I Became the Tutor of the Royal Twins

e loose, and her fringe was a little tangled over her forehead.

 

Helios didn’t know why, but he inadvertently wanted to reach out to touch her hair.
Just like last time, it was an unknown impulse.

 

“Your Majesty, this is something that I do a lot with Their Highnesses Rosé and Ferre, but…”

 

As if the sudden gust had given her an idea, Sera tucked a lock of her hair back behind her ear and rummaged through her small handbag.

 

“It’s something I do when they’re in a bit of a bad mood.
Can I borrow your hand for a moment?”

 

“Hand?”

 

Obediently, Helios reached out his hand just as she asked.

 

“The other way around, please.
Can you turn it over?”

 

As requested, Helios turned his hand, palm side up.
Sera’s closed fist then came over his own hand.
Sera gradually opened her hand, closer and closer to Helios’.

 

Helios froze in surprise, thinking for a moment that they were about to hold hands.
But it wasn’t her hand that touched his palm.

Small, square caramel candies fell on his palm.

 

“This is… caramel?”

 

Slightly flustered, Helios stared at the candy that he didn’t expect to receive.

 

“Sweet things tend to make people feel better.
This is the best I can offer you, I’m afraid.”

 

Sera blushed as though she was embarrassed by her own actions, thinking that she might have made a mistake.

 

Seeing the peach-like pink cheeks beneath the soft moonlight, Helios chuckled.

 

‘Ah, so it’s just the caramel.
I wouldn’t have expected it.
So this is how she comforts my siblings.’

 

He could imagine her crouching down to reach the twins’ eye level as they were sobbing, then she would soothe their tears by placing sweet caramel candy on their small hands.
As he imagined this scene naturally, a warm expression spread over Helios’ face.

 

He stared at the caramel squares in his hand.
The colorful star-pattern on the wrapper somehow seemed just like her.

 

“Now I understand what Rosé and Ferre feel.”

 

“How Their Highnesses feel?”

 

“The twins wouldn’t have had a choice but to follow you, Miss Popo.”

A dazzling smile appeared on Helios’ expression.
Sera’s heart practically dropped to the ground after seeing a bright smile that was much too beautiful.
To avoid looking at the thousand-watt brightness directly, Sera dropped her gaze and instead looked at the caramel squares in his hand.

 

“May I eat one now?”

 

“Yes, Your Majesty.
I gave those to you so you can eat it, after all.”

 

He took one caramel candy with his other hand and peeled off the wrapper using both hands.
There was nothing funny about it, but he soon let out a lighthearted chuckle.

 

Seeing that playful glint in his eyes, which she hadn’t seen in a while, Sera was rendered speechless.

 

“It’s melted.”

 

“Huh?”

 

Helios leaned closer towards the shocked Sera and showed the caramel that was stuck onto the wrapping.
Sera’s complexion turned pale in an instant.

 

“I’m sorry, Your Majesty! I didn’t mean to give it to you like that.
Maybe it melted because today’s weather was too hot.
Please don’t eat it.”

 

Looking down at Helios’ hand with a troubled face, Sera came closer and tried to take the caramel away from him as soon as possible.

 

But as if it was nothing, Helios smiled.
With the caramel candy still stuck on its wrapper, Helios lifted it up to his lips and bit it off with his teeth.
As he tore the wrapper from the candy in that way, it was strangely provocative.
