nIt was even all books with difficult titles.
nFor the current Rieta, even the introduction seemed incomprehensible.
nAnd he kept acting as though he was right until the end.
n「If you read a lot of difficult books from an early age, you will become an adult like this body. Whoo hoo hoo!」
nShe couldn’t believe she was going to be like her father!
nBecause there was a terribly horrifying word, Rieta quickly put down the book she was holding.
nHer father looked at her pitifully, so Rieta quickly looked at him pitifully.
nShe couldn’t believe she was born as the daughter of a man whose empathy is so hopeless.
nThe king seemed displeased at Rieta’s expression, and as a result, she did not receive dinner.
nSince Rieta had no meal, the woman in charge had to starve together with her.
n
n
nThe servants of the kingdom ate their owners’ leftovers.
nWhen she apologized to the maid, the maid took out a small bag of sugar hidden in her apron and poured it into Rieta’s mouth.
nIt was so sweet.
nAfter that day, Rieta would not talk to her father about education.
nHe was confident of his pride, and she couldn’t let her maid starve by showing her honest reactions to him.
nEven after Rieta decided to go to the Empire, her father’s indifference towards education continued.
nIn fact, she expected to take a class called ‘Full Mastery of Short-term Imperial Language’ that started from the basics.
nBut such a miracle didn’t happen.
nFinally, Rieta, who couldn’t stand it, asked her father.
n「What should I say to the Emperor when I go to the Empire? I mean, in Imperial language.」
nKing Liz, who was trimming his eyebrows, leaving his face to his maid, suddenly opened his eyes wide, surprised by her words.
n「No way, you still don’t know anything about the Imperial language?!」
nHis shocked appearance satisfied Rieta.
nNow he would let her take a class, right?
n「You are 8 years old! 」
n「…..」
n「At the age of seven, I could make simple conversation, and my skills quickly reached great levels. Aren’t I amazing?」
nAt his question, the maid who had trimmed his eyebrows praised him, saying, ‘You are, Your Majesty’.
nFortunately, he didn’t recite how many languages he had mastered.
nAs Rieta continued to stand there, he tore up a document nearby, stating, ‘My daughter, who received my blood, is this stupid.’
nThe aide’s hands shook in surprise.
nIt must have been an important document.
nWhile Rieta apologizes to her aide on behalf of her father.
nKing Liz wrote something down in letters that looked like crawling worms and handed it to her.
nThere were a few words in the Imperial Language written on it.
nFortunately, they were accompanied by pronunciation and meaning.
n‘Hello.
nI’m Rieta Liz.
nThank you.
nThis is a letter from King Liz to His Majesty.
nGood-bye.’
n「If you know that much, you won’t have a problem staying in the Empire.」
nHe waved one hand as if he was dismissing her now because he was annoyed.
nThat was the last ‘personal time’ Rieta and her father spent together.
n*****
nIgnorance made people miserable. Rieta realized the fact again.
nThis was even more prominent after a person who accompanied her and secretly told her a simple conversation returned to the kingdom.
nHow did you learn to speak? What is the etiquette of the Empire?
nFirst of all, the teacher won’t be able to save you.
nThere’s no way a person would do something that even his father wouldn’t do.
n
n
nFirst of all, she was a member of the Duke’s military now.
nIt was shameful to expect such an honorable treatment.
nBut it’s hard not to know what to say.
nIt’s not just that she lived an uncomfortable life, but she couldn’t teach the second male lead of how to date.
nShe couldn’t wait to repay their kindness····
nAfter much consideration, she decided to imitate the people she met often.
nWords were connected to situations, so she believed she could decipher their meanings.
nThen, just in time, a maid came in.
nA woman with a warm impression, she set the table in front of Rieta.
nRieta looked up at the maid with her hands gathered near her heart.
