CHAPTER 40

The kid finally let go and Nora took her.

“That lady is called Aunt Nora. She shall look after you after we get back to my home. She will teach you everything you need, for you to become strong like she is. No one in the future will ignore you. They will bow down to you and ask for your help. You in return shall not mock them but help them. Do you understand me?”

“Yes, I do mother,” the kid replied.

“But first I should name you,” Valery said and saw the kid’s face brighten up.

She pondered for a while the name she would like the child to have and suddenly she got one.

“I will name you Qara, do you like it?” she asked her.

“Yes, I do love it. Thank you mother,” Qara said and made her first bow.

Valery looked at Nora and smiled. The child was quick witted and she loved that about her.

“Nora, take her to the market and buy her clothes to wear. When we return back to the mountain, tell the tailor department to make more clothes for her,” Valery instructed Nora.
