Kingdom’s Bloodline Chapter 15: Course schedule

Gilbert coughed and quickly returned to his true colors:

"So, as a usual rule, as a minor prince, you will have a full-time teaching team to ensure that you can gain and benefit in grammar, etiquette and other courses and more..."

"One or two attendants..."

"Some personal guards..."

Tyles took a sip of tea to pick up his mood:

"Sounds familiar."

Kilber characteristically nodded, seeming a little emotional:

"Of course, six years ago, everything was urgent and everything was simple. We could not provide you with the best and most appropriate personnel."

"Later, the development of the situation broke our plan. In your days in the north, it was difficult for us to send you the manpower accepted by Exter. I am deeply sorry for that..."

Gilbert's words were deeply guilty.

"Not at all."

Thyls shook his head and raised his lips unconsciously:

"As a teacher, Putila has been missing for several years, and he is not forgiving, but he does have a wide range of knowledge and unique considerations. He has helped me along the way and taught me a lot."

It's hard to imagine, that insidious little old man smoking a pipe in the corner, choking you from time to time, always jumping out when unexpected...

He and Gilbert, who is dignified, courteous, and considerate, are actually good friends.

I was also a classmate taught by a tutor.

"As for the attendant, Huaiya has been loyal, hardworking and dedicated for six years. He is a rare prince attendant."

Tyles keenly noticed that Gilbert's expression fell again when he mentioned Wyah.

The prince couldn't help sighing in his heart.

When I saw Huaiya six years ago, I still felt that he was a bit rigid and serious, but now...

Tyles glanced concealedly at the expressionless Star Lake Guards around him.

He sighed slightly in his heart.

There are some things, it's just being in the blessing to spare no luck.

"Then the guard, yes, Ada..."

Thyls suddenly felt a headache:

"Well... as the prince guard, she..."

He sighed, embarrassed:

"Very...lively?"

Under the prince’s narration, Gilbert also seemed to fall into the memory, his eyes moved slightly.

"Furthermore," Thales returned to his senses and smiled:

"Did you invite the old crow for me in the last year?"

When he mentioned this nickname, Gilbert's expression brightened and he smiled.

"And I hope Mr. Hexer can help you."

"Huh, of course he did," Thales shrugged, thinking of the special teacher, the stubborn veteran in the shield zone, and even more of their bond with his mysterious mother:

"And the help he gave me..."

"You can't imagine."

When there was silence in the living room for a while, neither of them spoke. During the period, the servants, accompanied by the royal guard, exchanged tea and snacks.

"I assure you, Your Highness."

Gilbert looked at Thales again, and said warmly:

"Since you have returned to Wing Star City and have been promoted to the Duke, you deserve a noble and effective education."

"The people of insight appointed by your majesty and I will do our best for your study, starting from the schedule setting, planning your daily life..."

Daily life...

When Thales heard this, he couldn't help scratching his head:

"In fact, I have been used to self-study in the past six years. You know, there is a large library in the Palace of Valor..."

But Gilbert shook his finger as if he had already prepared:

"Constrained by conditions, being forced to study behind closed doors, and self-blocking without resources, these are two different things."

"Moreover," Gilbert turned his words, serious and serious:

"If you know something about learning, my lord, then you will know."

"Except for effortless rote memorization and accumulation of knowledge,"

"Nothing is self-taught."

Tyles looked at him blankly.

I saw Gilbert snapped his fingers, and said with great heart:

"You need someone to guide, someone to discuss, someone to ask, someone to supervise, someone to stimulate, someone to encourage, someone to help, someone to respond to your learning results, these are hard books that cannot be given to you... "

"Okay, okay, I get it," Thales interrupted him with a headache, and hooked his hook like defiance:

"Study, courses, or whatever, okay, come on, come on all."

Forget it.

Furthermore, isn't it just going to class?

Except for ghosts and river crabs, Thales has never been afraid of anything in my life!

Gilbert smiled and nodded.

"Very good, so I just want to discuss with you today and sort out your future study schedule..."

