My heart nearly ski p ped a beat upon hearing it, and panic rose up from my chest. I felt my lower lip tremble, but before I could get too upset, I studied the woman’s expression. Though this was a dire situation, she didn’t seem too alarmed. In fact, she seemed rather confident.

If she said she could handle it, I needed to at least halfway trust her.

“Okay,” I said reluctantly, and then we headed back up to my room. As we ascended the stairs, I introduced myself. “My name is Ca ssandra Keller.”

I wasn’t sure how much to tell about myself in case Kaleb didn’t want me to. I wasn’t sure if anyone knew about me here, but I didn’t want to put myself in hot water just in case.

“My name is Raven,” the woman said, but she didn’t reveal her occupation. “And just for future reference, there aren’t many servants in the side building, so if you need to find one, you’ll need to go into the main building.”

“Is that permitted?” I wondered, my tone expressing my uncertainty.

“Of course,” Raven replied. “Why would anyone need permission to ask for help?”

She seemed a little confused by my question and continued speaking. “How long have you been here, Ca ssandra? I haven’t seen you before.”

“I just arrived a few hours ago,” I explained, and then the young woman nodded.

“I see,” she remarked.

Meanwhile, Raven touched my son’s forehead and examined him closely, and after a few minutes, she turned back to face me.
