Chapter 753 She Was Exactly The Type

In an instant, his annoyance vanished. He froze on the spot, completely spellbound.

He had seen plenty of women in his life, but he had rarely encountered anyone who looked like this. No, that wasn’t right-he had never seen anyone like her in his entire life. Elowen wore nothing but a faded, plain dress. She had no jewelry in her hair and wore no makeup on her face. Yet just by standing there, she exuded an indescribable grace that made her simple, worn clothing look as elegant as the finest silk.

It took Edwin a long moment to snap out of it. He hurried forward, stopping three paces away from Elowen, and bowed with cupped hands. His voice trembled slightly. “My lady, might I ask who you are?”

“I am Robert’s distant cousin,” Elowen replied calmly. “I used to be a maid in General Dray’s manor, but I was recently released from service and had nowhere to go. I heard Prince Zachary is recruiting concubines, and I was wondering if I might apply?”

“Yes! Absolutely!” Edwin was so thrilled he looked ready to leap for joy. “You are more than qualified!” He rubbed his hands together, spun around on his heel in excitement, and turned back to her with a beaming smile. “And what might your name be, my lady?”

Elowen had already settled on a name during the ride over, so she answered smoothly, “Molly.”

Edwin repeated the name a couple of times, nodding enthusiastically. “A fine name, a beautiful name! Molly, you shall stay here at the manor for now. We set out for Kingsport the day after tomorrow.”

“I have a servant with me named Thomas,” Elowen added. “He is waiting outside and will be traveling with me.”

Edwin hesitated. “A servant? Is that entirely necessary…

Elowen tilted her head slightly, a faint smile playing on her lips. “Mr. Crawford, do you feel someone with my appearance is unworthy of a servant?”

Edwin blinked, waving his hands in a frantic panic. “Of course not! Far from it! With beauty like yours. Molly, you deserve eight or ten servants, let alone one!” He whirled around to order the nearby guards. “Go, bring Molly’s servant inside and get him settled in the servants’ quarters.”

“Thank you,” Elowen said smoothly. “In that case, please have your men deliver the fitil-dollar reward to Robert’s house as well.” Before Edwin could even think to object, she offered a sweet smile I appreciate your help, Mr. Crawford.”

Edwin stood there, speechless.

She hadn’t even given him a chance to say no

Left standing in the square, Edwin watched her slender figure recede into the distance. He scratched the back of his head, a faint seed of doubt sprouting in his mind.

The girl was undeniably stunning, but her poise, her demeanor, and the very way she carried on a conversation didn’t seem like those of a maid at all. What kind of servant possessed that level of sheer confidence?

Still, Edwin was a naturally optimistic man, and he quickly rationalized it.

Didn’t this prove she was exactly the type of woman cut out to be a royal consort? Common village girls grew weak in the knees and lost their words just looking at him-how could they ever hope to serve a prince? It took someone exactly like this—someone who had seen the world, who didn’t startle, and who possessed real courage and wit—to catch the prince’s eye. If she managed to win Prince Zachary’s favor in the future, wouldn’t he, as the man who recommended her, ride her coattails straight to the top?
