The girl screams, Vani runs—she's too slow, his work's done
It's a dream; is it real? How to know what to feel?
Who's the girl? Who's the man? Vani does not know the plan
She's alone, palace not home, but she isn't free to roam
Servant in Volannas' house, next to ladies just a mouse,
She'll be queen if king wills—at the thought her heart chills
And that life where she was small, it never happened at all.
