___

It is the Countess Charana, wife of the Earl Kaidard and chatelaine of Nazmart.
'Come, child,' she says to Belarith, 'it is late, and the air grow chill. It is not good that you always linger up here.'
'I was only watching for Sikandor...'
'I know, and we are all concerned for your brother, but these vigils will not hasten his return. Come, say goodnight to your father then get thee to thy bedchamber where your nurse will be waiting.

___

It was the Countess Charana
wife of Kaidard, the good Earl
Of the lateness of the hour
the lady informed the girl:
'Now cease thy futile vigil
and good-night go bid thy sire
remind him of your affection
then to bed let ye retire.'

Oh, it's her mother. Well, that isn't who/what I expected, given the previous page. Or perhaps it still can be--I saw the thumbnail to "Scrying" coming up, and it looks like our Mother Countess here has some secret-ish mystical abilities to draw on. Maybe she IS on the other side after all...

The character design here is great--her hairless brow is fitting and a little disturbing.

A strange fashion among the Aratanian aristocracy, perhaps.
