Chapter 199: A Mansion Under Attack
The carriage engraved with the Grey family’s emblem continued its journey, the sound of the rolling tyres creating a rhythmic backdrop for the three women inside.
Growing restless and anxious, Meredith let out another sigh, the weight of the situation pressing upon her.
"Let’s just hope they’re still there and haven’t yet returned to the duchy," she voiced concern, her gaze turning to Sylvia, her friend.
Sensing the tension in the air, Rania tried to comfort them.
"I’m sure they’re still there, my lady. It takes time to make preparations for a long journey. So they might haven’t departed yet," she offered a glimmer of hope in her words.
Meredith’s frustration overflowed, and she directed her glare at Sylvia, her anger palpable.
"I swear, if they did leave, I’m going to smack your head and give you a good beating for three days straight!" she scolded, her voice laced with both irritation and concern.
Sylvia, the count’s daughter, wore a remorseful expression, realising the consequences of her actions.
She quickly interjected, "I’m sorry! I was just so angry because she kept her identity from us, not because of who she is!"
Her words carried her regret, acknowledging the complex emotions that had fueled her outburst last night.
As the carriage neared its destination, the women braced themselves for the meeting with Anna, unsure of what lay ahead. The mansion loomed closer, its grand facade appearing on sight.
