Chapter 26 The Party

• The maidens gawked at Zalina's new appearance. In truth, no one thought she would still be so beautiful. Atleast not after all the torture she's been through.

• 'Bunch of sycophants' She thought wearing a faux smile. If only they knew she didn't want their praises. In fact, she didn't want anything from anyone. She just wanted to take her daughter home.
