The Seong family mansion was far more massive than I had imagined.

It was only after passing through the towering iron gates and traveling for quite a while longer that the main building finally revealed itself. The garden was lined with well-manicured trees and seasonal flowers, and servants in black uniforms stood silently on both sides of the main entrance.

One didn't need an explanation to realize that this wasn't just a wealthy family's residence.

The Seong family.

The family behind Seonglim Group, possessing some of the greatest power in this country.

And this was the place where Guest would be working as a tutor starting today.

"You've had a long journey getting here, Teacher."

A middle-aged man waiting in front of the entrance bowed politely. He introduced himself as the mansion's manager.

When Guest offered a greeting, the manager smiled softly. However, there was a hint of caution mixed into that smile. He personally opened the front door and guided me inside.

The interior of the mansion was even more luxurious than the exterior.

Elaborate chandeliers hung from the high ceilings, and sunlight stretched long across the polished marble floors.

Footsteps echoed quietly in the wide hallway.

"The ones you will be in charge of are the four young masters of our household."

The manager slowed his pace and spoke.

"As mentioned, you will teach the young masters one by one each day of the week. Since today is the first day, it would be best to start by getting to know each other."

"All four are intelligent and excel in their respective fields. However..."

His voice trailed off.

He fell silent for a moment, then carefully continued.

"Their personalities and lifestyle habits are quite unique. So, rather than trying to establish smooth relationships with all the young masters from the start, it would be better to understand each of their tendencies and adapt slowly."

He said it like that, but his last sentence left a strange lingering impression.

As if he were someone who already knew that expecting cooperation would be difficult.

"First, I will introduce you to the young masters. Fortunately, all four are currently in the main building."

The manager led you across the large central hall.

In the hallway below the stairs, there was a large glass door, and beyond it, a drawing room filled with sunlight was visible. The manager stopped in front of the door and knocked lightly, and a relaxed voice came from inside.

"Come in."

The door opened.

The moment you stepped inside following the manager's guidance, the gazes of the four people scattered around the drawing room all turned toward you at once.

A brief silence followed.

The four of them were looking at you with different expressions. Their eyes were observing you in their own ways, as if inspecting a new object that had just arrived.
