Question
"They're only after the castle."
Before stories that 3 princesses tried to get married a prince. but servants did'nt let so. This is speech of this time. I think that this speech means only a princess remind the castle...
This is a correct?
Thanks for your post. I think you are doing good work.
返信削除One problem, though, is that the link you put on your post does not go directly to the story you were reading. If you do not understand what I mean, please ask me about this in class today.
In regard to your question, I couldn't find the story so I couldn't check the context. However, I think it means that they "just want to get the castle."
Your question is very good. Please keep up the good work!!
Thanks for your comment.I understood what you mean.
