Chapter 4: The Abyss of Despair

Looking at the count's gloomy face, in fact, the old scholar Rosiate was also very terrified at this moment... Alas, if it were just some strange remarks like "The sun and the moon are just two big balls", it could be regarded as the childish words of Young Master Dwayne. However, when hearing a child over five years old say something like "The excessive concentration of imperial power is the root cause of corruption", it almost made the old scholar's heart stop beating!

In fact, after teaching Young Master Dwayne for a whole year, the old scholar already knew very well that his student wasn't the "idiot" as rumored. On the contrary, this child was very smart, even a bit smarter than children of the same age. But even the smartest child wouldn't talk about such profound topics as "imperial power"! So, the old scholar naturally thought that these astonishing viewpoints were mostly accidentally revealed by Count Raymond at home and then carelessly repeated by the ignorant child!

Count Raymond held great power and was the second-in-command of the military high command, with extensive connections in the imperial navy... For such a powerful figure to slander the imperial power privately at home clearly showed his dissatisfaction with the royal family! If one thought a little deeper... He was just an old scholar and didn't want to be involved in any political struggles! It was better to get away as soon as possible!

The old scholar's firm request to leave was agreed to by the count. He almost packed his things and left the count's mansion like he was running away. Seeing this, Count Raymond could only smile bitterly. Could it be that his son was really hopeless?

Dwayne quietly watched his teacher, who had accompanied him for more than a year, leave. He stood in front of the window on the attic and watched the old scholar pack his luggage and get into the carriage and drive away.

"Young master." Probably seeing that the little master's expression wasn't very good, Mad couldn't help but call out cautiously. After successfully making the young master speak, he had been serving as the personal servant of Young Master Dwayne.

"Mad." Dwayne didn't turn around, but it was obvious that he wasn't in a good mood. "Do you think ignorance is a kind of happiness?"

"Uh?" Mad didn't know how to answer. In fact, the former groom didn't have much knowledge in his head. The little master's question like this clearly made him not know how to reply. Ignorance? Was the little master feeling troubled about himself? But for such a topic, Mad didn't dare to chime in.

"Forget it." Dwayne turned around. He seemed to smile. On his small and tender face, there seemed to be a trace of weariness. Compared to the people in this world, I know too much. I know why there are the sun and the moon in the sky, I know why there is the cycle of day and night every day, I know why there are the alternations of the four seasons in a year, I know why spring comes and autumn goes... But precisely because I know these things, I'm troubled. Perhaps, in this world, ignorance is really a kind of happiness!
