VALORIA WILDEROSE'S POV
In a mere three days, Eros manages to restore most of the chaos Elowen had released on everyone, restoring order and freeing most of the concubines and servants trapped in solitary confinement.
But the change is not enough to calm the already present tension between the concubines — a faction believing in conforming to her majesty's laws and the other deciding to go against her.

It's like the world around me has fallen into chaos without him.

I sit in front of my vanity quietly, trying to relish our triumph as Yue brushes my hair from behind after insisting on helping me dress up for it.
