Chapter 287
“Ah, Milady!”
As soon as she returned to her room, her personal maid, Mary, greeted her brightly.
She had just finished drawing the curtains. Violet, standing in her now-brightened room, was about to say something but quickly closed her mouth.
“A letter arrived for you, Milady. I haven’t checked the contents, but judging by how it came, I think it’s safe!”
Violet often received various letters, including invitations. Recently, even anonymous letters filled with insults had arrived.
Briefly concerned it might contain something problematic, Violet soon had to smile faintly as she glimpsed the familiar handwriting.
[ Dear Ducal Lady,
I hope you are well and without any worries. As it’s difficult to see you in person, I write you this letter instead. ]
The handwriting was elegant, though there were many faint indents of crossed-out lines, showing how much the writer had agonized over the opening. Violet chuckled, imagining how many sheets of paper must have been wasted just to write that one sentence.
