Episode 32
Healer’s Pov:
I was trying to tidy up things in my chambers when a knock came up on my door.
“Who’s there?” I asked but got no reply.
I took some black powder and went to check it out. I opened the door, and it was a woman.
No, not a stranger.
She was here a while ago.
Yes, the Queen had brought her here with her daughter for a test.
“Good evening, great healer,” she greeted with a bow.
“Yes, evening. What may I do for you?” I asked, taking a good look at her from head to toe.
“Actually, I want us to discuss something very important, and I’d really appreciate it if you give me your audience,” she said calmly with a smile, and I puzzled over it.
What could she possibly want?
“Okay, come in,” I said and opened the door for her, and she followed me in.

Healer’s Perspective:
“You can sit,” I offered, and she took a seat on the bed.
“Thank you,” she said with a smile, and I sat down facing her.
For a moment, silence enveloped the room.
“Okay. So, if you don’t mind, I’m busy and would love to get back to work. Please tell me why you’re here,” I urged her, and she smiled.
“Great healer,” she adjusted herself. “I came to give you a little gift.”
She smiled as she unwrapped her fabric and revealed a bundle of cash, placing it in front of me.
“Please, great healer, accept this from me,” she said soothingly, and I stared silently at it.
“A gift?” I asked, without touching it.
“Yes, as a token of appreciation for the wonderful work you’ve been doing. And… I want you to know that you can receive more once my daughter becomes Queen,” she said, leaving me confused.
“Your daughter?” I asked, puzzled.
“Yes, great healer. All I ask is for you to make the test results positive.
I promise you won’t lack anything,” she said, leaving me bewildered.
“You mean your daughter’s pregnancy is not for the prince?” I inquired.
“Well… great healer, my daughter had intimate relations with the prince, but unfortunately, someone else’s sperm was faster than the prince’s.
So, it’s practically the same. The prince also had relations with her, and the baby partially belongs to him,” she explained.
I looked at her, fighting the urge to laugh.
“Partially?” I scoffed.
“Yes, healer.”
“I really want this to happen. Please, make it possible. It won’t cost you anything, and you’ll gain more. And… I’ll ensure your secret remains safe with me,” she said, raising my curiosity.
“What secret?” I asked, and she smiled.
“The secret of your past attempt to po.ison the Queen,” she replied, and I flinched.
How did she know that story?
“What are you talking about? That was in the past. It was a mistake. I don’t harbor any ill intentions towards the Queen anymore,” I told her.
“Yes, but the Queen might not see it that way. Think about it carefully, great healer.
If you help me, you have nothing to lose and much to gain.
If you choose to be against me, then you’ll lose everything,” she calmly threatened, leaving me stunned.
“Are you trying to blackmail or bribe me?” I asked, and she laughed.
“Great healer, I’m merely presenting you with two choices—one heavier and the other lighter. I only want the best for everyone.”
She smoothed her dress and left the room.

Zoey’s Perspective:
I sniffled as I took the glass of water from Zosar and gulped it down.
I sat on the bed, trying to hold back tears after the pain had subsided.
“Do you need anything else?” Zosar asked, and I shook my head.
He sighed and sat beside me.
“Zoey,” he called after a brief pause. “What do you think about this? You can’t endure these pains.
It’s too early to experience such difficulties before delivery.”
I sniffed and looked down at the glass in my hand.
“I know,” I said softly. “But what can I do? I don’t have a choice.”
He shook his head, and we remained silent for a while.
“I’m sorry – sorry you had to go through these difficulties because of my baby.
I hope you can forgive me,” he spoke gently, and I just smiled.
“Would you mind going out with me? I mean… just to explore the city?” He asked, and I looked at him.
Huh?
“You… want us to go out?” I asked, surprised.
“Yeah – maybe get some ice cream and enjoy some fresh air. What do you think?”
I lowered my head and bit my lip. That sounded more like a date.
“O… Okay… sure. I’m free,” I replied, and he smiled and stood up.
