Everyone has been whispering that King Shahryar has gone mad. That’s he's no longer acting like himself. That after the death of his late wife, he changed. How could I believe that if he's been nothing but a just and kind king until now? But the servants in the palace are whispering. Some say that he executed his wife. I wonder if it's true. It doesn't matter, I'm the Queen now. I wait patiently for my king in my new chambers. The silk soft against my skin. I smile when I see my king walking through the doors, but he doesn't smile back.
