Leonard's POV:
I did not expect Sylvia to be so rude. After interrupting me, she simply turned around and left.
It was unbelievable. No one had ever dared to do that to me.
"Clearly, she is uneducated! I wonder how her parents raised her." I frowned. Even though her unyielding spirit somewhat reminded me of a younger version of myself, I was never arrogant enough to turn my back to my seniors whenever they lectured me.
Clicking his tongue, Owen shrugged. "Well, your temper really isn't for everyone."
I glared back at him. "Why didn't you say anything a while ago?"
Owen flicked his nose. "Not everyone is as ladylike as Alina, you know that. You've taught her well."
I snorted arrogantly and glanced at Alina, who was quietly standing aside.
With satisfaction, I nodded. Ever since she came to the imperial city, I did notice a change in her behavior. But still, her presence remained to be outstanding. After all, I the one who had raised her like a lady since she was a child.
When Alina was still little, I already selected for her a teacher to teach her the standard etiquette. Soon enough, she knew everything there was to
know about how to act like a noble lady.
Indeed, I had spent a lot of my time and energy on Alina. Not only did I raise her to be a graceful lady, but I also wanted to train her to be strong-minded and fearless in the face of danger.
Later on, I realized that I hadn't yet fulfilled my goal completely.
While Alina turned out to be a perfect noble lady, I found that she was still far from becoming a qualified heir. She lacked a lot of things.
The manner in which she handled things was just not smooth enough. She was too timid and never tough.
Like a flower in a greenhouse, she wouldn't be able to stand the winds and rains of life.
