American TV series: Starting with exploiting young Sheldon

Mia, who grew up in a wild environment, has a lot to learn if she wants to become a qualified royal princess, the most basic of which is royal etiquette.

The complicated and tedious etiquette made Mia, this "wild girl" from the countryside, suffer a lot.

In this situation, the girl is definitely not going to be happy.

Therefore, Queen Renardi was surprised to see Mia's cheerful appearance.

“Something good has indeed happened…” A happy smile unconsciously appeared on Mia’s face.

Perhaps becoming a princess wouldn't be so bad!

The girl thought of Mike; if things had gone according to plan, she would never have had any interaction with him.

But if she is a noble princess, the situation is different.

Chapter 284 Dining Etiquette

"Alright, let's begin today's lesson—dining etiquette."

Queen Reinadi and her granddaughter were in a daze for a while before she interrupted them and began arranging today's lessons.

The Queen was young once too, and knowing what her granddaughter looked like, she was clearly caught up in a sweet, dreamlike romance.

"Joe, go and prepare dinner for our lovely princess," Queen Renardi then instructed the steward.

"As you wish~" Joe nodded in acknowledgment and quickly went to the restaurant.

Joe Joseph's official position was that of the Queen's private butler, bodyguard, and advisor.

Therefore, this middle-aged man with a handsome mustache is actually a polymath.

Later, when Mia followed the Queen to the restaurant, a large table of sumptuous food had been set out according to the standards of a royal dinner.

"My goodness, is all of this prepared for me?" Mia exclaimed in amazement as she looked at the exquisite food and tableware on the table.

At this moment, this country bumpkin girl finally gained a concrete understanding of the extravagance of the Genovese royal family.

"This is a dinner for two, prepared according to the standards for a royal family banquet. You are certainly welcome to enjoy it..." Queen Renadi smiled and led her granddaughter to her seat, then sat down opposite her, continuing, "Now let's learn some dining etiquette as we eat. I will remind you as needed..."

"Oh, okay~" Mia sat down, looking left and right, everything seemed so new and interesting.

"First of all, once seated, you must remain dignified. Unless absolutely necessary, you should not get up from your seat. Squirrels and turn are even more unacceptable; that is very impolite." Queen Renadi patiently explained dining etiquette to her granddaughter, who was acting rather unruly.

"Okay~" Mia's eyes darted around, and she obediently sat up straight.

But before long, she became interested in the strangely shaped drink in the center of the table.

"Is this brandy or wine? I've never had either..." The girl stood up casually and took the exquisite bottle in her hand.

"First of all, brandy is not wine; it's a distilled spirit produced through burning and distillation. Secondly, I must apologize, because of time constraints, we can only use a lower-grade alcoholic beverage to replace the royal wine today..."

Queen Renadi spoke calmly and patiently: "Finally, it seems you've forgotten the dining etiquette I taught you before."

"I know, you can't leave your butt on the chair," Mia stuck out her tongue, trying to get away with it by being cute.

When she realized that her grandmother wasn't paying attention to her, the girl curiously opened the bottle of brandy in her hand.

The slightly fruity wine was poured into a crystal glass, releasing an enticing aroma.

Mia eagerly picked up her wine glass and took a big gulp, then blushed and slammed the glass back onto the table.

The loud noise caused the tableware on the table to move slightly.

Queen Reinadi, watching her granddaughter's rude actions, twitched her brows several times, finally suppressing the urge to continue lecturing.

'This is the successor I've chosen; everything will be alright. She needs more time to adjust…'

If anyone could hear the Queen's ramblings, this would probably be it.

"Ugh, this is so spicy!"

At this moment, Mia, who had finally swallowed the wine in her mouth, opened her mouth to breathe and fanned her face with her hand.

Unlike regular wines with an alcohol content of around ten degrees, distilled brandy has an alcohol content exceeding forty degrees, definitely belonging to the category of strong liquors.

People who drink it for the first time will definitely find it unpleasant, let alone someone like Mia who takes such a big gulp at once.

"Huh, is that beef?"

Mia, who desperately needed a hearty dish to mask the smell of alcohol, saw a plate of beef in sauce in front of her grandmother and then got up and forked two slices.

Satisfied, he sat down and began to chew heartily.

Queen Reina Di, who had maintained her elegance throughout her life, could no longer tolerate her granddaughter's rudeness this time.

"Joe, go find some ties and tie Mia to the chair," the Queen instructed the butler.

A little while later, Joe went outside and found a ribbon that looked like a scarf.

"Excuse me, Princess Mia~"

After expressing his apologies, the butler used a ribbon to wrap around Mia's shoulders and secure her to the back of the chair.

"Why?" Mia stretched out her arms and found it very inconvenient.

"The first rule of royal dining etiquette..." Queen Reynaldi explained patiently again.

"I can recite that I can't leave my seat," Mia answered quickly, then asked with a puzzled look, "But what if there are dishes on the table that I can't reach?"

“You can summon a servant to help you, like Joe next to you,” Queen Renadi replied.

“Now I understand!” Mia smiled and turned to the butler beside her, saying, “Joseph, could you please get me two more pieces of beef?”

Upon hearing this, the butler stepped forward, picked up two pieces of beef, and neatly placed them on the plate in front of Mia.

"Wow, amazing!" Mia exclaimed as she looked at the neatly arranged beef on the plate.

Then, the girl's gaze fell on the other foods on the table: "Are those shrimp chips? I've never had them before. And that foie gras over there..."

Having grown up with her artist mother and never having eaten anything fancy, Mia was clearly captivated by the exquisite and high-end food on the table.

