CHAPTER 44- DEVUNIAK

LUNA VANESSA

I went to the western palace and stop, Bowing my head and introduce myself and the Eunuch and I waited for someone to reply and it took about a minute of waiting before he generously open the door for me. When the lady inside response.

As I enter the room I smell an odor which must not be kept inside specially for a woman who has a baby on her womb. The room is fine but the odor keeps me wandering around.

"Lady shen, his Majesty send you his gift, his coming"

After that he left. The Eunuch past me and my eyes studied his movement and it bothers me. He bought himself a strange flower with a beautiful box. The ladies-in-wating take them and the man who brought it left immediately.

The maid put the flower on the vase near her bed and she lay down, feeling a bit dizzy. A doctor came and I handed the medicine. The doctor examined her, he pressed her radial pulse and counted. He let out a sighed and took out something on his bag.

Lady shen's ladies-in-waiting was anxious, she look so thin. This is dangerous for her and for her babies health. She never leave her room. Ayaw niya rin mahawaan ang hari. The king leave to find the best herbalist on the kingdom to heal her. She's the King's favorite and that causes an extreme jealousy to the other concubines.
The king love them equally but he only chooses one to become his Queen only if they bare him a son.

The odor didn't slipped away and it's irritating my nose. I turn my face to the corner and the someone scolded me. But I requested something and pointed the flower that were brought earlier.

"What about it?" The man asked, he looks like one of this concubines eunuch.

"May I?" He let me see the flower and tasted it. "this flower is poisonous" I said and the people inside laugh. I remain calm but the Lady were the only one believe me"You wouldn't believe me because I was just a mere servant, but I'm an assistant of a royal herbalist and I studied this types of plants, and this over here, we're the cause of your illness my lady" the lady turn her face to her Eunuch and the doctor survey the plants.

"That's my lady's favorite flower" She said.

"That type of plant is bad for her baby"

"I've been around in this palace than you, so don't question everything around her...." she stop when lady shen shook her head and not to interfere.

I patiently waited for the result and turns out I'm right. Her ladies-in-waiting puff their cheeks and couldn't make eye contacts with me.

Now who's laughing now. I smirk at them. And they thought I was that stupid. I felt pity because some of the servant here doesn't know how to read. Those knowledge and education are only applied to someone born nobility. That was unfair because human live being arrogant and doesn't know the risks and hazzards around.

"If you are an actual herbalist, why didn't you tell them?" Said lady shen, her voice were soft and gentle and her ladies assisted her to sat up. "I made my decision, I'll promote you as my new attendant, ladies treat her fairly her position is much higher than you, that man is not to blame I asked for this plants"

I was promoted and the feeling was sky rocket. I'm going to enjoy my moment here before we go back home. The Eunuch escort me back. And I saw Aldanard organizing the herbs.

"What are you doing in here?" I asked him with a bitter snort.

"I was promoted to guard this room"

"Shit"

"And that was a lucky day for me, watching you working"

I never been so furious in my entire life, I though Luna Quartz is the only child that split my nerves yet this man has that bullshit attitude, twice than her. But having him around keeps me company.
