"Good morning, Countess!"
"A lovely morning to you, lady!"
"Good morning, lady countess!"
"It's just Countess, child. Not lady countess—"
"Look, it's a pretty lady!"
"Did you sleep well, Lady Jannah?"
The Countess strode through the crowded street, her footsteps slowing as passers-by turned to greet her.
The greetings of the children and adults echoed in the air, their voices full of enthusiasm and energy as they beam at the Countess, lighting up the atmosphere of the street.
People called out greetings, their voices blending together in a chorus of recognition and respect, making Jannah smile and nod in response, pausing occasionally to ruffle a child's hair to return their cheerful greetings.
The street was alive with activity, the clamor of footsteps, and the calls of mothers or fathers for their children to eat, creating a constant, energetic hum.
