I savored the warmth of Aurelia's embrace, her presence filling me with a sense of hope and determination. As we pulled apart, her eyes met mine with a serious yet loving gaze.
"We need to figure out how to help the villagers," I said, my voice steady. "They've been suffering for too long under the king and queen's rule."
Aurelia nodded, her expression thoughtful. "I agree. But first, we need to gather information. We need to understand the extent of their suffering and the resources we have available to help them."
I glanced around the garden, ensuring we were still alone. "I noticed that many of the villagers look malnourished and overworked. The fields are barren, and the markets are empty. It's clear that the king and queen are hoarding the wealth and resources."
