The noble children who needed no aid in their studies often scoffed at the adopted prince's open willingness to tutor those who asked. It wasn't that Cecil was trying to prove himself smarter than others, or earn any praise from his teachers, either; the short teen honestly wanted to help those in need. Kain held his tongue when faced with the derogatory comments about a lowborn tutoring highborns, if only because there was intense satisfaction involved in seeing the boys that had gone to Cecil do better than those who had not. The bloodless prince hadn't even really been trying to earn any respect from his peers, but he'd certainly gathered something of a following as the years went by.
