As they continued their leisurely ride, Emma couldn't shake off the feeling of inadequacy that lingered in her mind.

She stole glances at Princess Ross, marveling at her grace and confidence. It was clear that Rossalind Reed possessed a certain allure and sophistication that Emma felt she could never match.
