Plot

Heine Wittgenstein, a man often mistaken for a small child, has been summoned to the royal palace of Glanzreich by the king to act as the royal tutor to the four younger princes—Kai, Bruno, Leonhard, and Licht–turning them into capable candidates to the throne. However, he finds his task difficult because of the complicated personalities of his charges, who had managed to cause every tutor they had to quit.

Characters

Main characters
Heine Wittgenstein (ハイネ・ヴィトゲンシュタイン, Haine Witogenshutain)
Voiced by: Keisuke Ueda[5] (Japanese); Micah Solusod[6] (English)
The titular royal tutor. Heine is an adult man who is often mistaken for a child due to his short stature. In contrast to his childlike looks, he's a very serious person who doesn't show much emotion, except when it comes to being mistaken for a child. He has a multitude of talents, and is stern but kind towards his charges. Not much is known about his past, except that he apparently knew the king long before he came to the palace to take up his duties, used to tutor at a church (he still does), and was a violent man in the past. He also was accused of being a criminal in the past, which turns out to be a false accusation.
Kai von Glanzreich (カイ・フォン・グランツライヒ, Kai Fon Gurantsuraihi)
Voiced by: Yūya Asato[5] (Japanese); Daman Mills[6] (English)
The 17-year-old second prince, nicknamed "The Glaring Prince". He has a reputation of being aloof and scary, and it's rumored that he was kicked out of the military academy for getting into brawls. As it turns out, he was suspended because he beat a student who bullied and abused his brother Bruno. He's actually a kindhearted, introverted young man who's bad at social interactions and likes cute and soft things. He likes Heine because he's the first tutor to actually talk to him and because he thinks of him as a cute pet. He is mistaken as scary because he has trouble speaking and often looks as if he is glaring due to his naturally sharp eyes. In the later chapters of the manga, Kai has returned to Military Academy and is currently away on a training trip.
Bruno von Glanzreich (ブルーノ・フォン・グランツライヒ, Burūno Fon Gurantsuraihi)
Voiced by: Yūto Adachi[5] (Japanese); Christopher Wehkamp[6] (English)
The 16-year-old third prince, nicknamed "The Browbeating Brainiac Prince". He's considered to be a child prodigy and a genius. At first, he's dismissive of Heine because he never went to university and assumed that there's nothing that he could teach him, but his attitude changes when Heine beats him soundly in all the challenges he imposes on him, such as chess and mathematics. He starts to idolize him after that and calls him "master", much to Heine's chagrin. In the later chapters of the manga, he has left the palace to travel to his admired professor's country as a consort.
Leonhard von Glanzreich (レオンハルト・フォン・グランツライヒ, Reonharuto Fon Gurantsuraihi)
Voiced by: Daisuke Hirose[5] (Japanese); Alejandro Saab[6] (English)
The 15-year-old fourth prince, nicknamed "The Everest-Pride Prince". He considers himself the most beautiful person on the continent. However, it's quickly revealed that behind his haughty demeanor, he is actually a very childish person prone to sulking and running away from his problems. He's a slow learner and has an intense hatred of teachers because he was abused by them, though this slowly starts to change because of Heine's influence. He looks up to his older brother Bruno. He is extremely athletic and appears to love torte. Although he is not too intelligent, his simplistic way of thinking actually helps in creating solutions to certain problems. He often acts as a tsundere, pretending to be mean but in actuality wanting to be paid attention to and particularly enjoys being praised.
Licht von Glanzreich (リヒト・フォン・グランツライヒ, Rihito Fon Gurantsuraihi)
Voiced by: Shouta Aoi[5] (Japanese); Stephen Sanders[6] (English)
The 14-year-old fifth and youngest prince, nicknamed "The Playboy Prince". He's very cheerful and easy-going and is fond of being surrounded by beautiful women. He has a tendency to sneak out into town, because of his secret job as a waiter at a café. He's surprisingly a perceptive and serious young man despite his flamboyant image. He occasionally clashes with Bruno.

Voiced by: Daisuke Ono (Japanese); J. Michael Tatum[8] (English)

The princes unanimously agree Heine is unneeded and order him to leave, but he refuses, instead forcing them to attend 1 on 1 meetings to assess their personalities and academic abilities. Fifteen year old Leonhard is by far the most troubling due to his angry childishness, deep mistrust of tutors and habit of running away from anything educational. From stealing Leonhard’s diary Heine learns Leonhard is actually highly emotional, afraid and full of self-hatred for his lack of confidence and intelligence. Leonhard eventually agrees to take a general knowledge quiz. Heine asks him to attend a mandatory meeting later, and then has Leonhard sent his favourite chocolate cake for finishing the quiz. Leonhard admits despite stealing his diary Heine isn’t so bad, for a tutor.

Realising Heine might be the only tutor smarter than he is Bruno develops a hero worship and starts calling him Master Heine. Next is fourteen year old Licht, an excitable airhead famous for his playboy lifestyle and popularity with women. When he fails to distract Heine with his multiple girlfriends he fills in Heine’s test. Heine suspects Licht is smarter than he acts. The last prince is seventeen year old Kai, a quiet, serious boy with a reputation for violence after an incident at military academy. However, after finding him playing with his three year old sister Adele and family dog Shadow Heine realises he is merely socially awkward with naturally glaring eyes and in truth is obsessed with cute things like puppies. Heine decides he failed by relying on gossip about the princes reputations and needs to get to know them better himself.

His brothers reassure him he excels at physical skills like sports and hunting, but Leonhard blames Heine and flees on his horse. Heine learns from the others Leonhard was always a slow learner, but their first tutor was an ambitious, abusive man who bullied Leonhard for making him look bad in front of King Viktor, causing Leonhard to despise tutors. Heine rides after Leonhard, his smaller body weight making him the first man ever to catch Leonhard in a race. Heine apologises for Leonhards past abuse but promises him he is nothing like that tutor, and if Leonhard lets him he will help him improve.
