Return To Carmarthen

A week after Madeline had recovered enough to travel back, a small ceremony was held to ensure her safe return back to Carmarthen. Although she had politely declined it as she had no interest in such things at the moment, Elaine and Inna had convinced her to do it since it was an important tradition from Whitebridge. After endless persuasion, Madeline was forced to give in, and the small farewell ceremony was held on the day she planned to leave.

It was supposed to be a happy moment, a way to cheer up the despondent Madeline. Napoleon had graced her with a title from Whitebridge, and all the Town council members were in approval of the honorifics bestowed on her. Madeline could only smile with gratitude as it would be considered rude to refuse their own way of saying "thank you"
