Fake Princess
CHAPTER 15
There were two chairs placed around a small table, and we sat on it. When I started eating, Aunt Vania looked at me like someone was observing a strange animal that had just been taken out of the cage.
“ We have to find out if anyone has an empty bed,”.
“ Alvi Mayona seems to have. His daughter just
moving to town with her new husband.”
In shock I glanced at the other door, which I originally thought was Aunt Vania's room. However, then my eyes saw a folded blanket on a chair beside the fireplace. I felt the heat coming out of my face, and I realized my face must be blushing again. Last night I slept in Aunt Vania's room, I realized with embarrassment, and it turned out that my aunt slept on the floor.
“ The room is too narrow for two beds, & I don't think we both will be enough in one bed.” he continued .
“ But, of course, maybe we can find a bigger bed. As well as some clothes, & boots. You won't be able to do much with that outfit.”
Now my gaze is fixed on my lap & the blue cloth of my dress. Just a moment ago I thought it was simple, but now, when compared to the dress my aunt wore, I just realized this dress turned out to look redundant.
Aunt Vania is still watching me closely. & that brings us to the next question.
“ What can you do?”
I chewed the cheese in my mouth, trying to think about what I could do.
“ I can speak four languages,” I said slowly.
“ I can embroidery & I can paint. I memorized Thorvaldian history & tradition, mathematics & war theory. My tutors said my handwriting...”.
“ I'm willing to learn.”
I finally said.
“ I don't .... I don't know anything about dipping or cooking, but I can learn.”
“ You must learn,” Aunt Vania said seriously.
“ Summer is coming soon, & it's the busiest moment for me, considering the large number of plants growing. I had to harvest enough materials to occupy me during the winter. You're too old to be a protege, but there's nothing to do about it. You have to help me work. I can't feed someone who doesn't work.”
“ I will try my best,” I said a little stiff.
“ Good,” said my aunt. “ Then let's go to Alvi's house & find out if her daughter left her clothes.”
The village is small and simple as seen from the train window last night. A dirt road cuts through the city center, then winds its way down a large street in the prank that leads back to Vivaskari.
The Treb consists of about twenty houses, a two-bedroom inn rented to travelers who stop by the village, a small temple to the Nameless God, and, & a small shop that sells some items that are not made by the villagers or carried by traveling salesmen.
An apartment, larger than most houses, is located above the store, and I assume the owner lives there.
Some farmland is seen in the pranks, near the forest, but all the villagers' houses have small gardens, or goat & chicken pens .
