Being the sole heir of a prestigious family isn't as beautiful and as glorious as most people thought it to be.
Especially when that heir is a woman.
Lily grew up with her every action analyzed under a microscope. She can't hide anything; she had no privacy. Anything she says and does will be known to the family, who will then critique her actions very closely because of her status.
She never grew used to their stares; she just learned how to live with it since they're not going away anytime soon. If anything, she even developed a faint sense when somebody's watching her.
It's too much, and she always longed for an escape. Even her room couldn't give her the privacy that she craves.
"Look. I didn't summon you here to scold you." Her father sighed, somehow looking older than he actually was.
"I know," Lily muttered softly. "Just reminding me of how it is. I already know that; I've never forgotten, don't worry."
