It was a joyful day and that joy began to spread out from the walls of the manor. From the small orphanages where Lady Maxiel spends time to look after to the gatekeepers that guarded the City gates, the news of the kind Lady brought a smile to their faces.
The Fraunces Manor was more joyous, filled with life within the cold city.
A few days later, within Lady Maxiel's room, the lady herself was shocked about the news of her illness. At first, she thought she had only slept for a day. She did recall feeling unwell but she didn't realize that she was almost unconscious for almost a whole month!
