A very intelligent way of saying, “I wasn’t born with enough middle fingers.”

Is the buying herself thing like an actual legal action, or just a way to lecture the parents and call them out in front of the grandfather? Because I doubt a 3 year old can emancipate themselves if they obtain enough money? Oh well can't wait for the next chapter. 🐹

Definitely a symbolic gesture. She even thinks to herself that if they stopped to think about it logically, they could easily poke holes in what she was saying (it's kind of a non-sequitur to bring up the "price" of a commoner orphan, after all). But the point was to deliver an emotional gut-punch. "You have done the bare minimum to keep me alive, so in return, I will give you the bare mininum value placed upon a child's life. Take it, and let us be strangers." If he doesn't actually care about her, then this is a good rebuttal to any potential complaints about her "owing" them anything, and if he  does care about her, then this is a crushing symbol of what she thinks his love is worth. Either way, it seems like she's hoping it will give her enough momentum to steamroll right out of there before he can gather his wits and stop her.

The grandfather should be so crushed by this he takes a look at the budget and changes the wife's budget to smaller than the daughters and he send the cat and grandson to a battlefield to see if there was any return on the money
He should send the cat as rations.

Something something path to evil paved with good intentions and all that but

HELL YEA
Theres something really satisfying about people that do awful things with a good heart catching spit in the face.
Shout out to this insane situation the marquis has been put in. Your toddler just lectured you for 7 straight minutes and bought herself freedom for the price of a Subway Sandwich.
Question: is this price after the $5 foot long was eradicated or when it still existed?

Hmm... why do i feel like the father saw a future vision in which she gets used and discarded off by the royals and is doing all this just to hide and protect her

NGL, that was one of the most brutal take downs I've read in a long time. To be told, to your face, that your own daughter not only thinks she is worth less then a orphaned commoner slave should be heart breaking, but having her actually try and pay for her own freedom should be enough emotional damage for him to slit his own throat.

Nah, that ought to be quite a bit more than the price of a Subway sandwich. We haven't really been introduced to the money scheme of that universe, but assuming this isn't going for the inane yen-equivalent currency, those three very large silver coins could very well be an ordinary labourer's monthly salary. But then again, maybe you already know better at this point, having read more than seven chapters.
