Emery told chief Brennus about who she was. The possibilities her enemies might come to find her and endanger the village, and also the fact that Gwen's mother died by the hands of a Fey. Despite knowing what happened in her past, the chief still agreed to accept her.
The chief gave her a hut of her own. The place was a small, simple wooden hut with a roof made of straw. Emery noticed how tiny it was, as the hut was not even comparable to the room of the Lioness palace maid.
Seeing the condition of the hut did make him a little concerned.
"Well, it's pretty much all like this here… Gwen."
Gwen was smiling, but this time, Emery wasn't sure whether it was forced or not.
"It's fine, Emery and thank you… This is… the first time you called me by name."
Emery merely nodded. He had nothing else to say to her.
Thinking that Gwen probably wouldn't stay for long, he then stopped worrying about the hut. But that was not really his business. He decided to leave her in the village to the mercy of the fey sisters.
Well, he did ask them to take good care of her before he had to leave and return to his training.
Gwen stared at Emery, who had turned back and walked towards the woods. From deep within her heart, something stirred.
Right as Emery walked out, a girl approached her. It was Morgana, the fey girl who came to her rescue last time.
"He spends most of his time training. If you need anything from him, let me know and I can call him for you."
"Thank you." Gwen smiled and shook her head. "Let him train, I came here to know more about all of you."
Morgana escorted the princess around and took her to the biggest hut, where the other four sisters were waiting. As she was the only one among the siblings who could speak in the common tongue, Morgana helped translate and facilitate communication between them.
The siblings looked at Gwen with a strange expression. The youngest one even frowned before asking.
"Tkara ludo nila, Emery?"
"What was that?" Gwen asked Morgana.
"She is asking who you are to her brother, Emery."
Right after she finished speaking, Morgana stared at Gwen together with all four of her sisters. It was no secret that all of them were curious about her answer.
Their curiosity kind of unsettled her, but she still managed to answer calmly in spite of that.
"I am… Emery's friend."
Morgana translated her answer and the other four nodded in satisfaction, before whispering amongst themselves. Gwen stared at them and whispered at Morgana, asking what they were talking about.
"I told them you are just Emery's friend and they are happy. That's it." She answered curtly.
Gwen stared at the red-haired beauty in front of her. Something seemed to be amiss.
"Well, we are… Okay, we might be a bit more than friends. We have known each other for 10 years."
Hearing this, Morgana didn't react. She just stared at her with a blank expression.
"Will you tell them that?" Gwen asked
"No, they will be fine."
"…"
Gwen was stunned into silence.
After some minutes of talking, the sisters brought her to a tour around the village, to ensure she knew her way around and to introduce her to the locals. Learning the language would be difficult for her, but deep in her heart, she was happy to have taken her first step to explore this world. Their clothes, their food and their tradition, everything was new, and she took the sight eagerly.
There was no shortage of natural wonders all around her. During her short tour with the sisters, she saw a lot of plants and animals she had never seen before. She spotted tiny, colorful birds flying overhead and, from the bushes, a group of quick-moving rabbits with gleaming fur.
Here, she could find everything she asked for. Safety, beautiful scenery and adventure.
She was only here for a short time, but Gwen realized nothing about the fey people was as scary as she was told back in the kingdom. In fact, she found them easy to get along.
More than anything, she was grateful that none of them treated her as a princess. She was left alone by herself most of the time and she spent her time doing everything the sisters did. Chores were split evenly between them and she got a portion of it every day.
Without realizing it, Five days have passed.
Morgana came to tell Gwen that today, she and her sisters would go see Emery. She asked the former princess if she would like to come.
Gwen quickly nodded, finished up her chores and entered the woods together with the sisters. Right as they reached the woods, the five sisters transformed into large wolves, shocking Gwen at first.
Each of them were twice the size of an adult man, with intimidating claws and fangs. She stared at them for a few seconds, but eventually, she gathered the courage to touch the white wolf's fur.
"You have such a beautiful fur, Glitta."
Surprisingly, Gwen spoke in the fey language. She was only here for a few days, but she had already managed to pick up a few simple words.
The white wolf was so happy she let Gwen ride on her back. They dashed through the forest. Gwen enjoyed the feel of wind on her face, the distinctive smell of leaves and the occasional chirps from the birds flying overhead.
The place they were heading to wasn't too far from the village; they slowed down to a stop after reaching a small hut. This was the place Emery sometimes used to continue his experiments on the fey.
From the moment she saw the hut, Gwen could smell the scent of various herbs mixed with smoke, likely from something brewing inside.
The sisters knocked on the door and Emery welcomed them. However, just like their previous meeting, Emery was still unable to find anything to talk with her about.
Afterward, Gwen and the sisters went inside the hut, where then Emery took out a few bottles of golden liquids on the table.
Gwen looked at Emery when he gave each sister a potion, from the few words she could catch from them, it seemed the potions could make them stronger. She was definitely intrigued.
"What about me, Emery? I wish to become stronger, too."
