qFrancesca felt her heart starting to waver after hearing that. She didn't know much about Danrique's past, and all she heard were rumors of him being a cruel and heartless man who would use any underhanded means to get his way.

She also heard that he murdered the entire Lindberg family in a single night and walked out of the castle covered in blood, all for the sake of becoming the heir.

Everyone claimed that he was like the devil in the flesh, and his name alone struck fear in the hearts of those who heard it.

That was one of the reasons why Francesca had desperately wanted to escape this place.

However, hearing Norah's side of the story caused her to start viewing Danrique in a different light.

“I'm sorry, Ms. Cece. Did I annoy you with my rambling?” Norah apologized when she saw her go quiet.

“Oh, not at all! You can carry on with your duties now that I'm out of bed!” Francesca replied with a smile.

“All right. I'll go make you some breakfast,” Norah said and left in a hurry after that.
