Chương 1107: Quilis and His Partner

Lord Parker would celebrate his wife's return long into the night, drinking and feasting heartily with his officers.

There he would regularly toast to her magnificent intellect, toast to their imminent victory and most of all retell her brilliant escapade, which was of course heavily embellished.

First of all, there was no mention of Lord Cassius or Lord Nolan in it, making it all Miss Linda's singular brilliance, garnished alongside extreme inadequacies on Alexander's part, such as his guards supposedly returning to their quarters during the afternoon to take naps.

That's how Miss Linda had managed to escape, according to her own recount. 

It was a claim that no one of course dared to question, nor did someone like Lady Adele deign to speak up to disapprove it, the lady being more than content to sit in a corner and drink herself to almost death.
