Chapter 82: Red silk ribbons [Bonus chapter]

Charles welcomed Édouard and Charlotte in the Wexnon palace. Édouard told Charlotte that he would see her later and left with Charles. Rainard also followed him while Charlotte left for her chamber with Zoe.

She sat on the chaise and removed her heels. Her entire body was aching from the long journey. "You should also take a rest," Charlotte told Zoe, who left the chamber.

A servant walked in and bowed to Charlotte. She informed Charlotte that she had filled the bathtub with hot water and other her outfit was in the bathroom.

"Should I help Her Grace?" the servant asked in a humble tone.

"Just help me remove this gown," Charlotte said and stood up to go to the washroom. The servant helped the duchess in taking off the gown. "I will be resting after taking a bath. I would not like to be disturbed," she stated.

The servant complied with Charlotte's command and left the washroom.
