The Empress noticed that her husband was planning on allowing this request and felt irritated. She wanted to kill this girl on the spot when she heard her intentions. She could not let some little girl ruin her plans. She painstakingly convinced the Emperor to marry her off and this little girl was standing in the way.

Before the Emperor could speak, the Empress cut him off, “How can we believe that you are a capable teacher? You are just a little girl. I don’t think that you can offer any kind of education that would be helpful for the princess.”

Yuna unexpectedly countered the Empress, “Would you believe me if I proved it to you?” The Empress scoffed, “I would like to see you try. How would you like to test your knowledge, little girl? I don’t think you’ll be able to answer any of the questions that I have for you. I doubt that you’d be able to teach Princess Ara. She’s much older than you. What makes you think you can just become a teacher without any credibility?”

The Emperor added on, “I do agree with the Empress on this one. I find it difficult to trust that you could teach Princess Ara with your age and all. If you could prove it to us, maybe we could allow your request. If you cannot answer the questions, I’m afraid that we will have to deny the request.”

Yuna was unfazed despite everyone’s doubt towards her. She was used to people judging her without actually getting to know her. It wasn’t unusual for most to doubt her especially since she looked younger than most 12-year-old girls. She was ready for whatever question they would ask. Yuna was determined, “I can answer any questions you may ask, so please go ahead.”

The Empress decided to let her husband ask the questions. After all, she wasn’t the smart one in the relationship. She just wanted to see the little girl struggle. If her husband asked the questions, she had no worries. All she had to do was sit back and watch the show. The Empress wasn’t worried one bit about the result.

The Emperor said, “I’ll ask you a total of 3 questions so that we could make sure that you can keep up with the Princesses studies. They may be even harder for a prince to answer. I just want to make sure that Princess Ara gets the best education she can get. If you can’t answer the question, no one will blame you. So please feel reassured.”

The questions that the Emperor were planning to ask were extremely difficult. The Emperor did not know the answer himself but wanted to ask them regardless of how difficult they were. He wanted to see how she would answer the question. If she failed, he would then ask the princes.

He already knew that the little girl in front of him wouldn’t be able to answer the questions. He also knew that the whole kingdom was at this party. He wanted to find someone that could answer the questions and then implement the procedures to better his kingdom. This was an opportunity for him to get opinions from the public.
