"This is unbelievable." She stroked the picture with her thumb and seemed bewitched by the couple. "Hah! All this time she has been whining about how her family doesn't love her… Turns out it was never her family in the first place." Elef laughed.
Spencer looked a little taken aback by her. "Did she say that?" HE asked.
"All the time! You don't want to hear about the monstrous duke, I am somehow glad that she will have a proper family now." She gave the picture a final glance and then handed it back to Spencer who was still a little stunned by Elef's brief talk about Myrtle.
"I thought she was… happy," He had a pause and took the picture out of her hand,
"She was happy, but mostly when she was outside the palace." ELef picked up the glass of water and took a sip.
"Hm…" Spencer gave a nod. "So, how long have you known each other for?" He asked out of curiosity.
