MERISSA trembled and bowed as low as she could. "Y-Your Grace, I apologized. I-I didn't plan to conceal my real i-identity. Me ending up in Hanover manor was truly just a c-coincidence. I'm n-not here because I have some u-ulterior m-motive. Truly, Your Grace. I do not harbor any ill intention to y-you or anyone living in this m-manor. Please, please, believe me. I will immediately p-pack my bags and leave. But please, Your Grace, I hope that my s-stay in here won't get out in the public. A-and if- if you could find it in your heart, I hope that you can forgive my unintentional deceit."
