In the castle.
Penny had been tired all morning, and although she was willful and petulant, she behaved well around the imposing surveillance of Sienna.
"Have you remembered all the points the teacher taught you?" After the teacher left, Sienna asked and looked at Penny sternly.
Penny's thin lips tightened and she was silent.
And such silence was undoubtedly the greatest confrontation to Sienna, who snorted coldly, "Is that all you can do?"
"I want to see Mummy." Penny raised her eyes, her attitude was as firm as it had ever been.
The wine swayed in the woman's hand and the corners of her seductive lips rose, "You think meeting her will change anything?"
She was a small child, and her mind was almost instantly recognisable.
The high intensity of her studies had made Penny lose her patience completely, and all she wanted now was to find Alina.
In fact, ever since she arrived at this place, she had been clamouring for Alina, but Sienna never let her see her.
Looking at the child's hateful gaze at her, Sienna did not care at all, reaching out to pinch her face.
"You have to learn even if you don't want to."
"You're a big devil, Mummy says children have to accept their learning according to their age and I'm seriously over the age limit now."
Sienna raised her eyebrows.
Penny was quite smart and even knew that what he was learning now was superlative.
Putting down the glass of red wine in her hand, he rose and walked towards the study door, "Remember, there are no children in the Ajax family." No princesses, no children.
So the intensity that they have had to endure since childhood was unimaginable to the average person.
The moment the door to the study closed, Sienna turned back, "Memorise everything you learn today, or you will never see your mother again."
At the moment, her voice was soft, yet what in Penny's ears was an uncountable threat.
Penny instantly stiffened.
No sooner had Sienna left than Nora came in, "Penny, are you alright? You must be exhausted, right?"
"Bring back everything I've learned today." Without waiting for Nora to come up and hug her, Penny huffed and headed out the door.
Nora sighed in confusion.
The only time she had seen Lady Sienna in a good mood over the years was the day she got news of the second young lady and her daughter.
They all thought that Penny would be raised like a princess when she was picked up.
So they all prepared a lot of things that little girls like, but the reaction from Lady Sienna seemed to be different from what they thought.
Back to the room.
Nora put down the schoolwork in her hand and then rushed to bring Penny lunch, which he ate while reading.
"Penny, you might as well concentrate on food."
"I'll see Mummy when I've got it remembered." The child said to Nora as she stuffed food into her mouth.
Nora stiffened.
And then the heartache overflowed. How much did she miss her mummy?
Penny was actually very smart, and although what she was learning now was quite hard, she had a pretty good grasp of it.
It was the occasional temper tantrum over Alina and Andre.
However, her world was completely different now. Once, when she was in the Lawson's, if there was a request that could not be met, she could get it by crying.
Yet now Penny wanted to cry, but after crying so many times, the demon didn't even compromise, and she learned that crying was useless.
