May smiled back, "I want to have a chat with you, Princess Jennie."
"Well, then, let's hope that we can have a nice chat," Jennie replied with a smile.
The two of them quickly engaged in the talk about several matters. Although the cultures of the two sides of the land were different, there were still a lot of similarities.
Before long, several hours had passed and the two of them managed to talk about a lot of things.
"Princess Jennie, I always find things in this kingdom to be very interesting. What I really want to know the most is about culture. It seems to be very different from the kingdom where I come from," May stated calmly.
"There are indeed some differences," Jennie lightly tapped the table. "I believe that you have learned about the history of the two areas that were separated by the large rivers."
May chuckled. "There are more areas beyond this one river. The world is very vast, and no one ever knows for sure how far it is."
"You're very knowledgeable, Princess May. Some parts are harder to cross because of the terrain, and the water is one of them. Before the river became this big, the two areas were one and we had similar cultures. I believe that hundreds of years have passed since then, allowing us to grow differently."
"Indeed, I can hardly believe that the two places are one before."
Jennie shook her head. "Even if we have some differences, I believe that many of the things are still very similar. The way a ruler leads the kingdom and the rules for women are pretty similar."
Hearing the point that Jennie stated, the smile on May's face deepened.
There was no secret about how the culture seemed to be so different, yet at the same time, there were so many similarities.
A few decades or perhaps hundreds of years were not enough to erase the differences so drastically.
After all, the river was not a completely full barrier and if they were determined enough, they could pass the mountains where the river first started.
The two places were still on the same mainland.
"Shall we talk about other things? I still have some other curiosity, Princess Jennie."
"I do have some questions as well," Jennie chuckled. "The foremost is how a princess like you could retain your youthful face."
"You flatter me..."
Jennie was very careful in her speech and only talked about superficial matters.
Even when May tried to divert the conversation to a more sensitive topic, she still handled them rather well and guided the topic back to the previous course.
May had to back down several times before she finally gave up.
"The sun has set, it would be better if I don't disrupt your rest, Princess Jennie," May said politely.
Jennie smiled back, "Thank you for your visit, Princess May. Please come again in the future."
May nodded her head and followed after Ashan's lead to leave the residence.
Steward Du followed after them from behind with his usual silent and cold face as usual.
Jennie leaned back on the chair feeling rather exhausted. In any case, talking was not her forte, and she was not that proficient in talking.
If not because Shin-Hye often came here and talked to her about those matters and taught her a little, she wouldn't be able to fare against that princess at all.
"I really wonder how those who come from the imperial family can live with their tongue," Jennie shook her head.
Lisa pulled the door open and walked into the room.
He was hiding behind the room all this time because Jennie didn't want him to intervene in the talk with the other woman.
"It's not like they keep challenging each other 24 hours a day," Lisa remarked, "It's just a norm because there is nothing else they could do in the palace aside from battling with other people."
Jennie would never want to live in a world like that.
Thankfully, if she didn't become a general and raised her rank to that of a princess, she wouldn't have any chance of marrying a prince since family status would make it awkward should she become a concubine.
Even after she had raised her rank, they still didn't show any interest because she was only a little girl far younger than them and there was no way a princess would become a concubine.
"She's truly an interesting princess, but I don't like her way of trying to gain more information through talking with me," Jennie had to admit that the girl possessed more ways of talking than she thought.
It was as if she was facing Jackson's girl version, but far naive and innocent.
Lisa crossed his arm. "I think she doesn't really have much choice. The information about some sensitive matters is completely hidden with only a handful of them knowing. You just happened to be one of them."
Jennie pouted her lips. She watched as the man moved to her side and caressed her head.
"You have done well. People from the Gu Yue Kingdom are all very cunning."
"How many people from the Gu Yue Kingdom have you met?"
"Just the three of them," Lisa answered calmly.
Jennie was speechless. "How can you generalize them when you only meet with three of them? Not to mention that they are all part of the imperial family."
"It's my instinct."
"Are you telling me that you have sharper instincts when you can't even guess that I and Jayin is the same person?"
Lisa: "..." Stop rubbing on my wounds!
"Hey, why are you messing my hair?" Jennie tried to shake the man's hand from her head.
It was taking her a long time to sit in the same spot, waiting for her servant to finish the hairstyle.
She was not going to let him mess them up!
"Nothing," Lisa answered as he retracted his hand. "At least, Ashan is staying quiet all the time during the conversation."
If that man had tried to butt in or anything, he would not hesitate to barge inside and interrupted them.
Somehow, the sight of that man was terribly annoying for him to the point that he didn't want to see him getting closer to his wife at all.
"He's too quiet in my opinion," Jennie shrugged. The Ashan she met before was far more active than now.
"It's better for him to be quiet. Now, let's rest early," Lisa pulled Jennie carefully and carried her in his embrace.
He found her to be heavier compared with before, though it was to be expected with her belly already raised.
"Don't drop me."
"I won't. Although you have become heavier, you're still light in my opinion," Lisa said with a smile.
"...and why did I become heavy in the first place?"
As the two bantered, Lisa brought her back to their room to have a rest while the servants were busy cleaning up the room.
