Her words made myself ponder. Aware that no such conversation would be possible with the Sylfinnier's duchess. I had made clear back in the palace and again at our home… that I considered myself motherless. For a moment, the former duchess's interest moved myself slightly. Perhaps I had been hiding it in a corner of my conscience… but her offer felt tempting.

Even in my past life… the sole woman I could have had these kinds of conversations would not have been my mother but granny Martha, haha…
