The duel having been finished, Marianna led the crowd back into the village as the duelists went to clean up. Ophelia in the lush tent that served as her quarters, and Rowena in Duchess Vittoria’s. (Patreon)

Marianna came back to the town square, where the Foxglove Sisters had been left levitating over the scaffold, unable to move anything but their heads and eyes. While Marianna’s magic had restricted them to grunts and other noises someone wearing a gag might be able to accomplish, she now loosened it to give them freedom of speech. She wanted them to have all their faculties for what she planned for them.

(Sorry there's no picture here, just had to transfer the plot back to the main square, and pictures of people walking are boring.)
