Chapter 2
It was an expression with a lot to point out.
Was there something wrong with my pronunciation? Or was vocabulary the problem?
Rieta looked at him curiously for a long time, but Noel still gave no answer.
*****
Rieta Liz was the princess of a small kingdom.
Even if it was small, it was a good place for wheat and barley to grow well, so if ‘the king had been a good man’, it would never have had financial problems.
However, it was a shame that Rieta’s father, King Liz, was not a very good person.
His first order as king had been to select and bring in the beauties of each region.
Perhaps it was a desire to enjoy pleasure as well as luxury.
Thanks to this, the people of the kingdom always had to be anxious.
Especially because of the king’s reckless sleeping around, it was safe to say that there wouldn’t be a future for the kingdom if a war of successors took place in the future.
But she didn’t know if she could go that far to heaven.
Fortunately, few children were born in the royal family.
The firstborn Rieta, and her two brothers. The three were everything.
Since then, there were no children born, and only then, the king, who realized that pregnancy was difficult, ate an abundance of things that were good for the body without knowing about the subject.
But nothing changed.
Probably, the king did not have much ability to create successors.
“That’s Father’s only strength.”
One day, five-year-old Rieta said that, drawing anger and hatred from her father.
However, she really didn’t want to be loved by him, so she didn’t take it to her heart.
Of course, she wouldn’t have thought so if she were a normal five-year-old.
Rieta Liz was different from a normal child.
She was born with her previous life’s record.
There was a good reason to say ‘record’ here, and not ‘memory’ of her previous life.
Memories are ambiguous, tending to become blurred over time.
Moreover, the rate of forgetting was even faster in life after the environment and life changed.
She easily forgot in her past life, but some things were different.
The book she read, , and the appreciation she wrote about it.
She couldn’t get rid of it even if she didn’t care.
Just as if someone forcibly put it in her head.
And a while later, she also learned the name from “How to Survive as the Ordinary Lady” actually existed in the Empire.
That means, here.
Was the world of the novel?
Rieta was very curious about it, but there was no way to verify it.
There was nothing that mentioned the Liz Kingdom in the book.
Anyway, in an environment full of only wrong enjoyment, it was good to have the record of ‘How to survive as the ordinary lady’.
And then, one day.
Something difficult happened to her kingdom. Of course, it was a matter of money.
Her father said, ‘Let’s ask the Empire of Mekidia. They have a lot of money,’ deciding to send Rieta to a rich empire.
“You look like your mother, so your appearance will be useful.”
She left for the Empire without saying much, although it was embarrassing to do the same diplomacy with his nine-year-old daughter’s face as a weapon.
And it wasn’t for her father’s sake.
It was only for the kind people of the kingdom.
The journey of the princess, who did not have enough travel expenses, was very poor.
If the people of the kingdom who felt sorry for her had not given her rye bread and cheese, she would have starved to death before she could borrow money.
After all, through various twists and turns, Rieta was able to stand before the Emperor of Mekidia.
She might not have known, but her journey left a great impression on the subjects of the empire.
A person called the princess of a country wore clothes and shoes that did not match her size, her stomach rumbling.
The emperor must have felt sorry at first glance, thinking, ‘If I don’t help that child quickly, she will starve to death soon.’
Seeing that he was willing to lend the amount she requested, King Liz was pleased to hear that.
