Mrs. Noyer hesitated before answering uncertainly.
“Perhaps it’s just her nature.”
“Alright, you can go now.”
“Yes.”
After Mrs. Noyer left, Duke Adrian couldn’t focus on his documents.
No parent would dislike hearing their child is a genius. Adrian too was pleased with Rosette’s displayed genius.
‘But it’s not good if Rosette feels pressured.’
He eventually called his aide and asked.
“Where is Rosette now?”
Meanwhile, Rosette was in the study room with Melody, ready for their magic lesson.
Though they had separate basic lessons, they decided to take magic lessons together.
Rosette insisted on it, and Celine agreed, saying, ‘It’s better to learn together for efficiency.’
“Starting today, we’ll have lessons together, Melody.”
Rosette held Melody’s hands tightly and whispered.
Over the past month, Melody had been staying with her brother Joseph at the staff quarters but occasionally visited the mansion to play with Rosette, and they had grown close.
Joseph was apprehensive, saying, ‘How can a lady and Melody be friends? I’ll discipline her!’ But Duke Adrian approved.
Rosette was overjoyed to have a friend her age.
Melody, who had gained a little weight over the month, smiled shyly.
“Yeah. But I’m a bit worried. What if the teacher is scary?”
“Don’t worry. Celine is kind and nice.”
“Mm.”
As the two children chatted, Celine entered.
“Now, you both know who I am, right?”
With that, the first lesson began. Celine seated Rosette and Melody at the desk and wrote her name on the blackboard.
“Yes, sister.”
“…….”
Bright Rosette responded while Melody kept her lips tightly sealed, shy around strangers. Celine smiled warmly at her and started the lesson.
“Alright, we are going to start with something very basic. The most fundamental lesson in magic is, of course, learning to sense mana.”
Celine winked at Rosette.
“Of course, Lady Rosette is already doing wonderfully, but it’s best to start with a solid foundation.”
“Yes, sister.”
Celine chuckled lightly.
“Okay. Shall we start now?”
Celine boldly skipped the theory and went straight to practical lessons. She thought explaining complicated theories to eight-year-olds would be pointless as they might not understand.
She placed her palms on the flat bellies of the children and moved mana directly. Rosette was calm, but Melody, feeling the unfamiliar sensation of mana for the first time, shrank away from Celine’s hand.
“It’s okay. It might feel strange at first, but you’ll get used to it soon.”
After comforting Melody, Celine praised Rosette.
“Your mana core is very well developed. How did you manage this by yourself? With lessons and training with me, your mana core will grow even bigger and stronger.”
“Yes, sister.”
Rosette’s cheeks blushed slightly. It was towards the end of the two-hour lesson when it happened.
“If the lesson is over, could I have a moment to talk with Rosette?”
The door opened, and Duke Adrian entered.
“Dad!”
Rosette, delighted, ran towards him, and he lifted her up in his arms.
After the carriage accident, Rosette felt she had become much closer to Duke Adrian. She also realized he had truly become her father.
“What brings you here?”
“I came to see Rosette.”
Duke Adrian nodded to Celine and then walked out of the study room with Rosette in his arms. Rosette was curious but stayed quietly in his embrace.
As they walked down the corridor, Duke Adrian asked.
“How was the lesson? I heard from Mrs. Noyer that you’re keeping up well.”
Rosette’s face, already flushed, turned even redder. Feeling shy for some reason, she lowered her head and mumbled.
“It’s fun. And I’m working hard.”
“That’s what I thought.”
Soon, they arrived in the garden, and Duke Adrian placed Rosette on a swing. Rosette still kept her head down, swinging her legs.
“But Rosette, you’re not overdoing it, are you?”
“Overdoing?”
“Yes. You learned all the letters in just two days and did a lot of pre-study.”
Rosette voiced her wish.
“I want to become a person who fits in with the Adrian family quickly!”
“I don’t understand why you’d say that.”
Duke Adrian stroked Rosette’s head.
“You’re already a wonderful Adrian.”
Her desire to quickly become a person who fits into the Adrian family reflected her earnest wish to belong and excel in her new environment, underscoring her commitment and diligence.

When he discovers she has gone, he risks everything to pursue her on land, enduring agonizing pain to transform his tail into human legs…
One-line summary: Male lead chases female lead. The male lead’s love is a bit sick, an invincible love brain.
Synopsis
During a voyage at sea, Jiang Yang accidentally captures a merman.
Servant: I heard that mermen are fierce and brutal.
Jiang Yang looks at the merman obediently rubbing her palm like a puppy: “You call this fierce and brutal?”
Servant: I heard that mermen have no human nature.
Jiang Yang looks at the merman with wet puppy eyes, obsessively calling her ‘A Yang’ like a childish infant: “You call this having no human nature?”
With great difficulty, she releases the merman back into the sea and returns to shore.
Who would have thought that in less than half a month, the merman, who should have been freely wandering in the South China Sea, would shed his scales, endure the pain of losing his tail, transform into human legs, and come ashore to find her?
He kneels at her feet, rubbing her palm, with merman tears rolling down: “A Yang, don’t abandon me.”
