Chapter 486: The Gambling Table and Impermanence

Seeing Shard pull a garter from his pocket, Lecia showed no emotion, but Angelina thought for a moment and said seriously to Shard,

"Sir Knight, please accept this as a token of my gratitude for saving me tonight."

"No, I don't need any thanks."

Shard naturally did not want to accept it, as the item would be of no use to him, but Lecia unexpectedly urged Shard not to be so modest:

"Shard, just accept it. You might not be aware, but in earlier times, noblewomen from the upper classes would present a garter as a token of recognition for a knight's bravery; and in this era, noblewomen still use the same method to express their admiration and affection for the bravery of noble men. It is a very romantic and refined gesture."

This was no lie; the Outlander had read about similar customs in books when he was learning about this world.
