Because when she escaped from the private room, her body was covered in blood, and she had lost one of her high heels in a hurry.

Right now, she only had a man’s shirt that reached her thighs. When she had just been at the Walpole’s manor, Arthur had felt sorry for her and asked the maid to get her a new shirt.

She was wearing the slippers that the maid had given her.
