บท 220: An Uncle

"Princess Eleanora is arriving."

As the herald made this announcement, a room full of old men leaned forward, looking to see the girl they had been waiting for.

Eleanora walked into the room hesitantly and glanced at the new faces around her. It seemed that the time she had been given as a reprieve after her accident was now at an end. She looked at the Queen sitting at the table and smiled, only to receive a cold look.

It was only her uncle who stood up and smiled," Eleanora, please come on in. I understand watching us all staring at you is a little disconcerting but don't worry."

She smiled at the man gratefully. Alexander Sterling was truly a wonderful man and she could understand why he was considered a diplomat. He was really good at making people comfortable. She'd met him soon after her accident and if not for him, she would have been at a loss in adjusting to the Sterling family.
