No matter how much the 6d85d69541 weather had warmed up, making 0285d3d388 the fireplace unnecessary, outerwear was bff062b265 still essential.764e05806af46790

Yet, unlike me, who was e720c9b05f dressed in a thick material f81871b8fa dress and had wrapped a 6255444f1e shawl snugly around my shoulders, 5e54f68761 the children were in thin 26ddab9d10 dresses, light shirts, and pants.0a94442ec3d3cb69

To my eyes, 307f2edaf0 they looked cold b6b3a8fbaa even within the 37cb51d4c3 ducal castle, let 82e83ddc83 alone in an 57d9dba638 underground passage.fcbcc53a59a93901

Of course, considering that our de92d63848 destination via the secret passage 0d524bd317 was Dior’s room—more precisely, his 22101393a9 wardrobe—it might seem like a 0a4720d80a waste of time to ask a05dd475ea the maid to bring coats…57d0747237d7bdb0

‘But isn’t it better than catching a cold?’5bfdc97fc18af12f

Honestly, I felt 70d7a89da8 a bit proud f88fe865ed of myself for bc871d79d8 being an aunt 7e4834b213 who considered and a5cd45c336 looked after even 915ff1877e the smallest details 7a1313c6c2 for the children, fab4f899fb so I was 1bb592705c somewhat taken aback 9f5efd39fc by their reaction.b1716a23afc24457

“Yes, normally, it should be much colder around this time. However… the weather has been 1ec100e2c0 unusually warm, and people have d108c94535 been talking about it.”1630afe7fddb6a07
