The wedding between Shadya and Ismail was the talk of the city, there wasn't a place which didn't have news about them. "Two wealthiest couple getting married, we are having a feast" the people shouted on the streets and it went on for a week. Reiki told me that we needed them distracted so that we can perform our secret plans to overtake the city. For three days he and I visited the mines and talked to the slaves discreetly, warning them about what will happen and also to ask for them to free themselves when the time comes.
However, there was still something I had to do - and that was to cross the black sea and face the monsters, yet still I didn't know why I had to face the monsters.
