Extra 3.1 – “He’s Lonely.”
☆☆、Chapter 36 – Education Issues (I) ☆☆、
Miranda held her forehead and sat in a corner of a large and beautiful leather sofa, her carotid artery throbbing with her emotions.
Her partner, Chris, was quite good-naturedly sewing a stuffed rabbit, one of whose ears hung limply, revealing a piece of snow-white cotton.
Sitting on the carpet was a pretty little girl in a pink skirt and white stockings. She stared at her ‘good friend’ without blinking, and let out a thunderous howl from time to time.
”Miranda murdered my best friend—”
”This is definitely not murder, Tina,” Miranda tried to suppress her anger and hugged a pillow tightly, “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean it.”
It’s a trap! It’s definitely a trap!
Chris held back his laughter and rubbed his daughter’s soft hair, whispering to comfort her: “Baby, Daisy and Annie will be here soon. Do you want them to see you crying?”
”…No,” Tina frowned and thought for a while, finally stopping her meaningless howling: “I will get a double birthday gift as compensation, right, Miranda?”
Admiral Miranda was so angry that she pinched the edge of the pillow and rolled her eyes.
Almost at the same time, a gust of warm wind slipped into the living room through the cracks in the window that were not closed tightly, and the doorbell rang. The gentle Beta put down the rabbit doll and personally led his little daughter to open the door.
Their guests had arrived—they just didn’t know which one would arrive first.
Thinking of this, Chris opened the retro old-fashioned wooden door.
Outside the door, a tall figure stood casually. Chris saluted with a very respectful look.
”Marshal, Your Majesty.”
”Today is Tina’s birthday party, don’t be so formal.”
Marshal Glenn was wearing a light black suit, which was well cut to show his tall figure. Time had been particularly kind to this couple, and even a few wrinkles could be seen on the face of the man in his forties. On the contrary, his eyes became deeper with the polishing of time, adding a lot of unique male charm.
He was holding a little girl in a white dress. The little girl looked at Tina standing on the floor with her big blue eyes downcast, and called out with a smile, “Happy birthday, Tina!”
This crisp blessing amused Joshua, who was half a step behind the two of them. His Majesty the Emperor of Fran smiled and greeted them: “Long time no see, Chris.”
”Haven’t seen you for a long time.”
Glenn put down the “real little princess” Daisy and let the two little girls run away with their arms around each other. Then he naturally took his partner’s hand and slowly walked into Miranda’s exquisitely decorated three-story villa.
Just as Chris was about to close the door, a lazy shout came into his ears.
”Hey, wait a minute—”
The laziness in the voice was so personal that Chris stood by the door and waited a little longer.
Ke Xi was holding the hand of a little girl in a goose yellow gauze skirt, and was dragged into the porch by the little girl.
”Dad, you’re as lazy as a worm!” said Annie angrily.
Chris: You got the truth, baby.
Admiral Ke Xi looked calm, bumped fists with his colleagues, and then the two men, two young and one old, walked into the living room together.
Not long after, Harvilin, the older single man, arrived late, carrying a beautiful gift box in his hand, which Miranda carefully hid in the closet, ready to be taken out at lunch to give Tina a – uh, surprise that can’t really be called a surprise?
Now that all the guests were present, the atmosphere in the living room was very different from what it was ten minutes ago.
The three cute little girls in little skirts started whispering affectionately when they met, and burst into soft laughter from time to time. The number of adults on the sofa also increased from two to six.
The pink eye contact between Glenn and Joshua that had remained the same for ten years made Havelin look sad and lean against the back of the sofa to reduce his presence.
——Having a legal partner is a big deal, right?!
…It’s really amazing QAQ.
”Miranda, can we go to the toy room to play for a while?” Tina asked flatteringly, pulling up her skirt and standing up from the side of the stall. “We will come down at lunch! We can wash our hands by ourselves!”
Miranda waved her hand helplessly: “Go ahead, be careful, I’ll bring you some fruit later.”
”Thank you Miranda.” – This time it was three thanks in unison.
The little girls went upstairs like butterflies, and the adults chatted leisurely in the aroma of black tea. The sun was shining brightly at around ten o’clock in the morning. The rare holiday coupled with good weather really made people happy.
Unfortunately, as a parent, you will inevitably encounter problems of one kind or another…
”She is simply a little devil! A child, and this is just a child…” Miranda scratched her hair in frustration, “Your Majesty, hasn’t the palace been blown to pieces by the two princes?! And you, you both are not in the capital for six months every year, how did you come up with four babies?!”
”……” Ke Xi looked at the ceiling calmly, “Gifted?”
”…You are so shameless.”
”You can’t.”
”Roll!”
