The dinner continued fine. After the initial awareness of class disparity, Thea's family realized that neither Victoria nor Henry acted haughtily when spoken with.
They were closer to regular children, who carried way too many responsibilities on their young shoulders.
Victoria's way of speech became especially apparent to everyone at the table. She didn't speak like a princess, or the daughter of their Goddess.
It was similar to a soldier's, and not an officer's, but a frontline trooper's speaking pattern.
She seemingly strove for minimal cursing, yet a couple always slipped in.
Victoria immediately apologized afterward, even though everyone just laughed it off. Henry always found her embarrassment endearing, while Thea's family just couldn't believe how bashful Victoria was.
They only saw her from afar at events, and for all her speeches and interviews, she put on a mask of confidence, hiding the cute little girl beneath it.
