Luca:
It was truly a blessing that Kash had decided to forgive me, and I knew why he did it. He only did it because of his lover, his wife, Iris.
Because I was from her community, that was his way of showing her that he was giving us a chance, that he was not going to hand us the worst punishment immediately.
Honestly, it was too much. Even I might not have been able to do that.
He really loved her, and there was no way I could ever outshine that love.
Besides, I had hurt her deeply by not respecting her relationship and her personal space.
But ever since I had been in prison, and they had forgiven me, and I had come here, things had changed.
I had told them everything I knew. They tried to locate my children, but sadly, they were still in Lara's father's care.
Kash was being careful because he did not know how many of his father's warriors were loyal to him.
He had only recently taken over the crown, so he did not want to rush into anything and risk my children's lives.
