The harem became the nosiest place in Akkad again. Day in and day out, the women sang and danced to the newfound lover of the emperor. They believed she could make him happy again. The arrangements to welcome the unknown woman were well handled by the queens.
Queen Alissa knew it was queen Ariadne. She put all her favorite colors in the empress's Chambers. As for the baby, she had no idea what the mother would want. However, one of the rooms was redesigned to suit the taste of a Prince.
This evening, the women finished with the arrangements for them. To regain back their strength, Queen Alissa, Vida, and princess Marlena sat in the music room to relieve themselves. Also, the room was far away from the hall and courtyard. Grandmother and her witch of daughter won't interrupt them.
