I slept most of the time, like almost throughout the day, only to be awake to bath, to relieve myself. and to devour few light meals of broth or porridge which Ieyasu will painstakingly cook for me.
I tried to fend this lethargic notion off, but it seems impossible. And my nauseating guts would only be at ease, if I just simply sleep it off.
I felt terribly hopeless as I can't be any help to Ieyasu with the chores, but he simply will pushed me off to rest, either with his sharp glare or "hmmm, is that necessary?" I don't take offence though, I just feel so touched with his thoughtfulness.
However, my resting days soon was clamoured by the most terrifying scroll which was cruelly thrown on me...
While I was staying in bed and sleep had almost touches me, suddenly I overheard mumbling and murmured of whispering voices. I knew one of them is Ieyasu's and the other one, I couldn't really make it out who it was, but there's so much familiarity in his tone. He seems to be someone that I knew...
I crank my neck closer to the wooden wall, as I tried to catch on with their conversation which seems to be intense.
"Both of them will be executed without trial.." noun that voice. Upon hearing those words had, immediately send a cold shudder running up my spine.
"Who could they be?" Screamed my thoughts as I continue to eavesdrop.
"There's not much time to waste, please bring our Queen far away from here, so our future King or Queen would be safely born." Note that voice again. "This had twisted in such an unexpected manner. Thinking everything will be over, hoping so much peace could be attain but, tragically this is the price which we need to pay, for the peace which we wrongly crave.."
"Luke.." I recalled as I gasped. Within that moment, I flung the coverlet off from my body and quickly get myself off from my bed. In a haste, I push the door open and there's Luke looking extremely fragile with fear and anguished.
"Your Highness," exclaimed Ieyasu looking startled.
I ignored his gaze, his pleading voice asking me to go back to rest, as I came closer next to
Luke and pry my arms firmly onto his.He set his leave green eyes on me, it was bleak with sadness, shrouding with that powerless gait. Deep in my heart, I knew something terrible had happen to Will.
"Will.." I gasped. "What happened? Luke tell me, where is he?"
"Will wants you to be taken away from here," replied Luke shortly his voice croak with hidden sorrow.
"I will but not without him.." I cried. "Where is he? Tell me, damn it.." I exploded.
