Chapter 108 (2) - Epilogue: Being Together with You, in This Moment

The Marchioness seemed to read her daughter's mind as she quietly said, "Remember that Lizzy will always be by your side, Nilla."

"I am sorry? What does that mean..."

"Today, 'those two people' are going to attend this wedding. Of course, they will participate with as inconspicuously as possible. It is an outdoor wedding, so it should be plenty possible. So my darling child..." The Marchioness of Grochester revealed a loving smile and planted a kiss on Petronilla's forehead, placating her, "Try not to feel too skittish. Think about how your younger sister will be watching you. I think that should be of help to you?"

"Yes, I will do that!"

It was at that moment that several maids came rushing into the waiting room. "Lady Petronilla, you have to head out now!"

Petronilla stared up at the Marchioness of Grochester with a face so taken aback that her earlier pledge to be less nervous was all but meaningless.
