Chapter 59

• Enduring a month of feigning tolerance towards that vexing girl, Winona McKellen, had been a strenuous task. Carla had found herself compelled to put her plans on hold in order to divert the palace's collective attention away from her.
• Nevertheless, she made intermittent visits to the palace. Whenever she encountered Winona, she made sure to display the utmost respect, although she never made any attempts to befriend her. Each time she came across Winona or Lucy, a mask of guilt would involuntarily settle on her face.
• It was only during the past week that Winona began to venture out more frequently. Carla seized this opportunity to meticulously monitor her every move. She noted the places Winona frequented and all potential lures she could use to coax her out of the palace.
