Social queen (1)

"Duchess, you seem to be lost in your thoughts. What is on your mind?" Sally asked since a couple of minutes had passed without Alessandra saying anything while she just stared at a wall.

Alessandra snapped out of her thoughts and replied, "I'm thinking about my next move. By now I should be mingling with other women in society right? I passed the timeline for me to present myself to the social world as the Duchess."

"Kind of. As the Duchess, you should start socializing with women whose husbands are close to the Duke. You were also not present at parties to get to know other young women before you were the Duchess so all everyone knows about you are lies. It would be best for you to start socializing instead of staying here but I get danger from all around is keeping you inside."
