Capítulo 96: Raven's Suspicion

"No, I think I feel terribly tired. I should get some rest for today." She barely managed to stand up but had to sink back into her seat as her legs finally felt the exhaustion from before.

The energy it took to confront Arjan had drained her completely.

"Madame!" The frightened butler immediately came to her aid. His concern was genuine, his eyes filled with worry. "Are you alright? Maybe I should call the doctor…"

"Please, keep this a secret from the Duke. I don't want him to be aware of this shameful behavior of mine," Seraphina pleaded, her voice trembling slightly.

"Madame…" The butler sighed inwardly at Seraphina, who was smiling ever so softly. He immediately felt sorry for her, knowing she was putting up a strong act.

Her vulnerability was heartbreaking to witness, and he wished he could do more to ease her pain.
