At Follad Place after midnight, Alizeh waits by the fire while Miss Huda tries on another gown. Miss Huda mocks her own appearance, but Alizeh interrupts despite her low rank and insists that Miss Huda’s harsh self-criticism is false and unfair.

Miss Huda breaks down and explains that her mother orders identical gowns for all her daughters, ignores Miss Huda’s different figure, and threatens to cut her pin money if she complains. Alizeh recognizes that Miss Huda has been wounded by cruelty and decides she must first restore the young woman’s confidence before fixing the dress.

Alizeh studies the green gown and Miss Huda’s posture, then explains that the dress overwhelms Miss Huda rather than flattering her. With scissors, pins, and a seam ripper, Alizeh removes the high collar, ruffles, bustle, and excess shape, refashioning the gown into a simpler, elegant silhouette. Miss Huda is astonished and moved, seeing herself with new hope.

Alizeh leaves Follad Place exhausted, carrying the green gown so she can finish it before Bahar retrieves it in the morning. She has also accepted responsibility for designing five more gowns for Miss Huda, while still needing to survive her own work shift and find something to wear to the ball.

On the road back to Baz House, Alizeh senses she is being followed and arms herself with sewing tools. Six black-clad men surround her. Alizeh offers them a chance to leave unharmed, but they laugh and refuse, so she attacks. Using scissors, needles, physical force, and a moment of disappearance, Alizeh kills five of the men and spares the sixth only so he can warn his master to leave her alone.

After the fight, Alizeh retrieves and cleans her tools, saddened by the violence and worried she may need to uproot her life again. As she prepares to continue home, a flash of light appears. When Alizeh demands that it reveal itself, a young man materializes, kneels, and addresses her as “Your Majesty.”
