What Queen Anastasya had sent would greatly help Gideon and the four villages under his authority.
However, this action was of course quite suspicious to Gideon, especially since both sides had been in conflict just yesterday.
Gideon suspected that Queen Anastasya had hidden intentions behind her kindness in giving food aid.
That was why Gideon ordered Viviene, Lena, and the others to count what types of food were sent and how many, then calculate them according to the standard price of each food item.
It was done solely as a precaution in case Anastasya brought up this favor again in the future. Gideon could hand over plenty of gold to repay the woman's kindness.
Hopefully not, but it is always a possibility. I still have to anticipate it.
Lena and the others reported the results of their counting to Viviene. Viviene received it all, then stepped closer to Gideon.
