The wind brushed against her face brushing her hair behind, Sara tightened her hold on her child and thanked Kamini for her service before gathering the potion and required herbs and arranging them into her basket before leaving the house, she walked across the crowded road before turning right and starting her journey in the narrow and empty alley, her daughter placed her head on her neck and snored softly leaving her alone for the rest of the journey with one hand holding onto her sleeping daughter and another the heavy basket.

She hummed a tune her sister used to sing when was a child and kept walking before someone held her from back and pulled her right across the chest, she shrieked in fear letting the basket fall om ground and startling her daughter who started crying out loud..

After collecting his sword back from healer house Minister Abhram has went straight to the Village head house to enquire about the border issue and trades, The village head who looked around fifty welcomed him warmly and offered him water and some sweet which he politely declined and came straight to the thing he is here to discuss for.

"As per report the trade of this village has been drastically decreased going below to the average and the share of village which goes to the Palace hasn't been given yet, Is there any issue or resistance?" He asked.

"The crops has died this year due to hefty rainfall in this area, due to that we don't have enough share for palace treasurer, although I have asked the lady who is responsible for accounting to look into the bills and how much we can cut down to be able to pay the shares, She has given me some statics today evening but that doesn't seem enough so she will be revising it today and will be back with new records tomorrow" The old man explained with worry likes itched on his forehead and trying to not leave any trace of doubt in head of minister after he let it out that it's a lady handling the accounts he added "She is really a sharp woman, only because of her we had gained tremendous profit in last season, and have grown some extra crops otherwise the villagers would have starved this season" .

" Where does this lady lives? " Minister Abhram pushed his chair back and got back on his feet, he wanted to resolve this issue today only so that he don't have to stay here a day more and get back into the confines of his chamber where he can be all alone with her memories, but then he remembered something, he once again sat back and focussed on the old man

"And What's the issue of border?" He questioned.

"Some peoples are intruding in our lands and their livestocks such as cow and buffalo are entering our fields,  grazing and destroying our crops, because of it the fight has broken between some of our people and the neighbours "

" Do you think that was intentional and not by mistake" he questioned and the man at front of him sighed.

" It has occurred thrice in past a month, initially we were waving it off considering it as a mistake but as it keep happening we don't think it's mistake anymore, The king of neighbour kingdom was here for visit today but he has went to that non commited land of forest which is captured by the thugs and got injured".

Minister Abhram sighed and huffed in frustration, his work in here seems to be increasing only, he was only asked to look after trade and border issue and here now he has one more issue to look after, the thought of wrapping his work in here in a day has flown out of the window.

"Give me the address of lady, I will have a discussion with her over the accounts and then I will be looking upon the border issue" he stated and pushed his chair back standing back on his feet.
