Chapter 64

After the scene in the room, Baski was holding her breath as Danika came out of the bedroom with Remeta wrapped tightly in her arm. 

Remeta agreed to take a bath. Sally and Danika helped her with that. Sally helped her bathe her body clean while Danika spoke reassuring words to her.

Remeta agreed to eat. Sally and Danika were there to help her. They fed her until she was full. While they did that, Baski walked to her wardrobe and picked out clean clothes for her, which they helped her put on.

Danika picked up a comb and sat the girl in front of a big mirror in her mother’s room because she had broken the ones in her room.

“You treat Remeta like a princess, my queen,” Remeta whispered in a hoarse voice, a smile on her face as she swiveled her head to stare at Danika so lovingly. 

Danika ran the comb down the wet mass of her hair. “That’s because you’re like a princess to me.”

Remeta smiled again, turning to stare at herself in the mirror.