Following the girl's directions, the butler stepped forward again.

However, even the butler couldn't keep up with the girl's cravings.

So the impatient girl padded her chair and went to pick up the food she wanted to eat herself.

On the other side, Queen Renadi was stunned by this comical scene.

It's hopeless, let it be destroyed.

The Queen covered her face and stood up: "Joe, call me after Mia has finished eating."

After saying that, Queen Renadi quickly left the restaurant.

Her long-standing royal etiquette training made her unable to bear watching what was happening in the restaurant.

Half an hour later, Mia, having eaten and drunk her fill, slumped in a chair, clutching her stomach.

As for the ribbon on the shoulder, it had long since disappeared.

Immediately afterwards, when Queen Renadi was called back by Joe, the girl quickly stood up, looking embarrassed.

Actually, girls also want to be elegant, but this meal was just too tempting.

"Are you full?" Queen Renadi asked with a stern face, as if she was still angry.

"I'm full~" Mia answered cautiously, looking like she was waiting to be scolded.

"Go home now that you're full. That concludes today's etiquette lesson. We'll continue tomorrow." Queen Reinadi maintained her elegance.

"Oh, okay, okay~" Instead of the lecture she expected, Mia looked up and flashed a bright smile: "Goodbye Grandma! And Joseph, see you tomorrow!"

Watching the girl happily run out of the villa with her big backpack, Queen Reina Di unconsciously revealed a warm smile on her face.

"What do you think of her?" Queen Renadi turned to look at the butler.

"You mean Princess Mia? There's no doubt she's adorable," Joe offered a fair assessment.

"Yes, just like when I was young..." Queen Renadi sat down on the sofa, lost in memories.

After a moment, she came to her senses: "Joe, remember to remind me tomorrow to go and get some funds for Mia's family."

The simplest way to turn a girl into a princess is to let her live a princess-like life.

Whether from a material or psychological perspective.

"Also, I need to know what happened to Mia at school today; perhaps it will help her become a princess," Queen Renadi said again.

Three months later, the Genovia royal family held a grand royal family gathering, and Queen Reinadi wanted to take that opportunity to introduce Mia to the other members of the royal family.

Therefore, it's no wonder Queen Renadi is strict with her granddaughter; Mia simply doesn't have much time left.

If all goes well, Mia will receive the title of princess of the kingdom on that day and become the future heir to the kingdom.

To help Mia complete this task, Queen Renadi has actually turned down several invitations to meet with the leaders of small countries in the past few days.

Genovya is a small country not far from Migo, with a land area smaller than one of Migo's provinces.

This small country is rich in liquid gold and various minerals.

Queen Reynardini had far more to consider than one might imagine in order to safeguard these riches and ensure the happiness of her people.

Chapter 285 The Competition for Student Council President

At Connie's grandma's house, after about an hour of work, Mike saw Lina off and then took Peggy to Cooper's house.

It was only just past dinnertime at the Cooper family's house.

The atmosphere in the restaurant was somewhat somber because George Jr. was not present.

After the pre-meal prayers, seeing that no one was speaking, Coach George broke the silence first: "Mike, the Summer League is about to start, when do you plan to return to the team? I'm still keeping the captain's armband for you."

After Aaron stepped down as captain last year, George kept the position of captain of the football team for Mike.

Whether considering contributions, influence, or ability, Mike is the most suitable person for the team captain position.

"If I remember correctly, there's still over a month until the official competition. Let me know if the team still needs me then," Mike replied after a moment's thought.

With his skill level, he could join the team and become a key player at any time.

Mike wouldn't mind getting involved in something so easy; he might even make a profit selling the posters.

Moreover, as far as he knows, the rugby team has undergone restructuring and the players are quite strong, at least at the level of the top ten.

Leading a team in this kind of environment is much easier.

"OK, I'll let you know a week before the game. I'll also give you some time to get used to your new teammates." Coach George finally felt relieved after receiving the promise of his return.

Mike Melford Football Club owes its current status to his efforts.

To be honest, Coach George is a little worried about the team without Mike.

Just after their conversation ended, Sheldon suddenly asked, "Mike, are you planning to run for student council president this year?"

The terrible experience this morning left Sheldon looking quite grim.

"No, no, no~ Student council president... it's not a good job, and it's not on my radar." Mike shook his head in disdain: "Why would you ask that?"

The student council president of Migo High School is basically someone who runs errands for the teachers, and he's always busy and easily offends people on both sides.

I wouldn't even be a dog if you gave it to me!

“I was just asking.” Sheldon visibly relaxed, then continued, “Actually, I’m planning to run for student council president this year.”

Because of today's embarrassing experience, Sheldon wants to find a stage to prove himself and try to overcome his weakness—panic disorder.

In his view, the student council president was very "impressive".

(In fact, students dislike annoying people like the student council president, so they subconsciously avoid him.)

Having formed his initial ideas, Sheldon Jr. did not take his competitors seriously.

The only people he truly respected at school were Mike and Peggy, who had exceptionally high IQs.

Peggy, being a girl and the same age as him, was subconsciously ignored by Sheldon.

Therefore, the only person who stood in his way from becoming student council president was Mike.

Knowing that Mike has no intention of becoming student council president gives Sheldon a sense of loneliness, as if no hero in the world can rival him.

The saying "When you reach the summit, you can see all the mountains below" perfectly describes this feeling.

"Oh, Shelley, Grandma's little cookie, you're going to be the student council president!" Grandma Connie exclaimed in surprise, her face beaming with pride at her promising grandson.
