Her Majestic Battle Cry

Chapter 1222

Upon hearing these words, Victoria raised an eyebrow slightly, a faint smile tugging at her lips.

“I recall before you married the king, you were renowned throughout the capital for your scholarly accomplishments. You’ve read so many books, yet now you claim that women shouldn’t study? You were just praising the benefits of learning, and yet here you are, contradicting yourself. Are you unaware of this?”

Kylie was taken aback. “I… I didn’t mean it in that way. It is not that women should not study. Indeed, it is a good thing for ladies of noble families to broaden their knowledge for their refinement. After all, they are guided by family rules and propriety. Education just adds to their virtues.”

Victoria’s smile remained, but her voice turned pointed. “I’ve noticed that you often speak of propriety and rules. Do you truly enjoy being bound by such things?”

Kylie was momentarily stunned. “Mother, surely, this is the foundation upon which women are meant to stand. How could one speak of liking or disliking it? Those who follow proper conduct must, of course, adhere to it.

“It is like the laws of Starhaven, which restrain the people from committing evil. Those with malicious intent may resent such laws, but for those who live honestly, they will never feel oppressed by them.”

Victoria chuckled. “So, this is how you see it. Quite interesting.”

Kylie couldn’t catch a hint of praise in Victoria’s words, and she felt a sense of unease growing in her chest. “Mother, have I spoken incorrectly?”

Victoria’s smile deepened. “Such conversations between mother and daughter–in–law rarely have a right or wrong. We speak as we see fit.”

“Is this not what you believe as well?” Kylie was increasingly perplexed by Victoria’s cryptic
