Of course... After all, what's worse? To have and then to lose? Or to never have had at all?
Those who were born into common families and then lost their freedom never suffered delusions. They knew that they never had the status to protect them, and they've had years to cope with the fact that this is going to be life now.
But I, a former noble lady? I expected to be waited on my whole life, and to live in comfort. To be robbed of that, and then forced to endure a life of hard servitude, in which my body is simply fuel for the comfort of others? The fine silks of nobility, exchanged for rough, meager rags that display just how underdeveloped my body is for the tasks that have been given to me and heavy metal shackles that remind me that my body no longer belongs to me. No longer will I get beauty rest - I must toil and serve and endure.
The common girls who became slaves have never sat on chairs or furniture, as only nobles have access to such things. They might wonder what it's like, to not have to kneel on the floor to eat after their owners are done. They might think about how unfortunate is that the labor of commonfolk has been exchanged for the harsher labor of slavery. But I? I know what I've lost, and I know I will never have it back. I know what it's like to live in comfort, and now I will spend 20 hours a day without rest so that others may enjoy that comfort I once had.
It wouldn't take long to break me, and for my defiance to be replaced by acceptance... this is my fate. Never again shall I be free.
