99 The Model Mother and Wife

Patricia Trenel.

Wife of Patriarch Mallard Trenel, mother of Gaius Trenel and grandmother of Leocadius Trenel.

A virtuous wife, a woman of noble heritage and model mother - but today she wore a black veil over her still beautiful and youthful face that looked like she could be Gaius' younger sister. She was also covered entirely in black from head to toe in a long black dress and with a black silk manteau draped around her shoulders to protect her from the cold autumn winds.

She was standing outside Mallard Trenel's private training chambers at the moment, standing perfectly still as she humbly awaited her husband to complete his daily practice. She stood demurely, gazing lovingly at her husband of 50 years who was still vigorous in his advanced years and looked to be only growing stronger with every passing year.
