Before we continue, I want to make it clear that this is set in an older age which leans to patriarchal values. In addition, aristocratic children have to grow up fast. Especially those who have to carry their family. As nobles, they have a responsibility to fulfill and those responsibilities begin very early, whether they like it or not.
They might be children but not all children are given the opportunity to be children. I could skip the part with the kids and go straight to when they are slightly older but I think it's best if I cement the foundation.
If you've read so far, thank you. I really appreciate it.
P.S. this novel might be a little longer than I expected. Also, as for my sister: stop reading the novel aloud while I'm right next to you. ISTG.
I've been really enjoying it so far! Your writing is clear and concise; very easy to follow. I also dig the main character. She's been pretty passive so far, but I really relate to how she seems a little depressed and feeling trapped by her fate. Can't wait to read further!
It seems I have farther to go as an annoying sister
That's cool I appreciate you putting so much work setting the foundation. It's very clear from the tea party scene and her brother that none of the kids she's meet are really allowed to just exist. Every one of them is a pawn and a player and most of them will lose.
It’s a lovely novel but I’m curious as to why you chose to write the novel in the 2900s. It’s original in way but I’m really curious if there was a reason to doing that...
Err I just set the story like 2900 years into their world calendar. Wasn't really thinking when I did it.
Haha, thank you. I love long stories so something like this is a blessing. Love your sister by the way. She's probably teasing you but if she read the story fully to you then she's probably enjoying it as well. Looking forward to the future chapters!
