Chapter 542: A Better Mindset
"Oh, and I swear I’m trying hard to learn more about noble etiquette here in Riva, so I won’t irritate you. Odette is educating me," Nadia added.
"You do need to learn a lot of things when it comes to etiquette, but I promise I won’t embarrass you in front of the others anymore."
Narcissa was bothered by Nadia’s lack of manners especially in her speech.
Arabella was already planning to address that too. But it seems Odette had already volunteered to teach Nadia.
"Since you promised not to do any of those anymore, I also accept your apology. Please keep your words," Odette accepted as well.
Even if it was just Narcissa, they were still pressured to accept her apology since she was from a much higher-ranking territory. They were still not used to the policies of the civil service that made them all equal unless they were given higher job titles or positions.
[I learned that Her Majesty doesn’t allow it so we can report immediately in case Narcissa does something again.]
They still doubted Narcissa’s apology, but they were able to accept it since they were assured, they could tell Arabella immediately if something happened again.
Everyone then glanced at Ivan.
"Please take back the words you said first. I am not a cheater," Ivan did not let up. He felt a bit more confident in himself after Ferdinand assigned guards to him. He was sure Narcissa could no longer hurt him, so he remained honest to his feelings.
[That commoner! Narcissa is already humbling herself to someone like him!] Narcissa’s father glared at Ivan. His wife touched his hand since she noticed Arabella was watching them carefully.
