In his chambers, Steve looked seriously at the large mirror attached to the dressing.

The face reflected in the mirror has shoulder length light pinkish hair with red ruby colour eyes and a chiseled and beautiful face.

The more Stev- no Will looked at himself the more his face frowned.

"System, why am I so beautiful?" He asked seriously.

[....]

There was silence in room at his question for a minute.

[.... What?]

"Why am I so beautiful?" He asked again without changing the serious expression on his face.

[.... Host, have you finally awakened to your pervated fetishes? I wouldn't mind if it was any other fetish but narcissism is a little difficult for me to accept as it also includes me.].

"Jeez... Stoping joking. We are having a serious conversation here, you know." Will said with a helpless expression on his face.

[I would say, it's your fault with starting with that question, host. Anyway, What did you meant to ask?]

"I was asking, why am I so beautiful even when my charm stat is only at five? Though it is not nation toppling beauty like I saw in webnovels, it should still be in 30s to 40s right?" He said while stroking his face in the mirror.

[Sigh, host you have read too many novels. Please stop being delusional. 5 stat point is the limit for charm stat.]

"Uhh?" A dumbfounded expression appeared on his face,"Really?"

[Sheesh... Host. Like I said 5 is the limit of the charm or any physical stat in particular.]

[Didn't you see your stamina maxed at 5, host? If you decide to forcefully invest more karma into it you will only get weird mutation host like a flower bud growing out of your head or something for photosynthesis.]

[The only way to increase your charm after 5 is through supernatural methods like charms and enhancements.]

At this a disappointed expression appeared on William's face,"Here goes my nation toppling plans....."

………………

"A knight is not invincible. So, it is necessary to have adaptability in unnecessary circumstances in wars like retre-"

"Aaaaaaah!" An excited scream woke Jamie from his focused state.

He immediately looked up to see William, his newest student, dozing off while a group of female servants were excitedly looking at him through the other balcony on the side.

A tired and helpless smile appeared on his face like saying, 'Again?'.

It has been a week and half since he is accepted will as his squire. 

He was incredibly talented or to say monstrous in sword, quickly learning the Lannister's sword technique in a week, but when he started teaching him tactics of war and etiquette of knights he always dozed off.

With a sigh, he stood up from the couch and blocked the view of the balcony they were on by closing the curtains.

Standing in front of will, he couldn't help but seriously admire this child's audacity.

He jumped on just on a chance to revive his family even when there was a high chance of dying in war. Morever, he is audacious or stupid enough to forget the status between the two and started calling him master and even joked regularly! 

Even though he was the one to request him to drop the formalities, he adapted too quickly. If it was another highborn he would have executed him long ago.

But it's because of this that he is fond of him. The liberating and parental feeling of being a mentor not a superior.

Jamie didn't have kids even when he was well past his age in this world because he knows his wish will be frowned upon.

But if there were any he would have hoped they would be like him, stupid and adorable.

Thinking this he couldn't help but stroke his head, "Wake up will, it is not night time yet." 

It started with a light stroke before shaking slowly to instead pinching his cheeks, whatever he did will didn't wake up.

Just as he was about to sigh again, he heard a knock on door.

Before he could react, Will stood up and was facing towards the door with a smile.

A dumbfounded expression appeared on Jamie's face as he turned towards the door with his mouth opened.

There stood the sole heir to the throne, according to Jamie, with an embarrassed smile on her face, "I hope I am not interfering in the lesson, Sir Jamie."

"Not at all! We were just about to conclude the lesson anyway." Before Jamie could even open his mouth, William answered.

Jamie just nodded, too confused to complain.

"Lady Daenerys, how have your wound been since then?" 

"It has recovered. That's why I was just here to return the ointment Sir Jamie gave me." "

"How is your training going, Sir William." She asked with a look around the room.

"Oh, it has been a breeze, I am already on the verge of becoming a fully fledged knight."

A surprised expression appeared on her face as she turned towards Jamie for conformation. William also turned towards him.

"Uh? oh yes, He did learn the swordsmanship but the tactics and etiquette....."

Jamie trailed off as he saw William's face more miserable than he has seen in his whole week with him.

Suddenly, light seems to have brightened a dark corner of his memories, Jamie remembered William's true age.

He looked at Daenerys and then the miserable and pleading face of William with face full of wonder.

Suddenly, his smile brightened,"....but it seems Will has already memorized the tactics haven't you, William."

Will's charismatic smile returned immediately, " Of course, I have already memorized everything."

He said while sneaking glances at Daenerys. 

Jamie's smile deepened,"Then it wouldn't be difficult for you to give me a demonstration tomorrow, would it." 

William nodded confidently. Jamie turned towards Daenerys.

"My princess, if it isn't a problem would you like to come tomorrow too to watch the demonstration?" 

A panicked expression appeared on Will's face as he hurriedly interrupted the conversation,"Master! It would be too much off a hassle for the princess! It is just a small demonstration of a knight!"

Jamie wasn't flustered and maintained his smile,"What are you saying? You're not a knight you're my heir! And the next in line to protect the king. It is appropriate for monarch to herself check your skill. Isn't it Princess?"

Jamie turned towards Daenerys with a smile. William also turned towards her with an anxious expression.

Daenerys has long noticed everything through her excellent empathy. 

She looked at will's nervous smile and couldn't help but find it adorable.

Controlling her lips from curling into a smile at his nervous behavior, she answered,"Yes, Sir Jamie. You do make a good point. I will surely come tomorrow." 

A despair ridden expression appeared on William's face making Daenerys a little guilty.

She hurriedly returned the ointment and rushed out as if escaping from something.

Jamie, looking at their cute behavior, with a satisfied smile also left the balcony.

That night, William memorized an entire book for the first time in his both life's.

Sorry folks, For abruptly changing the name from Steve to William.

No, it is not foreshadowing to something major but just because it was ruining my fantasy vibe as I was writing. Well, stay safe.
