I Can’t Eat Love pt 10

Here it is guys! Here’s part 10, we’re at 23k words! I made the master post with links to the story and will just link that at the top from here on out!

Link to master post here.

Enjoy!

__________________________________

Ten months passed, faster than I could have imagined.

The store “Prosperity” took off. True to her word, Milane had improved upon my own designs, and after showcasing the dresses at a few parties, (I had reluctantly resumed my social responsibilities, reminding myself it was for the business), and the orders came in, faster than we could fill them. Expanding production, Milane hired a few more seamstresses, and even then we were stretched thin. We continued making and selling new designs, however, with plans to open up another store before the next season.

The Duchy thrived alongside my business. The officials I “retired” left without further complaint, and their replacements worked hard to gain experience and independence. Until they were completely trained however, the bulk of the work was left to Nile, Terrence and Me. We met weekly, going over accounts and day to day issues in great detail. Fortunately we worked well together and rather than resenting the hands-on approach I took, they seemed relieved.

“The Duke just always told us to do what we thought best in difficult matters.” Nile confided one day. “But with no idea of the overall financial state of the Duchy, it’s hard to make these sorts of decisions. With you in charge, things are running much smoother.”

Seeming to realize the improperness of what he had said, he panicked, waving his hands. “Not saying that the Duke is incompetent! He’s a very kind man! And as a leader… of course he…” he paused as if trying to think of something else good to say about my father.

I chuckled, trying to relieve the poor man’s misery. “It’s fine. Father’s gifts lie… in other directions. “ I had no idea as to what direction that was, but as long as he stayed out of my way, I was content.

No longer hemorrhaging money, I was able to work on improving the infrastructure of the area, improving the safety and stability of the roads, increasing the schools and preparing some previously unused land for farming.

Marile, looking ahead to our second store, convinced me to use some of our profits to open up a vocational school for seamstresses, taught by people she trusted. We charged a minimal fee, funding those who couldn’t afford it, and waited excitedly as they gained skill. I planned to hire some of the top students upon graduation, and as the number of skilled workers increased, the duchy of Armeny began gaining a reputation as the place to buy well-made clothes.

The success spread, and I was already being approached by other trades to expand the school to cover their professions as well.

__________________________________

I continued my lessons with Jim and Nate, although the assigned reading was decreased as more and more of my time was taken up with the business and the duchy. Instead, Jim had me bring practical issues and questions to the class regarding economics or governmental structure, and we worked though it together. I was often able to implement some of the answers we came up with, continuing to benefit my home.

Nate and I settled into a comfortable pace. He was the calm one in class, frequently mediating between Jim and me when we began to get too loud about a certain subject. He listened well, and when he did speak up it was with purpose, often coming up with ideas that caught me by surprise.

“You should build a place that provides food for people who are starving.” After class one day, he was escorting me back to the carriage in thoughtful silence before suddenly bursting out with that suggestion.

I stopped in my tracks. “What do you mean?”

“I mean, it’s something that you obviously care deeply about, and since you’ll manage to free up some extra funds with the changes we came up with today, I thought it might work! ” He continued as he stopped as well, gesturing excitedly with his hands. “Think about it, a place where people who are starving can come by and have a meal. You can ask for donations and volunteers to offset some of the costs, it should be doable…”

He trailed off, staring at me with an uncertain expression. “Sorry, I got excited on my own, maybe it isn’t the best idea.”

__________________________________

“Do you have any food?” A young boy pulled on my leg, the bones too prominent on his already small for his size face.

I looked down at him, already feeling lightheaded and weak. I hadn’t been able to find work. I hadn’t had a full meal since Rig’s gang had been split up most of them lost, dead or imprisoned. I had begged on the street, only managing to earn enough for some bread, hardly enough to fill my stomach. I wanted to cry, but held my tears, they wouldn’t solve anything.

The boy saw my distress and slumped, sitting down beside me, as I hung my head, feeling hopeless.

“It’s okay.” He mumbled, using a dirty hand to gently pat my head, trying to comfort me. “I’ll help you.” A small hard object was pressed into my hand. I looked down at it, surprised. It was a regular stone, a little shiny but otherwise there was nothing special about it.

“It’s my lucky stone.” He tried to smile, tried to appear brave for me. “You can have it. It will protect you.”

I thought about the bread in my pocket, it wasn’t enough to fill me, but for a child…

“Here.”

I handed him the bread, leaning back with my head against a wall, closing my eyes to keep tears from falling. I wasn’t going to last much longer. I had long given up hope for myself. But that boy... maybe he would survive.

