The servants said she left early this morning with her people. They said she went to Montlins Manor and probably won’t be back tonight,” Christine replied, her face dark with frustration. A knot of anger tightened in her chest, neither rising nor dissipating. She glanced at the pile of gifts, feeling even more agitated.

“You stay here and handle things. I’ll go back and explain the situation to Mother. We can’t let them get ahead of us and spread their version of the story first.” Patricia said.

“Alright, go ahead, Christine said, hands on her hips as she surveyed the pile of gifts. “Someone, move these things aside. Don’t let them clutter the place. Once they’re moved, no one touches them!”

“Yes” The servant stepped forward and replied.

After Patricia left, Christine thought for a moment and went to Geoffrey’s room to find Harlan,

She called Harlan outside and asked, “Mrs. Langley, is something wrong?”

“Did you receive the betrothal gifts from the Valen family?” Christine asked.

“Yes, that day no one else was available in the residence, and Geoffrey was too unwell to get up, so I received them.”

“Wild geese? They sent roosters…” Harlan paused, suddenly recalling the wedding customs. “Wait, why would they send roosters for a betrothal ceremony? I was so busy that day, I didn’t pay much attention.”

He hadn’t expected the Valen family to do such a thing.
