***

In the morning, Lily decided not to go to Taral. What difference does it make? I am unfit to perform at my best. That day, everything dropped out of her hands. She ripped her belt and nearly poked her eye with a hairpin. At least Mirrie was pleased and happy.

“Papa has arrived!”

If it weren’t for Mirrie’s love for her father, Lily would never agree to make up with her husband. Yet Amir was right. She should speak to Edward and create a marriage contract to protect Mirrie in case she and Jerisson had an irresolvable disagreement. It was important to ensure her well-being. The woman looked at herself in the mirror.

Perfect. Green skirt-trousers, green shirt (white trimmed), simple jewelry (the bracelet and the ring were compulsory, plus a pair of earrings). The only luxury in her dress was a pair of white lace gloves. Even reincarnation couldn’t save her from the vile habit of biting her nails.

“My Lady, receive the messenger from the king.”

The messenger bowed, knelt, and handed her a scroll. Lily broke the seal and skimmed through the text. “To attend the court immediately, upon receiving this scroll.” If it says immediately, she should obey. Why so urgent? Because of the earl’s arrival. Lily would've been more surprised if His Majesty didn’t supervise their first meeting.

“I will ask them to prepare the horse. It will be quicker that way.”

Lily nodded to the servant who was standing at the door, and he ran to the stables. The woman fixed her dress and faced the window. She took a deep breath and repeated in her head.

Keep calm, Lily, your heart is pounding like mad. If you throw up again (on the earl!), you will surely not come up with a compromise. Breathe, easy!
