Capítulo 208: The Lady's territory (2)

After lunch, Alexander and the Count chat in front of a cup of tea. I ask lady Elisabeth to have a walk in the garden.

Countess de Ruis leaves to her lodgings, but lady Lyana appears magically after her. Are they taking turns to watch me?

Because they don't want me to cause a ruckus?

«My Lady,» my lady in waiting greets me, bowing lightly. She doesn't just nod to me, as I've asked her to do.

I guess it's because of an outsider's presence.

«Good day, lady Lyana.» I smile at her. I thought she would stay in her chambers for a few days.

Her fingers are trembling unnoticeably, but she seems all right for the rest. She must be nervous, but she still came here to assist me.

She greets Elisabeth with a simple nod, and the girl just lifts her eyebrows in response.
