It became clear to them that someone out there was trying to cause chaos in Valerian territories.

The following day, Arabella was up early and ate in her room.
After her morning bath, she dressed up and attended the early part of the Court Session.
After her part in the Court Session, she left the rest to Raymond and returned to her room to get changed.
This time, her maids dressed her differently from usual.
They dressed her up in a thicker dress that had a turtleneck and sleeves that reached her wrists.
On her hands were thick gloves so nothing she touched would seep to her skin.
The dress reached her ankles, but they still made her wear leather knee-high boots.
For convenience, her boots had just an inch of heels.
As if all her thick attire was not enough, they also had her wear the cloak Alwin had enchanted with magic spells to keep her safe from attacks.
They also made her wear a hat to protect her from the ashes that fall from all the burning.
