Capítulo 31: Etiquette instructor 2
"Etiquette has many levels. Though, depending on the social standings within a specific kingdom this can change. As you are well aware basic etiquette is required and acknowledged within all kingdoms..." it has been a week, since the arrival of this female air breather and it seems like my days continued to become all the more complicated. The general lecturer had arrived yesterday in the night, a male from what the maids had said who I am yet to see.
Each day etiquette lessons are taught from breaking fast until evening meals.
Making me exhausted afterwards that all I could do is try my best to level up slowly while soaking in water filled with various ingredients, then sleep. Thankfully the three other meals in between I am able to avoid this woman. Such a persistent person!
I should really eat her and be done with it.
"...Our forefathers are known as earthlings then subcategorized as mongoloids; usually called either east Asians or Orientals by foreigners. Our history when compared to the others are among the richest, back then and even now. With this we have refined our teaching to the peak as they are now." she paused and brought up an image. I looked up at the imagines and thought to myself; 'air breathers--specifically humans, are a species so short-lived that they use their short lives to make that of their future generation better. Even as a superior species who look down on such life forms. I must bow my head this time and admit defeat for my ignorance.'
Humans had evolved from minor parasites to those that they are now, it seems they had struggled for a few million years to get where they are now.
Applaud them now.
Still, Shark-kin is better.
We were around before them and most beings back on Gaia. Even those who were on par with us had died.
"This is image shows, the eras of etiquette." she pointed swapping and then paused. "You see here, this is when hierarchy was fully enforced. In a better context, it was broken down like so; greetings/meeting, walking, sitting, eating and drinking. These things are first learnt and practised from home and young to enforce it until it becomes second nature. For example, look at this image and the examples thereafter which is mostly used now as it had been back then."
The image itself was of an elderly woman, and a young lady. The younger lady was walking past the elderly standing lady and she was bent walking quickly but it showed her steps were small.
"The older generation should always be respected. This is because they are the ones who had paved a path for us younger generation to move forward with ease. The other is status, if a young lady has a higher status the old lady would have to step aside bow her head and allow her to easily pass."
Among Shark-kin the older you are, the more powerful. Lineage really did not mean much but simple relation.
Age was power and power was age, the grand matriarch of the Shark-kin before she retreated on land was that example.
Her form was massive over two hundred meters but could be bigger, she had three forms. The half shift with the tail of a shark-kin and upper body of the air breather humans, an air breather human or her true shark-kin form.
Her underbelly was a beautiful white while her blue grey scales glittered within the water.
"That is why there is filial piety, but that will be taught later by another. For now, we will continue with our etiquette by minding..."
Six hours later I felt as though my brain was about to burst from the information received. Crawling into bed I woke a bit earlier the next day to greet my general Lecturer.
It was a man, from the feel, it seems he was around a hundred years of this world which is not that old, in fact, he could be considered quite young.
His hair was long piled on top of his head, his features were well proportioned and his overall built can be considered above average. Secretly I praised myself for searching for various strong ideal bodies.
My thigh is you and growing, if I combine the right nutrients he will grow into that ideal body upping his survival rate.
Curtsying I opened my mouth and greeted the male who stood rather stiffly and straight.
His gaze stared at my form unwaveringly, before he nodded and replied in a magnetic voice. "Greetings to the young miss. My family name is Dai, given name Orthius, from today I will be serving as your general instructor. For the first two months as you are being taught by your etiquette lecturer our time will be reduced to eight hours a day with two days free. Later it will rise to sixteen since my time is limited and we have several subjects to cover."
I nodded," then I shall be in your care Instructor Dai, please take care of me." The corner of his lips tilted while he nodded.
During the next few days were hectic and these were only two classes.
I had to learn how to manage the servants, give both rewards and punishment by balancing them out, prepare for guests but I did not pay that much heed because no one will enter my territory unless they are the servants who are specified to enter.
First he had co-ordinated with the etiquette lecturer in order to plan for my lesson.
For now, I am being taught something that made me keen with interest but also frown.
