Duchess? She brought...royalty? I'm so sorry that you had to be brought here, I know that you're probably used to nicer things and places.

[She didn't care that the girl was royalty. She'd have to learn that her title didn't really mean much in this place, everyone was equal and everyone had to pull their own weight at times. Almost no one would cater to her all the time.

Shaking her head, she rushed to calm Katherine.]

Don't worry about an heir. Time doesn't seem to move much if at all while you're gone. No one will even realize it, dear.

[It was a hard truth, but she had to know the truth sooner or later. No one knew she was gone and no one was looking for her.]
