qDanrique dashed forward a moment too late, only managing to grasp at the thin air her arm used to be moments

before. By the time he realized what had happened, Francesca was already soaring out of the window with her

arms outstretched.

Danrique was about to follow suit when he found to her relief that she had landed safely and was busy rummaging

for missing jewelry in the snow.

Although her bedroom was only situated on the second floor, it was still forty feet above the ground. Inexplicably, it

did not even seem like a superhuman feat to her.

Under the increasingly heavy snowfall, Francesca brushed the snowflakes off of her shoulders impatiently. Despite

being clad in only a thin gauze skirt, the cold did not seem important enough to pause her search.

Even more suspiciously, the sprightly movements with which she plodded atop the snow barefooted were most

unlike that of a frail woman in convalescence.

Danrique squinted his eyes and looked at her, his eyes flickering with a spark of recognition. What a familiar looking

back.

“Oh, Ms. Cece!” Norah appeared anxiously with a coat at the ready. “Aren't you a little underdressed? What are you

looking for out here by yourself? Come in, you're going to catch a cold.”

“I'm looking for the jewels your idiotic master has thrown out of the window,” Francesca blurted aloud in her

anxiety. “I couldn't find them anywhere.”

Her voice rang clearly up the castle walls and reached Danrique's ears who frowned at the unflattering title.

“Come in quickly, please. I'll have someone look for it for you. We will find every single gemstone there is.”

Norah draped the coat over Francesca's shoulders. “It's freezing today. We must warm you up and ensure that

you'll be fit enough to attend the banquet with Mr. Lindberg tonight.”

“What banquet? I'm not going anywhere!” Francesca retorted, her mind occupied with nothing else but the lost

jewelry.

The glint of a topaz caught Francesca's eye. She pounced and extracted a beautiful topaz necklace from a mound

of snow. Slipping it carefully into her pocket, she resumed her search.

Norah had no choice but to summon several bodyguards to join in the treasure hunt.

With the additional pairs of hands, most of the lost gems were recovered swiftly.

After the men swore that there was none left to be found, Francesca counted her loot and found seven pieces.

However, the total number of items that had been flung out of the window by Danrique remained unknown to her

as they had been contained in two large boxes.

Cradling the jewelry as if they were fragile, she dashed back upstairs for another tally.

After ordering the bodyguards to resume their search in the snow, Norah escorted Francesca back to the castle.

Two maids immediately came over with more coats and blankets to drape over her cold body.

Francesca was about to head up the stairs when Danrique descended gracefully. “Why did you throw them out, you

lunatic?” she asked angrily.

“I told you that you're free to throw it out if you don't like them.”

Danrique could not be indifferent, as if it was not something worth mentioning.

“It was through my efforts to have recovered them,” Francesca said quickly as she clutched the jewelry against her

chest, for fear of being robbed by him again. “They're mine now.”

Danrique nodded. “Sure.”

Francesca threw one last suspicious glare at him before disappearing upstairs to count her loot and found

everything else accounted for except for a ruby ring.

In her panic, Francesca was about to dive out of the window again when Norah hurriedly grabbed her. “The walls

are exceptionally high, Ms. Cece. You'll hurt yourself.”

“I won't! I did it earli-”

Francesca stopped herself just in time. She was just beginning to realize how reckless she had been by defying all

expectations of a frail woman with a gunshot wound by leaping out of the window without a second thought.

Danrique might have noticed something amiss.

“Please, Ms. Cece,” bleated Norah earnestly. Change out of these wet clothes and go have breakfast with Mr.

Lindberg. Leave the ruby ring to me.”

“I think Mr. Lindberg seems a little angry,” she added with a wink. “You should coax him.”

Francesca was speechless with indignation. “On what grounds? He threw the things, didn't he?”

“I-”

“Forget it, Norah,” Francesca cut across flatly. “I'm going back out for the ring.

Francesca stowed the jewelry away safely, put on her boots and coat, and went back out to the cold for the

remainder.

Finders, keepers.
