(Chrissy's POV)

*I made my way down the hallway to the parlor. It was almost time to meet the Professor to see our results. I arrived at the parlor just as the clock struck 4*

Chrissy: Right on time. *I entered the room to find Bruno standing in front of the Professor with a hand over his heart* Oh. *they both turned to me* Bruno, you're already here.

Professor Heine: Ah, Princess Chrissy. Right on time.

Bruno: Chrissy! *he ran over & put his hands on my shoulders* Isn't Master the most intelligent man you've ever met!?

Chrissy: M - Master? *in her mind* What's with the change in attitude?

Professor Heine: Didn't I just tell you not to call me that?

*Just then, the doors opened & Licht & Kai came in*

Licht: Hullo, teach!

Kai: . . . Teacher . . . I'm here . . .

Professor Heine: Good day.

Chrissy: Licht, Kai, you're here!

Bruno: You two! Why is it you fail to address Mas - the Professor with the proper formality!?

Licht: Geez, who cares? You're too uptight, Brunie!

Bruno: Mas - The Professor deserves your respect! Mas - The Professor may not scold you, but it still holds true!

Licht: Why do you keep saying "Mass", Brunie? *he put his arm around the Professor* It's cool, right, teach? We're best buds and all, no?

Bruno: Wha . . . When the hell did you get so . . . Inexcusably impolite . . . And so enviable, so enviable . . . I'm jealous!

Professor Heine: Please calm down. You may speak to me however you like. Your Highnesses, after all, hold a far higher station than I. Ah. *he took Licht's hand off his shoulder* Could I ask you not to put your hand on my shoulder? It is my personal belief and my philosophy as a teacher that the relationship between teacher and student should be built on a foundation of trust. Ah. *he moved away from Licht* Would you mind giving me a little more space?

Licht: Wh - Hey! You're being cold to me!

Bruno: It's your just desserts for your lack of manners. Good grief, you're always so unseemly . . .

Chrissy: That's right, Licht. You shouldn't invade someone's personal space.

*Licht seemed to ignore me*

Licht: I'm just unseemly enough, thank you!

Bruno: Your unseemliness is unbearable! Every day you bring a new strange woman to your room!

*Licht made a face at him*

Licht: Hmph! Like you're one to talk!

Chrissy: Licht!

*He ignored me again*

Licht: I mean, seriously!? You sure you're not jealous just 'cos you can't get a girl, egghead? Tch. I can't believe I'm stuck with this hard-headed nitpicker for a brother!

Bruno: I beg your pardon? Well, I would prefer not to have a younger brother who is rotten to his very core!

*The two of them argued back & forth. I just stood there, unsure how to stop them. Just then, Kai got in-between them*

Professor Heine: Prince Kai.

He gave Bruno & Licht a stern look & then took a deep breath*

Kai: BE . . . NICE . . .! Bruno . . . Licht . . . Be nice . . .!

Bruno: I lost my temper . . . I apologize, brother . . .

Licht: Sorry, Kaine . . .

Chrissy:*in her mind* They stopped.

The Professor & I both clapped*

Professor Heine: You make a most effective intermediary, Prince Kai.

Chrissy: That was amazing, Kai!

Kai: . . . Love all of my brothers . . . Best when all get along . . . *he took the Professor's hand* . . . With teacher . . . Too . . .

Professor Heine: I'll be off.

*I then realized that I didn't see Leo*

Chrissy:*in her mind* Leo isn't here yet. I hope he comes.

*Soon, we were all just sitting down & talking while waiting for Leo. A few minutes later, Leo came bursting in, looking angry*

Bruno: Leonard!?

Professor Heine: You are late, Prince Leonard.

Leo: Wh - Why are you laughing it up with a teacher!? Mere hours ago, you were on my side! We agreed to oust him! Traitor!

Chrissy: I never agreed to that!

Licht: Traitor? Oh, Leonie. Actually, I've taken a liking to him.

Kai: Me too . . .

Leo: Licht! Elder brother! What in the blazes . . .?

Chrissy:*in her mind* Why does it look like there are ulterior motives here?

*Leo turned to Bruno*

Leo: Bruno, my brother! He can't have brained washed you, yes!?

Bruno: Professor Heine is a truly excellent tutor, yet he could not be a more humble man of exemplary character. Such is the mark of a true genius . . .

Leo: BROTHER!

Chrissy:*in her mind* He's the worst of them all.

*Leo then looked at me & grabbed my shoulders, looking ready to cry*

Leo: Chrissy! Please tell me he didn't get to you too!

