Summary
I remember the parties. Oh, how father loved his lavish parties… On my twelfth birthday, I was permitted to attend my first party. Father would sit atop his throne with a chalice in hand and watch the guests as if they only existed for his entertainment. My human mother sat in the lavish chair to his right, and I sat in the chair to the left. Neither of us could get up without asking for his permission first. He would allow me to move about the room freely, but she was not to leave his side. When he stood up and left the ballroom, she was expected to follow, and the party would be over.
