Chapter 355.2
A resonant knock reverberated through the room, disrupting Dana’s focused perusal of documents. Unswayed, she kept her gaze fixed, assuming it was the housekeeper arriving with the customary tea tray.
“Madam,” the housekeeper greeted.
“Leave it and go,” Dana instructed, her attention tethered to the papers.
“We’ve received a letter,” the maid revealed.
“At this hour…?” Dana raised her head, catching a subtle flicker of anticipation in the housekeeper’s expression. A hunch fluttered across her consciousness, prompting Dana to swiftly rise from her seat.
“From the kingdom?”
“Yes, Madam.”
“Hurry, hand it over.”
The housekeeper, a fixture in Dana’s life, observed a rare departure from her stoicism. Dana’s unbridled joy, akin to that of a girl cherishing her innocence, painted a delightful tableau. Hence, each time the housekeeper prepared to deliver a letter, the anticipation of Dana’s pleased reaction heightened the overall excitement of the moment.
