King Yuri ordered Hashim be treated well. He was taken to a nice room and offered good clothes to wear and good meal but he rejected the food as he was sober.

“I have a family!” She said, “King Yuri, the people here and my sisters. They are my family.”

“Well, Yuri seem to have a queen, right?” He said.

She nodded.
