Sigrid did not leave through the tunnels under the kitchen with the others, instead she stayed back and made the fire worse, the more it spread, the better more it would be noticeable. By the time she left, Rina’s entire private quarters were on fire.
When she returned to the castle, she did not sit still or hide like the others, instead, she went out with her knights, maids and Mauve who insisted on going with her. They joined the team of doctors and nurses tat were tending to the injured in the city.
Many had been hurt by the fires set by the rebels, others had been wounded by swords, some had been trampled on. Sigrid personally tended to the injured, bandaging wounds, comforting crying babies, offering words of comfort and hope, and inspiring the medical team to give give their all.
Amidst the chaos that lasted through the night, her compassion and leadership shone brightly. Her presence brought a sense of calm and reassurance to those who were suffering.
The whispers and praises about her in the makeshift hospitals set up on the streets and alleys traveled from commoners to soldiers.
"She is worthy of being the crown princess, she came out to face the danger with us."
"The crown princess is my number one idol from now on."
"She smiled at the baby, can you believe it?"
"Where is the cold uncaring woman that everyone speaks of?"
