I Became the Tutor of the Royal Twins

r was the stillness in his gaze that was shining in the dark.

‘Maybe it’s because of Duke Cross who was here just now? At the birthday party last time, too… they looked so good together when I saw how their arms were linked.’

If the matter that His Majesty was brooding over so much was regarding Saruvia, then admittedly, Sera was very… only a little envious of her.

However, besides that, she couldn’t take her eyes off Helios because it’s true that she was worried about him.

By the time they had reached the carriage that would take her home, Sera thanked Helios with a quiet voice.

“Thank you once again for walking me here, Your Majesty.”

A gentle smile flashed across Helios’ lips.
Right then, Jean, who was walking behind them some ways away before, walked forward and loaded the wagon with her bag.
Just as Sera was about to go into the carriage, Helios stopped her.

“Miss Popo.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

Sera answered as she halted in place.

“Shall we take a stroll together?”

Even as Helios himself said that, he was surprised by his own words.
He covered half of his face with one hand and let out a short sigh.
What was he doing.
He told her that she could go home early today and even walked her to the carriage.
Now, he was holding her back and making her stay longer.

It was an unintended mistake.
He had a headache all day long because he was agonizing over the imperial marriage.

He was about to rescind his words and tell her no, it’s better for her to go back early.
But then, he heard Sera’s answer.

“Of course.”

“Is it alright with you? I already said that I’ll let you leave work early…”

“I’m fine with it.
I also feel like taking a walk since the weather is nice.”

Sera gladly replied, thinking that he might need someone to comfort him and share his melancholy feelings.

In a situation like this, Jean was the only one at a loss.
As he was standing awkwardly there in front of the carriage, his eyes fully expressed his confusion as he thought, ‘What’s going on?’

He took a walk earlier with Duke Cross, then he walked all the way here to escort Sera, then he wanted to go on another stroll? Jean was at a loss for words watching Helios’ behavior.
In hot weather like this, the accumulated time he had walked was about two hours total.

It’s not as if Helios had better stamina than a knight.
What was he thinking about all day long? Jean suddenly thought that Helios’ legs might have been made out of steel.

Frowning unconsciously, Jean shook his own legs because it felt like they were about to fall off.
On a hot summer day like this, no matter how thin this armor was, walking around in it was more difficult than marching.

And yet here Miss Sera and Helios were, with apparently more to say between them.
Once again, Jean trudged behind the man and woman who walked back through the path they had come from.

It’s just a feeling, but it seemed like he was just looking for an excuse to talk more with Miss Sera.
It was natural to think this way because he kept using the twin highnesses as an excuse to see Sera off every time.
