---- 336.
MAGICAL HERITAGE KATHERINE "Tt was about an hour ago.
The Duke carried you in his arms.
Imagine my shockI was scared, thinking you were hurt or something.
What exactly happened?" she questioned me, looking worried.
Wait, first tell me about the child.
Is she okay? Did anything happen to her while I was gone? The butler...?" "No, no.
Lavinia is fine.
Shes practicing with her piano teacher in the library.
Shes been quite well-behavedshes not even asking about that awful governess anymore," Nana reassured me, and I let out a sigh of relief.
I threw off the covers and let my bare feet dangle off the bed.
It seemed Nana had removed my old, ragged clothes because now I was in pajamas.
Well...
where should I start?" I sighed and began telling her about the little adventure the Duke and I had just been through.
"Hmm, the Duke is a tough bone to crack.
You almost had him, but he rejected you at the last moment.
Looks like he favors you a little more, but thats not enough," she said with a disappointed grimace.
She should have seen how I felt about it.
"Also, child...
a woman came by one day.
Very beautiful, burgundy hair, pale white skinshe looked refined, almost like a porcelain doll," she began to recount.
Icould already imagine who it was.

---- "She came asking for the Duke.
What caught my attention was how everyone treated her with such respect.
She practically seemed more like the lady of the castle than you did when you first arrived pretending to be Rossella." "Shes his mistress, isnt she?" "Thats what it seems," Nana said, frowning.
"Katherine, you need to be on guard.
I only saw her for a moment, but you could see the ambition in her eyes." "Nana, just tell me already.
Ive made up my mind.
What is it that you need to show me?" I asked directly.
She paused, then stood up and even walked over to the sitting area to check the door.
All this secrecy was making me nervous.
"Listen carefully, child.
Your witch blood comes from your mother," she said, shaping the words with her mouth as if speaking a forbidden truth.
That was something I had already suspected.
"Your father...
he knew.
He discovered it and used some of her abilities to his advantage.
But when she gave birth, I was there.
I left her alone for just a moment to take you both to another roomyou were born so weak She delved into the past, her eyes clouding over, turning red with the ghosts of her memories.
"When I returned, I found her dead, a pool of blood spreading from between her legs.
I was sure I had controlled the hemorrhaging...
I was sure.
I tried everything, but it was too late,"' she murmured, her hands trembling as she covered her face.
