Chapter 42: Chapter 42: Etiquette

Swan grabbed a napkin and tried to reach Gale's mouth. 

She wiped the dripping meat juice from the corner of his lips, which made him pause before swallowing his food. 

"What are you doing?" Gale asked warily.

"I—uhm… I just don't want you to be seen as a savage by humans. Eating slowly and politely is the most basic manner…" Swan said. However, for her, she ate slowly and politely because Aria often picked on her. She had to imitate how Aria ate her food so she wouldn't be laughed at. 

She was never taught a royal manner. She did everything based on imitating her Queen Mother and Aria. 

Swan might not have dignity as a princess. She was looked down upon by everyone, but she didn't want her husband to experience the same. 

She wanted Gale to be respected, both for his overwhelming power and his etiquette. 

Gale scoffed at first as he found it to be ridiculous.
