Chapter 72

• Throughout the night, Odessa couldn't get any sleep. She paced around her room, praying for the day to break quickly so she could go to meet her brothers and know what was going on. She felt that once she shut her eyes, they would be executed, or her parents would torment her for being the cause of all that was happening.
• She peeped through the window so many times, hoping to see a little brightness in the sky. It continued that way until she began hearing noises of people.
• No matter how she tried to brighten her face, she couldn't. She hurried and freshened up, less concerned about the day's work as a slave that she was. She aimed to visit the King and lay curses on him until she was satisfied—even if she would be killed later on.
