Chapter 693: Someone to Support
"It’s alright. I’m used to it," Arabella smiled at the panicked Countess.
This reaction was not new to Arabella, after all. Her whole life - the present and the past, Arabella had been gawked at, sneered at, and even more. The Countess’ opinion of her was so much better than the others did and her staring was more polite.
[Her Majesty is used to it?]
Countess Frieda was surprised at Arabella’s response.
[Ah, I see... Even Her Majesty must have experienced a lot of hardships, especially since she is in such a high position.]
The Countess recalled how much she had to go through simply to do what she thought was best for her county.
Frieda had to give up on marriage prospects and had to live being frowned upon and whispered upon when she chose to become a knight. All because she loved her county and their people. And yet, her family who was the ruling household in Morbal did not value her love and dedication.
Instead, they were the first people to condemn the choice Frieda had made and made her a laughingstock. Frieda had to endure much embarrassment and hardship until she was able to prove that she could be an excellent knight.
Once Frieda had proven her worth in battle, the knights recognized her and her family finally toned down in shaming her. However, her family was still against her being a knight and believed that her choice was one of idiocy since she could have lived comfortably if she simply did as her other siblings did.
