Chapter 48:

• Ezra’s P.O.V
• As soon as Flora was inside, I went straight to the bed and opened up a compartment at the side that hid a dagger for safety measures. All Maidens had these daggers in these secret compartments along with the weapons drawers, but their location was only told to them when times were turbulent. Just like now. I took out the dagger and hid it inside my skirt.
• Flora came out a few minutes later, dressed in pants and a shirt in dark colors. Before I had a chance to warn her, she put on her white gown and tucked in the sleeves to cover what she wore underneath. Good, she had understood that this was all a cover up.
