She take a sip of her tea and feel a slighty shiver in her back in spite of its warmess.
Tell me, do you find the court changed ?, I can't really realize it by myself since I never left, not for a long time at last. There many people who arrived while your absence anyway, do you have yet encounter new people since your return ?

Anne nodd while feeling a bit frustrated because so she can't imagine how her sister and brother in law's dukedom look like, she feel so eager to discover the world, her mind full of dreams of evasion. She get dreamy as she recall of the lady that she have encounter while last summer, recalling of the first time she saw her like if it was yesterday, she was going back to the castle through the forest and looking at the pond. And she saw, her the lady was in the pond, turned to the left and looking in this direction, she did a few slow steps in this direction the water did reach her laps, her slender naked body was humid and full of drops of water that did make her skin white like porcelain glow nearly like diamond, and her hairs that did follow graciously her movement like waves of copper silk, was so long that they did seem endless, dancing until her buttock. She was so beautiful that she did seem irreal, surnatural and Anne, dazzled, have take her for a nymph, as she was walking closer of the shores without thinking, fascinated, a troot have crack under her shoes. The ladies have put her arm on her breaths and a hand before her pubis and turn in her direction, looking for whom have make this noise, obviously she thinked to be all alone in such a isolated area of the woods. Then her eyes have find Anne, seeming obviously ressured to see that she was a female, she have smile to her and let her arms falling along her body again. Anne, her, did feel embarrassed, her cheek reds, feeling shameful and guilty as she was looking straight at her while she was naked but also and even more because she felt a weird and delicious warmess in her body that she did know to be lust, very impure thing. Then the lady have laugh, seeming amused by the situation, Anne did realize that it was also maybe because of the air on her face, her laugh was clear like chrystal, like a nymph's voice would be in Anne's imagination, and it did emanate such a joy, nearly girlish that Anne couldn't resist it any longer, she have smile at first, then burst in laugh too and step of the shore slowly and the lady have join here there. The lady did approacch, a enchating smile on her lips, the lady have burst in laugh when she told her that she did have ask her if she was a nymph, and answer her with a little mysterious air that she was pleased to can be confused with a nymph and she have laugh again and have tell her name "Hildegarde Alderman " and that she did live in a castle near to Linderhof. Anne, a large smile on her lips have introduce herself and they have talk a little more, the whole scene did appear like a dream to Anne who wasn't really sure to be awake, then the lady have invitate her to go to swim too. Anne felt shivers in her back and the weird warmess in her intensify at the idea to take off all of her clothes before the lady, to feel her eyes on her bare teenager's blossoming naked body and spend a moment there with her, like two nymphs, she did tremble at the thought, it was too much new intenses emotions for her, so after a long while, she have shake her head and pretexted to have to return to the castle now. So she left and they have tell goodbye to each others and as she did walk toward the castle, Anne did feel full of regrets for have deny to herself such a good moment that she could have spend with her, thinking that she surely would never see her again aside in her dreams. In fact, she have cross her in the three times since then while her walks in the forest, they have exchange only a few words because she did feel so emotionfull in her compagny that it did make her feel incomfortable and want to flee away from her and didn't stay, but each of theses moment have feel like dream. But none like what she felt while this first time she saw and since then, she have see this scene again and again, over and over in her daydreams and did think to it at night, feeling again theses weird feelings at this thoughts. Lost in her daydream, Anne nearly forget her sister's presence and the place where she is, then her headache take her back to reality, she sigh and look at Sybille, take a sip of her tea and remain silent for a while, then tell her.
Well, myself, I have encounter someone of new and it isn't someone of the court.

Anne frown slighty.
I know that we don't live in fairytale, I am not a child anymore ...
She sigh and add.
I just did wonder if in Saxe, there is specifiics specialities and traditions like in many regions and kingdoms of Europe, and if yes, which ones. But from your answer, I understand that it's just like here.
Anne take a inspiration, thinking to this lady, the air dreamy, feeling weird about talking about her since she never have talk about her to anyone before.
Lady Hildegarde, Hildegarde Alderman, I have encounter her in the woods ... she is very kind, lively and funny ... she seem mysterious too, I don't know where she live exactly, I never seen her around court, only in the woods.

