Fiona's POV
My ears rang at the authoritative proclamation of her voice, and I noticed the murmurs of agreement from the elders, all wanting my public humiliation just as the vile woman wanted it.
There was a satisfactory grin on her face; her cheeks glowed with joy as she subjected me to the scrutinizing gazes of the elders.
Olive had told me about them and their stand in this society. They had much power, and if they were to proclaim the punishment in agreement with Lyanna's words, there was nothing to be done about it.
We can't just stay and watch, Fiona. That first time Lyanna tried to whip us, we were saved by Elric saying the king summoned us, and the second time we were thrown in prison, the beast came. Iris spoke to me, there's no one here but ourselves now.
You are right, Iri
