Chapter 16: TEACHING ALARIC
"This is so frustrating." Aristia muttered in annoyance when she didn't find anything after searching for a suitable book for Alaric.
She was still in the library with Alaric, looking for a suitable book to help him learn to read.
"What paradise for a book lover? This is mostly politics, history and culture of Amberale and other kingdoms."
[I thought it would be easy but I didn't expect it to be as hard as finding a needle in a haystack.] She thought.
But then it occurred to her that she was in the medieval era and they probably didn't have children story books. She should have considered the situation and timeline she was in. This got the cogs in her brain turning as she thought of ways to teach Alaric and earn money at the same time.
No. She wasn't thinking of asking for payment for teaching Alaric.
[How disgusting and shameful would it be if I asked for money to teach a three year old, much less my own supposed brother?] She had a better idea that she planned to put into action sooner or later.
While searching for a book for Alaric on the part of the shelves her hands could reach, which wasn't much since the shelves were insanely high and she didn't trust the ladder even though it looked and was sturdy just like all the other wooden furniture in the mansion, she found a book about the history of the Kingdom and decided to take it since it would come in handy in building up her knowledge of this world and also in her history classes.
Carrying the book back to the sofa area, she saw Alaric still sitting in the position she had left him.
