After a while, Susan began to tremble.
"Feeling cold?" The man said suddenly.
Startled, Susan shook his head. "No, sir, I'm fine."
The man looked at Susan in silence but said nothing.
Fortunately, the soldier who had gone to ask for news had returned and brought back the news of the interview of the court lady in the waiting room by the back kitchen.
"Come with me." The man in silver armor walked quickly this time.
Susan had to trot to keep up. They made their way through an arcade to a building guarded by guards. Then the man led Susan through a smaller gate while the soldiers who followed him stopped and waited outside.
Thus, after passing through several corridors, the man in silver armor finally stopped in front of a room.
A maid-in-waiting stood at the door, surprised to see the man in silver armor, but immediately bowed respectfully.
The man said coldly, "Tell the lady I brought a girl for the interview."
