Her Graceful War Song
Leaning closer to her mother, she whispered, "If Dad comes to see you, persuade him to cooperate with my plan. We have no other options."
Melanie released her grip, her tear-filled eyes watching Carmen with confusion.
"Trust me, Mom. I'll save you…" Carmen took a deep breath and mouthed silently, "And the other concubines."
Then, she spoke louder, "Don't worry. I'll definitely follow the grand princess' instructions. If I do everything right, we will be reunited."
Melanie's eyes widened. They were already gaunt and hollowed, and they now reflected a fresh wave of terror, making her appear even more pitiful.
