After speaking, Elowen glanced briefly at Rosaline before continuing in a calm tone. “Lady Elira must have had her reasons for sending the two of you here. From now on, your sister will be your responsibility.”

“Yes, Your Grace.”

Rosaline answered immediately, gratitude filling her voice.

Elowen inclined her head slightly. “You may stand.”

After that brief instruction, she turned her attention elsewhere and began speaking with the other attendants. She no longer spared the sisters another look.

With everyone’s duties assigned, the attendants were led away to familiarize themselves with their new posts.

Rosaline and Seren were assigned to the study, where Cora guided them through the room and carefully explained its rules.

“This is where Her Grace usually reads and writes,” Cora said, gesturing toward the large desk near the window. “When she is here working, she does not like interruptions. Whatever you do, keep your voices low and your movements quiet.”

She opened a cabinet beside the wall.

“These shelves hold the estate ledgers from previous years. The cabinet stays locked, and I keep the key. Unless Her Grace gives permission, no one is to open it.”

She pointed next toward a tall bookcase. “The Duchess’s favorite books are kept on the third shelf so they are easy to reach.”

Cora’s expression grew a little more serious.

“The bookcase is something Her Grace treasures greatly. She usually organizes it herself. Do not move anything unless she instructs you to.”

Rosaline and Seren both answered obediently, “Understood.”

By the time the introductions and explanations were finished, evening had already settled across the manor. One by one, the attendants returned to their rooms to rest.

“Seren, Rosaline.”

A voice called from behind them. Alyssa hurried over to catch up.

Rosaline’s expression cooled slightly. “Alyssa, did you need something?”

Alyssa smiled brightly. “Now that everyone’s duties have been assigned, I was curious where you two ended up. I heard you’re working in the study. Is it quiet there? Seems like it would be an easy post.”

Seren was just about to answer when Rosaline spoke first.

“If you’re serving at the Duchess’s side, there is no such thing as an easy post,” Rosaline said evenly. “If you find your duties too tiring, you could always bring it up with Her Grace.”

For a brief moment, Alyssa’s smile stiffened.

“It’s not that I find it tiring,” she replied quickly. “By the way, Seren, your eyes, why are they…”

“It’s getting late.” Rosaline cut her off without hesitation.

“We’re going back to rest. You should do the same.”

With that, she took Seren’s arm and walked away without looking back. Alyssa remained where she was, the smile slowly disappearing from her face. Her brows twisted with quiet frustration as she watched them leave.

The second day, Elowen finally stirred awake.

Bright daylight was already streaming through the window.

Turning her head slightly, she saw Cassian sitting beside the bed in a carved wooden armchair, lazily reading a book.

Morning light fell across the sharp lines of his face, casting soft shadows along his cheekbones.

When he heard the faint rustle of movement, Cassian lowered the book and looked toward her. A small smile appeared at the corner of his lips.

“You’re awake.”

“Mmm.”

Elowen’s voice came out soft and slightly drawn out with sleepiness. As she spoke, she stretched lazily beneath the covers.

Cassian found the sight dangerously charming. Even something as simple as her stretching
