Chapitre 64: The problem (1)

Annalise touched one of the sheets she hung over a tree branch to dry. It was still damp, but close to drying.

Annalise thought of leaving it here to dry while she did other work, but something told her that she could come back to the sheets either missing, dirty, or destroyed, so she began to take them down so she could hang them around in the yard for someone to see if they were being missed with.

Most of the knights had left the water while many of the maids remained to avoid work. Annalise did not think it was a smart idea to stick around the river instead of going to do the work Mavis tasked them with when they were short of maids. The new maids and other servants had not come yet.

Annalise started to take down her sheets and pile them up in her basket where the rocks she collected were at the bottom. After walking around the water to collect rocks, the bottom of her dress had already dried so she could go right to work instead of changing.
