"Damn it!" She muttered to herself.
The Duchess, with her strict standards and an ironclad rulebook on noble conduct, had made it clear that Adeline's education in nobility was a top priority. Adeline groaned, dreading the morning ahead.
This was not the plan! I repeat this was not the plan! She had seen with her own two eyes how scary the Duchess was. She commanded the room. And she would not give anyone a chance to refuse her!
Her words were the law. Adeline cried invisible tears, she was going to get hit, wasn't she?
As soon as dawn broke, the maids rushed into her room to wake her up. She was still very sleepy and didn't understand what was happening.
The room was bustling with enthusiastic maids, birds were chirping outside. The maids drew the curtains which flooded the room with light.
"The classes will be starting soon, Miss, no time to waste!" They tried to usher her into the bathroom to get her ready. But the child groaned, she didn't want to wake up at all!
