章節 780: Riches to rag- Part 3

After buying the wedding gown from the tailor and placing it inside the carriage, both the young women had decided to take a stroll in the village before heading back to the castle. When they were going to cross the road, Madeline was the first one who caught sight of Rosamund, who stood on the other road with her daughter Sophie. 

Her footsteps had slowed down, and Lucy, who noticed this, followed her gaze to see what had caught Madeline's attention. 

Lucy was surprised to find them here, and she walked halfway to be followed by Madeline closely, and her aunt and her cousin covered the other half. The condition they were in was something she had not expected to see. The clothes both wore were overused and dull in colour, with patches on some places to cover the torn areas. There was dirt on their faces, and their eyes had turned slightly hollow. 

"I-Its so good to see you here, Lucy," she heard her aunt express to her with a forced smile on her lips.
