When Rosalie heard that such a small piece of cloth was so valuable, she couldn’t help feeling a little disappointed.

The rough fabric she had sewn inside the blanket was only meant to hold the cotton in place. Beast hides were too thick. If she stuffed the cotton straight inside, it would shift around and fail to keep anyone warm.

“Rosalie, someone’s here,” Julien said.

Rosalie finally realizes she was still holding his hand. She quickly let go, feeling a bit awkward.

Monica linked arms with the newcomer and introduced her sweetly. “Mother, this is Rosalie, the one I told you about before. She’s the one who saved my life.”

Yuna was an elegant woman, calm and dignified, with a quiet authority that didn’t need anger to feel strong.

She gave Rosalie a gentle smile. “You’re a good child. You saved my daughter. Our family will not forget this kindness.”

Julien lowered his head slightly when he saw Yuna. “Greetings, City Lord.”

Yuna nodded at him. It was clear she recognized him.

City Lord?!

Rosalie was thunderstruck. Monica’s mother is the City Lord?

The tribes around the main city were spread evenly. Carina’s people all answered to Vaford.

The bazaar and every business in town were under the City Lord’s control.

Rosalie never imagined that when Monica said she was staying with relatives, she meant the City Lord.

Rosalie was stunned for only a moment. She quickly composed herself and said calmly, “Saving Monica was a small thing. I couldn’t stand by and watch two living beings die.”

Since Rosalie didn’t flatter her or act nervous because of her status, Yuna looked at her with new respect. Her expression softened.

“Mother,” Monica said eagerly, “the rice and the dishes you ate carlier were all made by Rosalie. She’s amazing!”

“Oh?” Yuna looked at Rosalie with interest. “You made all of that?”

“Yes,” Rosalie replied. “I grew and processed the rice myself.”

She continued, “I also made something recently. It’s called a cotton quilt. It helps women stay warm during winter.”

Rosalie took out the quilt. Yuna pressed it gently, then wrapped it around herself. It was warm right away.

“What’s inside this quilt? Why is it so soft?” Yuna asked.

Rosalie handed her a handful of cotton. “This is cotton. When it’s placed inside animal hide, it becomes soft and very warm.

“If you like it, you may have this quilt.”

Yuna paused. “I shouldn’t take your things. But Monica may give birth during winter. Having this quilt would make things easier for her.”

She added firmly, “I won’t take it for free.”

With a wave of her hand, someone stepped forward and presented a bag filled with silver coins. There was enough inside to open several shops in the city.

Rosalie was surprised by Yuna’s generosity. Though tempted, she gently pushed the bag back.

“Monica is my friend,” she said. “And the child she’s carrying has already been calling me Godmother.

“It’s only one quilt. I can always make another.”

She hesitated, then continued when she saw no displeasure on Yuna’s face. “But … if possible, I’d like to borrow some manpower from you.”

Carina raised an eyebrow. “Manpower?”

Rosalie nodded. “Could we speak somewhere quieter?”

The place was noisy, so Yuna followed Rosalie to a private room on the second floor.

Only a few people remained inside. Julien came along as well. Rosalie didn’t ask him to leave. He was her business partner, and sooner or later, he needed to know.

Yuna looked confused at such a serious arrangement.

Rosalie met her gaze, her brow tight and her tone grave. “A chillwave is coming. We must
