Capítulo 61: Tangled in Lies

It was the same story every night until they reached the outskirts of Montclair. 

Duke Desmond would sleep outside of his wife's carriage but each day they would mostly ignore one another. 

Leonor talked to Gideon more than she did Desmond. He was easier to converse with because he put forth effort while the duke seemed to prefer speaking in short sentences. Even when he made announcements to the men, it was Gideon or another high-ranked soldier who spoke loudly to capture everyone's attention.
