Lianne sat cross-legged, accepting the scripture a monk handed her. She lowered her gaze, her fair, jade-like fingers holding the corner of a page, turning it ever so slowly.
"You're the only one with the peace of mind to study the scriptures with me." Mrs. Lowell, beside her, spoke with her eyes gently closed, yet she knew exactly who was there.
Mrs. Lowell's father had once been stationed in Tauris, and having lived there with him, she considered it her second home.
That was why she and Lianne had hit it off immediately when they met a few years ago.
Mrs. Lowell had two children.
Caden Lowell, the head of the Lowell Family, was a man of power and hedonism. He didn't believe in Buddhism, let alone practice it.
Yara Lowell was a pampered princess with a background in law. Her dream was to one day lead the courts; she'd much rather read legal texts than scriptures.
