RVMPT Chapter 11

Chapter 115f71bf100aaa3fd8

In ‘The Fallen 6aa370d468 Noble Lady Captures ba29b5d58b the Duke’, there 969d0df49a was a scene 8e59115bc4 where Amanda visited 2a4bb98688 the Anais Guild. Thanks to that, I e84f661965 knew how quick and b9b1f5fb24 high-quality their services were, 4af17ee269 as long as you 4770f911f6 paid well.9c7d5ebc9de72d5d

‘Why bother finding a a32c872db9 new guild when I 3a0ddedde2 can just go to 3816eff36c the competent one mentioned 0907bd5c99 in the novel?’ I 7d15064c60 thought as I set ffdfcd97d5 down my teacup.27414300743341de

The guild f5e2ed7464 master, wearing 7adbc31a22 a crow 25439c0f79 mask that 1a8f6cc3d3 only showed e3a7e1a039 his mouth, c924b6a1fc asked,
“Duchess, are you d0b1df61a1 here for information bed7d18e75 regarding high society?”190f26f8e06958ca

For newlyweds, their 9ec03fd049 first appearance in e807d35bdc society is as 3b9bd4e0c1 important as a 1aa2050e3d debutante’s debut. However, due to Diana’s 363b9ae24d infamous reputation, none of 6137bda0dc the influential ladies in e8a189b4c1 the social circles had d2ff578db0 sent me invitations. Social status alone 1ddcdf7ae6 wasn’t enough to b4dea1d092 sway them.e34d9110ee69f35b

As a result, I’d 6c3d76046c been racking my brain 654e03eaf4 with the butler about 7bf2942d9e where to begin my 6d57c1c457 social activities.c7aa86c902f7a486

The more money, the 6349490d0f better. I could leave the a484acd8ff dirty work to the 323f5e807f guild and live in 3148814ab8 peace.
Humming a cheerful 0ca76a28c0 tune, I walked 80d7422819 briskly. I had the carriage 09b77db836 parked a little farther 4b2f6f50ca away to avoid anyone 624f63307e noticing where I’d been.
Suddenly, a 620d6736c5 strong gust 161bf1c5b4 of wind d77b4f4ad5 blew from 60b11ad49c the front.
Ugh, my eyes! I squeezed them shut 6d739cbd51 and rubbed at them 6192241a7f with the back of 5cf779ff0e my hand as tears bb0099bd1b welled up.
Somehow, at f40dbcf2d6 that moment, 1b76887aa5 my hood 082a23cce6 had slipped dd434e0208 off, and 6119a4a7a2 my hair 3a3abd56a5 was flying b4fbe2da70 wildly. As the wind died 3da8c0a09f down, the sting in bce95fe465 my eyes subsided, and 46da2e412b I hurried to straighten c377c6da90 my hair and pull 9130be0b32 up my hood. But just then, 53a0fc3445 I froze as 8df7c0a940 I saw a 11e638a3e7 group of familiar 910e91be19 faces approaching from 386adc3f1a the front.2a765f24e5f22702
