  Chapter 51

“Millian, do you know that the fact that etiquette is not the only thing you have to study is making me more worried?”

“Uh, Teacher…”

Millian, who had been babbling away, finally dropped her shoulders and raised the white flag. She meekly took the test from Liv and checked off the wrong questions with a sullen face.

What Millian was learning was social etiquette. Although it was a bit old-fashioned for young ladies to learn these days, it was something that Liv, who had discussed the course with Baroness Vendons beforehand, could not exclude. It was also a lesson Millian had to learn for her to participate in the aristocratic society in the future.

“Honestly, this stuff only worked in the old days.”

Millian pouted and grumbled as she flipped through the test papers.

“It’s not to that extent yet.”

Even Liv wasn’t entirely sure about that. It was natural because she didn’t engage in the aristocratic society.

However, what she was teaching now was something she had learned when she was a student at Clemence Boarding School, something that all of her aristocratic peers were also required to learn. Thus, Millian surely needed to have the minimum knowledge of it.

“I’m sure everything will change by the time I’m entering the society.”

“I understand your wishes, but the aristocratic society is more conservative than you think.”

Millian pouted her lips in complete disagreement. However, she reluctantly opened the textbook as if she could not turn a blind eye to it all along.

“By the way, Teacher. Did people really get engaged at birth in the old days?”

Unfortunately, Millian’s concentration couldn’t hold out for more than three minutes. With her hands propping her chin like a flower, Millian stared at Liv with gleaming eyes.

“Where else did you read that?”

“In a book I read yesterday, the female protagonist was engaged to a man she didn’t even know at birth!”

“Aha, so it’s a new romance novel.”

No wonder she didn’t do the review. She must have been busy reading a novel. No matter how much she hated studying, she didn’t usually neglect her study to this extent.

Liv could guess how late Millian must have fallen asleep last night without having to listen. She probably stayed up all night.

“But on her coming of age, she met the love of her life and broke off her engagement despite her family’s disapproval!”

“What an adventurous and reckless protagonist.”

The protagonist even broke the engagement against the opposition of the family.

It seemed the novel she read this time had made her reluctant with the old-fashioned nature of the aristocratic society. Liv finally realized where Millian’s uncooperative class attitude was coming from.

Millian was an avid reader who immersed herself in novels, and the depth of that immersion usually depended on how entertaining the novel was.

Millian’s reaction indicated that she was deeply engrossed in the novel she read yesterday.

Sure enough, Millian, putting her hands to her chest as if she had become the protagonist of the novel, screamed in an exaggerated tone.

“But it turns out the male protagonist was the king’s illegitimate son!”
