It had only been a few weeks since the incident in the Rogue district, and already she seemed like

Ever since you survived the Rogue district — which you weren’t supposed to, by the way, in case you already didn’t know — my parents have been punishing me. I’m sure you remember how hard it is to be a peasant. I’ve been miserable. Edrick had them cut me off from the money; but once I
