Well, with everything said and done, that could have gone worse. It could have gone better too, but at least not worse. Through the interrogation and the fear, in the end you benefit from the mercy of the nobles and clergy. The biggest factors in your favor being your beauty and your presentation as a harmless foreign girl. Your claim though for being a prophet, rather than a god, is not a popular one but it works in your favor. Someone claiming to be a false prophet can be managed, but someone claiming to be a false god... trial by fire would have been the only option.
It goes without saying that you would be ejected from the castle, away from the ruling family. From what they know of you thus far however, you are considered both too valuable and too risky to let loose into the world. So in exchange for mercy, and a relative lack of persecution, you are permitted to remain within town and continue to help those in need. Under the stipulation that you keep your faith to yourself (with a paladin to supervise and "protect" you at all times), that you remain in safety within the walls, and that you see to the needs of Eindward first and foremost... which given the war, means soldiers first.

This situation imposed upon you, of course you aren't happy with it. But gods know the soldiers need your help... honestly, perhaps more than the needy and the refugees even, for it is these brave men who throw themselves into harms way to protect the others. In this regard you appreciate the work, but the conditions are still not to your liking. Required to live where they tell you, always under supervision, and they took your ankh on top of everything else! Your rings and your menat, even the clergy couldn't discern as divine objects, but the ankh clearly is a symbol and so deemed heretical. You would have snapped then and there when they seized it from you, if you weren't sure you could recover it later, and that you wouldn't have to break their mortal bodies to keep it.
All things considered though, indeed it could have gone worse. And it's only been a day or two since, you know that if you so desired you could change your situation as you saw fit, by will or by force. You accepted the situation for now, to reduce mortal hostility towards you, and because you've been returned to a position of helping people. The plight of the soldiers is dear to your heart, and it's not as if the poorly and the refugees can't still come to see you... they just have a difficult time of it, trying to get into town past the wall and gates. Much easier when you were living among them. But, there is no mistaking, that you are only a "prisoner" for as long as you allow it.