Chrissy: What are you talking about? *I stood up* I have been willing to learn from him since the moment he arrived. I find him to be a strong, kind, and humble man who cares greatly about his students.

*Professor Heine bowed to me*

Professor Heine: Thank you, Princess. *Leo back away from me. His face blue from shock. the Professor took out a stack of papers* Now, then, as you are all gathered . . . I'll return your tests from today.

Leo: Th - That's not what I came here for. I'm leaving!

*Licht grabbed his hand before he could leave*

Licht: Hold on, Leonie. You already took the test. May as well find out your grade! It's a contest. You versus me!

Leo: Unhand me, Licht, you fool!

Professor Heine: Ahem. To begin . . . *he handed us each our tests, from highest grade to lowest* Bruno, the third son: one hundred points.

Bruno: Naturally.

Light: Freak.

Professor Heine: Kai, the second son: eighty-seven points.

Kai: . . . Average.

Light: Whoa! That's good!

Bruno: Why are you surprised? Brother has always gotten good marks.

Professor Heine: Chrissy, the first daughter: Eighty points

Chrissy: Wow. That's better than I thought.

*Licht squeezed me*

Licht: Wonderful, Chrissy!

Bruno: Excellent work.

Kai: Good job . . .

Leo: Not bad.

Professor Heine: Licht, the fifth son: sixty points.

Licht: Yowch! And these are basic questions . . . I'm behind . . .

Professor Heine: Leonard, the fourth son: one point.

*We all looked at him in surprise while he just looked away*

Bruno: Th - That's impossibly low . . . Even with an aversion in academics . . . I'm sure this is some kind of mistake. Let me see it.

*Leo handed him his test. The four of us looked at it & then realized something*

Chrissy:*in her mind* He put all the answers in the right places, but they're all wrong. The one point is only a pity point for writing his name! Wow . . . Professor Heine is very strict.

Bruno: I'm . . . Err . . . Sorry . . .

*Licht started laughing at Leo*

Licht: Leonie, for real!?

Chrissy: Licht, don't be mean! I'm sure he did his best!

Leo: This is why I didn't want to take any tests . . .

*Bruno covered Licht's mouth. Kai put a hand on Leo's shoulder*

Kai: Don't need to be upset . . . You're a good boy . . . Athletics are your forte . . .

Chrissy:*in her mind* Thank you, Kai.

Leo: Y - Yeah, that's right . . .! I'll be okay . . . As long as I make up for it elsewhere . . .!

Professor Heine: Still, this score is simply dreadful, Prince Leonard.

*Leo froze*

Chrissy:*in her mind* Uh-oh.

Professor Heine: However, you . . . Hmm?

*Leo had a red face & looked ready to cry*

Leo: I - I've never been so humiliated . . . This is all because you forced me to take that stupid test! *he ran out of the room in tears* I KNEW TEACHERS WERE THE ENEMY!

Bruno: Leonard!

Licht: Leonie!

Chrissy: Leo! Wait!

*He was gone before I could stop him*

Licht & Bruno: GAH! So fast!

Licht: Wooow. Nobody can catch up to Leonie when he runs full tilt. Yeah . . . He won't be back for while.

*Bruno bowed to the Professor*

Bruno: I beg your pardon for my younger brother's rudeness.

Professor Heine: . . . No, it is I who should apologize.

Bruno: Leonard . . . Despises the very notion of teachers. Our first tutor was exceptionally strict. As Leonard was never academically inclined, he in particular was at the mercy of the tutor's rod. He has reviled all manner of educators ever since.

*I was completely shocked when I heard that story*

Chrissy:*in her mind* That . . . That really happened? How awful.

Bruno: It's not that he thinks ill of you in particular -

Professor Heine: In that case . . . I'll have to teach him.

Bruno: Wha . . .?

Professor Heine: I am his tutor. I'll be the one to teach him that teachers are not the enemy.

*He went to the window, opened it, & jumped out of it. I screamed*

Chrissy: Professor!

Licht: N - No way! We're three floors up!

Bruno: Professor . . . Professor! MASTER!

Chrissy:*in her mind* U - Uh . . . "Master" . . .?


*It was getting dark & neither the Professor or Leo had returned. Bruno was getting frantic. I was also worried*

Bruno: Master! Leonard!

Maximilian: Y - Your Highness, please wait! The Royal Guard will conduct a search!

Licht: Eh, they'll be back in the morning. 'Cos they live here and all!

*Kai nodded*

Chrissy: You two could be a little worried!

*A few hours later, they were found by the guards & brought back to the palace*
