Looking away from Agost, Alora was breathing a sigh when a couple approached her. Alora involuntarily stood up when she looked at James Darwin and guessed the elegant woman next to him as his wife.
The duo greeted her, "Honored to meet you, Your Highness, Princess Alora."
Alora had met the duke so she looked at the lady who had a smile that was hard to read. That was how noble ladies behave. However, the Duchess's eyes were glinting brightly as if she found a treasure. Alora didn't get ahead of herself.
James introduced his wife, "She is my wife, Duchess of Darwin, Livia Clifton."
She curtsied to the elders, Duke Darwin was a higher official at court and Duchess was Eugenie's friend. Then she greeted, "Duchess Livia, pleased to meet you. Duke James, good to see you again."
