Accepting Tasia's refusal, Hadyan sighed harshly. "But you have to eat to gain the power to take the babies out." He replied slowly. Tasia didn't answer him, just looked away.
"At least eat a little, would you?" Hadyan coaxed again when one of the servants came over with a bowl of warm porridge.
"Let the Empress do what she wants, King."
Hadyan turned to the female voice coming from the bedroom door.
"Lady Sri,"
Hadyan gently patted Tasia's shoulder twice, then said softly in her ear, "Lady Sri has come, Tasia."
The woman opened her eyes and smiled weakly when she saw a graceful figure wrapped in a silver-white thong with a blue scarf standing beside her bed.
"Welcome, Lady.." Hadyan and Tasia said at the same time, but in different tones. Tasia's voice was very low and hoarse.
