Capítulo 208: two swords in a scabbard!

"Would you like to order something, my lady?" I asked as the silence ensued after her introduction.

She had not spoken a word as she continued to look out of the window and then at the door. I could only deduce that she was shy but her face was not at all looking like she was embarrassed or interested in having a conversation. Even her servant was standing in such a stiff position as if she was a knight in disguise, that gained my further attention.

All I could do was curse Mari  for my predicament. She could not spare me some time even when she was at marquees palace.

"I would wait for the duchess, if she is going to come back" she said with a slight anger and I raised a brow.

Since when lower nobles started calling duchess like that!

"My lady, I guess there is some misunderstanding '' I started when the door knocked again, gaining our attention.
