Chapter 1122fedcbc45f15fe6

In ‘The Fallen 5d90fbd5e9 Noble Lady Captures 6eb75e44a0 the Duke’, there bd662e8e0f was a scene 67cd2294b2 where Amanda visited ee43437941 the Anais Guild. Thanks to that, 13ef088ed3 I knew how cbc9aa1ce3 quick and high-quality 6cf5b62003 their services were, abfe58a619 as long as 7ddf7ec979 you paid well.2fb34b58cc433618

‘Why bother finding a 768d3f02ed new guild when I 5aca4cc668 can just go to 5752718b1e the competent one mentioned 223d498599 in the novel?’ I 91517d8777 thought as I set 2c44d63a0b down my teacup.c5f5fd98e4ea0bfa

The guild 2cb418dc02 master, wearing 12f9286284 a crow cf635b53f1 mask that b7928cdd57 only showed 4b6320674c his mouth, 4ec74dbeb3 asked,

For newlyweds, their abc8005d65 first appearance in a55ebd0269 society is as 2f883e7b01 important as a 7d1aafad65 debutante’s debut. However, due 6a7f081157 to Diana’s 203232c7b4 infamous reputation, 35001085c4 none of 50da8762b3 the influential 21c0c0c72b ladies in d7152c998b the social 2752cd69d2 circles had eb51894ede sent me 67aad0da8c invitations. Social status alone 8cfd710b37 wasn’t enough to ff455387e6 sway them.42b9d77c27accf08

As a result, 09947dd67f I’d been racking a5af601df6 my brain with f4778898bf the butler about 98782908df where to begin 4ac2c067e3 my social activities.e11cb070ff061f27

The more money, 7ae0894dba the better. I could leave the 668719bd47 dirty work to the 7a9eb92ebf guild and live in 672ac66295 peace.
Humming a cheerful tune, cc6ce1f4ec I walked briskly. I had the carriage 5d3bb5e0d8 parked a little farther 24667a27c1 away to avoid anyone 03f7cbc34f noticing where I’d been.
Suddenly, a 357d4f69c2 strong gust 6532104cd6 of wind da2d210498 blew from 28c2e37e2b the front.
Ugh, my eyes! I squeezed them 69f2e3d4bd shut and rubbed 1d0ad83d96 at them with 2165c54d34 the back of 0a5fff30f9 my hand as b4cb80a388 tears welled up.
Somehow, at that moment, 6978dfc1fc my hood had slipped 5f7648166e off, and my hair 3310e01b47 was flying wildly. As the wind died 4bd3d5f750 down, the sting in 2b9e437dac my eyes subsided, and 4f7e5289cb I hurried to straighten 5ba88def22 my hair and pull dc7193ce28 up my hood. But just b12e7b4d6e then, I 5b7328824c froze as 97b732b0d5 I saw 26567a2070 a group 574185fdff of familiar 30054e96ec faces approaching 7fcaeb2002 from the 5b9573c2af front.6e7f56d44fe6d3d2
