested in doing this master student thing.

To be honest, it was indeed a little boring to stay in the tavern every day. Therefore, he would occasionally cook two new dishes for himself and create some new things every day to enrich his life. Only when he met Kyle and the others in his tavern was he able to enrich his life.

After all, it was all fun and games to occasionally act cool and talk big, but overall, his life was still a little boring.

Now that his old friend said that he would let his son come over, would he be able to fully experience the joy of being a teacher?

He did not know whether other people would be happy as teachers, but Lorne felt that he would definitely be very happy.

If he had nothing to do, he would ask his old friend’s son to do some chores, and then he would cross his legs at the counter to be the boss. That would be the life, right?

Thinking of this, Lorne immediately said to Kyle with a sincere expression, “Old friend, you have to bring him over. Hurry up and send that kid of yours over.

“I can’t wait to teach and educate people. I have a strong sense of passion for teaching others now. It’s simply a heavy responsibility on my shoulders that I must share.

“Next time you bring him here, you can entrust him to me. I will definitely teach him everything. Everything I know will be handed over to him.

“In a short time, you will be able to gain a good son who is knowledgeable, intellectual, well-versed in the principles of the world, and has unparalleled insight in many things!”

Looking at Lorne’s confident and smug appearance, Kyle did not know why, but he felt that something was not right.

It seemed that there was something not quite right.

Did he just get scammed into giving his son away to another scammer?

However, he did not care about that. In any case, there was definitely nothing wrong with sending him to the finest scammer he knows and trust!

Therefore, Kyle nodded at Lorne and said emotionally, “Lorne, I am relieved with your assurances. After dealing with some matters, I will call my son over.

“When the time comes, I’ll let him learn more from you. In the future, I’ll have him to inherit my entire family business.”

Lorne patted his chest even more and said with confidence, “Old friend, don’t worry. Don’t you know who I am?

“I do have a lot of good qualities, but the most important thing is that I’m honest. I’ll do whatever I say.

“I promised that I’ll teach your son everything I know, and I won’t lie to you. As long as he receives my guidance, I guarantee that your son will be better than you in the way of earning money in business!”

Kyle nodded quickly. His face showed a satisfied smile.

Kyle’s son was not a businessman at all, but the current First Prince.

However, the way of running a country and the way of doing business had some similarities. At the very least, he could learn a lot from Lorne in terms of his social conduct and ability to govern things.

Therefore, Kyle felt more assured knowing it was Lorne teaching him. He would send his son here to learn valuable things, and when he gives the official position to his son in the future, he would be able to better run the country.

After Kyle and Lorne made an agreement, Kyle cupped his hands to him.

“Then it’s settled, Lorne. See you next time!”

As he said that, he greeted Abner together and then left the tavern’s door. After the two of them left, Lorne began to pack while humming a tune.

He was still thinking happily in his heart about how he should act like a teacher when he meets his old friend’s son.

…

After Kyle and Abner boarded the carriage, they were also thinking about the same thing.

After walking for a short distance, Abner could not help but ask first, “Your Majesty, does the First Prince know that you have found a teacher for him?”

Kyle shook his head.

“I did not have the time to tell him. After dealing with the Spartan Kingdom, I shall specially call him over and bring him here to be introduced to his teacher.”

Abner thought of Lorne’s sparkful personality and playful behavior, and could not help but start imagining crazy things.

He thought of how the First Prince, Weiss, would be teased by Lorne, losing his dignity as the First Prince, and then going home to complain to Kyle in a wronged manner.

For a moment, Abner could not help but be at a loss of words. He could not take it anymore. He shuddered at the thought that quickly passed his mind and and cleared out the image out of his head, afraid that he would laugh in front of the king.

He even had to hold back his laughter to put on a solemn face.

A worried look appeared on Abner’s face as he asked, “Your Makesty, with Lorne’s talkative personality, isn’t it a little inappropriate for him to teach the First Prince?”

Kyle shook his head and explained to Abner, “Even if you don’t know Lorne very well, I do.

“His personality is indeed a little lively. He likes to joke around and do happy things.

“But he was absolutely right about that thing he talked about just now. That is, he is an honest person deep down in his bones, and he never goes back on his word.

“He said that he would teach Weiss, so he definitely won’t go back on his word. After all, this is a promise between him and me.

“Look, every time we went to him for help, although he said that he despises us, he always explains the problem clearly and analyzes it clearly for us to see.

“Such a young man who dares to do such thing would be the best candidate to teach Weiss.

“It’s just that their ages are not too far apart. I’m sure the teachers who teach etiquette and ethics are older, and Weiss listens to them well. However, it might not be the same for him and Lorne after Weiss realizes how young Lorne is too.”

Abner was silent for a moment before he nodded.

“Your Majesty is right. I’ve only met Lorne three times, but these three times, I’m truly convinced of his capabilities. He’s also a very good person. He’s a person worthy of being entrusted with the First Prince’s education.”

Kyle changed to a comfortable position and leaned against the side of the carriage. Then, he raised his head to look at the sky.

“Yes, it’s rare to have such an amazing talent. He knows everything, covering all kinds of things.

“The way of governance, the culture and livelihood of people, the business studies, the use of military force on the battlefield, the analysis of the overall situation, and his unique vision…

“I only hope that Weiss can learn a thing or two from him. If he does, it will also benefit the governance of the country and the people. It will be of great benefit for everyone in the future as well.

“If he can learn more than that, I’m sure that he would be able to catch up to his father. This way, I can rest assured when I hand over the Lolan Empire to him in the future.”

Abner could not help but nod agreeingly to Kyle.

“Your Majesty is concerned about the First Prince. If the First Prince knows your painstaking efforts, he will definitely study diligently and learn more practical things from Lorne!”
