A Promise

"Your grace. Do you have a minute?" Christina ran her way to the long passage gaining strange looks from many but she ignored it. It was not the first time she was looked down upon for her origins and countryside manners. And she did not understand why they wear such long dresses in the capital.

Perhaps to sweep the floor without an extra effort. She rolled her eyes and kept her thoughts for later. She was so busy in goading and enjoying Gabi's expressions for the rest of the meeting that she did not realize it ended so early. After the gift, Evan exchanged a few more pleasantries and Damien promised to give the rare sapphires as a gift once count Philip would return them and then the couple left the room making her blink as if she was dazed all this time.

She ran behind them but oh lord, the woman walked fast with her long dress.
