Chapter 11c5efbcbaf985c915

In ‘The Fallen 0cf3e820af Noble Lady Captures d7d199710f the Duke’, there 3c97342267 was a scene 108f2fd604 where Amanda visited 1186e3350a the Anais Guild. Thanks to that, b37660b861 I knew how 9d0b605ba8 quick and high-quality c4a75ac418 their services were, 65465173fc as long as d570644f20 you paid well.f53492744ae3e965

The guild master, wearing d01d2efb1e a crow mask that cd00c9d134 only showed his mouth, a5f4f38a9b asked,

For newlyweds, e1714b39df their first e2839f61f7 appearance in ec7fb3b354 society is aedca53fff as important 4a13bc5d98 as a 35c7607e93 debutante’s debut. However, due to Diana’s 7e822267ee infamous reputation, none of d4c96065f7 the influential ladies in 333b29ab0a the social circles had 59ec277a05 sent me invitations.

The more money, the 51d23ecc8b better. I could leave fe9ddeba8c the dirty work 5b7252411a to the guild 886ac4c0fa and live in b78b7b2850 peace.
Humming a cheerful 2143d4dfed tune, I walked 27c3cae4d9 briskly. I had the carriage d1034f64e7 parked a little farther 5710e43d1f away to avoid anyone 3149211f30 noticing where I’d been.
Suddenly, a aca49165e4 strong gust 093da5b064 of wind b7e851b035 blew from 9c6bddfe5d the front.
Ugh, my eyes! I squeezed e24a9af863 them shut da6246faff and rubbed 676671a746 at them 7d7f6def94 with the 9e340924cb back of 5e6877dcfb my hand 67254d19ba as tears ef2694b26a welled up.
Somehow, at that d1b3af0274 moment, my hood 0f3bd752bd had slipped off, b5769b2436 and my hair 5fd12d75a8 was flying wildly. As the 7d45dfdcd9 wind died 70bb18941a down, the e6796f9a7f sting in ccbfe69d8d my eyes cad45375e8 subsided, and 21b84cac5a I hurried 6bb61183da to straighten 2bb3788fea my hair fd1afefa9f and pull 449f69fa0e up my 1f97c5319a hood. But just then, I a1aca6d08e froze as I saw db32f926e6 a group of familiar d8489c42b4 faces approaching from the 20e1e3725c front.cffe4217de20ba96
