I've never had much opportunity for manipulation. Kept mostly to myself back home. Worked long hours on the farm. Didn't interact with anyone but Buttercup and her folks that much.

But one day the Count stopped by and he brought the Countess with him. Said he wanted to know about our cows, which was such an obvious lie, you'd think the Count would be better at lying by now. Anyway, the Countess was looking at me, you know looking at me. Buttercup was watching us. I looked back.

I used the Countess to make Buttercup jealous.

It worked wonderfully, by the way.
