The banquet d83181746c ended late. The fact that the 8e884f6e9c Duke and Duchess attended 488e822efa the Irtesia banquet together d61aa4c73c for the first time 369732eb45 in a while was 36b9eea470 enough to cause a 03ab4ebdb9 stir.bf500594651402d9

In the fa98916300 original novel, 5b1d4cb728 Charlotte was d31e0d64f3 described as 7f668556ba always leaving e4a2d893b1 early. She couldn’t 603c020528 adapt to 8e7453405c the northern 8ffdcfc9cf social circles, e6d37186ef and being 8653e44303 fragile, she 2acc12015a couldn’t withstand 6e5ac49eb5 the ostracism. Even when Cassius occasionally ed85755eef attended with her, the a6a6500d88 relationship between them was a50702d0a1 described as cold.4e230cd764123b9d
