Chapter 29 Learning
They didn't go to the castle in the end. There were houses within the inner walls, most of them mansions. The carriage drove to one of them and stopped at the front door.
The men who were probably bodyguards opened the door of the carriage and stood aside waiting. A woman who looked like a housekeeper got out first and respectfully took Eleanor's hand.
Ye Kai also stepped onto the ground carefully. Then Eleanor took Ye Kai's hand and walked quickly towards the front door. People around were performing similar rituals, but Eleanor didn't seem to care much.
(It looks like hard work.)
Although it is impossible to know exactly what Eleanor's social status is, this kind of free and easy appearance must be difficult for those servants to deal with. Although Ye Kai can't do anything about it.
(Oh, is this the legendary maid?)
Ye Kai felt a little excited when he saw the women in aprons and skirts lined up to welcome Eleanor.
The aura they exuded was completely different from those who were walking in Akihabara. When Eleanor led him by the hand, Ye Kai felt that he had lost his composure.
"..., Ye Kai..., ......?"
Eleanor seemed to be making some kind of request or instruction to the maid.
A maid came forward and bowed to Ye Kai. He hurriedly returned the greeting, but the maid had already turned around, as if leading him to follow.
Ye Kai waved goodbye to Eleanor and hurriedly followed.
He was led into a room and left there for the time being, but the maid returned with clothing in her hands, and Ye Kai realized that she wanted him to change.
Although it had dried somewhat, he thought that wearing bloodstained clothes in such a place would surely be unbearable for them, but the maid did not leave.
He didn't have the courage to take off his clothes in front of her. Just as he was hesitating, the maid seemed impatient and walked up to him and reached out to touch his clothes.
Of course, this was not some erotic development. If ignored, he might just be changed like a child. At this point, Ye Kai decided to take real action.
He grabbed the maid's hand, spun her around, and pushed her toward the door. He succeeded in pushing the maid out the door, but he didn't notice that the maid seemed to be chuckling to herself as she left, as if to say (What a child).
Although he was not used to it, the clothes were simple in structure and he was able to put them on easily.
He walked out the door, bowed with a wry smile to the waiting maid, who came forward to adjust his clothes. At this moment, Ye Kai realized that he might never be able to hold his head up in front of them again.
He was taken to the room again, where Eleanor, who had changed into light clothes, was waiting for him. While drinking tea and waiting, she smiled and greeted Ye Kai who had changed his clothes.
However, Ye Kai noticed that there were a lot of books piled up next to the table. He was invited to sit on the sofa, and it was study time waiting for him.
Eleanor unfolded what looked like a picture book and pointed while slowly mumbling the words.
Although this is a correct method for language learning, Ye Kai still finds it difficult. Although only partially, when he points to a picture of something he has never seen and uses words he has never heard of to express it, he can do nothing.
For example, that might be a fruit growing on a tree. It was a difficult task to imagine what it really looked like based on the faint description in the children's picture book. He thought it might be better if he could see something like an illustrated book.
(It seems that I need to find a way to guide the direction. What should I do now?)
Judging from the contents of the picture books he had read so far, the writing in this world is phonetic. First, he decided to make a correspondence table and request a picture book to be prepared.
When he showed Eleanor the gestures for writing, she understood immediately and prepared parchment and pen.
Then he asked Eleanor to partially cover the words in the picture book and only read the pronunciation, and began to distinguish between vowels and consonants. Eleanor understood and became very cooperative.
By this time, Eleanor seemed to notice that Ye Kai was very used to learning. He didn't need to be taught step by step, as long as he was given materials such as illustrations and dictionaries, he could decode the language by himself.
Usually these materials are not available everywhere, but fortunately, they seem to be abundant in her mansion. After preparing various books, she monitored Ye Kai's decoding work and provided help where he was confused.
Such study sessions proceed at an astonishing pace.
------------------
Ye Kai, who looked very tired, was taken to the living room to relax, and Eleanor was called out by her father who came back late.
Her father seemed to have been very busy of late, and she thought he would not return from the palace today, but he did, and she happily hurried to her father's office.
Eleanor's father, Marquis Geraud Assedgorn, holds the important position of Minister of State in the Kingdom of Holzlein.
This is a heavy responsibility, covering a considerable part of government affairs, from assisting the king in policy formulation, to giving instructions, and even planning and implementing independent policies.
Although he had the ability to control state affairs at will, he respected the king, actively helped, and showed an honest work attitude. At the same time, he also showed flexibility and cunning in handling a wide range of practical matters. It can be said that he was a very trustworthy minister.
He smiled at Eleanor who entered the room and welcomed her home.
Glaude tried to appear strict, but he was actually very fond of his daughter, which was well known among the family and one of the reasons why he gained trust.
To Glaud, Eleanor was the most beautiful daughter in the world.
"Eleanor. Today, I heard you picked up something?"
“Yes, father. His name is Ye Kai and he is a very interesting child.”
Eleanor told about how she was attacked by a monster while walking outside the city gate. At that critical moment, Ye Kai appeared out of nowhere and defeated the monster. Then she told her father about the things they couldn't talk about.
“Words can’t communicate?”
“Yes, he looked like he was saying something, but I had no idea what he was saying.”
“Can you understand what he said?”
“Not yet. But he’s very clever, and I think I’ll be able to understand him soon.”
Given the pace of the study session, this seems to be in the not too distant future.
"If it's too difficult, I can arrange for researchers from the School of Magic to help."
"It will be all right. I think he'll be able to talk soon."
“You have great confidence in him.”
“Although we can’t communicate, I can feel his attentive care for me and his courtesy towards my family. He must be a gentle child.”
“Okay, I trust you.”
(I'd still have him monitored though.)
That's it, Glaude added mentally.
The next day and the days that followed, Ye Kai continued his studies, and with the help of Eleanor, he was able to speak without spending too much time.