And that was something.

__________________________________

“Lenora?” Nate called out, concerned. I shook my head, I had been silent too long, thinking of a different life, a different fate.

One I wouldn’t wish on anyone.

I smiled at him; ignoring his visible shock at I did so. “Tell me more about this idea of yours.”

__________________________________

Between running the Duchy and the business, as well as continuing lessons and socializing with the nobility to advertise our new dresses, I was busier than I had ever been before in either of my lives. But despite the long hours and the hard work, I was surprised to find I was happy.

There was still just one thing keeping me from being fully content:

The royal etiquette classes continued, despite the mastery I had displayed. Mrs. Rendler had greatly increased the speed at which we moved through topics as well as the difficulty in each lesson. The advantage I had gained over the extra three years of training in my previous life dwindled, and I reluctantly began scheduling in time to study those topics as well.

I grew more and more frustrated each week. With all the other demands on my time, why was I bothering to waste any on learning something I would never use? If I were planning on trying to continue my engagement to the prince this would be worth it, but not even the chance to tackle management on a national scale could tempt me to stand by that worthless prince’s side.

I hid it, as best I could. Mrs. Rendler tried to keep the lessons fun and varied, likely sensing my lack of enthusiasm. We learned new dances, tried exotic foods and studied different cultures. It was interesting and I appreciated the effort the older woman placed on keeping me focused, but there was still one, unavoidable problem with the lessons:

Queen Amerande.

She was present every single week, as she had been in my previous life. Smiling, cheering me on, saying silly jokes to try to make me laugh, and picking arguments with Mrs. Rendler to distract her whenever the lessons were getting too difficult for me … she was every inch the mother I wish I had.

But it was a lie, and every minute I spent next to her was pure torture.

It all came to a head around ten months after I woke up in this second life. The etiquette lesson had completed early. I was packing up my books, planning to take a walk in the gardens to waste the time before my lesson with Jim and Nate in the treasury. Before I could leave, however, Queen Amerande held out her hand, gently stopping me.

“Can we talk, Lenora?”

I nodded stiffly, disliking the thought of spending any time alone with her.

Her smile slightly sad, she gestured for me to sit down, and after I was settled continued.

“Has your mother returned home yet?” The discomfort on her face made it clear she knew this was not going to be my favorite topic.

I sighed, leaning back and shaking my head. “No, she’s still with her family staying in the southern province.”

Or so she tells us. I thought of the contents of the file Rig had brought me, the second assignment I had given him after the blackmail for the duchy officials. It had only confirmed what I already knew from my previous life, but it had hurt more than I wanted to admit to see it in writing.

“She’s been gone almost a year!” Queen Amerande muttered, looking furious for a few moments before poorly hiding her anger behind a smile, trying not to upset me. After being surrounded by expert liars like Angela and Edith, it was almost amusing to see someone who couldn’t lie well.

That’s not true though is it? She lies all the time when she says she cares about me. My brain whispered to me, but I shrugged it off, not wanting to be distracted by the topic at hand. She was already asking another question.

“Will she be back soon?”

I wish she wouldn’t. In my last life, her trip had only lasted a few months, but that had been due to limited funds and our large amount of debt. Once I had most of our debts cleared, I had sent her some money, and thankfully she had continued to extend her trip as much as possible. The servants seemed grateful for the break from her critical presence and my father… he was happier than he’d been in years. But as relieving as this time away was, it couldn’t last forever.

“She’ll be back in a few weeks, before my sixteenth birthday.” I answered, watching her eyes light up at the topic.

“So yes, about that…” Queen Amerande hesitated, “I knew your mother hadn’t been… around, and your father…”

“Forgot.”

“I’m sure he… remembers… deep down.” She looked angry again, but not at me. “But the point is, I didn’t want you to have to plan your own party, so I’ve been making some arrangements.”

“...”

“Nothing that can’t be canceled if you don’t feel up to it, but I’d really like for you to have a chance to really have fun and celebrate with friends. You’ve been working so incredibly hard lately.” She smiled. “I know I don’t say this enough but… I’m so proud of you. I heard about the work with the duchy and the vocational school and even that charity to help feed those in need, it’s so amazing. YOU are amazing.”

She turned to the side to get something from her bag. I sat there, trembling, filled with anger, barely able to contain it. My fists were clenched, so tightly that the fingernails dug into my palms, starting to tear through the skin.

