nat was never by any means enthused with her social status. she spent day after day gruelling and working in her family’s bakery. being the daughter of a peasantry baker was of little appeal, even to those who were already at the bottom of the social hierarchy.

her work consisted of slaving away at breads and cakes. yes, her father’s business was bustling and considerably ‘successful’ every week, but all the money earnt was poured back into the bakery; leaving only the bare minimum to survive off of.

thus, new clothes or jewellery were a far dream. even a bottle of wine or a small meal from an upper-class restaurant: a dream.

so, anyone with half a mind could imagine nat’s hatred and prejudice against those who were economically successful. even those with family wealth— like members of the royal family. nat hated those who looked down on people like her, and she was adamant that anyone with a shit ton of money was, honestly, egotistical and selfish.

that’s why nat is wary at first when you enter her family’s bakery. dressed in your pretty little babydoll dress with your long, healthy hair and perfect dark makeup.

the stupid princess. the lucky daughter of the king.

nat tries not to glare— she can’t ruin her family’s reputation. the bakery is too important of an income to lose, even if it means swallowing back the angry words that threatened to spill out. in fact, a princess coming to the bakery is good, her father would be ecstatic. the more royalty walks in, the more others will follow. the more people walk in, the more money that her family will get.

although yes, nat is still jealous. silently jealous of your stupid extravagant castle when all nat wanted was a new pair of pants, or even a new fucking apron.

“what can i get for you?” nat says, tone as positive and lighthearted as possible.

she sees you scan the pastries and cakes under the glass window beside the counter, and nat winces inwardly.

she knows what people like you will say, this is disgusting, filthy. you eat this shit? because that’s what everyone with money says when they step into the dim-lighted bakery.

nat taps her nails on the counter impatiently, scanning your stupidly pretty face and looking at your dumb jewellery.
