Back at the mansion, Marylyn paced up and down, waiting for the retinue that had gone to pick up Arianna to return home.
It had been a few days, and she had been missing her daughter terribly. Paulo had reassured her that she would be fine and that she had nothing to be concerned about, but now that her daughter was returning, she was terrified and didn't know what to do.
She was curious about everything and just wanted to know what was going on and if everything was and would be okay now that trouble was brewing everywhere.
It didn't take long for a maid to rush up to her with good news: "Duchess, they're here!" exclaimed the maid.
When Marylyn heard that, she burst out laughing and said, "Set the table now, my baby will be starving when she arrives."
She didn't want her Madam to go crazy on her so the maid hurry away to do exactly what she had been told.
