Just as planned, the young man found her after about ten minutes of her entry into town, and he handed over to her a personal invitation by the master of the manor himself. Of course, since the duke was away on political business, it was his son, apparently a young man only a few years older then Cassia, that was now leading the people in his place. If she decided to accept the invitation, she would be shown the way to the manor, where she would be offered a change into some more civil, soft, warm clothes while her traveling garments were washed, and she was offered a shower as well.<br/><br/>They were treating her as though her family was very close to that of the town Duke's, as though she was a very valued and highly respected guest. Of course, while the latter might have been true, it was for very different reasons then Cassia might have established in her head on the way over here.<br/><br/>Of course, if she decided to decline the invitation, then she'd just have to spend a king's ransom on an inn room, since this was a busy city, and the rooms weren't exactly cheap even at the lowest end hotels.
