Chapitre 209: ripples of rebirth

"There is some misunderstanding, Marianne. I am Sylvia. Do you remember me? We have met before in the town. I saw your carriage here so I just stop by to give my regards. I hope i am not disturbing you"

"But your..'' my words halted as I looked at her eyes who were looking at the people behind me and only then did I notice she was not wearing clothes of an empress. Was she in disguise there? But since when was she allowed to move freely? That was an improvement!!

I stood up straight as I smiled, "it is very kind of you, Sylvia. Would you like to have a tea with me, i can book another room near by"

"Mari, I thought you are going to stay here with us," said Jamie through gritted teeth.
