The Murmuring Tale of the Heart (29)

who often misbehaves despite already having children and two concubines, one of whom is the ruler of the Kingdom of Ibmajumund. After that, Tingit was also visited by an old woman who was a witch and had apparently visited my father in a dream, appearing briefly when I was idle and something secret happened.