“I know it’s a little early, but I want you to have this:” She pulled out a necklace. It was beautiful, thin golden chains delicately interwoven, with a small sapphire amulet hanging from the longest strand. She placed it into my hand. “My mother gave this to me when I was a girl, and although I’m not your biological mother, I think of you as my own.”

My ears were ringing, the jewelry in my hand was cold, but felt like it was burning my skin

“I love you dear, and I always will.”

I could barely breathe, it felt like knives were stabbing me in the heart, I sat there frozen, staring at the gift I had once thought meant everything, but meant nothing.

“No matter what.”

__________________________________

“I love you, and I always will.” Queen Amerande hugged me, patting my back comfortingly with one hand.

I returned the hug, unable to hold back my tears of frustration and embarrassment. After being publicly humiliated at my own birthday party, I had come into the backroom to hide, She had been planning to give me her present, but instead found me a sobbing in a corner, and immediately dropped on the floor, ignoring the creases and dust that gathered on her expensive formal gown, comforting me. Once I had calmed down, she handed me a beautiful necklace, one I had always admired as a child, and reached out, wiping a tear from my face.

“No matter what.”

__________________________________

Thud.

The necklace slipped from my hands, falling to the floor between us.

“Liar.” My voice was quiet, but in the otherwise silent room she could clearly hear me. Her face paled and she tried to reach out for my hand, only to have me pull back, avoiding it.

“Lenora, what…?

“Stop lying. Please.” I forced the words out through gritted teeth, tears gathering in my eyes. “You won’t love me like your own child, and you won’t love me NO MATTER WHAT so please. Don’t lie to me. Don’t fool me into trusting you when you don’t mean it.”

I stood up, planning to leave, but she ran after me, standing in the doorway, blocking my only exit.

“Let me out.” I ordered, throwing etiquette and caution to the wind.

She shook her head furiously, her carefully styled hair coming slightly undone with the force of the motion. “No! Not until you tell me what this is about!” She was shaking, but her hands gripped the doorframe tightly, refusing to move. “I’m not lying when I say I love you like my own daughter. I’m not!”

“Easy words to say.” I was sneering, hating that my voice broke with tears instead of sounding stronger. “But when your precious son drops me in a few years, and I’m disgraced, then you’ll forget all about this ‘daughter’ you love so much!”

“…” She stared at me, horrified. “You think he… that I… “ She was stuttering, trying to work through what I had said. “Ronan wouldn’t cast you aside. And even if he did I…”

“I’m not an idiot, Your Majesty. So don’t treat me like one.” I interrupted her, laughing, but it was an unpleasant sound. “I’m not so foolish as to believe that a boy who has absolutely no interest in me will keep this engagement the moment he finds someone he likes better.”

“…” Queen Amerande was silent for a few moments. I noticed she looked upset, saddened at my words, but she didn’t look shocked, not at all. She had seen her son’s lack of interest in me as well. She knew exactly what kind of person Ronan was, and that he was capable of doing exactly what I said. I continued onwards, not wanting to hear any excuses or explanations.

“And WHEN he casts me aside. You’ll move forward just like everyone else will, without a thought spared for me.” I clenched my fists, wanting to run. “You’ll forget all about me. So please, keep that necklace. Give it to the woman your son actually WILL marry. Or a grandchild whenever they have one. Someone you truly care about. Not a placeholder. Not me.”

Having said what I wanted to say, I pushed past the Queen, running out of the palace. I skipped my lesson with Jim, getting into the carriage. And it wasn’t until I was there, protected by the window covers and safe from prying gazes, that I finally relaxed, put my head into my hands, and cried.

How to Build “The Dream Event Planning Team”

However, we’ve all experienced working with teams that weren’t so great. You know the ones—teams, where a few people carry most of the load or one person, doesn’t pitch in. Committees where people butt heads and argue. There’s no room for that in event planning. The cornerstone of a successful event is a dream event planning team where everyone has a role to play and eagerly contributes to the success of the event.

Why Your Event Planning Team Matters

It’s impossible to put together an event on your own. Even if you had the bandwidth for everything, which you likely don’t, there’s also the huge variety of skillsets required. You can’t be in multiple places at once. Skimping on event planners means the event will skimp in other ways, too. It’s simply impossible to have one person take care of the VIPs, welcome guests, and coordinate food and activities at the same time. That’s why a team is so important.

Having a strong team also helps with problem-solving. Each person brings a unique perspective to the event that can appeal to more guests or help find creative solutions. Many hands make light work, and working with people with a variety of skills can make planning an event less stressful.

