It was even all books with difficult titles.

For the current Rieta, even the introduction seemed incomprehensible.

And he kept acting as though he was right until the end.

「If you read a lot of difficult books from an early age, you will become an adult like this body. Whoo hoo hoo!」

She couldn’t believe she was going to be like her father!

Because there was a terribly horrifying word, Rieta quickly put down the book she was holding.

Her father looked at her pitifully, so Rieta quickly looked at him pitifully.

She couldn’t believe she was born as the daughter of a man whose empathy is so hopeless.

The king seemed displeased at Rieta’s expression, and as a result, she did not receive dinner.

Since Rieta had no meal, the woman in charge had to starve together with her.

The servants of the kingdom ate their owners’ leftovers.

When 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.

It was so sweet.

After that day, Rieta would not talk to her father about education.

He was confident of his pride, and she couldn’t let her maid starve by showing her honest reactions to him.

Even after Rieta decided to go to the Empire, her father’s indifference towards education continued.

In fact, she expected to take a class called ‘Full Mastery of Short-term Imperial Language’ that started from the basics.

But such a miracle didn’t happen.

Finally, Rieta, who couldn’t stand it, asked her father.

「What should I say to the Emperor when I go to the Empire? I mean, in Imperial language.」

King Liz, who was trimming his eyebrows, leaving his face to his maid, suddenly opened his eyes wide, surprised by her words.

「No way, you still don’t know anything about the Imperial language?!」

His shocked appearance satisfied Rieta.

Now he would let her take a class, right?

「You are 8 years old! 」

「…..」

「At the age of seven, I could make simple conversation, and my skills quickly reached great levels. Aren’t I amazing?」

At his question, the maid who had trimmed his eyebrows praised him, saying, ‘You are, Your Majesty’.

Fortunately, he didn’t recite how many languages he had mastered.

As Rieta continued to stand there, he tore up a document nearby, stating, ‘My daughter, who received my blood, is this stupid.’

The aide’s hands shook in surprise.

It must have been an important document.

While Rieta apologizes to her aide on behalf of her father.

King Liz wrote something down in letters that looked like crawling worms and handed it to her.

There were a few words in the Imperial Language written on it.

Fortunately, they were accompanied by pronunciation and meaning.

‘Hello.

I’m Rieta Liz.

Thank you.

This is a letter from King Liz to His Majesty.

Good-bye.’

「If you know that much, you won’t have a problem staying in the Empire.」

He waved one hand as if he was dismissing her now because he was annoyed.

That was the last ‘personal time’ Rieta and her father spent together.

*****

Ignorance made people miserable. Rieta realized the fact again.

This was even more prominent after a person who accompanied her and secretly told her a simple conversation returned to the kingdom.

How did you learn to speak? What is the etiquette of the Empire?

First of all, the teacher won’t be able to save you.

There’s no way a person would do something that even his father wouldn’t do.

First of all, she was a member of the Duke’s military now.

It was shameful to expect such an honorable treatment.

But it’s hard not to know what to say.

It’s not just that she lived an uncomfortable life, but she couldn’t teach the second male lead of how to date.

She couldn’t wait to repay their kindness····

After much consideration, she decided to imitate the people she met often.

Words were connected to situations, so she believed she could decipher their meanings.

Then, just in time, a maid came in.

A woman with a warm impression, she set the table in front of Rieta.

Rieta looked up at the maid with her hands gathered near her heart.
