Rowena’s gaze softened with affection. “Forgive me for speaking boldly, but although you are the Duchess of Duskmoor, in my heart you feel more like a younger sister. As women, we both know how difficult pregnancy and childbirth can be. When I gave birth to Elara, I truly came close to death. Even now, remembering it still frightens me.”

Her voice grew gentle.

“I sincerely hope everything goes smoothly for you. I hope nothing goes wrong.”

Elowen felt warmth spread through her chest.

Sometimes she felt incredibly fortunate to have been given a second chance at life, one that allowed her to meet so many good people. Cassian, Elspeth and Rowena.

She nodded earnestly. “I’ll remember. I’ll be careful.”

The two of them chatted a while longer about the palace banquet the previous night, especially about how Daphne had brought ruin herself.

When Rowena heard the full story, she sighed. “I heard you and she grew up together. Even if you weren’t the closest of friends, there should have been some affection between you. Why was she so determined to frame you?”

Elowen thought for a moment. “She seems to hate me.”

Rowena frowned slightly. “Hatred usually has a reason.”

Tilting her head, Elowen realized she truly did not know why Daphne hated her.

She had overlooked that question before.

She only remembered that in her previous life, on one occasion Daphne had stared at her coldly and said something strange.

Daphne had said, “If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have become like this.”

But when Elowen searched her own conscience, she had always treated Daphne sincerely. Whenever possible, she had either helped her or protected her.

What had she done wrong to make Daphne despise her so much?

She could not figure it out. And in the end, she decided not to dwell on it.

Rowena asked sharply, “Is it one of the two men we saw when we entered the manor?”

Elara blinked in confusion. Two men?

She only remembered one.

The man who had helped steady her with a considerate hand, his voice calm and pleasant, his face strikingly handsome.

Apparently she had been so focused on him that she completely ignored the other.

Rowena recalled the moment. “I only glanced briefly, but both of them were very handsome. One was tall and broad-shouldered. The other was slimmer. The slimmer one was the one who helped you, wasn’t he?”

Elara’s heart began racing under the questioning. She turned her head away and muttered, “Mother, please stop asking…”

Elowen quietly achieved her goal, hiding her satisfaction. She lifted her cup and took a leisurely sip.

“Well, if you don’t want to say, then we’ll leave it at that.”

Rowena stood up as she spoke. “Your Grace, I’ve said what I came to say. We should head back.”

Elowen quickly raised her head and offered, “You’re leaving already? Why not stay and have lunch with us?”

Rowena smiled and declined gently. “It wouldn’t be proper for our whole family to dine here. Besides, last night my husband cooked an entire feast. If we leave it sitting there, it will spoil and have to be thrown away. That would be such a waste.”

Elowen could not insist, so she nodded. “All right.”

Rowena headed toward the study to call her husband.
