➥ One might imagine that, as a duchess, Cordelia’s life growing up was rather easy. And one would be right, despite being one of many sisters constantly clawing for attention Cordelia regarded her upbringing with the surprising wisdom that she was privileged from an early age. And although she was sheltered from those less fortunate than her, her inherent curiosity led her to ask questions about the lives of the staff around her. Both endearing herself to them and educating her on the fact that she was blessed with wealth and security without having to earn it.
➥ Cordelia, ever a listener, used the information gathered from the attendants and her ladies in waiting to gain a picture of the world that she was barred from. Gossip and stories became ammunition for her quiet rebellions. She knew knowledge was power, and to spite her parents she gained as much knowledge of forbidden subjects as she could. Most of them were anti-monarchy sentiments or tales whispered about magic. While she never participated, she bided her time and waited for any opportunity to surprise people with the fact that she was not as proper and innocent as she seemed.
➥ This desire to defy expectations at the right moment to maximize the dramatic impact of a grand reveal is the thing that ultimately led her to accept her husband’s marriage offer. It was not love for him or even to spite her parents, it was simply because it seemed like the most outrageous thing she could do at the moment. She wanted adventure and a story to tell, and she knew Demtrius was the best way to procure that. But she’s grown quite fond of him over the years, glad to have a companion at her side that is there because he wants to be, not because she has to be. She does not know if she deserves that.
【 ʜᴇᴀᴅᴄᴀɴᴏɴs 】
➥ She is very wary of childbirth and is trying to avoid the conversation of having children.
➥ She does not believe magic to be as bad as everyone says it is.
➥ She prefers the company of commoners.
➥ She’s skilled in embroidery, chess, and horseback riding.
➥ She hopes to live a nomadic lifestyle since she doesn’t like staying any place for too long. She finds stagnancy suffocating.
