The sound of the whip falling filled the room. Tied to the wall with a heavy chain, sealed with magic was the woman who once stood on the pinnacle of success.
She was no other than Warda. To the world, she was announced dead. One of the casualties in the war. Due to Zamarad's grace, it was hidden from the public the role she played in instigating the war.
If they had known, it would affect Shahzad's rule. To protect her family, Zamarad suggested that they keep everything from the general public.
She had known the backlash that her curse would cause. From the minute Warda decided to hurt her son, she was well aware of the consequences.
As the days went by, her body was wasting away.
The Queen that was respected and loved by the people was no longer there. What was left of her was only a shadow of the person she had been. Coupled with Zubeida's torture, she was in a sorry state.
