Hadyan felt upset. He was sure Tasia must be very tired and tortured all this time. Finally, he arrived at the palace entrance. His snake's body had turned into two legs. He walked quickly to their bedroom.
The return of King Hadyan, who had succeeded in bringing home the empress, became the centre of attention of all the palace dwellers who only dared to watch from a distance. They were afraid that they would be killed if they got too close. Before that, they all quickly changed into human-like forms because the empress had returned to the palace.
The ladies-in-waiting chief hastily approached the king. She gasped in surprise at the horrible condition of their empress, "What happened.."
"Ask nothing! Call the healers now!" Hadyan ordered.
Hadyan laid Tasia's weak body on their bed. The healers appeared beside the bed and immediately checked Tasia's condition.
