When The Count’s Illegitimate Daughter Gets Married

Chapter 84

Was it for her own sake that Ian got farther away? Seta’s explanation in the dream was so plausible that it sounded funny. A dream was a product of imagination created by living things. ‘I miss Ian so much,’ that she herself unconsciously rationalized
