The next day, Elise and Selene wandered around Victory Pass, enjoying

themselves. Cindy had arranged for someone to guide them, but Elise declined, saying she preferred to explore at her own pace.

Victory Pass was now a town where two kingdoms met. Their cultures blended together, offering so many new things to see that the two young women were almost dazzled. Some snacks from Orivenia could even be found in Victory Pass. While wandering, Elise came across an embroidery workshop called Skye Embroidery and found it rather curious. She had seen embroidery workshops all over, but only the one in the capital went by the name Skye Embroidery. How was it that this town had one too?

Curious, she asked Cindy about it when she returned. Cindy explained that this Skye Embroidery was a different one, founded by Viola as a way to raise funds. Unlike the one in the capital, this one was simply an embroidery workshop; women could either work there or at home, bringing their finished pieces to sell.

In Victory Pass, there were also women who had been cast aside by their families. But usually, their families would take them back in as the rules here weren't as strict as in the capital. Only women who truly had nowhere else to go would end up at the workshop, but even then, not many stayed there.

So, the Skye Embroidery in Victory Pass served more as a place for women to earn some income, since the people of Orivenia liked to buy the handmade embroidery to sell in their homeland.

Elise had naturally heard of Viola, but hadn't paid much attention to her. Elise had been away in Meadow Ridge for so long and didn't know that Viola had come to Victory Pass. Maybe she had heard about it but hadn't thought much of it.

"She must be making a fair amount of money, though, helping others sell their goods," Elise said thoughtfully.
