Chapter 341: Grandfather’s Mischievous Plan Onset
"Achoo!" Sylvia sneezed for the third time, her nose turning red from the persistent sneezing.
"My lady, I believe you are unwell. Your body temperature seems slightly elevated. It would be wise for you to stay behind and rest," her personal maid advised, gently brushing her hair.
"No way! Are you out of your mind?" Sylvia exclaimed, her reflection in the mirror revealing her anger upon hearing the maid’s suggestion. The maid’s shoulders jolted in surprise at her sudden outburst.
Sylvia turned to her personal maid with a grouchy expression.
"This is my best friend’s betrothal ceremony! How can I possibly miss it just because of a few sneezes? Besides, it’s the first time my grandfather has allowed me to spend the night out without a chaperone! Opportunities like this are rare, and I won’t let them slip away so easily!" she scolded her personal maid.
The maid looked down guiltily.
"Forgive me, my lady. I was only concerned for your health."
"Stop worrying unnecessarily! Now, go and check if my carriage is ready! We should be departing soon. I don’t want to miss the event," urged Sylvia, turning back to the mirror to finish her makeup.
"Yes, my lady," the maid replied, placing the brush down and hurrying towards the door.
Once Sylvia finished her makeup, she stood up and adjusted her appearance before the long-standing mirror at the corner of the chamber. She scrutinised her reflection from different angles, ensuring her appearance was elegant for the evening’s event.
Just then, Sylvia’s personal maid rushed into the chamber, her face clouded with worry.
