Heading to the Lower District [2]

Eleanor surveyed the bustling streets of the General District, the atmosphere as lively and noisy as before. Merchants called out their wares, shoppers haggled over prices, and the scent of freshly baked bread mixed with the sharp tang of herbs and spices in the air. Despite the chaos, Eleanor remained still, silently observing the scene before her.

Tina, who had just finished speaking with the old coachman, walked to Eleanor's side. She glanced at her lady's face, partially obscured by the shadow of her hood, and smiled slightly.

"Is it very noisy, my lady? Let's walk slowly," Tina said gently, her hand carefully supporting Eleanor's arm.

"Okay." Eleanor sighed internally. She was perfectly capable of walking on her own, but maintaining the facade of a severe injury required her to endure this unnecessary support. Gritting her teeth, she forced herself to accept Tina's assistance with patience.
