Chapter 6 Reunion
Visiting the Mitchell estate definitely called for some tidying up.
Therefore, Winters first took a bath in the river outside the town.
He had now learned to swim and quite enjoyed it.
Because in the water, the burden on his left leg wasn't as heavy as on land, which relieved much of the soreness.
Cleaning his body, shaving his beard clean.
Winters took off his ragged lumberjack clothes and carefully retrieved a set of starched and ironed military uniform from the bottom of his trunk.
This uniform had been patched up in several places, and although the mender was skilled, it was still noticeable.
To outsiders, it was a military uniform.
To the knowing eye, it was actually the summer uniform of the Land Academy's officer cadets.
These summer clothes were precisely what Winters wore when he was escorted to Paratu.
