[Katherine wasn't really used to people 'catering' to her or nicer things. She'd grown up well enough to get by, but they'd counted the silverware every couple of months because it was one of the easiest things for her family to sell if they had to. Katherine wasn't even under consideration for any kind of title until her mad uncle decided that dressing her up in boy's clothes and teaching her how to duel with a sword was the perfect way to get back at Katherine's mother, his sister, for marrying a man he didn't approve of.]
It smells much better in the manor than it did in Riverside. I'm glad to hear about the time, though.
[That was really the only reason the fact that she was 'royalty' had any relevance at all. She had an obligation not to let things that were supposed to be under her supervision fall apart, although certainly Marcus and Artemisia could manage well enough if they would only have to do so for a little while.]
