Evelina had already realized that fortune was not on her side. When had it all come to this, then? Well, she could easily trace it back to the moment when she accepted her duty. From there came bandits, thirst, hunger, rejection, shame, and a failed criminal.

Ah yes, random people pounding at her door!
"Evie!" the voice chirped, like she gave her permission to be this friendly with her.
Evelina grumbled, kicking away her blanket like a child forced to join the midnight prayer. Just when Nelle had finally given them a break from all those meetings and getting-to-know-yourself exercises, there went the others thinking that they could disturb her long-awaited sleep.
She had not slept for days!