Anne smile.
I had never hear about her either before to encounter her myself. She surely isn't knowed at all at court.
She reflect, recalling of the three times where she have cross her in the woods, that felt like a dream, fascinated that she was by the magnificent lady's presence.
In fact, I don't know where she live, but I have indeed seen her only in the woods, it's indeed weird, especially since she seem to be wealthy seen how clean she is and how rich her clothes are. For tell everything, I am very intrigued by her.
Recalling the first time she saw Hildegarde, Anne blush and feel weird, a dreamy air on her face, she answer her.
It was at the pond that is in the woods, where we have swim together. I was strolling around and I have kind of surprise her, she was walking in the water and obviously did had just swim in it too ...

Anne, the image of Hildegard in her mind, nodd.
Yes, it's surely it, she must live close to the forest and love to spend time there. One of the times where I have cross her,, she did have a basket with wild plants in it and told me that she did was looking for others plants, she seem to know plants very well, I don't know what she wanted to do with it ...
She turn to Mary and nodd again, rubbing her forehead as she get headache again, feeling it a bit hot.
Yes, he may know her indeed since he know nearly everyone at court and in the dukedom. I should ask him ...
Feeling getting intimidated at the idea to ask to her father about someone she isn't supposed to know and may seem too curious about, playing with her fingers nervously, she add.
Or maybe ... you could ask him about her and tell me after what he told.

Looking at her sister's face with her eyes reddened, she can see that she seem to be intrigued too.
Yes, know that you tell it to me, she could be a nurse and so the plants that she have pick up could be medicinales ones used for make infusions, it's could be a explanation. Me too, I am very intrigued by her and would like to know who she is.
She blush and add.
In fact, I hadn't stop to think to her since the moment where I have encounter her ... I know that it may seem weird but I can't prevent too.
She smile, reassured to know that Sybille will care of asking to their father about this lady.
Thank you, sister. Let's hope that he know her or at last heard about her and will be able to tell you and then me who she is.
She take a sip of her tea.

Anne nodd, getting thoughtful as she imagine hildegard in the darkness of a room, plonged in darkness, nearly invisible, only a part of her beautiful face and a halo of copper hairs being ligten up by a candlelight, selecting some plants and preparing them for make a influsion.
It's true, it's the only explanation I see for it. It's make her even more interesting to me because I think that people who know the secrets of medicinales plants and their effects are rares.
She nodd, take a sip of her tea and, thoughtful again.
Seen the richness of her clothes, I don't think that she can be a commun nurse ... especially since I never seen her at court ...
Feeling getting headache again, she rub her forehead.

Anne smile.
Me too, they are so clever and have such knowledges ! I would like her for talk to me about medicinales plants some day and learn a bit of her knowledges about them.
Anne nodd.
Yes, but I fear I couldn't go outdoor for now, as long as I hadn't recover. And with winter arrival, I probably will not be able to take as much walk in the forest and so I fear that I wouldn't see her again before a long time.
She look in her sister's eyes and shake her heads slowly.
No really, I still feel weak and I feel getting headache now.
She take a sip of tea.

I looked at her worriedly. ''Do you need something? I wish I could do something to make you feel better.''

Anne reflect to her proposition, then smiel and nodd.
Yes, I would like that very much ... I fear it's wouldn't be the same things that when someone directly transmit you his or her knowledges by oral, not as much lively, but it's would surely be interesting and papa and mama would be happy to know that I do learn new things, that I do complete my education.
Anne nodd and pout.
I probably will not see her again before wind, last year, papa have forbid me to venture in the forest or any insolated area of the domain while winter, until March, he told me that it's very dangerous. Let's hope that he know this lady, indeed, so when I will see her again, I will know more about her and will be able to talk about it to her !
She take a sip of her tea, turn to her sister and shake her head.
It's nice to you ... but there isn't much things you could ... I think that as long as I hadn't see a physician, all I can do is to rest as much as possible and to don't get cold. I have take a trepid bath recently, it have relieve me a bit but not for long.

I smiled to her widely. ''Then I will find some books for you and even a teacher if you wish....Papa is right,you shouldn't go in forest in this weather it is to cold for walks right now.'' I nodded to her worriedly. ''Then you should rest and be in warm and I could call a physician to see what is wrong.''

She nodd, a serious air on her face.
Yes, I know that he is right about it and I will not disobey him. But I hope that when I will have recover, we will make some familial talking walk or horse riding all together ! so I wil not have to wait until next spring for go again in forest !
She take a sip of her tea.
I think that I can rest here with you for a little moment, but after, I will return to my room for rest. And I wanted to wait to see if I would recover with some rest, but I don't feel better, so I think that it's would be time to call the physician ...

It's true !, I think that it's would great ! especially for you since indeed we hadn't go anywhere in family since your return here ... and it's would be the occasion to spend some family time all together, we should suggest it to papa and mama !
