"Oh what a blessing!"

 

Mirabella chirped to Elias as she read the missive, tugging at his arm that held a tea cup, accidentally causing the lord to spill over the table within his house in Drusco.

Julia de Ulyssa peered over the bedside of the Archduchess Rosceline, a thin smile paid to that swaddled newborn. It was all the Ashford matriarch had prayed for, and Julia alongside her.

 

Her diligence had borne fruit, at last. Another lady of Drusco who might heed her word.
