"I will leave her to you, Auria. Remember, you have to exercise carrot and stick on her."
"Yes, ma'am. I will make sure to do it."
"You have spoiled her too much—other people have started seeing her as a rascal now. We need to stop her from being a complete rascal while we still can."
"But, ma'am, you are the one—understand, ma'am..."
"Good."
Looking at the interaction between Eliseus and her daughter's caretaker brings me an amusement and pain. The caretaker, after all, reminds me too much of my old self, who has a lot to say but doesn't have the courage to.
The way she fails her attempt to utter her defense in each of the blame Eliseus puts on her is really amusing, but uncannily nostalgic. For that reason, I want to laugh as much as I want to cringe.
