I'M THE NECROMANCER KING
Chapter 16: Finding a Teacher

The next day, Mavis ate breakfast after Marrie and Sasha came to bring her food. He ate the meat greedily and as usual did not forget to take a glass of milk that tasted bland. He ate everything that was presented before his eyes, without exception.

After wiping his mouth he glanced towards Marrie and also Sasha. Then for a moment he thought, what good news is there to make these two people look at him in a strange way.

"Is there any news for today?" Mavis.

"I'm glad the Prince is okay" said Sasha.

Marrie who was beside Sasha nodded.

"Do I look like someone who could die at any moment?"

"It's not like that, Prince. It's just...."

"I got the news this morning, from the guards. And I'm so relieved to know you survived."

"Overnight, the assassin who had previously attacked the queen in her residence was found by several guards around your room, Prince. There was a fight outside. Didn't you see or hear anything last night?" said Sasha.

Marrie elbowing Sasha's hip. He is still unfamiliar with Sasha's way of speaking informally with Mavis who is not his prince or master.

"No, I'm so tired that I didn't wake up last night."

"Then, did he get caught?" Mavis put on an innocent face, pretending not to know and as if curious about the news. He understands now, it must have been the Darius attack last night. And both of them worry about Mavis.

"Unfortunately the guards are no match for the killer. So he managed to escape, Prince."

"So so," said Mavis.

"Prince, could it be that those assassins targeted you as well? What if he suddenly comes and attacks you again?" said Sasha.

"Well fine then. I already have someone strong to protect me. And if the killer comes to my place, he'll just dig his own grave."

"really? Who is he, is that person in this room?" Sasha immediately turned her head here and there looking for that existence that might be hiding.

"Sorry, I can't tell you about that. And I hope you can keep it a secret even in front of the king."

"We understand" replied Marrie.

"Oh yes, there is one more news, Prince!" Suddenly Sasha became enthusiastic. He smiled and his eyes began to sparkle.

"What's that?"

"The royal family from Osaka is on its way to Srivijaya. The King and Queen of Osaka and her daughter will arrive in a few days. Therefore your father made the decision to eliminate your punishment, starting today. So you're free to leave the room, Prince."

"Really?"

Mavis fell in joy. He was finally able to freely go in and out without sneaking out of the guards' sight.

Previously, there were many places within this kingdom that Mavis wanted to visit after being transferred to this world. He wanted to leave, but that was not possible because of the room detention status that the previous owner of the body had. Also, many guards were patrolling around him, making it difficult for him to sneak away to it, it would be very impossible to be invisible to the guards, so it was difficult for him to sneak away, unless he's got a magic robe that can make him look like he's in the movies. However, now that he had heard the fact that he was free, it meant that he could go to those places.

"Prince?"

Sasha watched Mavis who was suddenly silent. He also tried to make his master aware.

"Ah yes, sorry. It seems I need some time to digest the news. And, Sasha do you know why those people from Osaka came all the way here?" Mavis.

"Huh? Have you forgotten, Prince? Seven days from now is the opening day of the students from the Lynford academy!" said Sasha.

"That important?" Mavis.

"Prince please know, Lynford Academy has an important place in the kingdom. They are one of the forces that the kingdom has in addition to the military camp and also the adventurer guild," Marrie said.

"It seems I have underestimated the strength of Lynford academy," Inner Mavis.

"Prince, you haven't forgotten about one other thing, have you?" Sasha put on a frustrated face.

"Well, maybe I forgot about it. Is that important too?"

"OK, okay, it seems like I should indeed contact the royal healer. Something must have happened to your memory, Prince," Sasha said.

"No need, I just need a break. It's been a bad condition since last night."

"Alright, I'll tell you, Prince," Sasha said with a pouting expression on her face.

"It would be very embarrassing and painful for a woman, if she knew the man who would live with her forgot the date of her betrothal."

"Fool? Why suddenly talk about it? I don't understand what you mean."

Sasha stared blankly at Mavis. In his heart he was heartbroken, did this prince actually know but pretended not to know? Or does he not know?

Sasha was at a loss for words.

"It was about the Prince's matchmaking with Princess Judh of Osaka. Maybe before the Prince did not agree with the match so the Prince forgot about it" said Marrie.

"Stupid?"

Mavis widened her eyes.

Before long, he took a breath and muttered softly, "I understand now, it seems that the former prince of Asta is indeed of no use to this world. He was thrown out and replaced with me. The thing is, important things like matchmaking alone she doesn't remember!"

Marrie who hears vaguely Mavis's small voice, but does not also understand. So, he decided to go ask, "Sorry Prince, did the Prince say anything?"

"Ah, no. I'm just talking to myself."

"Oh, I suddenly thought of something. Can you get a teacher for me?" Mavis.

"Teacher?"

Mavis nodded, and Sasha blinked her eyes a few times.

"So the Prince finally decided to get a teacher? This is good news for the Queen! I hope the queen wakes up and sees you soon. He'll be so happy."

"Why are you so sure my mom would be so happy to find out? Isn't that something that is commonly done for people? You must have a teacher who trained you, right?" Mavis stared in surprise at Sasha.

"That's another for you, Prince. Even Aunt Rose said you always refused when asked to learn from a teacher. Once upon a time the queen brought in some master teachers who were saddled with the fields of the kingdom of Toran, and you rejected them outright."

"Tell me, Prince. How can I not be surprised when you suddenly want to have a teacher?"

Mavis scratched her non-itchy head.

"Well, all of a sudden I just want it right now."

"So, can I?" Mavis.

"Why don't you ask to be taught by the person who protects you, isn't he very strong? Even a killer who was like a child's toy to him?" said Sasha.

"Yes, you're right he's strong. But he was not suitable in terms of teaching someone. So I need someone else who's an expert in his field."

"Prince, what kind of teacher do you need?" said Marrie

"I need a teacher who can teach me education, magic, and swords."

"Three things at once!" Sasha suddenly spoke. "Are you serious Prince Taking just one teacher is already very difficult, let alone three?"

"It's okay, I want all three" said Mavis.

"Sasha, it's inappropriate for you to comment on the Prince!" Marrie yelled at her sister.

"Yes, yeah, I get it."

Marrie closed her eyes for a moment while restoring her composure. Then he glanced back at Mavis who had previously laughed seeing Sasha being scolded by him.

"Prince, to get a teacher who can teach you about education and the sword are not two impossible things to do. However, in order to get a teacher to teach you magic, you need talent first for it" Marrie said.
