425 Escorting Party

A few hundred kilometres from there, Jack's wife had just finished buying some gear for herself. The dark leather armour she bought, in conjunction with the two daggers strapped to her lower back, hid her actual age well.

Margarett was close to Jack's age too, being fifty-eight years old herself. But when dressed well, and pampered up, she could easily pass off as a late thirties woman.

And right now, with her equipment on, she looked like a mature man-eater assassin.
