Daughters Of The Dagger 03 - Amber - Plot & Excerpts
The archbishop and his entourage had left, and he’d already sent Sir Romney and Mirabelle to collect their horses. He had a short window of opportunity to steal the ruby before they returned. He’d never be able to accomplish the feat with her in there. He also had to think of a way to distract the guard. “Amber, darling,” he called to her. “Are you finished praying yet, as we need to get going?” She looked over her shoulder, then blessed herself quickly and hurried over to where he stood with the guard. “That was amazing,” she said to Lucas. “Especially the ruby.” “That ruby was sent from France as a present to England by King Louis VII,” relayed the guard. Lucas suddenly had an idea and hoped Amber’s ability to chat would work into his plans. “Sister Amber here knows a little about gemstones,” he told the guard, “as she and her sisters at one time all had jeweled daggers.” “How nice,” said the guard not at all interested. “Tell him about it, Amber.”
