---- 339.
A CHANCE TO LOVE KATHERINE I took a long, hot bath after nearly frying my brain trying to memorize that strange spell.
I repeated the words over and over in my mind.
They felt odd, yet at the same time, they awakened something deep and alive in my chest.
I feared it and, at the same time, craved it.
When I stepped out of the bathroom, I was surprised to find two maids waiting for me with a change of clothes.
What are you doing here?" I asked, tightening my robe and swiftly but discreetly walking toward the vanity.
"Mrs.
Prescott sent us to assist you with all your needs, Your Ladyship," one of them replied with an outwardly respectful tone behind me.
My fingers went to the round wooden knob, and I pulled the small drawer of the vanity outward, making sure it was still locked.
Cold sweat ran down my back at the mere thought of someone discovering the little notebook I had hidden there for a moment.
Ineeded to be more careful.
"T dont want attendants.
You may leave and never enter my room again without knocking." "But" "No buts," I turned to face them.
Iwouldnt give them another chance to step all over me.
"Do you not understand my language? Tell Mrs.
Prescott that if I want ---- attendants, I will choose them myself.

Now get out of my chamber." They bowed their heads in acknowledgment.
Still, I caught the glint of anger in their eyes.
Ineed to gain the Dukes trust to have some control over the servants because I feel like Im living in a nest of vipers.
After dressing, I walked around with the notebook in hand, looking for a better hiding spot.
An idea came to mebehind the massive wardrobe.
Icrouched in the corner and slipped my small hand into the narrow space between the back of the wardrobe and the wall.
It was a good spot.
No one would have any reason to find it, nor would they move this heavy piece of furniture, not even for cleaning.
Dusting off my hands, I felt more at ease.
Ichecked carefully inside my inner pocket, where I kept the little pouch Nana had prepared.
I had to enchant that thinglets see how it goes.
But for now, I was going to visit my beloved torment, the most important person of all.
sek I pushed open the door, which let out a soft creak.
Nana had told me that Lavinia had just washed and was getting ready for bed.
I found her in front of the enormous gold-framed mirror, sitting on the stool by her vanity.
As always, being near her made me nervous, expecting the worst, feeling guilty deep down despite being another victim of fate.
