Chapter 134: ALWAYS A PLEASURE TO VISIT THE NORTH
Aristia couldn’t keep her expression straight.
[The ladies of the North are quite...open.]
She had heard about it but she didn’t expect this...
They even discussed their marital lives and... some things that should be private. Aristia was almost turning red.
The truth was that Amberale was very large, and each part had its own customs and tradition. The taste in clothing and clothing style of the people in the North was also quite different as it was cold and was covered in snow throughout the year. The food was mostly served hot.
The people of the North were also straightforward. They didn’t really say things in a roundabout way and usually didn’t put on much pretences. They, however, also observed etiquette and social status, just like the rest of the kingdom as it was what was expected of nobility.
[That should be the reason why most of the people from the north prefer to stay in the north. You can only see a few handful of families from the north in the capital. They say that the people from the capital are too vague and pretentious— using lots of words with hidden meaning instead of speaking directly. I quite like the north.]
Across the room, Aristia noticed Catherine engaged in discussion with a group of elder noblewomen, likely discussing matters of politics or estate management or... something else.
Duchess Alistair, on the other hand, was also engaged in conversation with Viscountess Vasily and another lady.
Aristia noticed that the people of the North were also easy to talk to. They weren’t cold like their climate. Both the adults and children alike.
[That’s why uncle Ross is so cheerful. Probably.] She had spent some time around Ross. From what everyone said, he was her favorite uncle.
