Nineteen years of being ordinary.
Meet Alex Fitz. Born to Ezra and Valentina with the name Alexandra Katerina Fitzgerald. She is a princess completely unaware of that fact. When her younger half brother shows up to make her aware of her royal stat...
According to Ezra, I have a poor attitude when it comes to talking to other people with different viewpoints than myself. I tend not to judge people, but when someone says something that I do not like - then I vocalize my unpopular opinion in a way that comes across as rude. He also says that my typical demeanor is harsh and unsettling. Rude.
I do not think someone could make that assumption after knowing me for less than two weeks.
No one in this kingdom sugarcoats the truth for others.
Dozens of people were coming into the room and they were having conversations with me. A media trainer sat off to the side and took extremely well documented notes about what I was doing right and wrong. Mostly wrong.
Each person talked with me for a few minutes and promptly left the room immediately afterwards. The media trainer came over and took a seat in front of me when the last person was finished with our conversation. She had pages and pages of notes written down. I did not think I screwed up that badly.
"I understand that you have been studying law since you were in grade school. Your responses are well thought out and concise when thinking politically and legally. However, you need to understand that as the princess and possible future queen, you need to give the same amount of respect to other royalty that you will be delegating with on a daily basis," she explained.
Wow. I did better than I anticipated.
"What if they are passive aggressive towards me?" I asked.
"Defeat them intellectually. If you feel overpowered by the men and women in a conference room, then you must take control of the discussion and bring the focus back to the topic of conversation. Do not let them deviate from the initial topic," she explained.
"So it's like interviewing a witness or even a suspect during a trial," I pondered.
The woman nodded her head. The group of people all came into the room individually. They all started new topics of conversation with me.
