Once the servants left the room Duchess Savez turned to me and slapped me hard across the face."You fool!" She spat out at me. "Have you lost your mind?"
The slap forced my head to the side having caught me off guard. Pain coursed through my cheek and as I brought my hand to it I turned to look back at her. And there it was, her true nature. Gone was her kind expression and cheerful demeanor. A cold cruel looking expression had replaced it. Just like I saw in Ayans' memories.

"How can you go from the most favored wife in the harem to the least favored in such a short time?!" She continued to yell at me. "What happened?"
