Kapitel 96: Drunk Truth

The library had a sitting room that was set up with two couches on either side of a narrow table next to a massive fireplace that lit up the room without the need for candles. Once the fire was alive again, the room became hot enough that Leonor removed her shawl and tied up her hair with a ribbon.
