บท 79: A Fool

Elena immediately took an interest in the woman. If Elena could be of any use to her older brother, she would instantly take up the opportunity. She elegantly dipped her feet to lower herself in a curt greeting, but never bowed her head, for she was a Princess and the girl a Duchess.

"T-the pleasure is all mine, Princess Elena," Ophelia expressed.
