Chapitre 224: 220, Up-and-Coming Author: Anne Mecklen

While Charlotte patiently awaited news from Krel Brittany, Anne arranged for fifteen skilled scribes to work with him. Every day, Charlotte would recite five thousand words, and then immediately another scribe would take over, keeping them all working at top speed. Incredibly, they managed to produce fifty to sixty thousand words each day.

These manuscripts would then be sent to a publisher with some connections to the Brittany Family. By evening, the drafts were organized into final copies, illustrated, and every sixty thousand words were compiled into a volume. In just seven days, the first volumes of two books were on the shelves of every major bookstore in Strasbourg.

Charlotte, a person deeply concerned with his image, insisted on not revealing his name on either book and even gave the naming rights to Anne. After confirming that he truly did not wish to have his name attached, she published the two novels under the pen name Anne MacLennan.
