Friday night, at the Barrons" mansion."My princess, tomorrow we"ll have a visitor. I asked him to teach you the basic military knowledge that are necessary for you to learn before we start your training in a few weeks. That"d be easier than you reading all those books. I"m sure you"ll be shocked when you see him." Anthony said to Sorcha while eating dinner.
"Oh! What"s his name dad?" Sorcha asked excitedly.
"Haha you"ll know tomorrow." Anthony replied. "He"s a good lad. He is my friend"s son, although he didn"t become a part of the military, he"s still knowledgeable. I used to mentor him a bit before, but he chose to quit."
"Why"s that?" Sorcha looked at her dad curiously.
"I"m not sure. Maybe he feels that the life in the military isn"t for him. Because their family has a military lineage, I heard he was only forced to train. Too bad though, he is quite the talent. Anyway, that didn"t matter. As long as he can teach you well, then it"s fine." He answered.
"Mm." Sorcha nodded.
~~
The next morning, Sorcha woke up quite early. After fixing herself, she rushed towards her father.
"Dad! What time would "he" come?" She asked.
"Oh excited are we?" Anthony laughed.
"Mm." She nodded.
"Haha, In just a bit. I asked him to come here around breakfast. Oh! Look he"s here." He pointed at the doorway.
Sorcha dropped her jaw. "Mr. Ryan!"
Ryan laughed, "haha h.e.l.lo Sorcha. How"s your morning?"
"You. Why didn"t you tell me it"s you?" Sorcha asked.
"Your father wanted to surprise you." He grinned.
She then looked at her father and pouted.
Anthony just laughed and said, "surprised?"
"Mm." Sorcha admitted. "Ah! I remembered you said that you know my dad." She glanced again at Ryan.
"Yup. He was one of my mentors before."
"Un. My father told me already. Oh, Mr. Ryan have you eaten? Come join us." She said noticing that she might have been rude.
"Okay." Ryan agreed.
When he was sitted, Anthony said, "You should teach her well. I won"t be able to join you because I still have to go to work."
"I understand." He affirmed.
"Good! Then I"ll leave my daughter to you now." Anthony looked at his child and added, "You should listen to your teacher well."
"I will." Sorcha said.
"Don"t worry general, she"s quite the diligent kid." Ryan said.
"I know! Haha, I"m leaving now." Anthony said making sorcha feel a bit embara.s.sed by her father"s unnecessary remark.
"Take care honey. I"ll be waiting home." Aria said then kissed him on his cheeks.
"Yes yes. Of course. How about my daughter? Where"s my kiss?"
"Dad! We have a guest!" Sorcha grumbled.
"Sigh. Our daughter now is becoming a lady. She no longer wants to kiss her father." He complained to Aria.
"Mom! Will you please stop dad!" She said.
"Pfft~" They laughed. Even Ryan couldn"t help but to laugh as well.
"Now, stop teasing her and just go to your work." Aria said.
"Ay ay n.o.body wants me to be here anymore." He grinned then left the mansion.
