She flushes slightly in embarrassment at his question. "Ah...no, I had never left my house prior to meeting you." She sounds almost ashamed to admit it, but there was no benefit in lying about it. It wasn't as though it was her fault that she was confined to her room. "However, it was not my personal decision - it was one made by my family. I do not believe they intended to shield me from the world for the sake of just doing so, but...I suppose they wanted to protect from the dangers of the world, out of fear that they would lose me once again."

She pauses momentarily. "...I suppose I should clarify. I do not know if your mother told you this, but if it weren't for her generosity and her wisdom, I would not be standing here today." She gives a bittersweet smile; while she's undoubtedly grateful that Therese saved her life, she feels as though if she had died back then, she wouldn't be burdened with the expectations of her nobility. But if she died back then, she never would have met März, the light of her life. Despite those thoughts, she continues on.

"I suspect you do not know this, but I was born with a poor constitution. Sometime after my birth, I suddenly stopped breathing and was then buried beneath the ground. However, my mother refused to accept that I was dead, demanded that I was dug back up, and hurriedly sought your mother's aid. I do not know what she did, but...if it weren't for her, I would not be alive. I am truly indebted to her. I simply wish that I could have...could have..." Saved her, she thinks.
