Chapter 73

• She exited the palace swiftly, without the guards asking her unnecessary questions like the other times. She made haste and took the route that led to the wood. After some time, her breathing hung in her throat, and she stopped, resting her palms on her knees with her upper body bent.
• Her breathing was so fast that she couldn't control it. She wiped her face and stood again, releasing a hanging air even though it didn't make her feel better. “Will he ever forgive me again? Why will my brothers do that to him?” She burst into tears again and resumed her race.
