Introducing Erika's Mother

-----

Cattalina's introduction brought havoc in my house, but my parents quickly composed themselves and greeted her better. However, both of them panicked slightly, rushing to their room, and getting their fanciest clothes. After all, they felt like this was the bare minimum when a noble, daughter of royalty, was stepping into our humble house.

I couldn't care less about manners though, but I let them be. I can understand them though, living as serfs their entire life and suddenly meeting someone of such high status must be shocking. After all, Cattalina's status is even higher than the Duke of our duchy, she's a princess of our Kingdom.

We invited her to our house and quickly cleaned a free room in the second floor for her. She planned to stay through the entire break with us, she said she was going to pay the rent though and offered our family a bag with thousands of gold coins, which my parents refused constantly, but that I ended convincing them to take.
