Queen Ariadne's POV.
The village became crowded when we started sharing the items. People were to attend if they wanted to, but I didn't expect them to be this much. Anne said it was the gifts that attracted those who were not at the temple. It could be true. If I were in their positions, definitely I will come to collect mine too.
Apollo and the guards followed me everywhere I went. They said that the Emperor told them to protect me against any force. These people were innocent to me and they don't look like they were going to harm any moment.
I was stubborn in my way, maybe the Emperor was yet to Know that. Anne was still sharing the item, so I joined her. The people thanked me a lot, and I wish they stopped. The most important thing was that they all gave their blessings to me. It was the best part for me.
