Nausicaya woke up tied up in a cage. She sat up with difficulty, recalling the recent events: Talmekia invaded the Valley of the Winds, she persuaded the people to surrender... right, then she was taken away to avoid any attempts at rebellion... probably now she was sold into slavery. Nausicaya wanted to say something, but found something like a horse bit in her teeth—probably a gag for slaves. Nausicaya sighed, realizing she couldn't do anything.

Nausicaya: (to herself) "Great... so from almost a princess I became a slave... but at least I managed to avoid unnecessary casualties among our people. Well, at least one piece of good news. I wonder who my new owner is? And when will they open the cage?"
