[Bonus chapter] Gossip

Not wanting to come out of the room, Siora stayed in. She placed her satchel on the side. They were supposed to leave in the evening and so she had a lot of time at hand. Siora started chopping vegetables… slowly. She was not expecting, but when she saw bread and honey with vegetable stew given to her by a servant, she accepted it. She needed all the food for her health, for her magic. So, Siora ate whatever was served to her, and continued chopping the vegetables. A girl would come and take away the chopped vegetables at regular intervals. 

Siora grew impatient and by the time it was evening, she was reeking of the smell of vegetables, milk and dampness. The girl who was coming to pick up, informed her that she had to go to the mansion with a group of five men to set up for the makeshift kitchen. Siora collected her bag and followed the girl to join the group eagerly.
