I want to learn about magic!

A knocking sound comes from the door of Duke Louis's study.

"Who is it.?" Say The Duke.

"It's me, Father!" A high pitch cute voice answer Duke Louis's question.

"Oh, is my cute Emilia?... Hurry come in!"

Viani then opened the door for Emilia. Just when the door opened, Emilia immediately ran towards Duke Louis's desk.

"My dear father, may I ask permission to read a magic grimoire?!" Emilia said with a cute smile on her face.

Louis was taken aback by his daughter's question, then he turned his gaze towards Viani as if asking her what made Emilia interested in magic. Viani responded by only shaking her head to tell him that she has no idea either.

"Emilia my dear daughter, what made you want to learn magic ?!" Louis said out of curiosity.

With a big smile, Emilia said "In the history books I read, I found that magic is a very beautiful thing"

"Beautiful thing ??, what kinda history book Emilia had read?." Louis said in his heart.

As far as he knows, magic is but a deadly power used to kill the enemy on the battlefield.

"I'm sorry Emilia, but I absolutely can't permit you to read the magic grimoire. Is too dangerous, at least not yet." Louis said while stroking Emilia's head.

Emilia's eyes then watered with tears, she then said

"Why?!" with the most heartbreaking tone.

Louis, who did not want to make his beloved daughter cry quickly says.

"Uh... um ... I can't let you read magic grimoire alone, at least Emilia should have a teacher who always keeps an eye on you" Said, Louis.

"If I have a teacher who keeps an eye on me, can I read magic grimoire?" said Emilia while tilting her head slightly.

"... yes you can read it"

"Hooray !!" Emilia then rejoiced in front of her father.

Louis looks at his happy daughter with a complicated eye. Meanwhile, Viani just stood there silently without saying anything.

'I haven't even said I will find a teacher for her' Louis said to himself while massaging his forehead.

...

...

...

...

At night, after Emilia has already fallen asleep. Duke Louis summon Viani to his room. Viani already knew why she is summoned by Duke Louis and immediately rushed to Duke Louis' room after hearing her master's call.

Viani knocked on Duke Louis's door.

"Excuse me, My lord, it's me Viani to address your summons, "said Viani.

"Come in..."

Viani then entered and stood at some distance in front of Louis's desk.

"Did anything happen today?" Louis said.

"Apart from what happened this morning, nothing special happened, My lord," said Viani.

"Are you sure? I mean her request was completely beyond my expectations. She is still two years old and already asks to learn magic, usually, a noble child needs to be ten years old to learn magic. Because magic is too hard and dangerous for children. Even though Emilia is a child of prodigy, I think magic is still too early "said Louis.

From behind Viani, the door suddenly opened.

"You said that but still permitted Emilia to learn magic. "

Natalia, The Duchess, suddenly barges into the room.

"It can't be helped, I want to explain that she needs to be ten years old before she can have a teacher to keep an eye on her. But she jumped happily before I could explain it. I can't say that I haven't given her permission after seeing how happy she was at that time" said Louis while lowering his head.

Natalia then sighed, then said, "You spoil my dear Emilia too much to the point you can't say no to her!"

She then continues

"Alright then, how are you going to find a teacher for Emilia? The magic academy will not send people to teach children under 10 years, you know the rules right!".

Louis facepalms and say "I know that".

Meanwhile, Viani had just stood there watching the husband and wife argue with each other.

"Am... I'm sorry if I interrupt, but My lord ... can I go back now?. I still have something to do." Viani said.

Hearing Viani's words, Louis then remembers her and said.

"Ah ... I'm sorry Viani, I forgot that you were here," said Louis.

"I also apologize to you Viani, because of my annoyance to my husband, I also forgot you were here," said Natalia while bowing her head a little.

"My Lord, My Lady. You do not need to apologize... I am only a maid in this house. I don't deserve your apology." said Viani.

"Well, you can dismiss now..." Said Louis.

"Very well My Lord..." Said Viani then quietly exit the room.

“So, what are you going to do for searching teacher for Emilia?” Said Natalia.

"A.. about that, I think Viani is fit to be Emilia's teacher," said Louis.

"Viani?! .." Natalia was surprised at the answer, but then she remembered something.

"Ah... if I remember correctly, she is from the Fiolera family. Does she have the experience to become a teacher?" Natalia said.

"You don't have to doubt Viani's abilities. Maybe you don't know it yet. Viani is actually a Witch who choose to retire after the Empire civil war 7 years ago," Louis said.

"Doesn't she look too young for a retired veteran?!" Natalia said in surprise.

"Ah ... Natalia, my dear... You know it yourself, Witch can be considered immortal and eternally young" said Louis.

"I don't really understand about witches, sorry if I don't know about that," said Natalia.

"I guess I can't blame you if you don't know. The number of Witches is not that many" said Louis.

"Sigh... Anyway... so it settles, Viani would be Emilia's Teacher from now on?"

"Yeah, I can't think of any other person who could be Emilia's Teacher given the circumstance."

"If that is the case, I'll be Emilia's teacher too... I'll teach her how to wield sword!!."

"Wait... what? don't make Emilia become the second Tilea!!."

"Well, I'll refrain myself to make Emilia become battle junkies like Tilea... don't worry. Also, I aim to make Emilia become a Magic swordsman!."
