Chapter 41 Going to Hell 2 (2/2)

Feeling oddly amused by her strange laugh, Solomon forgot his anger and started to laugh as well.

Soon, the entire study was filled with the sounds of their crazed laughter. The sounds became louder that it leaked out to the hallways. The maids who were about to enter to serve tea heard the sound and suddenly their jaws dropped to the floor.

Master Solomon is actually laughing!

He is laughing! After 10 years, he finally laughed again!

The maids then heard another high-pitched laughter that sounded like a mutation between a child and a pig and knew that the other person inside the room was none other than that weird brat!

Hearing their laughter, the maids saw Inna in a new light and began highly respecting her.

To think that her strangeness would bring back their master's laughter.

They couldn't be more thankful that Inna arrived 2 months ago!

In the end, they couldn't hold it in their hearts to keep hating her for the garden incident. So, when the laughter died down, the maids knocked before entering and serving the tea. Then, they kindly smiled at Inna before retreating silently.

Inna raised an eyebrow at their strange behavior but didn't comment.

”Still, the answer is no.” Solomon said firmly.

”Besides, why do you need to go to school when I am teaching you personally?”

Inna sighed. ”It's 'because' you're teaching me, that's why.”

”You said the school year is starting so, you need to prioritize all these,” Inna gestured at the towering stacks of papers.

”Rather than this.” She then pointed at her.

”It's been fun and all, but I don't think leaving me with stacks of boring books for me to read without any pictures and guidance, can be called 'teaching.' Because I'm sure as heck, I didn't learn jack shit of what I just read yesterday or the past following days.”

”The only way I can learn, is to actually be taught something. It means 'guidance,' not 'figure it out yourself' treatment. Or else it's going to end up becoming like that garden incident. I might lose control of the spells. And who knows, one day, this whole Sunny whatever mansion would suddenly disappear from the world.”

Solomon contemplated for a moment.

It is true. There were lots of businesses he left unfinished and meetings he postponed in the academy. And now to add the fact that someone from the royal family is entering, it'll make him busier with safety planning and maintenance of the academy's security. And he knew deep inside that once the school year starts, he wouldn't be able to have that much spare time to see Inna, much less teach her.

He knew that.

Since in all the previous years, because of the very same work, he couldn't even take care of his own son properly.

So, Solomon sighed as he made a decision.

”Fine. You can go.”
