章節 7: A Business Opportunity!
The time slowly started to pass after the banquet. Albert's life didn't change much. He started to learn how to write and read but it wasn't that hard for him since he already had a rough idea about writing. And the numbers were pretty much the same as in the other world but with different characters.
So he learned to read, write, and basic counting in just a month. Further spreading his reputation as a genius which was already the talk of the capital city.
Besides learning, he also improved his knitting skills when he had time for it. And he also finished the jumper for his father.
Like this, a month passed.

"You are a genius, Prince Albert!"
Said a man in his thirties to Albert who just finished writing on a parchment.
"No, no, I just..."
'I already knew how to write in my last life.'
Finished his sentence in his head.
"You don't have to be humble Prince Albert!"
Said the man without hesitation.
"You learned how to write, read and count when you are just one year old."
Even if he didn't teach Prince Albert a lot he was still proud of him.
"Thank you, teacher Kris!"
"No, no! You shouldn't call me your teacher!"
Said Kris with a resolute face.
"I didn't deserve to be your teacher."
Albert smiled knowing how stubborn Kris can be.
"At least let me thank you for teaching me."
Kris was relieved a little.
"Naturally it was my honor that I could teach the crown prince of my country!"
'He has the honor of knights but he is a scholar.'
Thought Albert while recalling what he knew about the man.
Kris grew up in a house of knights and they trained him as a knight. But because he was the second son, he didn't get anything from the estate. So he became a wandering knight. And somehow while wandering he learned how to write, read and count.
And when he arrived in the capital city he pledged his sword to the king. And became one of the royal guards one highly respected member. And since the King wanted to find a man who can protect his son while teaching him, he was the best choice. So he became the Crown Prince's first knight.
*Knock*
*Knock*
The knocking on the door woke Albert up from his daydreaming.
"Come in!"
The door opened and revealed his mother and her old maid Honora. Who was carrying a tray of the crown prince's new 'invention': sandwiches.
"Hello, mother!"
Seeing his mother Albert greeted her as excitedly as ever.
"Hi, Al! Did you finish studying for today?"
Asked Gisella since he didn't want to interrupt his lessons.
"Yes! And in fact I have already learned how to write, read and count!"
Gisella became a little surprised. She always knew that her son is way smarter than his peers. But learning how to read and write was on a different level smart.
"Oh, my son is a genius!"
Declared Gisella while hugging her son. And looked at his son's knight and teacher at the same time.
"Thank you for teaching my son even though he is just one year old!"
She thanked him sincerely. Since, when Albert asked her to bring his studies forward, she was a bit afraid that nobody would teach a one-year-old without ulterior motives.
"Thank you, my Queen! But I can't take credit for his achievements since he learned a lot of things by himself!"
Kris bowed a little and explained.
'Just as stubborn as Al said.'
The Queen smiled meaningfully and thought.
"Oh, before I forgot!"
She looked at Arthur and said.
"The chefs made your new receipt and they were blown away by it!"
Gisella said while pointing at the sandwiches on the table. Wich were on the table laid by Honora.
"Oh really?!"
Albert escaped from the clutches and walked to the table and sat down while eying the delicious-looking sandwiches.
"Come on everybody let's try it out!"
He encouraged everyone in the room!
"Okay!"
His mother enthusiastically replied. But Kris and Honora needed a few minutes to convince them to eat from the same table.
"Hmmm not bad."
Said Albert since he liked it but it was still not as good as in the modern are.
"It's delicious!"
His mother complimented the dish. While completely ignoring the etiquette and stuffing her mouth with food. Looking like a hamster.
"I think the best part in it, is this white cream."
Analyzed Honora, who was the oldest in the group. And the opposite of her lady she ate slowly savoring every bite.
"Indeed, I have never eaten something like this before! What is the name of it Prince Albert?"
Said Kris who ate all kinds of food while traveling but he never tasted something like this before.
"The white cream is called mayonnaise and it's made from egg, oil, vinegar, and salt!"
"Hmm as expected prince Albert!"
Praised Kris.
After they ate all the sandwiches on the tray, Honora brought some tea.
"Al, what do you plan to do with knitting?"
Gabriella suddenly asked surprising Albert.
"What do you mean mother?"
He looked at her strangely.
"It just that every noble lady even my mother is asking about the clothes we wore at the banquet!"
Hearing his mother's complaints, he started to weight his options.
On one side he could release the technique for free to the masses as he originally planned. But if he did like this he couldn't really get anything from it personally other than the admiration of the common people.
'On the other hand, if I sell the clothes myself I could get a lot of benefits.'
The most obvious benefit of this method was money. But it had other benefits too like building connections and earning a name for himself.
'And in the end, the method of knitting would still reach the common people.'
After a little bit more thinking, Albert decided on the best possible choice.
"Mother I decided what to do. But I need to talk with father first!"
Gabriella pouted after hearing his answer.
"Why are you acting always so mysterious?! At least tell your mother, what you want to do!"
Looking at his pouting mother, Albert couldn't win so he just gave up.
"Okay, okay I tell you!"
He waited and stopped talking for a moment making the scene more dramatic. After a few moments, he opened his mouth and declared!
"I am going to establish a company!"
