Goblin's Hollow 4 The Vampire's Quest

Chapter 22

                                    "Sorry miss, I know you've been swamped with creatures needing help, so I brought a pot of coffee." Amberosia informed her, then paused for about two minutes. 

"If you'd like to have coffee alone, I'll understand." The girl replied.

Ralvania looked at the girl and leaned forward, then gave her a wink. 

"Sit down child, have a cup with me." The empress invited, sensing how much the girl looked forward to it. 

"What did you think of it today? What i do here." The empress asked pouring fresh mugs for the both of them. 

Amberosia accepted the cup of hot liquid and set it down to cool off and looked at the empress for a minute.

"Did I do okay?" She asked in a nervous tone.

The empress glanced at her and took a sip of the drink. Then slowly setting it down, she answered the girl.

"Yes you did great, better than I thought you'd do. What did you think of it, running ramped helping others left and right?" She asked draining more liquid and leaning back in her favored chair.

"It's strange I thought I'd be worried or nervous but I felt joy. Especially when we found out the demon was expecting."  The apprentice replied gulping down her own drink. 

"How did you know?" The empress asked her, overly curious.

"I had a gut feeling so I made her a magical herbal tea to reveal secrets." Amberosia replied.

Ralvania's eyes widened and she nearly spit out her coffee.

   "Empress what's the matter?" She asked with worry in her voice.

"Oh no no dear nothing's wrong. I know what magical area you will thrive in, that's all." She informed the girl, as she moved around for comfort.

"Really? What is it?" She asked with excitement in her tone of voice.

"You're best suited for the time being as an herbal sorceress. You seem to have a natural talent for teas, potions and herbal remedies." The empress told her. 

Amberosia gave her a bright smile, happy to be doing well with her apprentice work.
