Lmao. I remember I did the same thing, kicking my boy classmate when he was being annoying and rude and it bruised him so badly for weeks.
Nice moves you've got there madam.🤣
@Pringless 100%. Not only does he fill the same role and have the same relationship to the MC in that interaction as the protege/prince does later on, as well as having the exact same looks as the protege/prince [when in that same disguise again later on] as well as identical demeanor, but the "he seems to be the same age as my girls.. can you introduce him to my girls, what's your relationship to him, and is he respectable" thoughts/enquiries Mildred had starting at the end of Chapter 7 directly connects the character as being the one the girls have since interacted with.
