Keira continued to listen attentively.

Old Mrs. Horton said, “At that time, Lady South’s reputation had even spread to Oceanion. Out of curiosity, like many other girls, I went to Clance to see her.

Mrs. Horton smiled. “Speaking of the literary world and the temperament of the prestigious families in that world, the young masters and ladies were all born with a noble air, which is an indescribable charm. That’s the kind of feeling Lady South gave me. She was elegant and

about what kind of family could raise such a distinguished daughter. We were always trying to find out her background. We only knew she had come from abroad, but where exactly the family was, we had no idea. There were even people who doubted she was a true lady from a prestigious family, and they followed her, only to find that Lady South’s way of living was
