Quinlyn was given a small single room in the village for the night due to her obedience.

The woman who led her there and opened the door was very obedient. She not only helped her fetch water for a bath but also wanted to scrub her back.

“I can do it myself,” Quinlyn refused. However, the woman didn’t leave and instead knelt at the door.

Here, women were undervalued, their main role being to serve others, with even less rights than servants.

After a few glances, Quinlyn allowed the woman to come in and scrub her back.

The woman seemed pleased, her rough face breaking into a smile. As she carefully wiped her back with a towel, she couldn’t help but exclaim, “City folks have such soft and fragrant skin.”

Seeing only one bar of soap by the basin, Quinlyn knew the woman probably couldn’t afford it. In water–scarce areas, baths were rare, and people often used spices to mask body odor, making the daily showers of city life unimaginable.

“Do you want to go to the city?” she asked.

The woman fell silent, shaking her head violently to indicate she didn’t.

But Quinlyn sensed she wasn’t unwilling, just afraid to speak.

“How many years have you been here?” she asked again.

The woman hesitated before honestly answering, “Two.”

Quinlyn was stunned. In just two years, an adult woman had been reduced to a puppet without thoughts, too scared to step out of the village or even remember to bathe.

“Do you still remember your family?” Quinlyn almost asked but held back. It would be too hurtful.

After her bath, Quinlyn joined Bill and the others in the yard for dinner. Black bread and lamb stew were the best meals here. She was glad she had extra lamb at noon.
