While sprinting, Gabrielle wiped her tears with the back of her sleeve. As she approached, the two hunters guarding the boar pen furrowed their brows.
"Oh, it's little Gabrielle. Is there a problem?"
"Open... the... pen..." The teenage girl could barely speak, her breath short.
The two guards exchanged uncertain glances. Despite her status as an apprentice apothecary, Gabrielle was too young to command them.
"I know you're not one to spout nonsense, but I need to know why," one of the two n said.
Gabrielle opened her mouth, stifled a sob, and closed it again. Seeing the orphan's condition, the two guards understood sothing serious was happening.
"OPEN THE PEN!"
Broli was rushing towards them and his panic convinced the guards.
