~Dahlia POV~
When I woke up the next morning, my body throbbed painfully, and my skin, still sore from all the beatings and whatnot that I had suffered the day prior, sizzled with pain; and I felt weak. So weak, but this was mostly because I've not had good food for a couple of days now.
Deciding to breeze through my chores, I quickly had myself cleaned up and headed first for the pantry where I gathered all the necessary items for preparing breakfast before heading for the kitchen next to give them to the kitchen staff.
I had just finished from the laundry and was heading to Beta Orion's manor when a mournful shout came from the palace gates, causing everyone around the vicinity to turn on the direction of the noise. I was even further shocked when three women rushed into the palace, crying profusely and even rolling on the dusty ground. And between their sobs, they kept crying for Beta Orion to come to their aid. To save them.
