Chapter 0 - Prologue

Out of the two options, choose one. One, an extremely earnest student who is incapable of studying, or two, a student who doesn’t have the proper attitude towards education, but is great at studying. 

Which of the two do you think is better? You’re finding it difficult to choose? But what if I said that you absolutely had to choose one, what then?

“Even if a student doesn’t care about his education, won’t he do well if he’s great at studying?”

Ellie regrettably found herself looking at the man in front of her, a man who was ‘seriously incapable of studying, but is uselessly earnest.’ From her point of view as a teacher, while the outcome was important, the process was equally as important. That’s why, even if the outcome wasn’t immediately evident, she never felt disappointed, nor did she ever have thought of giving up. 

But damn, she’d never seen anyone that was this incapable of understanding something up until now. This man was one tough guy.

“Even if he’s unable to understand the material, how can anybody be this bad?” The man who was destroying her self-esteem as “Rosias,” the sex education teacher who worked in the hidden world of the elite society, was Cayman Rossiantus. 

…Perhaps there’s something wrong with what makes him a man? Had it not been for his father, the Emperor, she might’ve just quit right then and there. Cayman had a very, very low understanding of sexuality. 

Cayman was the Crown Prince and an earnest student who was fully engaged in his classes. Ellie happened to take a glance at the crotch of his pants. At that time, she had never imagined that Cayman had something amazing to offer. So after that, she thought about how she was going to teach this earnest student of hers.

“Your highness, it’s Rosias.”

“Enter.”

As soon as she announced her presence, the Prince gave his permission to enter the room. Ellie cautiously opened the door and, the minute she stepped foot inside, politely clasped her hands together before bowing. 

“You look quite happy. Is it perhaps because of the fact that you haven’t been teaching me?”

“Of course not. It may be, however, because of the rest I was able to take during the festival when you so graciously allowed me to take some time off.”

“Festival… Right, was it fun?” Cayman grinned as he asked this, using his eyes to indicate that she should sit down. 

Ellie straightened her back before heading towards the seat Cayman was looking at. She sat down, fiddling with the hem of her dress, before answering. 

“All thanks to your grace, I was able to rest quite well.”

“Hmm… I’m glad to hear that.”

Behind the silver mask, the Prince’s dark blue eyes narrowed. There was no way she could read the expression on his face due to the mask, but for some reason, Ellie felt like there was something he wanted to ask. But he ended up changing the subject.

“Anyways, Rosias, there’s been something that I’ve been thinking about these past few days. I’m sorry to say this, but your sex education has been lacking in efficacy. Therefore, I found the need to devise another way. What do you think of this?”

“Ah, regarding that issue…”

Ellie found herself at a loss for words and hesitated. Although she knew that her classes were proving to be unsuccessful, she found herself flustered from the fact that she’d never imagined the Crown Prince would point it out himself. But she immediately pulled herself together, calmly looked at him, and opened her mouth to speak.
