Yarin's POV:
Heller was reluctant to part with Aunt Carolyn, but since the Charlies Family also settled in the Lycan Pack, we wouldn't stop going ho. Before Aunt Carolyn left, we still had the chance to spend ti together.
"I'll introduce you to Lady Charlies, hoping she'll like you, so we can invite you to visit the Charlies Family," Heller said. "Their residence is by the lake, and when the lake freezes in winter, you can skate on it. Aunt Carey enjoys picnics by the lake, and her grilled at is delicious."
"If that lady doesn't mind, I'll pay her a visit," Aunt Carolyn promised with a smile. "What does she like? I can't show up empty-handed and be an ungracious guest."
When it ca to this, Heller hesitated, then looked to for help. We looked at each other and realized that neither knew what Lady Charlies liked.
This elderly lady lived a simple life, especially after her husband passed away, becoming even more reclusive and never showing any preference for anything.
"I think, um, maybe we can bring so ingredients," I said hesitantly, "Lady Charlies enjoys cooking, and so less common ingredients might make her happy."
I wasn't lying; Lady Charlies did indeed enjoy cooking-but that was based on experiences from a few years ago.
Since Lady Charlies resigned from her position as a royal nanny after her husband passed away, she couldn't freely enter the palace without an official role. As a result, our interactions with her significantly decreased. Including last night's banquet, I could count on one hand the number of tis I had seen Lady Charlies this year.
In the evening.
Today's class was Cynthia's least favorite, mathematics, so during dinner, she looked like a wilting flower, silent with her head drooping.
"When you arrive at the Charlies Family, your team of private tutors will teach you there," Mom said, which made Cynthia even more down. She had this fantasy that she wouldn't need to continue studying when she visited soone else's house, even though she knew that was impossible.
"However," Mom continued. "You will be in soone else's ho, so we shouldn't cause too much trouble. You'll only need to attend classes on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays each week, and the schedule will be condensed and reduced a bit."
Cynthia imdiately cheered up.
"What about Heller and ?" I asked Mom. "Will we also study with private tutors?"
My mom shook her head and said, "No, boys. Once January passes, Sivir Academy will officially start, and you'll resu your regular campus life."
Sivir Academy was where Mom and Aunt Dorothy attended. Aunt Carolyn also went there for a few years of college. Grandfather funded the current campus, so it closely connected with the royal family.
"But I heard Grandma wants us to study in Europe?" Heller asked.
"Yes, Europe has excellent educational resources, even though it's well-suited for you. However, you're still too young, and your father and I aren't comfortable with you being too far from ho. If you want to study abroad, I think we should wait until after high school," my mom explained.
To be honest, after going through everything in the Silvermoon Pack, I no longer longed for the human world like before.
But this mindset might change in the future, who knows, after all, there were still many years until high school graduation, and I hadn't even set foot in junior high school yet!
However, I was puzzled about why my mom still made Cynthia receive ho education. She wasn't much younger than us and should have adapted to the pace of regular schooling by
now.
But Cynthia seed fine with it, and since she never ntioned the reasons to , I didn't want to pry into her privacy.
The three of us couldn't sleep in the evening, so we gathered in my room and played a board ga called 'Flight Chess'.
Cynthia was an expert at this ga, and Heller and I didn't stand a chance. We quickly got tired of playing and sneaked into the kitchen to 'steal' so cake and snacks for supper-I swear Bertha must have noticed us, but she pretended not to and even brought us a large pot of 'bedti milk'.
"It's been a long ti since I've spent ti with Lady Charlies. I wonder if she already feels distant from us?" Heller asked nervously.
"But we just saw Lady Charlies last night and exchanged greetings," I said. "She still appeared kind, didn't she?"
"But last night, we only exchanged greetings with her in a room full of people. We greeted too many people; it was just a polite gesture, hardly formal communication." Heller's sensitive and introverted nature made him overthink things. At tis like this, Cynthia and I would comfort him. Right now, Cynthia said, "But we also hugged Lady Charlies, right? We didn't hug any other guests, and Lady Charlies accepted this slightly intimate gesture, which shows that she still values an intimate embrace with us. So don't worry about anything else; she loves us, that's all there is to it."