Great teams don’t just happen. It takes work and effort to find the right combination of skills and personalities. Event planning teams aren’t a one-size-fits-all approach. What works for one event might not work for another event. The key is to understand the scope of the event and put the right people in place who can get results.

Although the actual layout of each event varies, the basic requirements don’t. Here’s the ultimate guide to putting together your event planning dream team. No matter the size or type of event, sticking with these basics can help you create the perfect planning team.

Start Here: Team Captain

This person is the team lead, president of event planning, event guru, or whatever fancy title you want to give them. They will be the visionary and make sure every breath the staff makes aligns with the overall goal of the event.

The team captain is the leader. They’re the person who keeps the team moving in the right direction. They set the tone and goals and share that vision with everyone else. If you’re the team captain, everything goes through you. You can and should delegate to other committees, but ultimately, the success of the event rests on your shoulders. You take responsibility if something goes wrong. The team captain also backs up their committees and gives them the support and encouragement they need.

Before gathering the other team members, the team captain should have a basic idea of the goals and structure of the event. They should know the event budget, date, theme, and type of attendees. Start with a vision. Then, share that vision with the rest of your team. Help them see the importance of their roles. Share your excitement and be a leader. Help team members when they get stuck. Much like a team captain in sports has the job of rallying his teammates and pumping them up to win the game, an event team captain also rallies the team. You call the shots and have the overall vision, but you also need to trust your team and make sure you put the right committees in place.

Program Administrators

Handling everything from catering to scheduling activities, the program administrators organize all the fine details of the event. This is arguably one of the most important committees. The team captain may have the overall vision, but the program administrators are the ones who make it happen. They coordinate all the details and logistics of the event.

Duties include:

Estimating attendance numbers

Creating audience personas

Inviting and taking care of VIPs

Selecting a venue

Doing the site walkthrough

Choosing a caterer

Developing a menu related to how many people will attend

Creating table seating arrangements

Selecting speakers, sessions, and topics

Detailing the program of activities

Creating a schedule of events, including timing and content

Scheduling entertainment

This committee should only be two people. This allows for there to be enough work for each person without too many cooks in the kitchen. The two people on this committee can bounce ideas off of each other, get a second opinion from one another, and easily communicate with the team lead and other committees. Much of what the program administrators do is towards the beginning of the event planning process. After all, you can’t market an event without a venue, and you can’t hype an audience if you don’t have presenters or entertainment.

Creative Committee

The creative committee somewhat speaks for itself. They are your in-house ideators and implementers of the media, marketing, attendee engagement, and more. The creative committee builds the brand of your event and ensures it’s consistent throughout the entire event, from pre-event marketing to an after-event survey. They’re the creative minds that add an extra flourish to create a memorable event that gets people talking.

The creative committee does everything from making sure your attendees and target attendees have all the information they need to getting them there and allowing them to have a great time.

The creative committee should have a strong understanding of the theme and goals of the event. How you design and market a large trade show is much different than how you design and market a shareholder conference. Let this committee have some free reign to let their creative juices run wild, but make sure that there efforts still tie into the strategic goals of the event.

Duties include:

Taking pictures and video during the event

Engaging with audience and media

Documenting all sessions and program of activities

Putting together multimedia presentations for sessions

Monitoring and posting to social media, including creating an event hashtag

Developing branding, theme, and visuals

Creating handouts and printed material, including the schedule of activities and program

Designing the catering menu and seating layout

Creating the event/venue map

Designing t-shirts and uniforms for staff and attendees

Creating and updating the event website and mobile app

Designing the event logo and swag

The creative committee can have a fairly intense job. This role is vital to making the event an venue aesthetically pleasing. Many teams use contracted labor for duties such as photography and videography.

The size of committee can vary, depending on the photographers for each room or activity, how many social media platforms are being utilized, and visual techs who put together photos and videos for the main sessions and multimedia marketing. A larger event could have full-time social media managers, while a smaller event may just have one or two photographers who can capture everything. Sketch out the creative needs of the event and make sure this committee is fully staffed. Check in during the event planning process to see if more team members need to be added.

Operations Liaisons

The operations liaisons are the doers or the labor of the event. This committee can be made up of employees from your company, hired help from event companies for AV, security, and set-up, or even volunteers.

The responsibilities of the operations liaisons vary greatly depending on the type of event. For a large concert or trade show, the operations liaisons could number in the dozens and be in charge of driving attendance and building buzz around the brand and event. A smaller event like a company picnic or niche conference might only require a handful of operations liaisons who focus more on logistics.

