It's [[DownplayedTrope more comfortable than most cases of this trope]], however, and looks like a GildedCage, and Elizabeth is still given the minimal luxury and education of a noblewoman, and her existence isn't a secret either, given she still attends to the RoyalSchool at age 14.


Added DiffLines:

As a result, her parents leave her at the domain's mansion while they live in the capital, intending to see her as some kind of embarrassment or worse. That said, [[DownplayedTrope her case is more comfortable than most cases of this trope]] provided Yumiella is still accorded luxuries suitable to her status, including a personal maid as well as private tutors.
