Chapter 18

Chapter 18

I finished up the lesson early. I didn't feel like dragging it out today.

Afterward, I took an evening walk with Eriez. The full moon was up high, lighting our path.

I said to Eriez, "And after the training, his highness asked me what I thought love was."

What was love….

I wanted to know what it was too. What was love, and did it cause my innocent prince to do something so inappropriate?

Was it love who blinded me? Was it because of love that I couldn't even reprimand the prince, although it was my job as his teacher? Did love prevent me from getting angry at him?

Eriez asked me, "Love? Are you saying you are in love with the prince, but Prince Camille is in love with the Virtuous Priestess? We don't know how the priestess feels about anyone, but she is supposed to be having relations with the warrior, right? Did I get the gist of this situation?"

How Eriez summarized it was so sad and maddening that it sounded like a bad joke.