Duties include:

Setting up chairs and tables for catering, breakout rooms, and main sessions

Cleaning up and tearing down after the event

Tech support (if not included by AV production company)

Making sure the venue and the equipment are safe and secure

Ensuring the crowd is under control

Managing lines and crowd flow throughout the venue

Handling any disturbances

Engaging with the audience and hyping the crowd

Disbursing event swag

Distributing programs to attendees and entertainers

Answer questions and supporting attendees

The number of operations liaisons depends on the amount of work that needs to be done during an event. You may only need a large group of volunteers for before and after the event. However, it’s always important to have a team of trained techs and brute-force labor to handle any physical work that needs to be done. You don’t want to underestimate how many people you need and then have to call in people from other committees and pull them away from their responsibilities.

Having a detailed schedule of the event can help you know if you need operations liaisons during the entire event or just for specific times and activities. In general, the larger the event, the more operations liaisons you’ll need. The operations liaison committee is generally a great place to use volunteers because the roles don’t require much training. As long as someone can lift heavy materials or talk to people, they can take on these responsibilities.

Treasury Committee

The treasury committee handles the money. This includes the budget, payment disbursement, and funding from sponsors and grants. Without a solid treasury committee, your event might not have the funds to reach your goals. The treasury committee should be involved in the planning process from the very beginning stages. After all, the budget dictates the scope of the event. The treasury committee should be responsible and transparent to ensure the money is protected and used properly. Ideally, you want people who will stick to the budget and find creative ways to cut costs without sacrificing quality.

Duties include:

Creating an overall event budget

Coordinating with other committees for cost estimates and quotes

Getting funding from sponsors and grants, if needed

Setting budgets for separate committees

Receiving and/or disbursing payments

Keeping accurate record of all money going in and out

Approving quotes and providing means for payment

Overall, the treasury committee is responsible for anything related to money and record keeping. In most cases, the committee only needs to consist of two people. One person can coordinate budgeting with other committees, and another person can pay expenditures and keep track of transactions. For larger events, those roles can be broken up to include an additional two people.

Dream Event Planning Team

Planning an event goes much more smoothly with a proper team in place. This basic framework can be applied to any kind of event, no matter the size or budget. Just add more people for each role for larger events, and cut the number of people for smaller events. Remember that a bigger team isn’t always better. Choose the right people for the job and make sure they have enough work to do. The goal is to find the balance of having enough people to get the work done without too many people that it gets distracting with competing opinions.

When things are organized, everyone knows their role and can work according to their skills. Instead of waiting to the last minute to throw together a team, consider carefully who you put in charge of each committee. Spending time to solve the puzzle of the perfect team can be a strong investment in getting a great event.

Work together with your team and practice strong communication. Get everyone on board with what you are trying to achieve and share the excitement. Together, you can all complete your assignments and create the event of your dreams.

For anyone who is a the latest school grad, you are able to nevertheless use these ways. In any given site, there are actually typically a pick out couple of businesses that actively recruit the latest school graduates into BA roles. Find them. When you worked by way of faculty or actively leveraged internship chances, you'll have adequate expertise to take a position some time in step 2 and qualify your self for just a function demanding 2-3 years of knowledge. (For more data on how this works, browse Eric’s transition tale - he landed a BA career just 7 months outside of college or university.)

For those who pursued your MBA mid-career, be certain to endure all five actions as it is very likely there is a lot of experience to attract from. And ask your employer for opportunities to apply your MBA and create relevant specialist experiences (see step 4).

But what about business enterprise assessment coaching?

Good issue. Schooling is actually a implies to an close. Education is suitable if it helps you obtain the outcome from one of several 5 steps. Education alone will not be likely to allow you to turn into a business enterprise analyst. Which is why all my enterprise analysis schooling courses are action-based, that means you are taking concrete methods towards your BA job goal when you engage in this system.

You never need to have them! For anyone who is intending to be a BA on an IT task, you will want a specialized understanding. Here’s a write-up describing the difference and why we see technological abilities in BA jobs.

But let's say I never have small business area expertise?

Business enterprise domain knowledge can be a leverage level and lots of aspiring BAs are really profitable at leveraging experience in the distinct area to discover their first BA situation. However, if you don’t have skills inside a distinct domain, it does not imply you simply cannot turn into a BA, it just signifies that you choose to need to have to focus over the prospects exactly where small business area know-how just isn't these types of an essential qualification. Occasionally this can feel like looking for a needle in the haystack. But trust me, the opportunities are there. Retain performing absent at stage 4 and putting your feelers out.
