Chapter 25

"Can you ever do anything properly ?" Sophia said sarcasm dripping from her voice. "Forgive me my lady" Thomas apologised as he wiped the table clean of wine. Which he had up spiltot the first time. "It was just a mistake. You don't have to be so snarky about it", Carina stated, tone sour. "Snarky ?" Sophia gasped. "Where did you learn such words from? This peasant boy ?" She pointed an accusing finger towards Thomas. He shook in fear. "He is not a peasant! And he didn't teach me anything!" She stood up from the seat, banging her hand on the table. "How dare you talk to your mother like that? Why are you like this Carina?!" Her mother screamed at the top of her lungs. Thomas saw the dramatic scene unfold in front of him, tears pricking at the corner of his eyes. "I am who I am! No one can change me! Not you, not anyone else!"
