Stained Lace Gloves
It was a small price to pay, Lydalia agreed fervently. One pair of fine lace gloves -albeit her best ones- for her life. The servant had already taken them to be burned, Lydalia had no desire to set eyes on the once beautiful workmanship now. It was clearly an attempt at her life- poison in the stew served at the evening meal. The attempt was subtle, but the meaning was anything but. She was not welcome. Once, she had been, but now elevated to Baroness, she was no longer. Only her serving girl was truly loyal and to be trusted now. It had been her quick thinking and 'accidental' stumbling that saved her life. Ruined gloves were the least of her worries now.
