"I will. By the way, how are those old fogies in the village doing?"
"They... are still angry, but because of the prince's orders, they can't do anything. However, many people do understand what you said, Your Highness, and feel that human sacrifice is unacceptable. The woman who performed the sacrifice has now returned home, and her family did not blame her."
