I Became A Black Merchant In Another World

The Emperor had really given me quite the blow.

People might envy me for becoming the Crown Prince's mentor, thinking it means I’m on the way to becoming a major power in the future.

‘Isn’t it easy to walk around with the boss’s son?’

And I have to do all the work while at it.

“Erica, isn’t His Majesty being a bit too much?”@@novelbin@@

Erica rubbed her eyes as she answered.

“What do you mean, ‘too much’?”

“Well, there are Duke Visconti and plenty of other wonderful nobles. Does it make sense for a mere baron like me to become the Crown Prince's mentor?”

In Joseon, although nominally, the Prime Minister, the Left and Right Ministers, also served as the Crown Prince’s mentors.

The reason for this was that educating the Crown Prince was considered the most honorable and noble task. The highest-ranking officials believed that the most important task, educating the heir, should not be neglected.

Officials from the Crown Prince's educational institution had plenty of privileges and perks.

One could see it as valuing Crown Prince education, or alternatively, it could be seen as the king and officials grooming a future political partner.

And now, the Emperor of the Toscana Empire has made me the Crown Prince’s mentor and secret friend.
