Glen and Dialton were waiting by the sala. After a few moments, Rudevich went outside from the lady's room. Both stood up from their seats at the same time.
"How is she/the lady?" Both asked him. Rudevich smiled. He cannot tell them what happened inside now, can he? "She is fine. The medicine should work any minute now." Hearing his statement made the two sank back to their chairs. Melody who was in the kitchen, walked towards him too.
"Is it true, my lord?! If it is, I am very thankful! Thank you for saving my lady!" Melody said as she clasped her hands together and looking at Suvvell with a different light.
"So, how did you know that she was in a pinch?" Glen asked immediately. This question made Dialton and Melody looked at Rudevich, anticipating for his answer as well. Rudevich felt a little pressure.
"Um...the letters...they were given to me..." Rudevich mumbled ever so softly that Melody almsot did not hear. Unfortunately, Melody heard every word he said.
"Dorothy gave you the letters?????" Melody shrieked but immediately closed her mouth with her hands since she was scared that she might wake up Ortezca.
Suvvell nodded.
"Duke Suvvell... I am handing these letters to you, so that you'll know what exactly is going on with lady Ortezca. And..please send this vial for me. I heard that the lady is in danger, and Melody is asking me to buy her this. I dont know where it is used though...make haste, Duke Suvvell," Dorothy said. Without saying anything, Rudevich went back to his horse and went straight to his mansion. He ignored his butler and went straight to his study room. There, once locking the door behind him, he began reading the letters one by one.
Dear Dorothy;
It has been two days since I wrote to you like this. How have you been? I am sorry if I just happened to write now..since something happened to us. The carriage that was supposed to send us to the town of Ellosk had fell to a small cliff. We had managed to survive the fall, but my lady was severely injured. We are now in the middle of nowhere, with my lady still unconscious. I hope we survive this. Pray for us Dorothy. Take care.
Melody
Dear Dorothy;
It has been a week. How are you Dorothy? My lady and I decided to live just by the hill on top of a mountain. I can still see the kingdom, but its only a dot. We are really apart from each other. Anyways, guess what? My lady built herself a house! Good heavens! A house! She somehow pushed all the trees that are easy to knock down, and removed some branches to make the log. The house is halfway complete. It looks more like a cabin now without a roof. We have been eating well by gathering fruits from the forest. Do not worry Dorothy, we will be fine.
Melody
Dear Dorothy;
My lady just came up with a very ridiculous idea. She is going to build a fief? She cannot even make a small village, she wants a fief? we just fended ourselves from the wolves passing by when we looked for food in the forest. My lady really was so so cool! She took a long sturdy stick, made the end sharper and then killed off three wolves! She got bitten though on her thigh. Glen is currently with us now, making medicine for lady Ortezca and Dialton is building a barn. Do not worry Dorothy, lady Ortezca will be fine.
Melody
Dear Dorothy;
Could you believe that! My lady had somehow made a small village- more like a refugee camp for those villagers that got their town ransacked by bandits... and she can bake now... to think that my lady can bake now... the crops here are getting better and better each day. Among the lady had discovered, i might say i liked cacao and coffee beans the best. I hope i can send you some, but Elliot the pigeon can only bring a small piece of paper. Take care Dorothy, Do not worry about us.
Melody
Dear Dorothy;
Help me Dorothy, my lady is in danger. Please send me the vial containing these herbs: foxglove and rosy periwinkle. If you can not, just ask the apothecary for it. I need it Dorothy. Please.
Melody
'I need to go. I need to see her for myself,' Duke Suvvell ran out of his mansion and with a carriage, he sped off to the capital's well known and trusted apothecary and bought the said vial.
