*** The next day.
"Lou, is the family that I'm going to, really a close family to the imperial family?" I asked as we were riding horseback to the estate that I was going to be living in. Based on how Raymond spoke in a proud tone of them, I couldn't help but be nervous that I wouldn't meet their standards whoever was taking me in.
I hated to admit that I would have to return to the castle as a potential mistress as they had a yearly call, where about ten ladies from random families would enter into the castle and get the feeling of the castle life, as we were the Future Mistress Candidates. I had no choice because Raymond's family was the very family that I had to apologize to and tell them about what happened that day.
