Chapter 42
Chapter 42
I moved my feet and stood up. Five minutes had passed, just as Roberta had said.
I walked around barefoot, and the pain was gone.
"I thought wearing heels in your current condition would be too much, so I brought these for you. They're new."
Roberta's thoughtfulness didn’t end there. She had prepared a pair of flat shoes for me today.
They were a bit loose, but much better than heels.
Feeling touched, I thanked her with a grateful smile and put on the shoes.
"Let’s go back now."
"…May I, an old woman, say something before you leave?"@@novelbin@@
Darcy flinched slightly. He turned his head to Roberta and nodded.
"Is it about Marceau’s health?"
"No, it’s about Your Highness... Would you like to hear it in private?"
Darcy shook his head.
"If it’s not something you can say in front of Marceau, then don’t bother."
Roberta looked at both of us, considering her words for a moment.
"Very well, then."
She opened a drawer and took something out, placing it in Darcy's hand.
"Your Highness, burning too much incense can make the air stifling."
It was an incense burner, quite old in appearance.
What do you think?
