"Joseph, hello," she said, smiling. "Good evening, Ma'am. This package just arrived for you, so I thought I'd bring it right up." He chuckled. "Maybe it's a gift from an...
Geneve was overwhelmed this evening to say the least. First, she was erratically introduced as a Lady to the Palace, although it was under her strict instruction that she would not be (for she wasn't, as she has refused the title, fully grasping the fact that she is a nobleman's bastard) and now, sitting across the fifteen foot long table from her beloved si...
