97 Meeting with Meira (1)

The bait had worked better than Daphne expected. The next day, a brisk knock had sounded, and Meira was back at her door. 

She wore a somewhat revealing dress, her neckline lower than even the typical dresses of the Northern Kingdom. A glistening diamond necklace hung from her neck, sparkling with her every step.

"Daphne, can I come in?" Before Daphne could respond, Meira was already entering. It was lucky that Korbin had just left a few minutes ago, or perhaps the Grand Minister's daughter had already used all of her sources to know that. 

Nevertheless, Daphne raised an eyebrow, pretending to not know why Meira was here. "What brings you here today, Miss Meira."
