Chapter 76: The Shocked First Prince!
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
As soon as Weiss pushed open the door and entered, he saw Kyle sitting upright.
He immediately gave a big bow to Kyle.
“Your Majesty, you have requested for my presence, the First Prince!”
Kyle immediately smiled and said, “Stash your formalities somewhere else, boy. Between you and me, father and son, there is no need for such serious etiquette. In this study, just treat us as father and son.”
After the First Prince, Weiss, got up, he sat down on the left-hand side of Kyle and respectfully waited for Kyle’s instructions.
Looking at his handsome, tall, and confident son, Kyle could not help but feel satisfied in his heart. To be honest, this son was what he wished to have. His son was pretty good at handling matters and was very serious in terms of political standings.
Moreover, he was his eldest son, the child of his queen, Anna. He was quite fond of him.
Therefore, there were no ripples or ill will at all. Without hesitation, Kyle directly made Weiss the First Prince and made him his future successor.
At the very least, among the few children he had, no one could compete with Weiss for the position of being the crown prince, not even the Second Prince, Navast.
Such a young man, who was doted on by him and was considered to be quite outstanding, would definitely become even more outstanding if he was sent to Lorne to learn more.
At the thought of this, Kyle spoke very kindly to his son, “Weiss, I have been too busy with government affairs recently, so I apologize for not paying much attention to you recently.
“Tell me, how is your academic progress?”
Weiss showed a confident and bright smile, then said to Kyle respectfully, “Father, I have studied a lot of new things since I came in.
“The few teachers you assigned to me taught me many things. I have really learned a lot.”
Kyle nodded in satisfaction. After a few casual greetings, he changed the topic back to the main purpose.
“I called you here today because I found another good teacher for you. I’ll take you to pay a visit since I’m free today.”
Weiss replied with some surprise, “Father, don’t I already have several teachers?”
Kyle shook his head and then explained, “This teacher would teach you many other different things from what you’ve learned. The previous teachers will continue to teach you, of course.
“It’s just that what you’ve learned was about your own moral character, research on the classics from ancient times, and various qualities in dealing with people, culture, and other things.
“But this teacher that I will introduce to you today would teach you something different.”
Weiss was immediately interested.
“Father, what do you mean by something different?”
Kyle immediately counted with his fingers.
“The art of war, the tactical way of using soldiers.
“The art of managing your people, the politically right way of scheming.
“The art of understanding your people, the empathetic way of relating with your people.
“And the way of vision, the art of thinking long-term. This is the way of the world.”
Kyle directly said many different fields of study in one go, which instantly shocked the First Prince, Weiss.
It looked like Kyle was overexaggerating Lorne as a teacher.
Only a person who was like a god could be worthy of such evaluation!
How could this teacher know about politics, military affairs, scheming and fighting, managing the people of the world, and even had the insights and empathetic feelings of relating to his people?
Could it be that his father had found him a legendary great sage who was hidden from the world?
One had to know that the few ministers in the palace were already considered top figures in the world. It would probably be very difficult to find someone better than his uncle, Rosen.
Even so, he had never heard his father praise Rosen as much as this. So it seemed that the teacher that his father found for him was even better than Rosen?
Weiss could not help but look forward to it. To have such a teacher, he had to meet him.
As long as he could learn some profound knowledge from such a teacher, it would be indispensable for him to be in charge of government affairs in the future.
Weiss immediately said to Kyle, “Father, where did you find such a legendary teacher with profound knowledge?
“Could it be a great sage living in seclusion in the famous mountains and rivers?”
Kyle shook his head and patted his son’s shoulder.
“There is no need to say more. I will bring you to meet your teacher now.”
As soon as he spoke, Kyle asked his men to prepare the usual carriages and horses to leave the palace. He also changed into a set of ordinary clothes for himself and the First Prince.
Weiss looked at the simple and plain clothes on his body and felt a little puzzled and strange.
It was just a visit to see his teacher. Why did he have to wear these ordinary clothes? Why must he use the clothes that commoners wore?
After pondering, he finally understood!
It must be that this teacher’s style was diligent and simple. He did not like luxurious clothes, so he should not wear such extravagant clothing. That would be disrespectful!
It seemed that he was indeed a great sage who lived in seclusion! This great sage seems to retain such a hard and simple style.
Such an excellent quality should be fir for the First Prince. It seemed that the teacher that his father found for him was indeed the right person to educate him on the ways of the world!
Weiss immediately felt that he had an epiphany!
He immediately changed the jade belt on his waist to an ordinary belt. This way, it would be even more simple. Presumably, it could earn the favor of this great sage.
After the father and son got on the horse carriage and left the palace, Weiss’s respect for his future teacher grew even more.
He actually wanted the dignified king and his First Prince to put down their statuses and personally go out of the palace to receive and ask for advice. He must definitely be the world’s top expert to garner such respect from the king!
As expected, his father held him in high regard. He even found himself the world’s top expert when looking for his teacher.
In the past, his teacher had called him directly into the palace, but this one actually required him to go out of the palace to invite him.
That man must be magnificent!
Weiss’s mind began to wonder about the wonders of his new teacher!
In less than three seconds, he had already imagined an old man over eighty years old, with a white beard and hair, and holding on to a cane. His voice would be loud and full of energy, and when he spoke, it would contain all kinds of great truths.

He would be able to speak of the governance of the people’s livelihood and the way to become a great king with just a few sentences. It was likely that his uncle, Rosen, would have to call himself a student in front of this presumed great sage.
This First Prince of the Lolan Empire had already begun to yearn endlessly to meet him soon. It would be great if he could have such a teacher!
Apart from that, if he went back and showed off to his younger brothers and sisters, he would definitely receive a wave of envy and powerful flattery.
Weiss quickly thought about how he should greet his new teacher respectfully so that he could earn the respect of the great sage as quickly as possible.
