Katherine Eadgifu Bluesteel.
She was the wife of Marquis Cedric and a well-known woman in Gladius City.
What made her special wasn't her title as the wife of a vassal state's feudal lord, but her skills and qualifications. She was educated in reading, writing, and even advanced math, on par with many scholars from regions with better educational systems.
If not for her loyalty to her husband and respect for their marriage, she could have been offered a higher position in the Royal Court.
She also understood her social standing and knew that most women didn't have a voice in important matters. Because of this, she kept out of them, even though she was one of the most educated people in Gladius City.
"Katherine… that's a lovely name."
Vritra made heavy contact with the beautiful noblewoman, and after a moment, she couldn't help but look away.
"Th-, thank you…"
She didn't say much more, clearly a bit flustered.
