"Languages?" Was there another kind of translation? None that Ariadne had encountered. Although, her world had been both enormous and surprisingly narrow at the same time. It was all complicated.

She shrugged. "Mostly for foreign ambassadors who visited Princess Amanda. Of course, a lot of them spoke Common. But some people appreciate the ritual that comes with speaking in their own language. And then, of course, there were also the ones who'd never even been to Valeria before, let alone learned any of the languages."

All of it was perfectly logical to her.

"Sometimes documents too, I guess. I can read and write." She beamed, looking incredibly proud of the fact.
