Isolde woke up feeling unusually peaceful, no dreams, just a restful sleep. She wretched lily, then instructed her servants to begin packing Tim moving to Paletin Manor the sad, der finality in her

voice.

The news of her departure spread quickly, reaching Blesertin. Vance, full of satisfaction, said, “Sex It was all about pressuring Geoffrey. The moment he said something, that little bitch is packing up and leaving the said we’d be thrown out if we weren’t wanted–well, now it’s her walking out

Prudence’s face softened slightly, though she pondered for a moment before replying, “Levving might be out of anger, but it will reflect badly on us if she simply walks out like that. We’ll need t come up with a reason to explain this to everyone:
