Chapter 618: Writing!!

Translator: Lord bluefire

The cold voice carried a hint of anger and dissatisfaction, and it spoke in the most authentic Y language, with a pronunciation similar to English yet different in that special sense.

“Mr. Karl, perhaps you’re not aware of how far the small places in China have developed. As for me, this bumpkin, I just happen to be proficient in the Y language...”

Upon hearing this, Karl froze. He couldn’t believe it and turned to look at Shen Ruojing, who was staring at him coldly. The icy gaze seemed as if it wanted to devour him, scaring Karl so much that his following words got stuck in his throat.

Choking for a moment, he wanted to say something else, but Daisy hurriedly spoke up, “Your Highness, it turns out you speak Y language so well. How many languages are you proficient in?’

This changed the subject and prevented Karl from giving her any more tasks.

After all, Daisy had been called over at the last minute, taking a long flight to Country A without Karl picking her up at the airport. Instead, they had just met at the entrance of the palace, so she wasn’t clear about the purpose of her visit to Country A.

Now that the topic had been diverted, Karl never got a chance to speak privately about the matter, and Princess Daisy could pretend to be clueless. As far as she was concerned, she was just here to enhance the friendship between the two countries, and she understood that!

Shen Ruojing looked at Daisy and thought of how the girl had just changed the subject to avoid embarrassing her. Hence, she went along with it. “Hmm, I can’t really count...”

Daisy didn’t mind and continued asking, “You must be proficient in English, what about French?”

“I know a little.”

‘Your Highness is too modest! You must not know just a little, but a lot. My friend’s mother is just like you. I know what Chinese people mean when they say they ‘know a little’!”

Daisy was very talkative, and her words piqued Shen Ruojing’s interest. “Oh? Why does Your Highness say that?”

Daisy smiled, her eyes showing more affection and her face a touch of nostalgia. “1 once had a very good friend who went to school with me. When I asked if he could play table tennis, he said he knew a little. I was so excited, thinking I could definitely beat him, but in the end...” Daisy shrugged, playfully saying, “I lost miserably.”

As a 19-year-old woman, Princess Daisy was very adorable when she spoke and gestured, so Shen Ruojing couldn’t help but laugh.

Shen Ruojing replied, “Table tennis is our national sport in China. You shouldn’t have competed with him in that.”

Daisy made a sad face. ‘The problem is, I can’t beat him at anything else either...”

As she said this, Shen Ruojing suddenly laughed. “Princess Daisy, do you care about him a lot?”

Daisy was slightly startled, glanced at Karl subconsciously, and then suppressed the melancholy in her eyes. “No, we are just friends.”

After saying this, she didn’t want to bring up the matter anymore, and her eyes showed a touch of bitterness.

Two years ago, she had followed that person to China but failed to receive a response. She then went back immediately, as her mother, the Queen, and her sister were utterly unreliable at home.

The royal family relied solely on her...

As she thought of this, she entered Country A’s palace with Shen Ruojing.

Princess Daisy was indeed as kind and innocent as rumored. Once they were in the palace, she didn’t give Karl any more opportunities to speak to her privately. Instead, she accompanied Shen Ruojing everywhere. The two appeared equal in status, maintaining the dignity of Country A’s royal family, while Princess Daisy quickly captured the hearts of the noble ladies.

Karl watched this with a hint of anxiety.

Soon, it was time for the banquet, and King Jing Zhen finally appeared, inviting everyone to take their seats.

While eating, Karl looked around the room and suddenly spoke with a smile, “Your Majesty, our Princess Daisy has always been fond of Chinese culture and has learned to write beautiful characters. Today, she would like to write a few for everyone and have the Chinese guests evaluate her work.”

After saying this, he waved his hand.

The people from Country Y had prepared everything, so upon hearing this, they immediately brought paper and brushes to the table in the center of the banquet hall.

Daisy. ”

She really didn’t like Karl’s approach.

Hence, she couldn’t help but look at Karl, using silence as a form of protest.

Karl, however, calmly looked at her with a smile on his face. “Princess Daisy, please go ahead. You don’t need to hide your skills. His Majesty and Her

Highness have both grown up in China and are well-versed in Chinese arts.

They can surely give you some guidance, and you’ll definitely make progress.”

Karl had researched Jing Zhen and Shen Ruojing’s news in China and knew that Shen Ruojing was quite skilled in music. Therefore, Karl didn’t target her with music but chose calligraphy instead.

Princess Daisy learned a lot about Chinese culture because of her fondness for a certain Chinese person. Also, she had been taught calligraphy by a renowned master and could write beautifully. The master had even said that her writing was comparable to the best among young people in China today.

At this moment, Daisy bit her lips.

Karl then narrowed his eyes, showing a subtle threat in his gaze.

Seeing his gaze, Daisy took a deep breath and finally stood up.

She looked at Shen Ruojing again, her eyes revealing a hint of apology.

Shen Ruojing.

It wasn’t that serious as the situation was very manageable..
