'An old friend?'
A flicker of confusion crossed Yu Zhizhi's eyes.
She remembered the Duke saying last night that someone from the K family was coming to visit, but that wasn't for another week.
'If it isn't the K family's acting head, Don Nade K, or his younger brother, Don Nal K, then who else could it be that I know?'
Yu Zhizhi stepped out from behind the pillar, smoothed her skirt, and walked outside.
As she left, she didn't forget to say to the Wild Dog, "Rest up and get well. I'll come see you again tomorrow."
Back in her quarters, she changed into a more formal noble's gown. According to the Duke's instructions, his little pet needed to be dressed beautifully when being shown to guests.
Led by a Hamster maid, Yu Zhizhi made her way to the drawing room.
The ancient architecture appeared all the more mysterious and elegant under the sun's glow. The archaic roof tiles glinted with golden light, and every slate stone on the path was polished to a mirror-like sheen.
