Inevitable Parting

If there had been harsh penalties for failing, Vaan wouldn't have readily agreed.

After all, even if he was confident in his abilities, the same can't be said for Lord Helia's seventh daughter, who he knew nothing about.

Without understanding Lord Helia's seventh daughter's comprehension level, Vaan wouldn't have accepted the job if Lord Helia had set unreasonable penalties.

'Seems like Helia Ashenborn is quite a reasonable person…' Vaan thought according to his first impression.

That being said, no matter how perceptive Vaan was, he couldn't learn everything about a person's nature from their first meeting.

"When do I start, Lord Ashenborn?" Vaan shortly inquired after his agreement.

"When you want to start, you just need to inform me. I will send someone to fetch Cyrena from the academy to be privately tutored by you in the castle. All study materials can be supplied at your request," Helia Ashenborn said after some thought.
