With this matter settled, it seemed like it would be the end of the family dinner.

But before it ended, Lin Fan couldn't help asking, "Are there also tutors prepared for…"

He didn't finish his sentence, but it was clear what he was implying.

The Lin Astral Emperor looked at him with an amused smile before saying, "Aren't you going to take lessons together with the two of them? Do you need me to hire separate tutors?"

Lin Fan shook his head when he heard this and said, "Thank you, great grandfather."

The Lin Astral Emperor nodded with the same amused smile without saying a thing, but the look in his eyes…were a bit strange.

It was as if he could already see himself holding Lin Fan's child, whether that was a child with Angela or Zi Ling.

Lin Fan felt a strange feeling when he saw this gaze, but he had an idea what this gaze was.

He had encountered this same gaze in his past life, but it was in a different context.

He was the only son of the Lin Family and had never settled down with anyone. They had been anxious to see him leave an heir for them, but he never seriously dated anyone or married anyone, so that never happened.

So they had given him the same gaze as the Lin Astral Emperor, but there wasn't as much familial love as the Lin Astral Emperor.

They just wanted him to have a child so that the future of the Lin Family would be secured.

This feeling unsettled Lin Fan a bit as it reminded him of a past that he didn't want to remember, but he quickly calmed his heart. This was his past life and now in his current life, he no longer had that same family.

The family that he had now was completely different from his cold family from before. This was what a real family should be like.

What Lin Fan didn't notice was the way that Lin Xue was looking at him.

It was a way that a sister shouldn't be looking at her brother…

…

The next day.

"You want us to take lessons with you?" Angela asked in a surprised voice.

Lin Fan nodded before explaining the situation behind this.

When he reached the part of the Zi Stellar Kingdom, he could see an excited look appearing in Zi Ling's eyes that caused him to reveal a faint smile.

When he finished explaining the situation to them, Angela was nodding in a daze while Zi Ling had an excited look on her face.

To the side, Yuki and Momonga just sat there with different expressions as well.

Lin Fan left the two of them to their thing and turned to Momonga and Yuki to ask, "Are you guys alright without the lessons?"

Momonga was the first one to answer as he just gave a nod in response before saying, "Do you want me to help teach her as well?"

Lin Fan nodded with a smile without saying anything else.

Yuki couldn't help revealing a confused look when she heard this, but she didn't get a chance to ask anything as Momonga said with a nod and a smile, "Alright, I'll drill what's necessary into her head."

Then without waiting, he took Yuki by the shoulder and pulled her away.

Yuki had a clear unwilling look on her face and wanted to follow Angela, but Angela just shook her head before giving her a wave of the hand. Seeing this, Yuki had no choice but to let herself be dragged away by Momonga.

Once they were gone, Lin Fan turned to the two girls and gave a bow before saying, "Shall we?"

The two of them looked at each other before looking back to Lin Fan with smiles and giving a nod.

Over the next week, they went through many difficult classes with the tutors that had been prepared.

The first lesson that they learned was…etiquette.

Even if Angela was the queen of the spirits and Zi Ling was the princess of the Zi Stellar Kingdom, there were still many things that they had to learn.

It was easier for Zi Ling since she had been the princess of the Zi Stellar Kingdom. However, there were still unique etiquette rules to the Lin Astral Empire, so she had to learn those.

As for Angela…

While she was the queen of the spirits, her etiquette…was severely lacking. It was only slightly better than the average person and that was only because of the grace and nobility that she had as the queen of the spirits.

So there was no doubt that there were many things that had to be improved on.

For example, her eating habits.

The way that she ate shocked the tutors and they couldn't help teaching her from the fundamentals.

While this annoyed Angela very much since she didn't like all these strict rules about eating, she still followed along the lesson since this was what Lin Fan wanted.

In fact, she actually listened more than usual because she didn't want to embarrass Lin Fan.

She knew that since they were in human society, she would have to follow along with the rules of human society.

So she did her best to learn what they were teaching, but it still took a long time in the end.

The final tutors that they received at the end of their training was a dance tutor.

Since it was a debut banquet, it was held as a debut ball. Naturally, as the star of the show, Lin Fan would be expected to dance and it would be expected that Angela and Zi Ling would be his partners.

Since that was the case, they would also have to learn to dance.

It was much easier in Zi Ling's case since she had already been taught how to dance as a young child since she was the Zi Stellar Kingdom's princess. This was something that had been mandatory in her training.

Though since she hadn't done anything like that in a while, it was good for her to take a refresher course.

But Lin Fan also hadn't learned anything like this either since he had just been a normal person.

Well, the Lin Fan from this world.

The Lin Fan from earth had learned how to ball dance before as the young scion of the Lin Family, but the dance from earth was completely different from the dance in this place.

So he still had to learn from scratch.

But the experience from earth definitely made it easier for him.

The one that struggled the most was Angela who had never learned anything like this before.

The spirits didn't have the same customs as humans after all.

But there was one good thing that came out of this.

Since this was a lesson that required both a male and female partner, Angela was able to monopolize Lin Fan during the entire lesson.

Zi Ling got the choreography down very quickly since she was already used to this kind of dancing. After learning with the tutor for a bit, she was allowed to practice on her own.

As for Lin Fan and Angela, both of whom were considered complete beginners, they had to work with each other to learn this.

So they held hands and danced around whenever they were at the lesson, much to the envy of Zi Ling.

She knew that she shouldn't be envious, but she just couldn't help it seeing them like this.

Angela, on the other hand, had a wide smile on her face.

There might have even been a few times where she "tripped" a few times by accident just to fall into Lin Fan's arms.

But Lin Fan didn't dare assume this with what kind of personality he thought she had.

He just did what he should and caught her each time.

Just like this, the tutoring time passed by quickly and soon two weeks had passed.

It was only the day before the debut ball that Lin Fan and the two girls were given a passing grade by the tutors.

They had wanted to keep Lin Fan and the two girls in training for as long as possible since there were still things to improve on, but they knew that was impossible, so they did everything that they could to help them cram this information in their mind.

As for the rest of the day, they were taken away to prepare for the debut ball.

They had to pick out their clothes, get ready for the ball, pick out their defenses, and all kinds of other things.

So they were kept busy right up to the debut ball.

It was only when there was an hour before the ball that Lin Fan and the others met again. This time, Momonga and Yuki had also been brought into the palace to participate in the ball.

The Lin Astral Emperor knew that these two were important enough to Lin Fan that he brought them with him to the Lin Astral Empire, so he wasn't going to treat them poorly.

He would allow them to be in the debut ball as supporters for Lin Fan and the two girls.

When they met again, Lin Fan couldn't help looking at Yuki with a strange look.

That was because she looked…completely exhausted.

It was as if something had completely drained her will to live with the blank look in her eyes.

Lin Fan looked at Momonga for an explanation, but he just revealed a smile without saying anything.
