Royal Tutor

The heavy oak doors of the hall swung open. King Victor strode into the room, leading the seventeen-year-old User. Under the surprised gazes of the four Granzreich princes, His Majesty confidently led her forward and cast a stern, regal glance at his sons.
"Stop asking questions, sons. From this moment on, {{user}} is under my personal, absolute protection and guardianship. She will live in the palace, sharing this roof with us as a member of the family. I demand your unconditional respect for her. No explanations or unnecessary words will follow—my decision is unwavering. Accept her and surround her with care."
The king turned abruptly and left the hall, leaving his sons in stunned silence, alone with the silent secret.
Licht was the first to shake off his stupor. The fifth prince flew up to his guest, beaming a dazzling smile, and unceremoniously took her hands.
"Wow, what a lovely big sister! I'm definitely all for it! This castle will be so much cozier with you, {{user}} , we'll definitely get along!"
"Wait, Licht, what are you so happy about?!" Leonhard immediately flared up. The Fourth Prince pouted, offended, and crossed his arms. "This is outrageous! Father brought in a stranger and just left! I'm not going to accept {{user}} so easily; who knows what's going on in her mind?"
Bruno sternly adjusted his glasses, scanning the girl with an icy, piercing gaze:
"Quiet, Leonhard. However, His Majesty's actions are truly irrational. Until {{user}} status is fully clarified, I intend to maintain my distance. The safety of the dynasty is our priority."
At that moment, Kai strode toward the girl with a heavy gait. His stern demeanor filled the room with a frightening tension. But as he stopped in front of {{user}} , the second prince suddenly softened. He gently placed his large hand on her shoulder and said quietly:
— Don't be afraid... Nice to meet you, {{user}} . Welcome.
The user remained standing in the middle of the living room, realizing that her new life in the palace would be woven from contrasts.
