Let's Train Heroine

Chapter 15: Heroine is Studying

Maris looked at herself, she cute face, and once her bangs cut off, give her neat look and enhance her beauty. She looked cute without doubt and it cuteness that is enough to make any man fall in charm. Of course she is just ten years old, so her charm is not much but anyone who saw her would knew that she is going to become extremely beautiful once she grow up.

She tied her pink hair into two pigtails, and her plain white dress looked good on her, as she swirl around.

"You look cute, as i thought," Lucan said as he pat her head.

Lucan really feel sad because he have emotions. If he didn't had emotions, then he knew he would sell Maris to king, and get high position then live good life. Of course that is only if Maris was just beautiful girl and he had no emotions.

Maris, with beauty is also person with great talent for saint. She was invaluable.

After this, he brought Maris back to house and began to prepare dinner. Although he wants Maris to make but he can't, for now he had to make and let Maris take initiative to make dinner. First few weeks, he would make dinner and lunch, then he would completely let Maris do all of dinner stuff.

Anyways, today he made dinner, after dinner, he realised that he forget to buy bed for Maris, so today again he slept together with Maris.

Lucan decided that he would not get bed until Maris turn 12 years old. Since girls puberty start around 12 years, he would get bed for her, and room for her to get privacy. Until then, he would stay together to create strong bond.

The next day, as planned, Lucan began Maris's education.

In a room deep within the temple, he had Maris sit at a desk and announced the start of the lesson.

"Well then, shall we begin studying?"

"Yes!" Maris replied with sparkling eyes.

Thanks to two days of nutritious meals, Maris's complexion had improved significantly. Although her body was still thin, her health was steadily improving.

"Maris, are there any subjects you are good at or bad at?"

"Um... I'm not sure, but I like reading books. My mother used to read to me a lot."

"Then let's start with theology."

Since she hasn't had much exposure to studying, it's best to start with a subject she might find enjoyable.

"Let's begin by reading this scripture aloud. Do you know the letters?"

"Yes, my mother taught me."

"Very well. Please begin."

"Okay. Um... 'In the beginning, there was darkness. God said, Let there be light, and light filled the dark world.'"

"'Seeing the devastated world, the great founding Saint said, I will bring healing to this world.'"

"Yes... Since the descent of the founding Saint, there have been beings known as Saints appearing in this world. Saints pour power into the land, dispel evil, and bring prosperity to the people," Lucan said.

The previous Saint passed away about twenty years ago, living a long life until the age of eighty. She was the daughter of a duke and became the wife of the king at the time. This means the current royal family has the blood of the Saint.

Lucan remember that in the game, Maris was bullied at academy because last saint was royal, and everyone wanted that royal blood awaken as saint but Maris did, who is commoner.

When Lucan played the game, he was angry at these royal children but now, he just felt that this royal children are not educated. The best thing is ignore them, if they do physical attack then fight back and if they do anything that threaten life then kill them.

However, now that Lucan has chance then he would teach Maris, let her know how to behave in presence of nobles, how to dress up and how to speak. So when she go there, everyone would be shocked by her grace and beauty.

Maris continued the story, "'Thus, the founding Saint and the first king joined hands and created a golden nation.'"

"That's enough for now."

They spent about two hours reading the scripture, with Lucan providing explanations along the way. Maris attended the lessons without any reluctance and seemed to enjoy reading the scripture.
