Even the doctor who initially thought she had a seasonal cold felt she was serious, so he asked about her condition every hour. If something went wrong, the doctor might be beheaded for neglecting to properly examine the prospective empress.
In the meantime, Marianne was just dreaming.
In her dreams, she was walking through a familiar garden. It was the garden in the annex of the Lennox Mansion.
The fenced walls were covered with rambling roses, and small animals ran around under the shade of the elms. On the way to the lake, there were round stepping stones sparsely placed to guide the way.
Marianne jumped on the stepping stones like a child. It's nothing special, but she was excited and happy. Falling, falling out. As she hopped here and there, grazing rabbits approached and mingled with her. As they were cute and lovely, she stretched out her legs toward the next stone.
