Wow, Mielle truly is a stupid, prideful, and naive girl. She didn't even try to respect them when she was trying to get them to become her allies, that's something that take time care for it to happen. She also should have asked her father for help because the only way to get them to be by her side is to make businesses agreements with them. Instead she thinks a couple of tea parties, rude comments on their lifestyle, and offering brooches as though it was some branding mechanism that would get them to her side. They are adult woman who have experience with businesses, they would have spotted an unbalanced deal a mile away. Mielle, doesn't even respect them as adult women or even try to understand them in the slightest, just thinking that the world would bend over for her and destroy whatever pests that come her way. She's not even the Duchess yet, but she uses the Frederick symbol as though she owns it. She's as childish as the way she dresses.
