Staggering back to her feet, Cerdina walked on, looking at her surroundings. The distant sound of music caught her attention, the sound of voices singing, and she headed toward them.

Approaching with difficulty, she leaned against a wall and watched a group of Tomaris gathered together, chattering merrily. But as soon as they saw Cerdina, they went still. She forced a smile.

“Brothers and sisters…” Her voice was dry and squeaking. She hadnt had even a sip of water in so long. Cerdina lifted the corners of her mouth, whispering. “Help me.”

The Tomaris looked at her in dismay.

“You must pay for your sins,” a Toma man said after a while.

The corners of her mouth twitched. She wanted to slap him to teach him his place, but that was impossible. She fought to hold back her anger.

“You would rather follow the barbarians than someone of your own blood?!”

“You were the one who betrayed us first.”

“Shut up!”

She ended up shouting anyway. The thought of having to bow down to these lowly creatures and ask for help was unbearable. Once she regained her power, she would trample them beneath her feet.

Shooting them a look filled with malice, she walked away, unaware that they were watching her and clicking their tongues as she staggered off. But that was only the beginning of her difficulties.

Cerdina had been a noblewoman all her life. She could never have imagined how a normal woman could survive on the streets of the capital, let alone a woman without arms. It was the first time she had ever experienced hardship.

Cerdina never imagined that just living could be so difficult.

All night long, she shivered, tormented with cold. When she could no longer bear her hunger, she ate food that had fallen in the street. Strangers looked at her with pity.
