King George's eyes narrowed, but his reaction was quick as well. He said, "In the path of learning, respect for the teacher is the most important. Only when one respects their teacher will they attach importance to learning itself. Hence, there are two situations when the ruler will not treat his subjects as subjects. The first is when the subject presides over a sacrifice to the heavens, and the second is when the subject assumes the role of a teacher."
Even though Sharky was in a world of cultivation, for the sake of a stable country, a system of etiquette has been inherited through thousands of years. There was no need for a teacher to show the courtesy of a subject when he teaches the ruler the classics. When the ruler is learning, he should forget his status as a ruler and seriously learn. This was the so-called respect for your teacher.
His intentions were clear. This even applies to a ruler, let alone a crown prince and princess.
