CHAPTER 43- DEVUNIAK II

LUNA VANESSA

I silently walk past through the corridors while watching the people doing their job. Light reached the half of the hallway and I feel it's warm embraced on my skin. My eyes wandered around. Fountains at the center, newly cut grass on the lawn, smelling the weeds were mixture with dying roots and twighs with soil. Strong odors went straight to my nostrils. I past many rooms that were guarded with Eunuch.

Eunuchs were considered the most suitable guards for the many wives or concubines a ruler might have in his palace, and the eunuchs' confidential position in the harems of princes frequently enabled them to exercise an important influence over their royal masters and even to raise themselves to stations of great trust.

They're countlessly ladies-in-waiting hired in this palace some are new arrivals, they're inside taking care of the concubines to make sure they are fit to his Majesty. But who cares about them. We must find Vidiana fast.

I take a few glimpse on the light. A light that brightened up the world.
I never have the chance to see the dawn. Since we're afraid to be burnt alive. But now I can freely go out without fearing it.

I went back to the maids chambers and saw Aldanard standing on the post, guarding the maids place, he was assigned to secure woman inside since the rumors that there's a kidnapping of woman. It's been ten days since we've gone into Devuniak palace, these palace are loads with woman from a high class and the king has his four wives waiting for the birth of an heir. Two concubines are now carrying a child in their wombs.

I ignored him and put down the basket, a crisp of paper got my attention and I look back "Take this to the west hall Lady shen suffered a terrible illness the doctor prescribe this medicine, he wants you to nurse the lady while his checking with lady feng it was said that she's already in 3 trimester. I heard a gossip that almost woman died in this palace. Some say it's a curse because even the newly born heir didn't survived hopefully lady feng will safely delivered her child"

"Curse? There's no such thing as curse Aldanard"

"Then how you explain those phenomenas?"

"I don't know, and I don't care"

"You're an attendant of lady Han how come you.."

"Shut! I don't want deal with you"
I growled under my breath and stared at him deep into his atoms down to his soul "We came here to get Vidiana not to be involved in such cases including the rumors of poisoning the heir!"

"Poisoning? You already know the caused? Funny for a woman who knew about medicine doesn't wanna help the people. Dying on their bed, accepting their fate. Princess Esthelian would be furious.."

"Don't bring her highness into this!"

Few more weeks. the month of July is coming to end june. The harvest festival of Estheria is coming too soon. Wonder what her highness doing now on the east wing? I never doubted her for anything, even our first met I knew she is something, like a black stone and will turn into a shining diamond when polished from hardwork.

"The rumors spread on the palace that the ladies and concubines were suffered on the same illness, that is a curse no joke"

"I said I don't care! And it's not a curse. Siguro may nakain Sila o may ginagamit silang bagay na maaaring magpapababa ng kanilang buhay" I exclaimed and snatch the small box wrapped on a piece of white cloth. "Maybe I can help, a little" I said and left

"Be careful darling"

"Chee!"

"What's his deals with me, that man always pissed me"
I almost flopped and a glimpse of memory came in an instant, it was the same day like this,
