Honestly don't know what my mother saw in these people! The are super racist, misogynistic and have severe predatory practices! A ten year old should not be wearing a corset! She is TEN YEARS OLD! Good Goddess! No wonder grandma refused to go to tea parties and social gatherings. They are petty AF! They are absolutely despicable! I found them irritating and childish. I was angrier actually at my parents.
My Father and Stepmother have no concept of what their world could do to a child. They defend their way of life like its the best thing. That was the part that really chafed me today. If I wasn't a grown ass woman who knows who she is - 6 or 7 more years of this crap would legit kill me! I hope that after today I have nipped this nonsense in the bud.
Dad and stepmother were a lot snarkier with the backhanded compliments and the veiled insults I was getting when we were leaving. But I have wonderful Lord Argolas and the amazing Euclase. Oh let's not forget - Lady Issamaris (cue the angelic choir here). Just thinking of them put me in a better mood and helped me endure the "party".
I did meet Mr. Bastion today. He is the head of Prince Aron's staff. The butler and head spy I guess cuz that's what he was doing today. The Prince has suspicions that some of the nobles are total garbage and might harm his rule. I helped him out and the poor man cried. I kid you not, he cried cuz I taught him some spells. I am kinda scared now. I think Prince Aron might shape up to be a decent guy given how intelligent and loyal his head of staff is. I hope I can end this crap contract with a minimum of drama.
I am allergic to drama...