The cunning fox of Xingchen raised his glasses again, and at the same time picked up a pen in his right hand, writing something on the paper on his knee.

Thyls, who couldn't fight for a free life, looked at him boredly.

"So, grammar, etiquette, history, military..."

Gilbert squinted and raised his head:

"Of these four, what did you learn in Exeter?"

Thyls looked up for a moment.

In the Palace of Valor, the days in Selma's study...um...

Grammar, etiquette, history, military.

"They are not classified like this..."

"But, let's skip the grammar and etiquette," Thales said with a headache:

"First, history."

Thyls knocked his fingers and recalled:

"In the past six years, they have changed a lot of history teachers, from scholars, nobles to priests of the temple church, and even the Earl of Lisban will personally teach in his spare time."

"Charles Resban, I remember, the Lord'Dragon Eye'," Gilbert's eyes focused:

"When the fortress peace talks eighteen years ago, he was a difficult opponent."

Thyles nodded with lingering fear, thinking of the eyes of the Regent Lisban who seemed to see through his mind.

"The history lessons taught to the aristocrats in the Northland are not so much history as...traditional lessons."

Gilbert's eyes moved:

"Traditional?"

Tyles nodded:

"Starting from the ancient northern kingdoms, from the "Alliance of Ten Thousand Beasts" by Takmu, the first king, to the "Last Line of Defense" of the Iron King, the Knights Temple was completed, and the kings jointly launched the battle for the saint... "

"When the kings are in war, Tianma is born, and the empire is conquered..."

"And the uprising king opposes the first uprising of the imperialism, the north is independent, the six kings fight, the mountain spirit moves east..."

"When the modern empire collapsed again, the orcs in the "Moonless Winter" went south, and finally the line of defense was restored, and thirty-eight sentries were lightened..."

Thyls counted one after another, and Gilbert was also scribbling down on the paper.

The Duke sighed:

"Just to say that the entire ancient empire was built on the invincible Northland knights, and then overthrown by them, and finally relied on them to defend the human world..."

Tyles' tone was helpless.

"But, until Nekaru reversed the cold wind, and the ten knights stood together in Exeter, you will find out after hearing more..."

The Duke's eyes gradually became serious:

"They are not so much remembering history as they are to remember the unique traditions of the North: survival, iron and blood, co-governance, duels, wars, glory."

Gilbert thought for a while, then answered:

"Or their jurisprudence and orthodoxy."

Tyles squinted and nodded.

Or sum it up in one sentence:

Eat, sleep, and beat the orcs.

The last item can be replaced with "Empire" or "Stars" at any time.

Well, maybe someday it will be replaced by "Thyls".

The Duke of Xinghu swept away unnecessary cranky and returned to the subject.

"Then, the etiquette class in Northland."

"Yes, you heard that right. The Northland nobles also have etiquette classes, how to meet, greet, greet, get along, and courtship...Of course, there are also how to fight."

Thyls sighed:

"Tiansha's northern court etiquette... the higher the status, the more so."

"Etiquette..." Gilbert thought, chewing on the word:

"No matter what aspect, people who don't like empire, the more they despise it, the more they are in line with the great empire-such as etiquette."

Thyls sneered, thinking of some past events:

"Believe it or not, in a certain version of the story, the duel tradition in the North originated from a pair of ancient brothers: legends have it that they fell in love with the same woman."

Like a lion, fighting for the damn...

Community mating rights.

Thyls curled his lips.

In fact, in the first year of Longxiao City, Thales, who didn't know how to do it, attracted friendly and eager duel applications from various Exeter nobles.

Fortunately, his status is high enough (Prince), and fortunately his backstage is hard enough (Grand Duke), and fortunately his cheeks are thick enough, Thales survived his first year in peace and vowed not to follow in public. Selma walked together ("Obviously she came first to pull my hand!"-In the dead of night, the nine-year-old Thales complained aggrievedly to the pillow).

"In addition, they will also explain religion and belief in etiquette classes."

