Dangerous Fiancee

"I'm so nervous. You know how terrible and mean she is, Mrs. Charlotte."


"I don't believe all the rumors on the streets, However…" Mrs. Renault said. Mrs. Charlotte quickly grabbed her hands. As the palms of her hands were wrapped with thin cloth, it felt a bit rough. 


"Trust the emperor. He's the late empress's son. So, he will be pickier than us."


Mrs. Charlotte spoke softly. She wanted to persuade the countess with simpler and more certain words. If she briefed her about what Marianne had told a small gathering recently, she could lessen some, if not all, of the countess's concern. But she did not because Marianne wouldn't want it. 


Anyway, it was not necessary to keep the promise. And she didn't completely trust Marianne either. Nevertheless, she did not want to betray Marianne.
