It was quiet hours currently, so everyone either was napping or somewhere else.
As for Aurora, guilt was eating her alive. She had to talk to someone, she wanted it, she needed it. Daphne was the first and only person who came into her mind. Shame that she was miles away with her husband. She was the only one who could understand her. Understand why she could agree to such scheme with the duke.

"Oh, is that why you're sad? Because he made all your suitors leave? I understand--"
"He promised me to Nigel Berbrooke." She suddenly announced, taking aback Alice, whose eyes had widened and mouth hanged open.
"Oh my God... I'm so sorry! Doesn't he know that you repulse that man?" She asked.