Thyls recalled:

"From ancient ancestor worship, to ancient mountain beliefs, to modern holy sun churches, to today's bright moon and sunset, the throne and the dragon after the end of the war—the northern rituals and beliefs are inseparable Open."

Gilbert memorized a few notes and nodded:

"I'm afraid this cannot be separated from the legacy of the empire."

"Hundreds of years ago, when the Holy Sun Church was the state religion of the Empire, almost all secretaries and bachelors of the imperial nobles came from church schools. Almost every noble family had its own priest, and the faith in the Holy Day It is a compulsory course, second only to loyalty to the throne. In fact, religious etiquette and knight etiquette have considerable commonality."

Tyles shrugged, not knowing whether he agreed or was helpless.

"In addition to history and etiquette, there is the rule class."

"As the name suggests, it teaches a heir to a lord how to govern the territory. Of course, only noble families above the earl will have this class."

Thyls recalled with a headache:

"Including financial accounting, farming, business administration, human relations, etiquette and law, aristocratic marriage relations, and so on... There are many and complicated."

Gilbert thoughtfully.

"But do you know what is most interesting?"

Tyles exhaled, half mocking half contempt:

"Under normal circumstances, women are not qualified to attend this class. They are only for male heirs."

Of course, in the past hundreds of years, Exeter has never seen a female heir who can put on the stage.

That’s why he was fortunate enough to accompany someone in class-ironically, Thales was more able to stimulate the teacher's desire for guidance in this class than his female tablemate.

"But in fact, the content of the Northland Rule class, whether measuring income and expenditure in charge of housekeeping, figuring out favors and banquets, or arranging marriages according to etiquette, especially the part related to numbers and marriages, is the hostess. In charge of marriage-especially among aristocrats who only drink and hunt, but are not clever in arithmetic."

Thyls tilted his head for a while, thinking of Nicolai:

"In fact, there are quite a few Northland men like this."

"So, among the many classes of the Grand Duke and I, the inexplicable rule class is the one that is least controversial by the nobles in Longxiao City—because she is a girl anyway, and she has to learn it when she gets married. , And I’m a man, it’s useless for me to learn this."

The prince is contemptuous.

Gilbert smiled at him.

"In the chaotic era of Kings, wives and daughters are just a link between family and family, city-state and city-state, and they have no status at all."

"Only since the empire, intelligent women have their own stage: a good girl can become a good helper for a future husband, sharing the responsibilities of the male owner, not a beauty who is sluggish in the portrait ."

"It can be seen that the promotion of the status of the noble ladies depends on the maturity of external conditions and the environment: only the war is no longer, the grain is full, the production is restored, the rule is stable, the war horse is useless~IndoMTL.com~The weapon has no owner, With less physical work and more effort, women’s physical disadvantages will be reduced, and intelligence will have room to play a role."

Gilbert seemed to say something more profoundly:

"If the world hasn't reached that day, it will be futile for you to fight against your classmates in Longxiao City."

But Thales came interested:

"So, if the external conditions are never mature, such as underdeveloped production, underdeveloped economy, unstable times, and frequent wars; if the world will never be that day, for example, the way people work still depends on physical strength and strength... Should the woman be a vassal and live like this forever?"

The glasses in Gilbert's hand:

"It's a pity, but this is an obvious objective fact, and there is nothing we can do."

Thyls stared at him and suddenly smiled.

"It is and should be."

Gilbert was taken aback:

"What?"

"You gave me a ‘is’ answer, Gilbert," the young duke sighed:

"To respond to my ought question."

"This is not right."

Gilbert was startled first, then suddenly.

"It seems that our grammar class can improve a bit," the foreign minister smiled gently:

"Especially the logical part."

Thyls smiled cooperatively.

"But before we solve this age-old puzzle, let's return to the subject," Gilbert wisely stopped dwelling on this topic:

"So, apart from history, etiquette, and rule?"

Tyles breathed vigorously, but failed to blow the whistle.

But it doesn't hurt his complicated feelings for the next answer:

"Finally, the most northern part."

"Northlanders..."

"Military class."
