Bein' a princess is work. I have t'memorize th'lands, th'people, I have t'learn literature and poetry. I must know th'proper way t'react diplomatically once I become queen. [She may have been imitating Elinor at that last sentance.] Every single day of my life has been lessons about how t'keep our lands safe and secure, especially once I'm t'be betrothed and married.

[That's a bit off point so she'll take a breath to gather herself.]

We don't worry about money or food because our lands are well-tended. If th'people of DunBroch suffer, then th'royalty isn't fed. My mother and father make sure that we're all protected, safe and secure t'make sure that no one within our lands goes with out food or a place t'live. I don't know if it's like that every where, but that's how my family runs th'kingdom.

[Their family wasn't big on flaunting royalty as a title, rather it was a responsibility to her. One which she couldn't take lightly. She knew people's lives would rest her hands one day, which is part of the reason she was so hesitant to be thrown in to marriage. She wasn't ready to commit her life to a person, or ready to dedicate herself entirely to her people, not yet at least.]
