บท 474: Overheard (Ch.475)

Neveah stirred her horse to a stop right outside the castle gates, nodding towards the guard at the gate who hurried over to take the reins.

"Top of the morning, My Lady." The guard greeted with a small bow as Neveah handed over the reins.

"Morning Caleb." Neveah returned the greeting while retrieving a sword box attached to the saddle of the horse.

"I will have someone take that." The guard, Caleb offered, noticing the sword box was more heavy than it looked.

Neveah shook her head slightly, strapping the sword box over her shoulder.

"You know me Caleb, I'm a big girl... I can handle my personal effect." Neveah replied fondly.

It was a reminder Neveah had presented hundreds of times to hundreds of people but she had quickly come to realise that here in the Dunes, the daughter of the beloved Dune Lord was a treasure to all.

"Of course, My Lady. To the stables?" Caleb asked for instructions on Neveah's horse.
