Chapter 1024 Rowena's Desire (2)
Raphael kept his word, and the next day a teacher was sent to start teaching Rowena how to read the written language of Cretea. He was happy because Rowena asked for this. It meant she was showing interest in something in Cretea, and he hoped it was enough to keep her busy.
He didn't fail to notice how lonely she sometimes looked, and he had tried his best to be there for her. However, when he asked her how she was doing, Rowena would tell him that everything was fine and she didn't need anything. This was actually the first request she made to him in Cretea and Raphael was excited to grant it.
So, Rowena started learning.
However, she was surprised to find out that, apparently, she also could read Cretean written language now?
When Rowena opened a book from the stack in front of her, the runes were dancing and created forms that she could understand. For a good moment she was frozen in her spot. This was unexpected.
Was this caused by the magic dust? So, not only did she now read the elven words, she could also read the books from Cretea. Rowena realized now she no longer needed a tutor to teach her how to read. However, when she saw Lady Alma, who was sent from the palace to teach her, Rowena pretended not to know anything.
"You gasped," the teacher commented. "Is there something wrong, Your Highness?"
"No, nothing," Rowena lied. She didn't want anyone to know that she suddenly could read in other languages. If they found out, people would be suspicious. What happened to her should not be known to others. She wanted to know more about the magic dust before she knew what to do.
"Nothing? Your expression looked surprised," Lady Alma said again. "I am just wondering if I offended you in any way."
"Not at all, Lady Alma. Apologies for making you feel that way. There was something on my mind. I promise I will pay attention to the study from now on and not let my mind wander," Rowena replied politely.
"Very well, we can start with today's lesson," said the teacher finally. She sat down and opened one book filled with images to teach Rowena the written language.
Lady Alma was happy with the task given to her by Raphael to teach his wife. She liked teaching and she enjoyed seeing her students thrive. She was one of Raphael's teachers when he was much younger and she thought Raphael was her most talented student. She was happy to help him.
Secretly, Lady Alma also wanted to know what kind of woman married to the prince who was considered the most eligible bachelor in Cretea until ten years ago. After she got to know Rowena, Lady Alma had a favorable impression of the woman.
She was surprised to see how smart and talented Rowena was. Everything she taught her seemed absorbed by the younger woman like water. Rowena was quiet, serious, and dedicated. In just a matter of days, she could already read simple sentences.
