As usual, Elise was tending to her duties as a nun when Mother Matilda approached her.
"Sister Elise?"
"Yes, Mother Superior. What can I do for you?"
"I need to speak with you privately. If you’re not too busy, could you put aside what you’re doing and follow me?"
"…? Of course."
Normally, any announcements or discussions were made during assemblies. For Matilda to call Elise for a private conversation was unusual.
Was she somehow becoming the favorite of the abbess?
