En route to Saba
"I need time to process all of this,"
Sania stumbled into her chamber, grappling with the stark reality of the intricate web of politics and intrigue she had unwittingly become entangled in. What had her father orchestrated, and what kind of alliance had she been thrust into? Her initial belief that the Haras were a straightforward noble family shattered, replaced by the daunting realization that she had married into a complex and perilous world.
Khalji, her husband, held evidence that could unravel not just his fate but the entire Hara family. The gravity of the situation intrigued her, as she reflected on the fate of other noble houses, like Naer and Salam, which faced dissolution under similar circumstances. Her aunt's tale, marked by loss and resilience, served as a haunting reminder of the potential fallout.
