[1793] The Mercy of Her Veins - Chapter 3-ish (Fantasy)

Crit:[2035]
Hi all,

This is around Chapter 3 in this fantasy novel project. Some world-building terminology that was introduced earlier (this maybe more information than you need):
Manaseli - Traditional clothing

Amthini - Pilgrimage from village to village where mothers carry a pot of nautrali flowers on their heads, alongside a carriage with a statue of the Goddess Nautra

Nautrali - red flowering sprouts

Thyni - Ruling Queen

MC is at the last stop of the pilgrimage, because she knows it will get her past the castle walls.
