Around 5 pm, Kira and Ola helped Emma get ready for dinner at the king's palace. They chose a pretty purple dress with a graceful design for the girl to wear.
Emma later learned that purple was the color of mourning in Akkadia. She thanked her servants for being thoughtful and choosing clothes that suited her situation, as she was mourning her father's death.
For the past two days, Emma had toughened her heart and didn't want to cry anymore. She felt that her tears would only be wasted and make her weak. She tried to forget all the bad things that happened and focused her attention on the good things.
Haoran was still alive and he was with her in Akkadia. Emma just needed to survive so she and Haoran could stay safe until she could find Leon, her father's best friend, and asked the man to heal Haoran.
