She applauded Bainbridge for his tactical response. “I have to admit that you just gave probably the best answer” she joked before he asked who her sister was. “unfortunately no, my sister and I both were unable to attend. So as much as I wished what you are saying is directed at my family, I can’t” she spoke with a genuine sadness Since she wholeheartedly wished for her sister to stand out to the queen in every way other than the one they have now.
When he mentioned that his aunt, it reminded her of her sister. “My sister is like that as well. Despite the family circumstances she has been preparing us for our season so my papa and mama can focus on the family business. Her husband is currently taking care of their baby” she explained. It was no secret that my sister was married, but my sister insisted to keep the family name for a little longer.
When she curtsied, he made a comment about the reason behind it despite their high social rank. “A title is just a title, its fragile and can be earned or taken away at any moment. Our family comes across people of all ranks, we know that connections are stronger than titles. Besides, you neger know where you end up. For all we know the queen will choke on one of the appetizers and you safe her, earning a rank as a result” she explained even though in reality she just didn’t care to bother seeing who ranks higher or lower. “you hardly can go wrong showing too much respect” she added.
