"Do you like the drink?" asked Mischa, clinking his glass to Fae's. The girl nodded.
"Uhm ... I can't say no because ..." Fae didn't continue her words. She just looked away, trying not to look at Ren who was in her line of sight.
Her chest felt heavy because she had seen Amelia coming over to Ren and his grandparents at their table. Amelia came with her father and mother. Fae could see an aura of nobility in Amelia's parents. Lord and Lady Genevieve wore extravagant clothes and had some emblems emblazoned to show their aristocratic family.
When she saw Amelia and her family standing beside the king's table and looking friendly with each other, Fae again felt inferior. She realized that she could not be compared to Amelia by her lineage and educational background.
Physically, Fae was much prettier and more attractive than Amelia, but what did her physical appearance mean compared to all the things that money can't buy? Heredity, class, and education.
