Capítulo 197: Traitor

Once we were back out onto the streets, I started to notice that people were not only avoiding eye contact with us but also giving us a wide berth as we passed. It was strange that the Queen would brand me as a traitor but then not do anything about it.

"Why are there no guards here to just come and pick me up?" I asked as I looked around from Mishal's arms as we walked.

"I don't think she actually wants to talk to you. I think that she is hoping that this will deter you from coming to the castle. This is just how Melrose deals with most people and the reason why so many of the Easterners leave the city. Once you have been marked as a traitor in Bramma, all services are cut off to you. Those that don't follow the same have the same happen to them unless you are Peekaan," Mishal explained as we turned west down another road to point us at the castle that I could see in the distance.
