Ovelia's POV
The sun dipped low in the sky, casting a warm glow across the Thunoa Village. Ann and I were strolling, enjoying the warm air since we didn't have anything to do at Chief Gareth's house yet, and I couldn't shake the worry that gnawed at me. Ace, Ray, and Philip were still out, and the thought of them being in danger sent a shiver down my spine.
"Lady Ovelia, would you like a snack? A male vendor is selling grilled corn over there," Ann whispers, pointing eagerly to a man tending to a small grill in the distance.
"I appreciate it, Ann, but I—" Before I can finish, she grabs my hand and pulls me toward the vendor.
"I'll pay, Lady Ovelia! Sir Ray gave me pocket money before we left Silverhowl Kingdom," she exclaims, her eyes sparkling with excitement as she smiles broadly.
