Chapter 72: To the North (3)
— When you teach Siern, you’ll have many questions.
Before heading north, Dereck had visited Lord Melverot to give his final confirmation.
Melverot, who sat working with his legs crossed arrogantly, was pleased with Dereck’s intent, but as Siern’s father, he had something to say.
— Many mages have tried to teach Siern and gave up. Each had their own reasons, and many ended badly.
— …
— I just want Siern to adapt well to noble society. To properly learn magic according to the star-level system and to become a lady worthy of the Rochester family. I’m not interested in anything else. Just keep any questions that may arise during that process to yourself. That’s all.
Though it sounded straightforward, Melverot’s expression carried a hidden nuance.
It seemed he was concealing something, but Dereck wasn’t in a position to question him.
Besides, he wasn’t particularly interested in the details. He only needed to win over Siern and teach her what was necessary.
