The Royal Tutor Vol 15

Rumors of Heine’s bloody connection to their father initially causes the princes’ trust in their tutor to waver. When the truth of how Heine came to be the royal tutor is fully brought to light, will the darkness of years past yield to a brighter future—together?

For the duration of Eins’s mysterious isolation, the young princes have been barred from seeing their older brother. But as Count Rosenberg grows more desperate to help his friend, he finally decides to allow a meeting-only to discover that Eins has vanished?!

After Prince Eins's engagement is called off, Professor Heine and the four princelings plan a get-well visit-only to be turned away at the gate by Rosenberg. Though the boys remain racked with worry, life and lessons at the palace must continue on. However, Bruno's discovery of an old photo in Heine's room might upend everything the boys think they know about the mysterious tutor...

The royal palace is bustling with successive arrivals, which is good news for lonely Leonhard! First, Beatrix comes seeking advice on how to cheer up her cuteness-starved fiancé. Then, young Prince Claude of Fonsein pays a diplomatic visit that pushes Leonhard's foreign-language skills to their limits. When Leonhard's dearest brother Bruno is next to arrive, everyone expects Leonhard to be elated...but the effusive prince is uncharacteristically reserved. Has their time apart soured the bonds of brotherly affection?!

With first Bruno and now Kai returning from their independent studies, the palace is getting lively again-much to the delight of their doting father! But the thrill of his brothers' return only seems to strengthen Leonhard's hostility toward Adele's betrothed, who threatens to break up their happy family and take his dear sister away! (...Many years from now-but still!) Leonhard has been studying the Fonsein language so he can give the young princeling a real piece of his mind in the boy's native tongue, but......

While the nature of Prince Eins's ailment remains a closely guarded secret, the younger princelings are plagued by an even greater mystery. Professor Heine's youthful appearance has always left his age in doubt, but new evidence suggests the royal tutor has been connected to their family for much longer than anyone might have guessed!

Established in the early seventeenth century following a bequest to the university by Sir William Sedley, Oxford's Sedleian Professorship of Natural Philosophy is one of the university's oldest professorships. In common with other such positions established around this time, such as the Savilian Professorships of Geometry and Astronomy, for example, its purpose was to provide centrally organised lectures on a specific subject. While the Professorship is now a high-profile research post in applied mathematics, it has previously been held by physicians, an astronomer, and several people in the eighteenth century whose credentials in natural philosophy are much less clear. This edited volume traces the varied history of the chair through the first four centuries of its existence, combining specialised contributions from historians of medicine, of science, of mathematics, and of universities, together with personal reminiscences of some of the more recent holders of the post.
