The carriage pulled up to Harmony Palace.
The doorman went inside to report, and soon emerged with a look of apology.
"I beg your pardon, Lady Helen and Lady Carissa. I forgot for a moment, but it turns out Grand Princess Eleanor has gone out today."
Upon hearing this, Helen turned to Carissa and said, "In that case, we should return for now. We can leave a message and come back tomorrow."
Carissa asked the doorman, "Do you know where Grand Princess Eleanor has gone? What time will she return?"
The doorman replied, "I'm not sure. She might not be back until very late."
Carissa responded, "That's fine. We'll wait."
She then took Helen's hand, and moved to enter the residence.
Seeing this, the doorman hurried over. "Lady Helen, Lady Carissa, this is Grand Princess Eleanor's residence. You cannot just barge in."
Carissa smiled. "How is it barging in? We're here for a visit and will wait for Grand Princess Eleanor to return. Can't this place accommodate guests?"
The doorman, who had experienced Carissa's assertiveness before, didn't believe she was someone easily dealt with, despite her smiling demeanor.
While he hesitated, Carissa had already pulled Helen inside.
Along the way, Helen protested, "Have you no sense of propriety? He already said that she's not here. How long will you wait? Until evening?"
"I'll wait until tomorrow if necessary," Carissa said with a steely glare. "Mother, Gillian, if we can't meet her today, I won't leave."
Helen was exasperated, and retorted, "Didn't you say you could give the Mystic Pearls to me? If so, I'll decide when I get them back."
"Very well," Carissa said with equal determination. "Then, you should return for now. If you won't wait, I will."
She released Helen's wrist, but Helen was unwilling to let her stay alone.
Carissa seemed anything but accommodating. Her attitude made Helen worry that offending Eleanor, especially on her account, could lead to trouble.
