Capítulo 61: Grandmother's house

When Mallory and Hadeon arrived at the Van Doren castle, Mallory was out of the carriage faster than a squirrel. She didn't even wait for Barnby to open the door, even though he was quick on his feet and stood ready by the door like a well-trained butler.

"Lady Mallory?" Barnby muttered, his eyebrows raised at the sight of her dash towards the castle entrance.

"Let her be," Hadeon replied, a hint of amusement playing at the corner of his mouth as he casually descended from the carriage. "She'll circle back soon enough," he stated in confidence, because they were going to head out soon. 

Mallory breezed through the corridors, throwing cautious glances over her shoulder. Just as she turned back around, she nearly jumped out of her skin as George suddenly appeared in front of her.
