Fiona inclined her head, a soft smile on her face. “I’m only doing what I came to do, Chief Jaren, she replied. “It’s the least anyone would do in my place. 

Around them, the villagers began voicing their thanks one by one, voices rising from the crowd. 

“Thank you, Lady Fiona!” a woman called out, her child held close beside her. 

“Thank you for healing my husband,” another shouted, his hands raised in gratitude. 

“You saved us, Lady Fiona!”

Their expressions varied- Carissa’s unreadable, the envoys wary, and Rio frowning slightly. 

Fiona didn’t linger on them. She climbed into the carriage with a calm step, finding her seat as Elijah followed closely behind, pulling the door shut behind him.
