Great. She has realized that I wasn’t paying attention to what she had been saying at all!
“Yes…sorry…I’m just a little tired,” I said with an apologetic smile.
“Oh, that’s not a problem, My Lady. I was just saying that soon I will introduce you to your instructor. She will teach you the arts of water painting, dancing, and music as appropriate for someone in your position to master. Although I call her your instructor, she is just another more…experienced lady in this inner court,” Auntie said with a broad smile.
I sighed inwardly. To be completely honest, I had next to no interest in those topics that she mentioned. From where I come from those skills were reserved for the daughters of the rich and wealthy because they were skills necessary to attract suitable suitors. However, for a poor girl living on the countryside like me, such skills were unnecessary and does not lead to any income or use.
