It's been a week and Edmund Gerwyn hasn't seen Penelope Askary yet.
That was because the Duke had a lot of work he had to finish. Not only work that was related to managing his territory, but also assisting the Crown Prince in the imperial palace. The assassination plan devised by Christopher De Louis finally made the man die horribly as a result of the death sentence given by the Emperor. He also hasn't had time to interrogate Penelope about the power possessed by that woman.
"Your Grace."
The call made Edmund look up from the many reports on his desk. Evan, the butler, bowed first, then smiled at Edmund.
"A guest has come to look for you," Evan said politely.
"A guest?" Edmund frowned. "I don't remember having an appointment with anyone else. Who came here to see me?"
"Lady Isabella Lysander."
