The First Empress

Chandiraiyin aasai

A wolf is no less a wolf because he's dressed in sheepskin and the devil is no less the devil because he's dressed as an angel.

As Umayal laid next to her kids, her heart was racing from all the anger. For some reason, her eldest was lying next to her.In reality, whenever she slept with her kids, her eldest daughter would sleep next to her younger sisters and brothers rather than her mother.

Umayal: Chandirai... Eppozhudhum un sagodharargaludan urangum nee indru yean Enakku aruge padutthu irukkiraai???

Chandirai before answering wrapped her mother up for a hug and said.

Chandirai: Thangalukku idharkaana thevai irukkiradhu endru thondriyadhu thaaiye...

Umayal hugged her daughter back.

Umayal: Nee ilaiyavalaaga irukka naan unakku vaaippe tharavillai allava???

Chandirai remembered a certain prince's face when her mother talked about her future.

Chandirai: En vaazhvai kuritthu sindhippadhai vidungal thaaiye... Naan thangalidam pudhidhaaga vandha sittrappavai kuritthu vinava enninen..
