The aftermath of the attack was a lot less severe when one compared it to the attack on the capital.
This was mostly because the people of the South were battle maniacs, so there were few to no casualties.
Despite that, the people still recognized the efforts of most of the tournament candidates, especially the prince and the lady of the North.
Ironically, just a couple of months back, she had been known as a failure who didn't even deserve to stand by the prince, and yet, here she was.
The irony wasn't lost on anyone.
And just as Adrian planned, their perception of her had completely changed....well, for most from the other dukedoms anyway.
Those from the South, just like their Grand Duke, didn't concern themselves with gossip.
All they cared about was whether or not one was strong, and Renelle had proved that she very much was.
In the days that followed the attack, life in the South had quickly gone back to normal...mostly.
