Chapter 16: Customs
The rest of the day was spent with Mother on training, ever since it has been laws, laws, laws, laws... more LAWS.
This Empire was built solely on that word, LAW. It was beginning to make me more bored.
I sighed for the 5th time today.
"Do my lessons make you bored?" Mother asked in an unpleasant tone.
"No... no mother not at all" I said forcing a smile.
We were both in her library, a ton of books on the table before me, just waiting for me to read, I hope my eyes don’t gouge out first.
She held up the white slim cane she was holding.
"Sylvia my dear, you don’t slouch" she began tapping the cane at my back, I sat up.
"And you don’t place your hands on the tables like that" she states once again tapping the cane on my hands against the table.
I quickly pulled them down on my lap.
"Chin up".
