One late evening as Aesrii was sitting on her father's lap being fed,
a knock on the door came. He handed her to Asyame to answer the door.
He was surprised to see two guards there, quickly leaping to grab him
and bind him in chains. Asyame was quick to scream but Aesrii just
watched quietly as he was taken away.

They both eventually found themselves in tears though for different
reasons, each wearing down enough to fall into fitful sleep together. A
letter arrived the next morning, informing them that Konroos was a thief
who had stolen from the Sultan and had been beheaded. His head now rotted
on a spear at the palace as a statement for all other thieves.

As Aesrii grew older she found herself a pariah of Hamsah society as none
wished to be tarnished by association with one punished so harshly by the
Sultan. Her mere presence pained her mother, for she was nothing more than
a memory of a happiness she had once had. They managed to get by, but it
was not a happy existence for them either.
