Tanya and any girls were placed in the house of Physician Harim, the greatest physician in Arth. We could say Harim's house is a hospital in the land of Arth. The girls' job is to find medicinal plants in the forest.
In the afternoon when returning from the forest, Tanya saw a small child pounding plants.
"Doti?"
The little girl turned her head and stared, "Sister?"
They immediately embraced and burst into tears. Doti is the only child of the Wahan tribe who survived the hut fire. At first she was about to enter the hut too, but she saw her mother being strangled, so she went to help her mother, although eventually her mother died too and she was caught. Doti is indeed famous for being stubborn. But this time her obstinacy saved her.
"She was going to be placed in a stone refinement. There was hell for children," said one girl.
"This sister helped me, begging those people for me to be employed here," said Doti.
"Thank you," said Tanya.
"I'm Chaeun, Doctor Harim's daughter."
"I'm Tanya from Wahan."
"You all come in, it is getting dark. I have made dinner."
"Miss Chaeun," Tanya asked.
"Just Chaeun."
"Do you know that other slaves from Wahan are placed anywhere?"
"Sorry, I don't know. I heard that some of the slaves who had just arrived from Iark yesterday were sent to Doldambul, the gem mining site and to the shore to make a ship. Some may still be here."
Chaeun saw Tanya hobbling, she examined Tanya's feet.
"Your leg is injured pretty badly. If left untreated, your leg will rot and must be cut."
Chaeun took the medicinal leaves, pressed it on Tanya's leg and bandaged it.
"Thank you."
That night, Tanya dreamed of Eunsom again. She was awake and felt her neck. She just realized that she lost the necklace Eunsom gave her. Tanya cried.
"Eunsom ... I'm sorry ..."
~~~
A few months later, Tanya's leg was completely healed, but it still left scars and sometimes felt aching at night. Working at Doctor Harim's house isn't as hard as anywhere else. Doctor Harim's family treats them very well. Not only picking leaves, now Tanya also learns to mix medicine. She is easy to learn new things. Sometimes she pays attention to Physician Harim and Chaeun when healing patients.
"Help ... Help ..." shouted several people who carried a man.
"What is wrong?" Doctor Harim asked.
"His leg was bitten by a blue scorpion."
Physician Harim opened the patient's shoes. Everyone was surprised.
"The ... the blood is purple ..."
"This is a very rare and dangerous animal. It usually makes the blood turn purple.
Tanya watched carefully as Doctor Harim cleaned the patient's wound. He gouged the wound with a hot knife, then the wound was pressed so that the purple blood came out all so that the blood was red again. The patient was screaming unconscious.
"Oh ... is he dead?" asked one of the people who delivered.
"No, he just fainted. The poison has all come out. Luckily you quickly brought him here. The animal is very dangerous. Chaeun, mixing yuji leaves."
Chaeun invited Tanya to help her. Then the leaves are attached to the wound before dressing. The rest is taken home by the patient.
Shortly afterwards, a voice called out, "Give way to Tagon Niruha ..."
Everyone who was on the road immediately stepped aside. People inside the house come out. All knelt down until their faces touched the ground when King Tagon passed by on a stretcher chair. Tanya also knelt down with Chaeun.
Suddenly there was a grandmother in all-white blocking the road. Gitoha was about to get rid of him, but Tagon let her.
"Isodunyoung spoke to me, that you ... the king who reigns in the blood of Asa descendants, will soon get karma. Everything you hold will be released. Everything you collect will be scattered. And you ... will be torn to shreds. until there is nothing left for the vultures! "
Then the old woman drew a knife and stabbed her own heart. Everyone is scared. Tanya looked away, unable to see it. That was the first time she saw Tagon's face.
~~~
Tonight was exactly five hundred days after the death of Sanung Niruha. Carrying a bottle of liquor, Tagon walked to his father's grave. He is alone without escort. He knelt to salute, then poured wine around the tomb. He remembers his past.
While hunting, Sanung found a child who was lost in the forest. His parents were killed by a lion. Sanung adopted him as a child and was named Danbyok. He became Tagon's adopted brother. In contrast to Tagon's cold personality, Danbyok can easily steal his father's attention. Until finally Tagon heard that Sanung was about to pass down the throne to Danbyok, Tagon was furious. He felt he contributed more to the union of the Society, but he never received any award. So he launched a coup, killed his biological father and also his adopted brother, and those who supported them.
Tagon wept over his father's grave, "Why ... Why did all this have to happen? Why did Dad make me forced to kill your life?"
Without Tagon knowing, there is a figure watching him from the top of the tree. Suddenly the figure swung and stuck a poisonous blade into Tagon's back. Tagon moaned.
"Greetings from the Black Tongue," the man dangled while slipping his black tongue. He came from a mysterious group of cold-blooded killers.
Tagon took his sword and cut the killer's neck. Instantly the killer died. But Tagon is dying too.
--
Yuji leaves out of stock, Tanya was told to take it in the tomb of the magnifying Arth, because the leaves only grow there. That's when she saw a very sinister murder incident.
Tanya approached the man lying on the ground, groaning in pain. Tanya gasp when she realized who it was.
"Tagon?"
Tanya saw blood flowing from Tagon's back, purple.
"Has he got blue scorpion poison?"
Tanya thought about letting Tagon die, which was all she hoped for. But just as she was about to leave, Tagon gripped her feet.
"Please ... save me ..."
"Sorry ... I can't. I only saw a way to cure it but never practiced it. Hm ... I'll call Doctor Harim."
"There's no ... more time. This poison ... will spread ..."
Tanya confusing, what should she do?
"Alright, I'll try. But ... with one condition ..."
"Whatever, except my throne, I will grant."
"How do I know that you will keep it?"
Tagon gives a silver medal, "use this to collect my promise."
Tanya kept the medal, then told Tagon to undress his top. She poured wine into Tagon's wound. She took the dagger stored in Tagon's belt and then heated it using a torch fire. When she wanted to pry into the wound, Tanya's gaze was fixed on Tagon's neck.
"This is a chance ..."
Will Tanya save or even kill Tagon?
