136 – The City’s Square
The demon captives and that one human follower of Vorn are paraded around the city. People came out of their homes or workplaces to see what was happening.
"That's the prophet." One of the boys whispered.
"She's so beautiful." His friend answered.
A girl chimed in. "I want to be like her!"
People's attention was actually focused on Velvet rather than the prisoners. They whispered, and some even shouted love to her.
From the start, Velvet was uncomfortable with that kind of attention. She wanted to live quietly without their interference from every corner.
Not to mention she must always maintain her public image. She was leading a group of captives and soldiers guarding them. Many times that woman has to keep her head from lowering while at the same time holding herself back from yawning.
She must always look strong. If she fell from the horse, people would think too far. They will assume it's a bad omen.
