Theadora Kiramman never knew how to listen. Ever since she was a child, she detested every single rule presented to her, every single norm that was expected of her. She would barely spare a glance before running away from a party, hiding in her alcove of chaos and freedom.
Theadora never learned anything from the dozens of reprimands her parents gave. She didn't like when others told her what to do, what to wear, how to act. Who cares! She would say. The younger version of her could never understand why a person had to be fit into a box to be presented to society.
Of course, as she grew older, she became more accepting of the ribbons that tied her hands. With the position and power that her family held, Theadora knew she couldn't act carelessly anymore. And before anyone can fool you, dear reader, Theadora did this for her own sake, on her own terms. Though she never felt guilty for being a rebel child, she did take pity on her parents.
