You're not a mere concubine Sorayah.

The Imperial Prison ~

Sorayah, now stripped of her ornate garments and dressed in bloodied prison whites, lay unconscious on the cold, stone floor. Her delicate frame was battered, her once-radiant skin now marred with bruises and smears from the savage beating she had endured.

"Oh well… Isn't she a fallen concubine?" sneered one of the prison guards, circling her. "I heard she's a human too. And now that she's lost favor, no one's coming to save her. Isn't that pathetic?"

The four guards surrounding her all chuckled darkly.
