Chapter 11: Let the face slapping begin.
When Sigrid looked at her maids, they appeared to be worried. Lama looked like she was ready to faint from the great horror of Oliver Ye visiting the manor.
Obviously, this had something to do with her reputation, after all, an ex-fiance visiting before her wedding would get the tongues of their society wagging.
"My lady, you must not be alone with him." Lama said.
Lanai nodded, "Do not even smile in his direction lest a scandal shall follow."
Scandal! is anything on Eldoria really scandal free for women? Sigrid asked herself.
If you are unmarried and smile at a man in a way that appears intimate: scandal.
If you hold hands with a man in public without a chaperone or good reason: scandal.
If you talk to a man for more than an hour without a chaperone: scandal.
If you walk with a man in the absence of a chaperone: scandal.
If you dare to pick up a sword as a woman: scandal and prison!!!
"Oh for heavens sake!" Sigrid exclaimed and rolled her eyes.
She increased her speed and followed the butler to the great hall. In there, a small number of people had gathered, thirty or forty at least.
They were sitting, the ladies especially, helping themselves to cups of hot tea which was outrageous given how hot it was.
Most of the men were standing in one group, forming a scandal. A few were smoking, others were talking and one was quietly reading a newspaper.
"The lady Sigrid has returned." The butler announced.
Every head in the room turned Sigrid's way, dozens of eyes all pinned on her. Some of the faces bore smiles that were genuine and others not so sincere.
