Chapter 353: Ploy for the governess

Music Recommendation: RV: 297 "L'inverno": I. - Antonio Vivaldi

—

Marceline's coachman stopped the carriage at the centre place of the town Hollow Valley, where one could effortlessly notice the young vampiress making her entrance. Getting down from his seat, the coachman quickly reached the carriage's door and opened it, while he bowed. 

Soon Lady Aurora stepped out of the carriage, followed by Marceline. The people of the high society who were visiting Hollow Valley noticed the two women in their expensive dresses. They couldn't help but talk among themselves. 

"I didn't know the Hookes were close to the Moriartys," one of the passersby from afar whispered. 

Then came another remark from the onlooker near their carriage, "For the highly positioned Marchioness to be riding along with a young lady like Marceline, they must know each other very well. People of similar status do move together."
