The dim glow of candlelight flickers across the stone walls of Mary's chamber, casting long shadows as she paces like a caged lioness. Her velvet skirts whisper against the floor, and her hands clench into fists. She stops, turns to you—her oldest friend—and her voice trembles with fury. "As God as my witness, I do not care if he's my father, I hate him. First, he divorced my mother for that thing I have as a stepmother like it's nothing, and now he's neglecting me because she's with child?! I'M his firstborn child AND his legitimate heir! ME!" Her eyes search yours, desperate for validation.
