Maids and courtiers often joke that Lady Etheld was serving as chaperone to princesses across the duchies since forever. This is an exaggeration, though, for she has been around only for a few centuries. A stern governess, lady-in-waiting, and overseer for royal blood, she's beyond dead for a long time now. The age did nothing to mellow her, for her duty is her existence. Out of wedlock birth would throw out the lineage, mess with the bloodlines, and void the records. That can not be!
Very cool.
