I Became the Tutor of the Royal Twins

ons in the hunting competition.

Even then, as if it wasn’t enough, the twins held each other’s hands and giggled together.

Listening to Rosé and Ferre babble, Sera admired their cuteness—however, she also felt a bit troubled.

The twins seemed to be under the impression that the hunting competition would be a way for them to meet many different animals.

However, as it’s literally implied with its name, the hunting competition was an event where, usually during summer, nobles would ride their horses and hunt wild animals.

It was the biggest sport amongst the nobility, but at the root of it all was, after all, the death of the animals.

The winner would be the one who’d hunt the largest animal, and of course, all the animals that would come back would have already passed away.

So, the good news was that the children would be able to meet the cute animals that they were dreaming to see.
The bad news was that they’d be shocked to see what condition they’re in.

“So Your Majesty hasn’t…”

Feeling conflicted, Helios nodded when Sera trailed off.

“That’s the case, yes.
I don’t think my younger siblings realize what kind of event it is.
I think they’re going to cry once they see it in real life.”

A despondent smile proved his heavy heart.

Gently, Helios brought the children back to their bed and tucked them in.

Rosé and Ferre seemed to be in the mood to talk more about the hunting competition, but the way Helios firmly tucked them in made them unconsciously close their eyes.

Perhaps tired in their own way, the twins fell asleep easily.

And, leaving behind the sound of their even breaths, Sera and Helios left the Star Palace.

Sera was with Helios again today because she couldn’t dissuade Helios’ consideration this time again.
He saw her off and escorted her to her carriage.

Sera looked worriedly at Helios, who was about to close the carriage door for her.

His expression was still dark, and it was obvious that he was worrying about his younger siblings, who would have to see the reality of the hunting competition soon.

“Is the hunt bothering you, Your Majesty?”

Releasing the door that he had closed already for a while back, Helios glanced towards Sera.
His long fingers rubbed over his eyelids.

“I really can’t win against you, Miss Popo.”

Smiling awkwardly, he let out a sigh.

“At the end of the day, there’s so many things that Rosé and Ferre shouldn’t be seeing during that event.
That’s why children under the age of seven aren’t allowed to watch the hunting competition.”

“That’s right… Their Highnesses are completely mistaken right now…”

“Rosé and Ferre might burst into tears just catching sight of the game that would be brought back.”

“That’s undeniable, yes.”

Sera sincerely agreed with Helios, her sympathy for him evident in her saddened eyes.

Rosé and Ferre might get shocked and disheartened by the cruel side of the event.

“Is there another way, Your Majesty?”

He might have already thought of other ways to go about this, so Sera carefully asked just in case.

“It’s a traditional event, so the Imperial Family has to attend.
Me as well, I’ll have to participate in the hunt.”

“Your Majesty will be hunting?”

Sera seemed a little surprised to hear this, and she asked back reflexively.
With how gentle Helios was, it was difficult to imagine him killing anything
