It had been a full month since the midwife Madeline and the physician Ferguson arrived at the castle. Time passed faster than Mauve could keep up with it. It was finally time for the guests to make their decision, which would either decide the war against the Palers or flip it in a completely different direction.
Mauve was more anxious as the day grew closer, and Jael tried to make her not worry in more ways than one, but she knew regardless of what he said, unless she knew what the decision was, she wouldn't feel better. Louis, on the other hand, was awfully quiet about the matter, but it was clear he was concerned.
Mauve made sure not to speak about the matter with Madeline and Ferguson during the past few days. She didn't want to influence their decision. She had hopes that they had seen that vampires could work hand in hand with humans and the two could be beneficial to each other.
