It was just like a normal day as I soaked in the sun behind our castle. It was a beautiful garden with many kinds of trees, plants and shrubs. I was reading a book that I took from our library.
"Rose, can you come inside for a moment?" My mother called as I sighed.
I guess it was time...
Time to do the needling. I didn't like it. And it was a waste of time since I wouldn't need it ever.
Despite of my displeasure, I stood up, leaving the book which was unfinished.
I went inside and saw the same healthy lady whom I had been seeing for over a year now. It was the lady trainer my mother has hired for my first appearance in the society. It was the same bland looking gown and an old scarf on her body. I knew she was getting fairly good wages for teaching me all sorts of things an ideal lady needed to know for finding her partner yet she never once tried to make herself fancy at all.
My mother said, "Go with her, Rose... You need to be perfect in your needling."
