Chapter 19 - Learning Etiquette (1/2)

It's been almost a week and nothing major has happened Until yesterday.

It was quite foolish for me to think that I had more than a week before my etiquette and home education classes would start. The fact was for some reason my parents were quite hasty when trying to find a tutor for me, and the fact my sister helped them when she came back from the academy did not help at all.

Right now and the next few months shall be torture like no other. I'm supposed to learn from this b*tch in front of?

There was a woman in front of me in her late thirties. She was tall, 5ft 10, with a busty figure and unparalleled curves. She had bright Brown eyes and hair showing her affinity for earth magic.

Both the color of the hair and eyes could indicate the natural affinity someone would have for an element. While some of my family had dirty blond hair and aurora-colored eyes which indicated the affinity towards either water or earth. The dirty blond hair didn't mean anything unless it had a tinge of cyan.

My mom's Sky Blue eyes were a hit that she had an affinity towards Water magic, but mainly ice magic. My grandma and my brothers however had ocean blue eyes which meant they had an affinity to water only.

Having one affinity was much better than having multiple. While having more light seems like a blessing, having one means all your affinity has been focused on a single element, making your control over it unparalleled and good enough to face several mages who have a mix of two or more elements.

Your domination over the element would only be compared to those who have the same amount of affinity as you, meaning it would turn from a battle of power to a battle of experience, control, and fighting style.

While some mages prefer close-quarter combat, others prefer long-range. While some might have been taught on using their magic a certain way, others were taught other ways and so forth. One thing that I neglected to mention is that I had learned that the strength of the magic you use is not only dependent on how much mana you use to fuel the spell but also how efficiently you channel that mana.

But that's a lesson for another day, or at least until I'm able to use magic. Right now I have bigger problems to face.

In Front of me is Miss Whitlock who happens to be my tutor for the next 2 years. Honestly, I haven't said a single word since she came.

For some reason, my father thought the best place for me to learn is in my mother's room? I don't understand the logic behind it, but whatever it is, it ain't working.

This woman looks more elegant and pampered than any noble I have seen in this life and most of my last if you don't count the internet as seeing. I can feel her pride radiate from her as mana. The size of her ego and pride was second only to her huge a*s that can be seen sticking to her baggy clothes as if it had rained beforehand. Nonetheless, she was completely dry. The bright blue dress felt like it was the only thing keeping her attitude in check.... and I'm gonna learn from this freak.

God, I hope she won't try to brainwash me or anything into being her pampered pet. If my parents think bringing a woman like this will allow them to brainwash my child's brain then they are severely mistaken. They would also lose most of my respect but I can't complain right now.

I'm keeping my end of the deal so they better keep there's.

”Child, today I'm going to teach you basic etiquette. How to do a perfect curtsy, bow or even kneel when needed. I'm gonna teach you basic speech patterns for now and when you get older, I'm going to teach you the womanly trick to lure the men in before you get married.”

...

”Is that understood?” she asked

”Yes Miss” I replied

”Good. Now get up and come here” she said while I complied.
