Children of blood and bone Chapter 66

Father stands in his night robes, scanning a faded map. No sign of hatred. Not

For him, carving MAGGOT into a girl’s back is just another day’s work.

In that instant, it hits me: Zulaikha’s death. Zélie’s screams. They don’t mean a
thing to him. Because they’re maji, they’re nothing.

The message I can take from this  is that Zelie had the word maggot carved into her back and now she is going to be used in a bad way to get the scroll for a man and then he wants her to destroy the scroll and then once she has destroyed it she will die and she will have a parade around the town.

I think that this is bad because Zelie is being used in a bad way and she did not get to say what she wanted to do or if she wanted the word maggot carved into her
