"I hate my father!" Tine roared and Helga kept her head low. "How can he adopt some random orphan? It doesn't make any sense!"
The feeling of having a stranger in their family was unreasonable. Tine hated the idea of having someone else being part of the family. She was worried that her reputation would get destroyed.
Even if Tine hasn't met the to-be-soon-sister of hers, she didn't like the count's attention to be on someone else. It was unfair to her.
Not only that, she felt betrayed. Isn't having one daughter enough? Why would you go that far to have another child in the family? 'It's ridiculous. It feels like you're betraying mom.' Tine thought with pure hatred.
Knowing that once the count has made up his mind, Tine wouldn't be able to do anything. It was frustrating for her, but all she could do was to sit and watch.
"We are not going to play friends with her," Tine said with resentment.
