Learning court etiquette was the most grinding torture.
Princess Daisy, who had been learning slowly since childhood, was already accustomed to following rules in every move she made. But even then, it had been quite a grind.
For instance, maintaining a certain posture while standing was exhausting. Princess Daisy could hold her standing pose during an event, which only lasted at most three to four hours.
Learning etiquette, however, made her stand for an entire day.
When Princess Daisy stood there, the old court ladies held rulers. Four of them stood vigilantly around her. When her calf showed just a bit of slack, a ruler would strike her.
"Snap!"
A red mark appeared on Princess Daisy's calf.
She winced in pain, and another ruler hit her arm. "Mind your expression."
The old lady shouted, and Princess Daisy could only force herself to bear the pain, relax her face, and keep smiling...
