She glanced at the people in the throne room - the wait for the important news have taken its toll. Everyone looked tired and worn out, but the good news turned the mood around in an instant. The tension from the padishah has visibly vanished and he was almost back to his usual cheerful self.
"So we won as predicted. I hope he is ready for the next war, which will be political."- she thought while looking at the padishah, who was talking with the councillors and the messenger, discussing details on the battle. He did not need her today - danger will come, but not yet.
- "Zaila, come." The big tigress yawned and lazily followed her out of the busy throne room. She walked around the loud halls, the servants passed quickly by her, pretending not to notice her. She was respected and feared in the castle, Zaila was also a reason for it - people were afraid of the tigress. Usually the royal concubines were loved, because they were beautiful, talented and loved attention, but for her it was different. She had a mission, so it was better for her to be left alone. She had to get ready for the upcoming battle with the new ally. She sighted - knowing the padishah he was not ready for it.
"But I can rest for a bit now, just one day" - she thought to herself. Then she looked at Zaila and said:
- "Let's go to the desert, I need to be out of the palace." - The tigress purred in agreement. At the sound of it a small group of servants, who were excitedly discussing the battle, got startled and anxiously moved away.
