"Marchioness L/N!" Petra greeted me, beaming as she walked over to my carriage, "you're finally here."

here goes nothing

"Lady Ral," I nodded, leaning in to whisper into her ear as we hugged, "have they started?"

"Yes," she nodded, "they just moved to one of the drawing rooms, I've arranged for our tea to be in the garden right next door- if anything happens we'll be able to hear it."

ok-

i still hate this plan

to be totally clear

"Did Levi end up giving you something?" I frowned slightly- looking around to make sure no one was in earshot.

"Don't worry about it," Petra shook her head, "he promised you didn't he?"

I AM WORRYING

"He did- still- he keeps on acting strange," I muttered. "I guess it's too late now- let's hurry to the garden- I don't want anything bad to happen."

he was really busy

im just paranoid

i don't like this at all

"Between you, me, and Isabel we should be fine," she reassured me. "Besides, Farlan made arrangements for a doctor to be brought right?"

that's correct-

we're pretending that my visit with petra is because she asked me for help introducing her to a physician for when she takes over as the Lady of house Forester

not that that's ever going to happen now

"Petra?"

"Yes?"

"Have you given any thought as to what's going to happen after this?"

"Well- I suppose you'll take Floch to trial?"

"No," I shook my head, "not that- what you're going to do after all of this."

"Oh," she sighed. "Not really- the engagement will be annulled that's for sure."

and then?

"I'll probably lay low in my family's territory for awhile before they find someone else for me."

that's sad

"Surely there's something you wanted to do but couldn't because of the engagement," I murmured, thinking back on what Levi mentioned the other day.

i don't want to force her to go live in the woods just because it's the only option other than getting married off again

"Sure," she shrugged, "I envied my brother for going to school- it would be nice to do something like that- but I'm too old for that now."

you could get a tutor

"If you could- I would invite you to spend some time in the marquisate after this is over."

maybe hanji would come if i wrote her a letter

that would be nice

i'd like to hold a proper memorial for my father

"I would love to," Petra had led me to a small picnic set up in the garden.

which room are they in

"It's that one," she murmured, gesturing at a nearby open window, "I went in earlier to open the windows."

"Thank you."
