Madison’s POV


    Mona and I were still discussing when the doorknob clicked open. We quickly sprang to our feet even if it was difficult for me.This content belongs to N?/velDra/ma.Org .


    To my greatest surprise, it was no other person than Emery. She walked majestically into the room with her maid Maria following her like a puppy following its mother. My heart skipped a beat the moment I saw her.


    Emery started at me with loathing eyes. If the eyes could kill, I could swear she would have killed me with the kind of stares I was getting from her.


    “Good day Emery. What… What are you doing here?” I spoke with a shaky voice because I know that her presence doesn’t mean good for me.


    “What did you just say? You good-for-nothing ve, did you just ask me what I’m doing here?” Shended a dirty p on my cheek. I held my cheek staring at her with narrowed eyes.


    “What do you want Emery? Are you going to punish her again? What has she done to you this time that youe looking for her?” Mona spoke up ring hard at her.


    “And who told you are allowed to speak Mona. Just because we were friends when I was asleep doesn’t mean that you’d talk to me anyhow you like. I’m no longer amon ve just like you, I’m the Master’s favorite. I’m sure you know very well what that means after all you’ve been here all your life” Emery scoffed, and Mona clenched her fist trying to hold herself back from hitting Emery.


    “I’m sorry for the question I asked you. But I just really want to know why you came to see a poor ve like me. Is there anything that you want me to do for you?” I spoke calmly, and Emery red at me.


    “Something I want you to do for me? What can you possibly do for me that I can’t get other people to do? I just want an honest answer from you, what were you doing at the master’s Chambersst night?” She lowered her voice to ask.


    “I was summoned by the Master. Why do I need to tell you why I went to his Chambers?” I snorted, and she grabbed my hair.


    “Emery, I can no longer be at the humiliation you’re giving my friend. I’ve had it up to here, and if you don’t want yourself getting punished, you’d let go of her right now” Mona pushed her hand off, and I staggered closer to Mona. Of course, I don’t even have the slightest energy to exchange words with her.


    “If you don’t want to incur my wrath, then follow me” Emery turned to leave, and my heart sank immediately.


    “Where… Where are you taking me to?” I was forced to ask her the question. No one answered me.


    “I just want to take you to a ce where you get the proper rounds you need as a ve that you are. I heard you had a round with the master, and I also heard it wasn’t the main round you should get” Emeryughed coldly, and I gulped hard.


    “Who made you the judge here Emery? Have you forgotten that you were once a ve just like every one of us, that you became the Master’s favorite doesn’t give you the right to boss everyone around” Mona stood up to her, and that angered Emery the more.


    “Shut up Mona. Keep your disgusting hole of a mouth shut, and mind your own business. This isn’t any of your business, and just because you don’t have work at the field doesn’t mean you have to pass your time away gossiping. You can make yourself useful by doing other chores” Emery smirked at her.


    I was getting nervous the more because I’ve heard of what happened to the other ves who tried to disobey the master’s favorite ve Emery.


    “I don’t want to repeat myself again Madison. If you want the peace of everyone, I advise you to follow me immediately” Emery turned to leave, and I stepped out a foot to follow her, but Mona grabbed my wrist, and Drew me back.


    “Mona? What’s the meaning of that?” Emery raised her hand to p Mona’s cheek when a voice interrupted.


    “What is going on here?” The feminine but croaky voice froze everyone in the room. Do you need anyone to tell you who it was?


    Lady Delia’s POV


    The medicine man sat on the bare ground while I sat on the little stool in front of him looking very unhappy.


    “Are you trying to tell me that there has not been any improvement ever since I gave you thest medicine?” He asked, and I exhaled deeply.


    “To be honest with you Mr Bahu, I’m very tired of this whole thing. I’ve beening here for the past 2 months since I was directed here by someone, but there has not been any improvement even if I kept on giving her the medicine. It feels like I wasn’t giving her anything” I started with a troubled voice.


    “Your case is very severe Delia. I know how many people who this very medicine that I’ve given you had worked for. I find it very surprising to know that you didn’t get any improvement after giving her this powerful concoction” He took a deep breath showing he was confused himself.


    “What do you suggest I do Mr Bahu? Do you know anyone else who can help me out? I just need a medicine that will improve her. I need to return the happiness in the Castle, because there’s no way the happiness will return when she’s still in that state” I sobbed.


    “Alright. Take this medicine, you can give it to her. I’m sure it will work this time because this is a very rare medicine, and I hardly give it to my customers. I hope it will work on her” He handed the bottle to me, and I dropped a huge wrap of money on the mat in front of him before leaving….
