<div style="text-align: justify;">Elisabeth felt her heart flutter when she left Wil alone. She knew it had been an extremely daring move to place her favor in his hand. If he had not wanted it, she would be in big trouble, as he might tell her father. That would be a terrible thing for the girl, and she prayed that he would not do it. Yet, from his words, Elisabeth knew that Wylyam wouldn't put either her or her reputation in danger. <br/><br/>Entering her chambers, Elisabeth took a long time to breathe and calm herself down, before ringing for her servant to come help her prepare for bed. She didn't confide anything in the servant, and kept silent as the young woman helped her. After getting changed, she said her night prayers and laid in bed. It took Elisabeth some time to fall asleep, as she couldn't stop thinking about the events in the linen chamber. Her heart beat so fast it took her a long time to manage to fall asleep. <br/><br/>Despite the fact that she slept very late, Elisabeth had been woken up very early, upon request by her father. Still sleepy, she got dressed and went to Sir Jonas to see what he wanted. His statement about Peter having to go to court did not surprise her, but the one about her being allowed to go to advocate for him made Elisabeth's heart soar. She had been feeling terribly nervous about being apart from her brother while he faced troubles in court, and now she would be allowed to accompany him and be by his side. <span style="font-style: italic">And</span> - a little part of her whispered - <span style="font-style: italic">she would have the chance to be near Wylyam for longer, and away from her father</span>.<br/><br/>Pushing these thoughts aside, Elisabeth promised Sir Jonas that she would keep an eye on her brother and help him as much as she could, and then excused herself to gather her belongings. As she had no idea how long that would take, Elisabeth gathered some belongings inside a chest and left word with her servant as to what she should send later, as they could not waste time. She then helped her brother get set up, and had a silent cup of tea with him before they were both ready to leave. Asking for only a moment, Elisabeth retreated into the property's chapel for a few minutes, to offer prayer for the success of her endeavor, before stepping in front of Sir Philip and making a polite courtesy. "We are ready, Sir", she spoke for herself and her brother, who seemed understandably nervous. "I hope I have not kept you waiting for long", she completed, slipping her hand into Peter's and squeezing it softly as a means of comforting her brother. She tried not to look at Wil, as it wasn't a proper moment for such things, but her eyes slipped to the man every now and then, of their own accord.</div>
