Aella walked down the stairs to head towards the living room and she could see her mother pacing around the place which made her frown.
What was making her mother so nervous that she couldn't even sit still? Even before she got there, Aella was already feeling anxious.
Knowing she couldn't avoid her for too long, Aella braced herself as she made her presence known.
"You asked for me, Mother?" Aella bowed a little to greet her mother.
The Baroness didn't even pay attention to her daughter and kept on walking to and fro as though she was placed on a spell.
Aella could hear her mumbling something but her ears weren't adept enough to pick it up. She noticed Ralia who was in a corner in the room was also looking down as she trembled.
What was going on?
"Mother," she called again and stepped forward to hold her mother's hand but she was yanked away with full force.
