What Really Happened?

All of these children willingly chose to follow Alexander Hayes and his wife, so that very night, they were secretly relocated to one of Alexander Hayes's private estates on the outskirts of the capital.

This estate is where they have spent the past six months learning language and literacy. After careful selection, the top-performing elite students will set sail for France under Edward's supervision, where a private elementary school will be established. French teachers will be hired to instruct them, and each child will receive specialized courses tailored to their interests and talents.

Once these children complete their studies, they will bring back knowledge and equipment from various fields to Alexander Hayes's fief, becoming the pioneers of industrial development and helping Alexander Hayes and Lily Evans build a powerful industrial empire.

Busy settling the children, Lily Evans was utterly exhausted, both physically and mentally. Seeing this, Alexander Hayes felt a deep ache in his heart. "Darling, soon you'll be teaching at the Mathematics Institute and also helping the children with language studies. It's truly hard work for you."

Lily Evans smiled and replied, "Those who are capable do more—there's no way around it. Before Edward leaves, I've asked him to introduce a few people he knows who can speak Sinicized languages to come to the capital. When they arrive, they'll be responsible for teaching the children language, and I'll assign a few teachers to handle literacy and Chinese character writing."

Alexander Hayes nodded and smiled, "My dear, you really think of everything. With helpers, you won't be so worn out."

After dinner, the couple took a stroll in the Prince's Manor. They hadn't walked for long when Sean Hayes came running over, visibly agitated. "Your Highness, Your Ladyship, someone from Moonlight Pavilion just reported that Sam Evans got into a fight there!"

"What? Uncle Sam got into a fight at Moonlight Pavilion?" Lily Evans was startled and looked at Sean Hayes. "Uncle Sam is always so honest—how could he get into a fight out of the blue?"

Sean Hayes shook his head. "I don't know the details, but Moonlight Pavilion probably sent someone to report as soon as something happened."

"Let's go, I have to see for myself!" Lily Evans couldn't stop worrying about Sam Evans and decided to head straight to Moonlight Pavilion.
