"Should I put in this dress, my lady?" Ralia asked as she held up a bright blue frock.
Aella tilted her head staring the dress with pursed lips. She could already imagine the Duchess' disapproving stare when she saw the gown. "No, I will not take it."
"Alright, my lady." Ralia dropped it inside the trunk which would be given out to charity. "But the Duchess sent a message for you to come with nothing. Are you sure she is going to be pleased with this?" Ralia looked up at Aella cautiously.
Aella scoffed under her breath at the audacity of the Duchess. After her conversation with Bane yesterday, she had made the decision to accept the Duchess' offer and travel with her to Aranole.
Aella had come to the conclusion that leaving North Grenol might be the right step for a better life. Besides, she wanted to honor one of her father's greatest wishes and accepting her title was the best way to do so.
