章節 187: Durand Jewels

The following day, Desmond insisted Leonor have a slow morning since he and his men were going to scope out Montville so they could make some more permanent decisions about the upcoming winter. He left her a carriage and a couple of guards if she and Beth wanted to wander into the town.

Regardless, they would reconvene after lunch and give the news they were there to deliver to Gerard. Leonor wanted to see how he would take the news after all. 

After a light breakfast of sweetened porridge and tea, Leonor slowly got ready with the help of Beth and emerged a new woman with a corseted waist and a beautiful canary golden color. It was the first time she had worn that dress and it felt suitable for what they would get up to that day. 

Not only was it fashionable but it was also incredibly warm. The high neck and thick sleeves made the breeze that whipped through the mountains feel less intense.
