The space of the castle was even more spacious than I had imagined.When we pushed open the heavy doors and entered the castle's grand hall, I couldn't help but cover my mouth. because the furnishings inside are so opulent.Various precious oil paintings, porcelain, ancient artifacts, and suits of armor were everywhere. The crystal chandelier hanging from the ceiling was the largest I had ever seen. Not to mention the sculptures and coral crystals covered in white cloth.It was like a museum curated by a seasoned collector!"My father enjoyed collecting these ancient items from all over the world," Louis explained as we walked, a hint of nostalgia in his expression, "Some were gifts from other packs, while others he acquired at auctions. Of course, most of the treasures here were left by our ancestors.""I left this castle when I was sixteen because my father passed away," he continued, "According to royal protocol, both Liam and I had to leave until one of us was ready to inherit the

Mr. Teacher?I had never imagined that one day I would address Prince Louis in this manner. My face turned red instantly, and I finally understood why he had been emphasizing that he was fully capable of being a home tutor.He had planned this!But by the time I realized it, Louis was already in the car leaving the castle. He needed to deal with an unexpected event within the company. He promised to solve it as soon as possible and come back for lunch.So, I could only sulk and watch the departing vehicle.On the first day of moving in, the castle's servants were busy packing and cleaning. Not being accustomed to idleness, I proactively asked Alfred, "Is there anything I can help with?""No need, Claire," Alfred tactfully suggested, "You can take a stroll around the surroundings or explore the castle. We'll take care of these tasks.""But…"I attempted to negotiate, but I failed in the end. Alfred had his own convictions about this. He firmly believed that these were responsibilities

Claire's POVSunlight streamed in through the window as I rolled over, yawning groggily and reaching out towards the empty space beside me."Morning, Lou—"My voice trailed off abruptly as I realized the bed was empty. Sitting up, I scanned the room but found no sign of Louis.Where could he be?Just as I pondered, a knock sounded at my door."Awake, Claire?" Alfred's voice came through.I quickly straightened my pajamas and replied, "Yes, come in.""Were you wondering about Prince Louis's whereabouts?"Alfred smiled faintly, already directing the servants to bring in breakfast as he answered my unspoken question."The prince left early for work. He didn't want to disturb your rest, so he instructed me to wait until you woke up to deliver the news along with your breakfast.""Oh." I nodded, somewhat taken aback by the news. "Does he have any other messages for me?""Yes, Claire. Prince Louis mentioned that a family tutor would be arriving today.""Really? When?""Around ten in the mor

Claire's POVThe sudden turn of events not only shocked me, but even Evans wore a look of astonishment on his face. But just a second later, Evans' expression turned cold, and his gaze toward me became even more intense and menacing. "You...""She already told you, get out of the castle," Hawk interrupted, suddenly brandishing a sharp dagger against Evans' neck from seemingly nowhere."Your Highness actually assigned you to Claire," Evans remarked, surprised at Hawk's intervention."I'm not an object," Hawk replied expressionlessly, but the grip on the dagger tightened instinctively. "I'm giving you five seconds. After that, I'll personally carry your body out of this castle.""Fine," Evans responded, fully aware of Hawk's reputation and determination.After Hawk released him, Evans picked up his fallen hat from the ground, then turned to bow in my direction. "Well then, our lesson ends here for today. See you next time, Claire." Evans spoke as if taunting me.But before I could retal

Claire's POVAnd so, disregarding the presence of the servants in the castle, Louis carried me all the way to the bedroom. Upon entering the bedroom, Louis tossed me onto the soft king-sized bed.Soon, the rustling sound of clothing could be heard by the bedside."Hey, Louis, I think we need to talk, you—"Louis's voice came from the wardrobe, "Let me finish the most important thing first, Claire.""What's the most important thing?"Blushing, I sat up from the comfortable bed, ignoring the soreness in my body.At that moment, Louis emerged from the wardrobe with a first aid kit in hand, and our eyes met."Of course, it's to take care of your wounds, Claire."Louis raised the first aid kit in his hand, his lips curving into a meaningful smile. "What else did you think it was, hmm?""I, I..."Feeling embarrassed, I averted my gaze from Louis's and said, "How could I guess what you were thinking, my dear Prince Louis?!""My lovely little kitten is angry."Louis sat down beside me with a
