Chapter 24 - Touring the Estate (1)

When morning comes, Pheia, Joan, and Alani are already waiting for Lady Rhina at the receiving area of Earl Bairn's mansion. Lady Rhina walks out of her room and immediately heads toward the receiving area. When she arrives, she unknowingly shoots glares of daggers at Pheia. Pheia sighed as she sees how Lady Rhina's actions are caused by their consecutive disagreement or better say it, their petty conversations, yesterday.

"You are all here.", Lady Cristiana said enthusiastically, as she emerged from the side door of the receiving area.

"Good morning, Lady Cristiana.", politely greeted by the three guests.

"Good morning, Mother."

"There's no need to be polite.", Lady Cristiana said. "I know what had happened the other day and yesterday is not fully settled. So, I want everyone, especially Pheia and Rhina to make amends." She gestured for Pheia and Rhina to get closer to her. She holds each of their hands and puts them together, "What should you say, Rhina?"
