On the one hand, I'm glad the author had the sense to have someone be suspicious of a stranger feeding an unknown liquid to the unconscious girl. On the other, I wish they were consistent about it. A very powerful stranger rides up to your gates with five corpses and the unconscious body of the daughter of your lord and you don't even take her from the stranger? A very brief eexposure to the elements as part of the handover is not going to kill a sick person. Even someone suffering from acute hypothermia could survive that. Then, on top of all that, you don't even question it and immediately lead the stranger to a girl's private rooms. Escorted or not, that's a violation of privacy at the best of times, let alone when the owner is unconscious. Lead hhim to the most comfortable yet remote guest room available. As soon as she's indoors, immediately separate her from the stranger and escort him away, politely but firmly.
