Milly found herself momentarily lost for words among the crowd as she overheard her classmates praising Stephanic.

Isn’t military training a common experience for everyone at camp? Stephanie’s no different from the rest of us, so what makes her participation seem extraordinary?

Stephanie, with a smile, modestly accepted the accolades. Once everyone had said their piece, she humbly responded, “Thank you, but you’re giving me too much credit. I want to fit in with everyone and not be singled out for having a ‘princess complex.

Her admirers didn’t miss a beat and jumped in with more praise.

“Stephanie, your modesty is so commendable. You’re the most grounded heiress I’ve ever met.”
