Chapter 24: The informant
>>Corvina
Days went by quietly. It was decided that I would visit the palace to meet Lyal twice a month. It was the same as last time and I agreed.
I was looking out the open window enjoying the breeze when there was a knock on the door, right as the clock struck noon.
It was the busiest time in the mansion so I wondered who was there.
"Come in," I answered and the door opened.
I turned to look expecting to be Tracy or Hael but it was neither. There is never going to be a day when my father or brother come to visit me, so who was this woman?
"My Lady," The plain looking maid with twin braids bowed as a greeting. She looked awfully familiar for some reason but I couldn't put my finger on it, not at first.
"Come closer," I told her as I turned my body in her direction while I kept sitting on the chair.
"Yes," She was a bit chubby and when she got closer and the sunlight hit her face, I saw she had a lot of freckles. Something pinched at the nerves in my brain.
I know her, but from where?
"Why are you here?" I asked.
