Skynder was sent to his room for the rest of the day. As the next day ca, he was awoken early in the morning. A servant, not Li Youcai, brought him to an elegant room in the house.
It had a large table, and behind were two glass doors that led to a balcony with a nice view of the Imperial Capital.
Upon entering the room, Skynder saw an old man and a middle aged woman. It only took a brief glance to see how scholarly they were.
Seeing Skynder, they slightly bowed and invited him over.
The old man spoke kindly. "Please take a seat, Master Skynder. For the foreseeable future, we will be teaching you the basic noble education of the Imperial Capital."
Skynder saw many eating utensils, books, and clothes around the room.
He sighed and began.
The first lesson was on how to eat. Clearly, his style of eating had left a strong impression on his aunt's family.
Over the next two weeks, Skynder was taught relentlessly for more than 10 hours a day.
Although this seed like a long ti, noble etiquette was usually taught over a period of years and ingrained into a noble child from birth.
The old man had been kind from the start, while the middle aged lady had been strict and sowhat rude.
However, at the end of the two weeks, both were filled with astonishnt. Skynder's learning speed was incredible. They began to deeply respect Skynder's talent, as well as his newly acquired etiquette.
These two weeks had been extrely useful to Skynder. He truly had no idea about the vast majority of what he was taught.
Just as his two teachers began to respect him, he began to respect both of his teachers. Their knowledge seed endless. He had not been able to ask a question that they could not answer from the top of their heads.
He did not dare claim that he would ever be able to surpass these two in terms of noble etiquette.
However, he had probably surpassed even his cousins.
At the end of the two weeks, Skynder's aunt ca to one of their sessions. She had been told by the two that Skynder was ready, but she did not believe it. She ca in as a witness to a sort of test.
After three hours, she was shocked. Skynder had truly learned everything.
She nodded. "You have passed. Now, I shall introduce you to what is known as the Noble Circle."
She had not planned to do this, expecting to rely teach him so etiquette before his sister ca back and took him away, but since he had co this far and knew this much, it wouldn't be harmful to show him so stuff.
It just so happened that the next day, Aunt Skyless was scheduled to have a tea party with so other noble ladies. They were all able to bring a plus one.
As Aunt Skyless had told him, this was an event designed to show off the class of their children.
Usually, Aunt Skyless would bring one of her daughters, but this ti, she brought Skynder with her.
Skynder took a bath, changed his clothes, and got into a carriage with Aunt Skyless.
Like this, he really was charming. Most nobles looked good regardless, but what made Skynder even more charming was the slight green glow in his eyes.
The tea party was not far away. Nobles lived in the Noble sector of the Imperial Capital, which ant that any Noble was just a short ride away.
They arrived at a mansion far larger than theirs. Skynder had learned that certain statuses were required for certain houses.
For example, only the Imperial family could have a full palace in the Imperial Capital. This was common sense.
It was the sa for royal families in royal capitals.
The tea party was being held at the house of a Duchess.
This was the highest status below that of a mber of a king's family or the emperor's family.
The house looked like an art project. There was a golden gate and behind it a large and clean field. There were fountains everywhere with even a small river flowing through the property. The house itself was glorious as well.
It was four stories tall with multiple balconies and a beautiful color sche.
The carriage stopped at the front gate, and Aunt Skyless and Skynder stepped out. There were multiple other carriages around, naturally from other nobles.
Aunt Skyless looked at the breathtaking view for a mont before the gates opened.
She stepped inside, Skynder closely following behind.
In the distance, another carriage was slowly coming towards the gate, but they would only arrive as Skynder and Aunt Skyless entered the building.
A large double door blocked their way, but as they walked towards it, it opened. Two butlers pushed open the door and respectfully held them, waiting for Skynder and his aunt to enter the building.
Skynder was stunned by the sight inside. Crystals, gems, diamonds, gold, everything elegant was inside. The walls, the floor, chandeliers, each had so sort of shine or sparkle.
Inside, a servant waited for them.
"Welco, Baroness Skyless. Please follow ."
With a bow, the servant walked to the stairs.
Aunt Skyless and Skynder followed behind.
They were led up a few flights of stairs to the fourth floor of the house.
A balcony extended, larger than any other. There was grass and decorations all around. In the middle was a large table surrounded by many chairs.
There were already four people here. One of them was naturally the Duchess herself. She was one of the few won to hold a noble title as the head of the noble bloodline.
Like Baron Sky was the head of the Sky Barony, the Duchess was the head of the Vass Dukedom.
She calmly glanced over as Aunt Skyless entered the balcony.
"Baroness Skyless. How great that you have co. You seem to have brought your nephew that I've already heard about."
Aunt Skyless smiled and bowed, as did Skynder. "Indeed, he has misbehaved already. Since then, he has been taught the conduct of a noble."
Duchess Vass smiled again.
