I was still sleeping on my bed when I heard soft knocks on the door. I sat up and look at the clock. It's very early in the morning, who might it be? I got up from the bed and walk to the door. I turn the doorknob to open it. I saw Marie standing.

"Good morning, Heine Sensei." She greeted.

"Good morning, Marie. It's early in the morning, what brings you here?" I asked as I put on my glasses.

"I'm sorry to interrupt your slumber but his majesty is calling you to his office." She answered and I nodded. I softly close the door and change my pajama into my royal tutor clothing. I went back to the door and open it. She's still there. "I'm also here to escort you."

"I already know the way and I believe you have a lot of other tasks to do." I decline her offer and she just nodded and walk away. I walk in the opposite direction towards the King's office. Marie surprised me for working in the palace but I'm sort of glad because I can keep an eye on her.

As I continue on walking, I wonder why would Viktor want me this early. Usually, it's about the younger princes or an arriving of a guest. I can't help wondering what it will be this time. When I reach my destination, a palace servant open the door. As I step in, I kneel down and bow my head at the King as a respect. The doors behind me closed.

"Good morning, your maj-" Someone suddenly tackle me with a hug that interrupted my greeting. I lift my head to see who did so. "Leine, that's kind of disrespectful having the King in front." As I scold her. Standing in front of the King is Lannie.

"It's fine Heine." Viktor said with a smile then slowly his tears are falling down. We all give him a confused look. "It feels like yesterday when my children used to tackle me with hugs but they don't anymore." He starts crying. "They grow up so fast."

I'm still on the floor from the fact that Leine is still hugging me. "Leine, how long are you planning to embrace me?" I asked and she hug me tighter.

"Forever." She reply and I stare at her making her pout. "Is it bad to miss my papa?"

"I believe that you have a lot of time for hugs, Leine." Viktor said making Leine let me go and helped me stand up.

"What do you mean, Viktor?" I asked and he summoned us near him. He grab a letter and put it on his table.

"Weeks ago, I received a letter brought by Maximillian from Lannie and Leine asking to help you in your job. I replied them to come here so we can discuss it personally with you."

"As the tutor's assistants?" I questioned and turn to face Lannie and Leine. "What can you assist to me?" I asked them to see if they know what they're doing. They think for a second and Leine open her mouth.

"What if you need something on the higher shelf?" She said referring to my height. "You want to put something on top of a shelf. Carrying a lot of stuffs especially if it's heavy. Ehh..." as she continue on mocking my height.

"Stop saying stuffs relating to heights." Lannie scolded her sister for the fact she's older and only a few centimeters taller than me. Leine cross her arms.

"Say something about Papa's question." Leine said before pouting.

"We can assist you on preparing your lesson materials, organizing your stuffs and making sure you'll stay on being healthy. Helping you avoiding the stress." Lannie answered and I just nod at her.

"Anything to add, Leine?" I ask her for my agree on their request.

"Keeping your family close together, Papa." Leine answered with her genuine smile. I give her my fade smile.

"So it looks like you're accepted to become Heine's assistants." Viktor pipe up and I nodded. "My children needs to know this." He said and called his butler. He commanded to bring the younger princes here.

We didn't move from where we're standing until a servant knock from outside announcing the princes arrival. The four step inside and give respect to their father. They immediately noticed the presence of Lannie and Leine.

"Your highnesses, they are Lannie and Leine my s-" I've been cut off when Licht Ouji suddenly put his arms around Lannie and Leine.

"Yay, Heine Sensei brought me new lady friends." He said loudly. I immediately hold Leine's hand giving her the signal to get away. Lannie glare at Licht Ouji like she wants to kill. Ouji looked terrified and hugged Leine.

"She's very kind and gentle." Leine said to Licht Ouji and he gave her a disbelief look. "She just hates boys more than anything." She added.

Leine didn't move a muscle from Ouji's embrace and it feels like she doesn't have plan for him to let go, looks like she's liking it. Licht Ouji lifts her head and stare at her green eyes. I really want to grab Leine from him.

"Lannie is it?" Licht Ouji asked to Leine. She touch Ouji's arms and push it away from her. She step closer to me and I felt her hands shaking.

"Incorrect!" Leine said with a smile. "My name is Leine Wittgenstein, 14 years of age. Nice to meet you, your highness." As she introduce herself with a bow to the princes.

"Wittgenstein? Isn't that your last name, Sishou?" Bruno Ouji asked and I nodded at him. I push my glasses upward and clear my throat.

"As I was saying before I was interrupted by Licht Ouji." I said and the others glare at him making him step back beside Leonhard Ouji. "This is Lannie and Leine Wittgenstein, my siblings." The princes looked surprise. "As of today, they'll be my assistants." I announced and Bruno Ouji looked nervous.

"Are they also gonna teach us?" He asked and I shake my head in reply.

"They will not. They'll only help me with the materials and some demonstrations." As I clear my answer.

(Kai's P.O.V.)

New friends... I am... Happy... Everyone should get... along...

(Bruno's P.O.V.)

It will be interesting to get to know Sishou's family. Wait, isn't that arrogant maid also a part of it. She's his cousin.

(Leonhard's P.O.V.)

I really can't help wondering what kind of torte are we having for dessert.

(Licht's P.O.V.)

First up is his cousin and now his sisters. I'm getting more curious about Heine Sensei for the fact he's a guy with void history. I want to learn more from him.

(Viktor's P.O.V.)

Why am I also included in this point of view thing? I already know everything about Heine. Lannie and Leine are his daughters but they only act as siblings to other people.

*cries*

My children, they grow up so fast.

(Heine's P.O.V)

"Father, why are you crying?" Leonhard Ouji asked to Viktor who suddenly cry.

"Nothing, it's just that..." Viktor sobs. "It feels like just yesterday when my children are still crawling and seeking attention from me and now..." he cry even louder. "You're all so adult now."

"Father, we're not babies anymore." Licht Ouji complaint.

"Father... it's fine..." Kai Ouji said cheering him up.

"I believe that's not a rightful act to do in front of guests, father." Bruno Ouji said and Viktor wipe his tears.

"You're right, Bruno." He said and clear his throat. "You are all now dismiss." We all bow at the King before leaving.

"Your highnesses, please go back to your rooms because I will start my lessons for today." I said and the princes leaves with no comments. I turn to Lannie and Leine who's chatting.

"It's settle then, you'll go with Onii-chan and I will go prepare our room." Leine said.

"What's going on here?" I asked in curiosity.

"Leine and I decided to take turns as your assistant." Lannie answered.

"Yeah, we realize it's gonna be rowdy if both of us will be present in your lessons." Leine added.

"Is that so?" I asked and they nodded. "Shall we get going, Lannie?" She walk closer to me and nodded.

"See you later, Onii-chan!" Leine yelled and wave her hand before walking away opposite to our direction.
