I don't own Royal tutor

The four princes were once again in Heine's room messing around. Suddenly Licht take a step back and knock down Heine's box filled with letters and gifts from his former students. Letters flied everywhere.

"Sorry. Don't worry. We will get them." All four princes and Heine start picking up the letters. Bruno gather the most first and start to place back in the box. That was a blue silk bag on the floor. Judging from how close it was to the box, it must have been at the bottom. Picking it up, he found that there was something inside. Curiosity lead him to open it. There was something shiny inside it. Bruno pulls out and hold it to the light. It was a medallion. Bruno stare in wonder at the silver medallion. Engraved with various symbols surrounding a crest, it was the size of his palm. He had never seen anything like it, which was saying a lot considering the fact he was a prince and a scholar at the university.

"Master, what is this? I have never seen anything like it."

Heine glance up from where he was picking up letters. "I would expect not. That is a gift from a student's mother whom I taught in the Eastern continent."

The other three princes look at him, and then the medallion.

"From the Eastern continent?" Leonhard said as he looks at the medallion. "Why were you teaching over there?"

"Mei Li's mother come from a family of traders. They have a branch here in Glanzreich. Several years ago, when they were just starting here, they contact me at the church I work in. They offer to donate to the church monthly and pay me a generous salary if I teach Mei Li western culture and languages. So, I went to Western Zhou for a few years to teach her. She was a good student, eager to learn. She soaked up everything I teach her." Heine took the medallion from Bruno. "Five years after I started teaching, war rise. Western Zhou didn't stand a chance. That was why I was send back to the Western continent. This medallion was given to me as a gift by Mei Li's mother. If I show it to her family, they will help me in any way possible."

"What happen to her?" Kai asks.

Heine shrugs "I have no idea. At that time, trade with East was only just starting to stabilize. All the news I got states that Western Zhou lose the war. I assume that Mei Li had die." Heine sighs. "It was such a pity. Mei Li was really intelligent and clever. She wanted to help people when she grew up. I wonder what she would have be like as an adult."

Little did he know soon he would meet Mei Li again.
