Anne Adelheid peered over at her Father, her brows tightening into a furrow. "What did you do?" @MrChenn

Anne Adelheid's lips grew into a wide grin upon hearing the news of her dearest friend Juliya's unexpected matrimony. "I need to prepare a gift for her!" With haste, the young Pruvia would prepare a gift.

Anne Adelheid sat at Provins, continuing her studies as a Medic when a servant had entered her room handing her a fresh copy of Petit Potins. The Pruvia sat there observing the column eventually coming across the paragraph that was focus upon her. As furious as she was about what had been said about her, she'd rumple the pamphlet throwing it onto the ground, going back to her studies. "People need to learn to keep their nose out of others business." She murmured to herself.
