Chapitre 78: Chapter 78: Thirty Years of Waiting

Throughout the ride the girl didn`t dare to ask Stroph a single question, which made the atmosphere a little tense, though it was only for the girl herself.

Stroph was just sitting at the back seat, and enjoying the comfortable trip, looking at the city through the window. He didn't care at all that they were driving in complete silence, he was quite happy with the way things were going.

A few minutes later the girl respectfully said: "Mr. Stroph, we have already arrived." 

The car stopped and Stroph saw a tall building, resembling a skyscraper. 

The girl quickly got out of the car and hurriedly opened the doors for him.

"Please, follow me, I`ll take you directly to Mistress Violet." 

They headed straight for the main entrance, where a path lined with stones was going to. There were two small gardens round the road, one of which had specially pruned shrubs in fanciful shapes, and the other had a real living spring.
