"So there really might be an education monopoly."
After hearing Alisa's words, Lan Qingyou nodded in agreement.
After all, in a way, education was one of the most expensive and most rewarding industries in the world.
That was true in every world.
"Right? And she still thought she was being treated unfairly. She didn't even stop to think about the kind of world she was living in."
Alisa scoffed.
Before, Alisa had treated those essays and travelogues as nothing more than a novel.
Now, she was living in the society that had once been a "novel."
The world was still the same world.
It was just that a thousand years could change a lot.
So now, she'd gone from looking down on it all from the outside to being one of the people caught up in it.
Her commentary had also become much more radical and sharp-tongued.
Because this world was now her world.
"That's hard to judge. I can only say that the sheltered young lady from a noble family got a harsh dose of reality and society. I'm sure she'll remember it now."
Lan Qingyou took some dried fruit and put it on the plate in the middle of the table.
Uh...
All right.
Technically, it wasn't a plate.
It was a little dish for teacups.
But it didn't matter.
There was no need for the two of them to fuss over things like that.
Besides, they could be elegant when they wanted to be, and relax when they wanted to.
So nobody had the right to criticize anything they did.
Just like the two servants standing guard outside the door.
As for whether anyone might hear what they said in here...
Did someone really think Lan Qingyou would be too stingy to use a soundproofing magic array?
