Capítulo 136: 136. A lie to Lyle.

Neriah knew her husband was no fool and since he was going on a journey, he must have placed someone to watch her every move since she had a history of meeting her lover. She had confirmed this when she had personally gone to meet the King's cloth maker because she didn't want her gift being exposed.

Now she was grateful for choosing that gift, at least they would not suspect her too much if she said she was going out to meet the cloth maker yet again. She knew they would still follow her in the shadows like they had been doing, but she also knew they would have let their guard down at this point.
