“All right! We’ll be staying here for a while!” Jeanette said, nodding in satisfaction as she and Sara surveyed their room at the inn.

It had been a week since they’d left House Roussel. For the past few days, they’d been staying in different inns, and had finally arrived at this one. It was close to the royal capital’s busiest district, and the interior of the room itself looked classy. Most critically of all, it was reputable for having good security, and it made the perfect base.

Jeanette had already taken all the money she would need out from the bank, and she’d completed the preparations for starting the search for her father.

“Milady, please let me know your plan from here on out. How can I assist you?” Sara prompted, looking at Jeanette expectantly.

Jeanette sorted through her thoughts, then answered. “Of course, the first order of business is to break off my engagement with Lord Claus! I must set him free. Afterwards, I’ll have to find an employer. I just hope we can find someone willing to hire me...”

Sara’s brows creased. “I doubt things will turn out that way...”

“Right. The merchants and I might get along, but that doesn’t mean they’ll want me to work for them,” Jeanette conceded. “Since I’m a woman, they can’t treat me the same way as they do the men... It might be really tough in the beginning.”

“No, that’s not what I meant,” said Sara. “I was talking about Lord Claus.”

“What?” Jeanette replied.

“What?” Sara said.

Jeanette’s eyes widened as she stared at her maid. They had been talking about two different things, it seemed. “What do you mean...?”

Before Jeanette could ask for more details, Sara pushed her towards the door. “No, nothing! You should make haste and meet up with Lord Claus already. Come now! It’ll grow dark outside before we know it if we don’t hurry, so let’s leave right away!” She continued pushing even after they left the inn.

The disoriented Jeanette found herself flung into a fiacre by a fervent Sara. The carriage rocked into movement, and some time later the two girls alighted in front of the beautiful, unobtrusive gate of House Guivarch’s mansion.

Jeanette furrowed her brow in concern. “I don’t know about just gatecrashing like this without any notice... Now that I think about it, we don’t even know if Lord Claus is home right now.”

In contrast to the anxious Jeanette, Sara was brimming with confidence. “It’s all right, milady. On the off chance that he’s not, we can just come back on another day.” The maid then walked over to the gatekeeper and whispered something to him.

The man looked startled for a moment, before loudly shouting out, “Lady Jeanette has arrived!!!”

In an instant, a number of servants who’d been in the estate grounds or the gardens came rushing forth. “Did you just say Lady Jeanette?!”

“Oh my goodness! We must inform the young master right away!”

“Quick! Secure her!”

Before Jeanette even knew what was happening, everyone swarmed around her as if they were trying to capture some rare creature.
