She is in love

"Which place is this?" asked Anne as she looked around. It was somewhere in the middle of the woods.

Men and women were sitting in a group and dancing and singing with merriment. She had thought that after the burning of the black market, there would be panic in the commoners but it did not look like the case.

"They are commoners who belong to poor areas. They have lived in fear of being sold in the black market for a long time.

But now that the place was burnt and closed, they finally have the courage to come out in public.

This was their first time to be collected as a group and enjoy themselves. So, they are having a small bonfire feast." he explained as he held her hands and brought her near the small seat that was made by cutting a large tree from the middle and used it as a bench.

Many looked in their direction and nodded as if Declan was an old acquaintance of theirs.
