I look up at the starry sky and stretch my arms. It's already seven in the evening, and I just finished working. I had a lot of work to do, that's why I decided to work overtime today.
"Good evening, Dame Csille. Did you finish your work today? Isn't it late?" The guard immediately greets me the moment I step out of the Foundation. He then looks around. "It looks like your carriage is not here today. Do you want me to hire a carriage for you?"
I look around too, and true to his words, our carriage is nowhere to be found. I frown. Our coachman usually waits for me until my work ends, so how come he isn't here? Did something happen today?
I was about to respond to him when someone spoke behind us. I look back and find a guard. The guard doesn't look familiar to me, and even the family insignia on his chest isn't familiar to me.
