Unexpected News!

Break of dawn.

In a faraway place at the base of a mountain... an old woman sporting white hair was sitting on the wooden floor inside the wooden hut, she's staring at the candles burning brightly on the altar.

Among the candles, there was one candle that already faded away...

"One is down..." the old woman murmured sadly and it's her favorite among the candles. She clenched her hands in anger. She released a deep sigh.

Not yet the right time for her to intervene!

She rose to her feet and exited the room.

She needs to go somewhere and washed away the pain!

One week later.

Inside Luke's mansion.

The Lord is not home yet.

Perdo, Luke's assistant paid a visit to the mansion but didn't stay long, he leaves after asking Adela how's everything going in the mansion.

When Adela asked if Lady Laura can be allowed outside her room, he gives permission as long it's only in the garden. He only took a quick glimpse of Laura but never attempt to talk to her.
