>>6299807It takes her about a month to reach a level of mastery that she's satisfied with to perform her duties as the Heir. Generally, she's still not as good as the people she learned from in each of their particular crafts, but between the fact that she has an eidetic memory that never forgets anything she learns and the fact that she learned from the best, she would likely qualify as a master in each of those crafts. Better than many masters, even, those not as good as many more.
One of the reasons why she prefers bookish men is that they tend to be able to keep up with her mind more, and book learning is not something she can speedrun the way she can master the trades by watching a master work and copying what they do perfectly. She can read faster than most scholars, but 10,000 hours of scholarly work becoming one tenth of that is still a significant time investment for her.
>>6299815The Flower King shares many traits with Big E, but he is also different in many ways. For instance, he would never look at any of his children as if they were the rasp he needs to grind the bars of his prison. He has plans for Roxy, sure, and he wanted to make the perfect Heir... but he still sees her as a daughter more than a tool for his ambitions.
>>6299872Princess Roxy has not yet had any children, so she cannot nurse or produce milk yet.
>>6299904No, it is as anon has said. Your younger sisters are captives of the Boar Empire. Your youngest sister is under the protection of the Seventh Prince of the Boar Empire, as they had been having secret correspondence and had been planning to announce an engagement after running their plans by their parents. He was not informed of the invasion plans until the last minute, and had to rush over to the City of Roses to keep her safe during the sack. He also burned some of his political capital to ensure that his brothers and sisters in law received treatment appropriate to their station.
Unfortunately, his sadist of a father overruled him on matters regarding Princess Roxy. He has a desire to humiliate the bloodlines of all conquered nations, so he put all of that onto you since one of his more competent sons made targeting the rest of your family <span class="mu-i">inconvenient</span>. Thus Princess Roxy was stripped, whipped through the city, and thrown into the Hollow Labyrinth with a Scrying Node meant to record an unseemly and degrading death.
>>6299913I am giving you a hug over the internet. Thank you for the warm wishes, anon!
