Rella smiled at her sleeping daughter, and Fasal soon joined them. The thing was—Rella wanted to keep her alter ego as Sorahb reborn a secret as long as possible, especially since she didn't want to have to fight a parental figure again—she was worried about that with Lady Tremaine.
Fasal kissed his wife's cheek and Allie awoke, beginning to cry.
Picking up the crying baby, Rella gently began rocking Allie and singing an old Farsalan lullaby that Sudaba had sung her to sleep with—when she had been scared that Sudaba wouldn't want her anymore after learning she was a servant to a "deghass" in her rightful house. "A naoidhean bhig, cluinn mo ghuth. Mise ri d' thaobh, o mhaighdean bhan. Ar righinn oig, fas as faic. Do thir dileas fhein. A ghrian a's a ghealaich, stuir sinn. Gu uair ar cliu's ar glorie. Naoidhean bhig, ar righinn og. Mhaighdean uashaill bhan."
Allie resumed sleeping and the family left the boat and headed to the newly constructed Farsalan embassy. Tomorrow morning, they'd tour town—Ella would show her husband all her favorite places as a child.
