Anna took a deep breath and tried to think of something else to say. "I understand that you're in a difficult position, but I just want to know the truth about what happened to my brother," she said. "If you know anything that could help me, I would be forever grateful."
The maid hesitated for a moment before finally nodding her head. "There is something you should know," she said in a hushed voice. "My lady's sword was stolen about a year ago. She has been very upset about it ever since."Anna's heart raced as she heard this. It was possible that the stolen sword was the one used in James's murder. If she could find out who stole it and when, she might be able to prove Landon's guilt."Thank you for telling me," Anna said, trying to sound grateful. "I won't forget your help."Anna turned and quickly made her way back to her own chambers. She knew that she had a lot of work to do if she was going to find the truth about what happened to James and Eli.====

Once everyone was on board, a priest stood at the front of the deck and addressed the gathered men. "Today is a special day," he began, his voice echoing across the dock. "We are here to prove our loyalty to the gods and to our kingdom. We must demonstrate that we are willing to do whatever is necessary to protect our home." He then waved his hand and two of the women stepped forward.The men watched in anticipation as the priest began to strip away the women's clothing. When they were done, the women stood before the men wearing nothing but sheer silk. The priest then began to explain that the women were to be used as motivation for the men. It was implied and explicitly stated, that they would be used sexually to reward the men for their hard work. The women seemed unperturbed by the instructions, merely standing there with a stoic expression.
