章節 44: The Gibbous Auction House

Viscount Attonson ― no, Eugene ― had led Daphne to a bustling street in town. 

They had left the palace shortly after their conversation, with Daphne sneaking back into her room to change into something simpler first. She wasn't going to risk getting robbed outside just because she was naive enough to wear all her glittering jewelry out with her. 

The only accessory she kept on were the dangling earrings that Atticus had given her.

She was utterly furious at that idiotic man but there was just something about the garnet earrings that made her feel safe. Daphne was careful enough to style her hair in a way so that the earrings were hidden by her hair and could only be seen if she swung her head around hard enough.
