Two days ago, at Marquis Joestlin, Lyra, who had managed to secure half a day off from Astrid, felt her worldview was greatly shaken in just one short hour.
Linda and her personal maid were indeed the kind of relationship she had imagined. However, out of respect and politeness, Lyra didn't ask too much, such as what their future would be like or why they had come together.
Linda Jostlin is the second daughter of Marquis Joestrin. As a noble of the imperial capital, it's actually not realistic to remain unmarried for life. At least from what Lyra has learned, there aren't many noble children who can arrange their own marriages. So-called love often gives way to the interests of the family most of the time.
If Linda wants to stay with her partner for a long time, the obstacles she will face in the future are not only the secular gaze that may not understand same-sex relationships but also the dissatisfaction from within the family for not gaining enough benefits from her marriage.
