282 Life Updates with Nadia

It's been so long since I graduated from the academy and entered society— or that's how it should have gone. I should be entering society, which I did, but not for the right reasons. Me, a daughter of a marquis household, the pinnacle of what a lady should be, a role model for the young women of the nobility, has done nothing of the sort for these past few months.

I should have been throwing soirees, or matinees, or evening balls, or afternoon tea parties. I should have been steadily growing my contacts and affiliations with other ladies my age to stabilize my standing for the future. I should have been meeting my in-laws. I should have been managing something. That's what a noble lady of my rank should have done after leaving the academy.
