I Became the Tutor of the Royal Twins

n the other hand, there were two other people who started to feel a little troubled—the marquis and the marchioness.

Perhaps flustered by the whole situation, the couple looked quite worried.

It’s not a good thing that the imperial prince had gotten upset because of their son.

“Jerome must not be acting according to his age, Your Majesty.
We express our deepest apologies.”

Hesitantly glancing towards Helios, the marquis quickly apologized.

It’s not actually Jerome’s fault, but he knew that the fault would eventually turn their way.

“You don’t have to apologize, Marquis Brunner.
It’s only because Rosé seems to like Jerome a lot.”

Even as Helios dismissed their apology in stride, the marquis and marchioness still bowed their heads.

Then, they all watched Rosé and Jerome a short distance away.

With the garden in full bloom as their background, the children were having an interesting conversation together.

They gave off the atmosphere of sunshine and the yellow warmth of the afternoon sun.

“Hey, Jerome.”

Rosé called him, her voice shy and trembling.

Whether he was aware of it or not, Jerome continued having the same aloof expression as he usually did, and he turned to face Rosé.

Really.
With a face like that, it’s easy to understand why Rosé had fallen for him.

“Yes, Your Highness Roseline?”

He answered her stiffly and formally, but nonetheless, Rosé’s cheeks bloomed.
She kept her hands behind her, which fidgeted due to her nervousness.

“Um… Can I ask… Do you have someone you like?”

“!”

While watching, Helios couldn’t help but bow his head to hold back the laughter that threatened to burst through his lips.
Beside him, Sera also bit her lower lip and tried her hardest not to laugh.

Marquis Brunner smiled bashfully, while Marchioness Brunner covered her mouth in surprise.

It was only a conversation between two young children, but my oh my! How considerably forward of our dear princess!

The marquis and the marchioness were at a loss really, and they wanted to apologize, saying that their son was guilty.

“Why are you all smiling?”

But on this side of the garden, only one person couldn’t understand the situation.
As he was in Helios’ arms, Ferre asked.

Helios smiled at his younger brother, then brought one finger to his lips.

“Shh, Ferre.
Let’s watch a little more.”

So, they watched Rosé and Jerome without interrupting them, feeling a bit giddy and curious.

“Huh? Your Highness?”

Jerome tilted his head to the side.
He didn’t seem to have heard what Rosé asked.

Because it was quite a difficult question to ask, Rosé unknowingly mumbled when she had said it.

With her ears turning bright red, Rosé fixed her eyes on the ground and mustered her courage to ask the same question again.

“No, um… I’m asking if there’s someone you like.”

“Someone I like? My parents.”

Jerome answered in a polite and blunt manner.
But that only served to frustrate Rosé more.

“No, not them.”

Looking at him with rose-colored lenses, Rosé glanced up at Jerome and shook her head.

“Not your mom or dad… I’m asking if there’s someone else you like.
Maybe a lady who’s close to you…”

“Ah… You’re asking if there’s someone I have feelings for…”

Jerome paused for a moment, only understanding Rosé’s intention at that moment, and then he sighed.

He glanced briefly behind them, towards the adults, then looked back at Rosé and answered confidently.

“I fell in love at first sight with one person.”

“R…Really? Who?”

Rosé’s eyes were full of anticipation as she looked at Jerome.

Ba-thump, ba-thump.

Little Rosé’s chest started pounding heavily.

“Teacher Sera.”
