Bella's POV
Time slipped away quickly, and a considerable period had already passed.
When the time was nearly over, I received an invitation that caught me off guard.
Penny approached me with the invitation in hand, worry etched across her features. "Miss Fairfax, we've never interacted with Miss Camilla Crawford, the Ministry's daughter from the Central Office. Why would she extend an invitation to you? Could there be some hidden agenda behind this?"
Perhaps due to all the hardships I'd endured, Penny had become extremely protective, viewing every new contact with suspicion.
I accepted the invitation and examined it—it was for a polo match.
Following the New Year festivities, young noblewomen found themselves restless, having grown weary of the typical garden gatherings.
Polo matches offered an exciting alternative—a chance to socialize and potentially claim some victories.
Many ladies had developed a fondness for such events.
