Kapitel 46: Eve's Return

Even though it was the weekend, Leonor decided not to go back to Burien as she often did in the winter. The roads were dangerous and requesting a carriage was expensive - her father was sure to bring up this fact each time she came home. Yet he complained when she didn't return home enough, saying that she wasn't taking her role as heiress seriously. 

There was truly no winning with such a man. 

Deciding to hold onto her peace for a while longer, she blamed her staying there on studying even though she was waiting for Eve to return. Sending a message to Burien Manor was so much easier than having to go there and face her family herself.

It had been over 24 hours since the familiar left for the capital to find more information on the state of King Stephano III. He finally had a coronation and had started to rebuild his trusted council but movement was slow because many were wary of him. She knew that he was mistrustful of others as well.
