The whole corridor fell in deep silence. The other people's eyes lingered on the two people entangled on floor. This is just a sudden accident that happened mistakenly but the result of the accident is not pleasing in the eyes. Master monk's eyes narrowed as he looked.

"Aiyara get up"  his voice broke the silence and everyone present there immediately brought back from their shock.

Aiyara realised she was still lying on top of Manik and she immediately pulled herself away from him. Getting up she bowed to Manik who was getting up fr floor.

"It is a mistake your majesty, I hope your majesty will be generous to forgive this disciple's misbehaves" her tone was loud enough to ring in every mind present there.

Manik wiped the dust on his cloth with his hand slightly frowning. He did not replied immediately but raised his head and looked at Aiyara who was standing slightly trembling. Before he could react another voice beat him.

"I hope it's clearly a mistake of situation disciple Aiyara" everyone turned to look at the source. Nandini walked forward with

Aiyara looked at her and her lips pursed in thin line before slowly nodding "I urge her highness to forgive me for this mistake, I will aware of this next time"

"Next time?" Nandini's eyes narrowed a little "there shouldn't be a next time" her voice was cold and rough  that gave other disciples the impression of devil aura. They couldn't help but gasped.

Aiyara is the most respected and senior disciple in the temple. Even the master monk shows kind of respect towards her and no one ever said harshly to her but today the empress seems did not even care about Aiyara's reputed standing in temple.

Master monk coughed a little "this kind of mistakes happens by accident. It is grateful that the doers will accept their mistake and try to reflect on it to avoid future disturbance"

"It's fine, we can't predict what will happen next besides it's not only about disciple Aiyara but also involves me. According to that fact we should have clear conscience about our surroundings" Manik replied.

Master monk nodded and before he could say anything a boy ran out of the room and yelled "master, master, that soldier man is awake"

Everyones attention turned to him. The little boy was huffing and breathed rashly.

"In that case we should give a check" Master monk turned to Manik "your majesty would you like to come?"

"Of course, this kind of matter should be handled as soon as possible" Manik nodded. After that they all loved towards the room where the unidentified person was getting treatment. When Nandini walked passed Aiyara, her gaze fall on Aiyara's body before she walked inside the room. Aiyara stood there looking at her back white biting her lips.

Inside the room, a disciple was helping the person to drink some water. It was when they realised few people suddenly walked inside. The man on bed looked up. His body was weak and it pained whenever he try to move.

"Don't pressure your body. It's not healed and if you move the wound will get worse" master monk said watching the man's movement on bed. 

The man struggled to force his voice out of his mouth "I — I th—nk— you—for-sav-ving-me"

His voice was hoarse as it seems he almost losing his tone. He coughed a little then his chest felt a sudden pang.

"Let your body to get relaxed. You were wounded so deeply that it's a luck you survived. In most cases no one stays alive in such condition" master monk replied.

Aiyara gave the boy near the bed to bring medicine. The boy nodded and immediately brought a bowl of black soup.

"Drink think medicine, it will give you relief from pain and also will clear your tone" Aiyara instructed him.
