Don't Go Towards the Light

"I'm sorry, but you must leave right away."

The servant tried to close the door, but Adeline would not have any of this. She bent down and slipped from under the servant's legs.

!!!

She came this far, wheezing, panting, struggling, she wasn't going to let a servant stop her now. She will meet the Duchess! 

"You!"

"Yeah, yeah. It is me. Get mad at me later, okay? I have stuff to do." Adeline brushed her off.

The servant didn't know if she could grab this unruly child and throw her out. That would definitely not bode well for her.

Honestly, she was so surprised that she needed a second to digest what just happened.

A young girl just got inside the room from under her legs! Who would do such a thing? She certainly didn't expect the Marquess' daughter to do such a thing. No wonder he sent her away to learn etiquette from Her Grace!
