"Would you like some fruits?" Emeriel asked.

"Yes, please," the girl replied, her voice small, her little smile hopeful. "What's your name?" "Dabekka."

"Now, Dabekka, hold out your clothes," Emeriel instructed, helping the child raise her garment to form a makeshift pouch. She then emptied the fruits from her basket into Dabekka's cocooned dress, ensuring the fruits stayed secure.

Instead, she squared her shoulders and continued toward the fortress. Let them think what they like.

"Welcome back, Princess. The herbalist is inside," the soldier stationed at the entrance informed her.

"The herbalist?" Emeriel frowned. She had already visited the herbalist's dwelling, collecting the herbs he was supposed to deliver, before going to the garden.

They struggled for control of the weapon, muscles straining as the blade wavered between them.
