Chapter 104

• Louisa's POV
• When we walked into the main tent, I saw all the dignitaries sitting around a giant rug at the center of the tent. Seven exotic dancers, half-naked, were moving their slim waists and slender arms while dancing to the cheerful beats of music played by a band of musicians at the corner of the tent.
• Everyone in the tent was watching the performance of the ladies, but I laid my eyes on those musicians. They were kneeling on the ground, wearing legcuffs, concentrating on playing the oud, dulcimer, and drum.
