Chapter 837: Thief!

After they rested for a while by the river, Lady Liz took Rowena back to the town square to watch the ceremony to show gratitude to the earth goddess.

Lady Liz made sure that Jarvis and the other three knights tailed them from a safe distance. She didn't want the incident with the mayor's son to happen again.

She patted Rowena's dress from dirt and made sure the girl's face was covered by her hat. 

The two of them walked back to the town square, holding hands. It was getting late and the sky was slowly turning into a crimson hue. However, that did not dampen the crowd's enthusiasm.

The town square was still filled with people. They wore the best clothes and brought their children with them.  This annual ceremony was believed to bring the Earth Goddes' blessings that allowed them to have a bountiful harvest every year.
