Zenobia hadn't been allowed out since that fated shopping trip. Thankfully, her best friend was also her cousin, so she had seen Flora when she and Aunt Rufina had come to visit.

Her Favourite Aunt of All Time, Auntie Camilla, would come visit that day. Zenobia looked up to her because she was pretty and confident and hosted the best parties.

She had come to have tea with her mother, but at some point her mother was called by one of the servants. Zenobia used the opportunity to creep inside the sitting room, where Auntie Camilla was sitting on her own.

"Auntieee!" Zenobia greeted cutely as she sat next to her and hugged her. When she released her from the hug, she looked at her with her well practiced 'sad' face. "Oh Auntie I'm so sad! Papa has me locked away like- like Rapunzel! He told me I can't see you, or anyone! Auntie, I missed you so much!"

None of that had happened, but Zenobia thought the best strategy against her father was to paint her the monster so she could win everyone else's sympathy.
