Lyanna was in her room, seriously considering Roland's offer of refuge when someone knocked at the door frantically.
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!" A servant burst in without waiting for permission.
"What's wrong?"
"It's Emma, Your Majesty! The girl you saved months ago. She's very sick. The village elder brought her to the castle because the village healer said there was nothing more he could do."
Lyanna froze.
"Where is she?"
"In the healing room. The healers say it might be measles, and if it is…"
Lyanna immediately ran towards the healing wing, her heart pounding with fear. She burst into the healing room and saw the village elder sitting beside a bed where Emma was lying.
"Your Majesty." The village elder said when he saw Lyanna. "You saved her once before. Please, save her again."
