In this episode, we zoom into the royal palace of Persia, where things are a little… awkward. There’s a king with big feelings, an empty throne, and a plan to find a brand-new queen. Enter a young girl with a secret name, a caring cousin, and a whole lot of waiting. Beauty treatments? Fancy robes? Whispers in palace hallways? Yep—all of that happens here.
But beneath the glitter and crowns, something much bigger is going on. Why does Esther have to stay hidden? And how did an ordinary girl end up wearing a crown? 👑
Podcast Questions:
