I Became the Tutor of the Royal Twins - Chapter 291
Chapter 291

—
A few days later, Sera finally left the temple.
She was about to strongly deny Helios’s suggestion to come pick her up, given the soaring popularity of the saintess since their relationship was revealed, but it was futile. Rosé and Ferre wouldn’t back down.
“There will be a lot of people that day. If the three of you come, it will only cause more commotion. Are you sure that’s okay?”
“Sera, we are the Imperial Family. We have a duty to show that the relationship between the Saintess and the Imperial Family is good through this opportunity!”
“Right! The people will be so happy to know that Sera and Hyung get along well!”
Rosé and Ferre were adamant, and for some reason, Helios did not try to stop them.
Far from dissuading them, he even tempted her by saying, “Sera, I also want to see you as soon as possible. Could you allow me to come?”
Moreover, the upcoming ‘title conferment ceremony’ and ‘safety’ at the palace were good excuses that Sera couldn’t help but agree to.
“There will be so many people waiting in front of Sera’s house!”
“Rosé and I heard from brother and Jean that a lot of fan letters have piled up in front of Sera’s house!”
“Sera, so stay in the safe palace for a few days.”
“At least until the title conferment ceremony.”
“You can go back to your house when it gets a bit quieter.”
“I agree with my siblings.”
Sera looked at Rosé, Ferre, and Helios standing at the entrance of the temple.
All three were dressed up elaborately.
Their clothes were far more splendid than usual, shining so brightly that anyone could confirm they were from the imperial family.
She knew that today’s event had some element of spectacle, but she hadn’t expected them to match the color of the dress they had prepared for her.
“Are you ready?”
Helios reached out his hand to Sera with a gentle smile.
Checking how many people were gathered by standing on tiptoe, Sera took a shallow breath and nodded solemnly.
“Yes.”
“Then let’s go.”
Following Helios, Sera slowly walked out of the temple.
As they approached the entrance of the temple, the murmuring and heat of the crowd could be felt.
And finally, when Sera stepped out of the temple, a deafening cheer erupted from everywhere.
“There’s the Saintess!”
“The Saintess is right behind His Majesty!”
At that moment, Sera truly understood what it was like to be a star.
From all around, people were shouting “Saintess!” and “Your Majesty!” looking at her with amazement.
The numerous crowd’s gaze was something Sera alone was not accustomed to.
Unlike herself, who felt embarrassed and awkward, Helios walked out elegantly with a gentle smile, while Rosé and Ferre seemed happy, waving their hands.
Fluttering their hands like butterflies, Rosé and Ferre approached Sera and whispered.
“Sera, I’m so proud.”
“Yeah. I’ve been proud of you since you were our teacher, Sera.”
“So Sera, smile a bit.”
“You’ll be in the newspaper tomorrow, so a beautiful expression would be better!”
Rosé and Ferre started waving both hands, beaming broadly.
Encouraged by the cute twins, the crowd’s response grew even more enthusiastic, and the sound of thunderous applause filled the square.
The imperial carriage parked right in front of the temple wasn’t far.
A knight opened the door of the carriage, and Helios took on the role of escorting Sera.
“Saintess, please get in.”
Kyaaaaah!
A burst of cheers roared instantly.
Just as Rosé and Ferre said, it would probably make the front page of the newspaper tomorrow.
But Sera, secretly pleased, lightly placed her hand on his.
“Yes, Your Majesty!”

Sera had been staying in a palace provided by Helios.
It was a different space from the temporary stay in the imperial palace when she had been there to seal Belzebuth.
It was bigger, more splendid. Perhaps it was because she was no longer just a tutor but the saintess who saved the empire, but still, Sera’s residence seemed too extravagant.
Rosé and Ferre expressed regret that Sera was not staying somewhere other than the detached palace.
However, Helios somehow managed to soothe them, and the two children showed no particular reaction other than pouting for a week.
“Sera, are you nervous again?”
“Sera, cheer up.”
Rosé and Ferre giggled while sitting on the wide sofa.
Dressed neatly and sitting up straight, Sera clearly looked tense to anyone observing.
“Sera, it’s nothing big. After the priests make some incredibly boring speeches, they’ll call the head of state.”
“And then someone will again make some incredibly long, boring speeches.”
“Then you’ll walk to the center of the great hall and kneel.”
“Hyung will then tap both shoulders with a long sword.”
“And then it’ll be over.”
Rosé and Ferre got off the sofa and mimicked Helios knighting Sera with long swords.
At their adorable act, Sera’s tension broke, and she burst into laughter.
“My nervousness really flew away.”
