Tabit was extremely happy when she heard her father's decision. She looked at her mother but she was just too distressed. Tabit knew that her mother was still reeling under the loss of Meissa's betrothed Okab and was too worried about her pregnancy.

Alina shook her head. She got up from her place and took a deep breath. She said to her husband, "King Eltanin killed Okab who was Meissa's fiancé. Are you going to let this matter slide like this? Have you no guts to face that man?"