Glenn refilled Joshua’s cup with half a cup of black tea, sighed, looked at his lover, and whispered, “With our son… Actually, we have some problems too.”
”Question?” Chris raised his eyebrows. He was obviously interested in this question. “About the young princes?”
”Well,” Joshua nodded, took the cup from his partner, and took a sip of tea, “some educational issues.”
If Joshua called it a problem, it must be a big problem.
Chris smiled and said, “Her Highness Daisy is very lively and cute. I can’t imagine that you two would worry about your child’s education.”
”Yeah, Daisy is a good kid.”
Glenn gave a typical old father smile, while Joshua only slightly raised one corner of his lip.
——Except that she is a little hypocritical, she has a lot of clever ideas. After selling children, she would ask them to help count the money. At the same time, she would blink her big angelic eyes and act pitiful… She is good in every way.
”It’s Kyle.” Glenn shook his head sincerely. “He has been very obedient since he was a child, and he is still very obedient now. But there are indeed some problems.”
”As he got older, the problems became more apparent, and it became very difficult for Joshua and me.”
It was Kyle.
The other four people present raised their eyebrows at the same time.
Kyle Gustav is the eldest son of the Emperor of the Fran Empire, gender Beta, and fourteen years old this year.
The boy had black hair and blue eyes, his facial features were similar to Joshua’s, but his facial features were very much like Glenn’s.
As the first born prince, Kyle has been the darling of the media since birth. However, Glenn and Joshua did not want their child to be disturbed by the outside world too early, so they made preparations in advance and protected Kyle’s information layer by layer. Even when he enrolled in the Royal Academy, he used a perfect fake identity.
By the time the second child was born, Gustav II, whose health has improved due to rest, advised the two to let nature take its course. Only then did Glenn and Joshua restrain their tendency to be overly vigilant.
…After all, he is a first-time father.
Therefore, in detail, Kyle, the eldest prince, is more mysterious and low-key than his lively and sociable younger brother Leo.
When Kyle was just born, the royal couple found a free evening and gathered together to come up with a “Kyle’s Growth Plan” like a meeting. They also signed their names at the end seriously and determined the obligations they needed to undertake. Now think about it. That plan that has become a waste paper is really stupid.
Fortunately, His Royal Highness Kyle has perfectly inherited his father’s IQ and EQ. He has not grown up in any way and has even grown up to be quite outstanding. From physical fitness to academic performance, he is always the best among his peers.
He is humble and low-key, more reserved than his two fathers, with a very high mental strength, and he can make almost any hobby he comes into contact with into a specialty. He is simply a perfect son.
Glenn once thought so too. He frowned and said in a deep voice, “After Kyle entered middle school, Joshua and I gradually realized that he was doing so well.”
Miranda and Ke Xi both showed horrible expressions.
——Are you here to show off? Marshal!
Joshua then took over the conversation: “Last month, Leo and Kyle played chess together, and Kyle won.” Emperor Fran lowered his eyes, his long eyelashes covering his pupils, and said calmly: “This is probably the hundredth or two hundredth time that Kyle has beaten Leo. After that, Kyle came to me and said something.”
”He said—he was bored.”
Joshua sighed and looked at Glenn. “I asked him why he was bored. Kyle told me that he was bored with everything.”
Miranda and Chris’s expressions became a little more serious, Ke Xi also sat up a little straighter, and Harvilin asked straightforwardly: “Is he short of playmates?”
”No, it’s not.”
Glenn rubbed his thumb over the back of his partner’s hand to comfort him. “You know, after Celine was completely transformed into a principality, Theresa came to live here for a while. Kyle was born not long ago at that time, and from then on, he was exposed to bilingualism. When he was five years old, Joshua arranged for him to have a court tutor who was fluent in the House dialect.”
”I don’t know if you remember that when he entered the Junior Department of the Royal Academy at the age of eight, he had already mastered three foreign languages very well.”
Harvilin remembered this incident and nodded, “Yes, everyone present was shocked at that time.”
”After entering the youth department, he learned a lot of things,” Glenn said. “Swimming, chess, bagpipes, dulcimer… He was able to master each of them in the shortest possible time. Although he can’t say he is proficient in them, he is far ahead of his peers.”
”He later entered middle school. Joshua arranged for someone to do a system test for him. Kyle was 12 years old at that time. His IQ was 178, and his mental strength was… double S.”
“…” Everyone present was speechless.
”I should have realized this problem then,” Joshua said, with a rare hint of regret in his voice.
”People’s sense of accomplishment comes from the hard work and suffering in the process of achieving their goals. Generally speaking, the more you pay, the more satisfied you will feel when you get the desired results. Kyle had already gained too much before he found his goal.”
“At the same time, he has never had a rival or peers who can match him.”
“He’s lonely.”
Joshua spoke word by word.
