CHAPTER 32
Miryang town**
Ginelle searched with her eyes for any sign of Brayden in the marketplace maybe he’ll be there, telling stories as usual but there seems to be no sign of him
She stopped and her arms went akimbo
“He’s not narrating stories today?” She wondered, feeling sad
She suddenly wants to see him again
She turned to go but saw him behind her
“You scared me!” She said, holding her chest
“Sorry, were you looking for me?” He asked
“Stop the cockiness, who’ll look for you” she said, making serious faces
” Ok, them I’ll take my leave” he said and started leaving
*That rascal” she muttered and blocked his way
” I have something to ask you” she lied
” So…
“Don’t go” she replied and Brayden smiled
He took her hand and led her to the base of a peach tree
They sat and she started thinking of what to ask
“So what do you have to ask?” He asked
“Em….the….
” The what?”
“I… dunno” she said
“You mean you suddenly forgot?, Is your brain in a good shape?” He replied and she hit him hard
” Ouch!, That hurts!” He said, rubbing the spot..
“I once heard you saying the story about the flower goddess is not to be told now, so….can you tell me about it?” She asked
” Flower goddess Petal….. I’m not gonna tell you now, but I promise to tell you later” he said
” Is the story a long one?” She asked
“I can’t put it that way, let’s just say it’s… powerful, I almost got possessed with the book I got it from” he said
” Really?, Possessed?”
” It’s ok, I’ll tell you someday ok?” He said and she nodded
He drew closer and lay on the ground then placed his head on her laps
“Hey!, I told you I’m expensive!” She said
“How much for a peaceful sleep on your laps like this?” He asked, closing his eyes
He looks peaceful and so adorable with his eyes closed
Words got stuck in her throat as she stared
Soon, he slept off.

Royal palace, Suzy’s room**
“The wound is not very deep, the sword didn’t penetrate much” the physician said after examining Suzy who’s lying unconscious on her bed
“I’m glad” Sera said
“I’ve treated the wound and I’ll always be here to redress it, she’ll wake up soon though, I’ll take my leave” the physician said and left
” Wake up soon Suzy, mother loves you so much” Sera said slowly
Cory knocked before walking slowly into the room
“I’m sorry I know I shouldn’t be here but I just wanted to check on her since she took it for me” he said
” It’s ok, though I still don’t understand why she did that” Sera replied
” Is she getting better?” Royalty asked, entering the room too
” Yes, the physician said she’ll wake up soon and thankfully her wound is not a deep one” Rachel replied
Royalty nodded and looked at Cory, immediately their eyes met, Cory looked away.

Queen Rachel’s room**
Rachel is busy pacing around her room restlessly, unable to stop as she did
She sat on her bed and stood again then continued pacing
“Sera knows?, What dirty secret was she talking about?, What is it?” She wondered as she paced
She stopped pacing and picked her magic fan, deciding to summon lioness but she stopped herself
“No it seems I’ll have to take care of this in my own way” she thought, getting a small bottle from a drawer
She smiled as she stared at the bottle, turning round without stopping
“If a drop of this mixes with her food, it’s a straight call to he.ll” she said and laughed wickedly.

Cal’s room**
He sat quietly but deep inside him, he’s restless, his fist is folded on the table and he later got two big dices which he rolled about in his palm
“His majesty told me to emulate Jimin?” He said and smiled but it quickly disappeared
” Why!, Why must it always be him!, Just why!, Why is father treating me like his slave!” He screamed, breathing heavily
” Jimin Jung, your death day is drawing near and near, I won’t just sit and watch anymore, your existence is making me feel uncomfortable, you need to be evacuated from the world!” He screamed
” Your highness” Darrin’s voice said by the door
“Get your annoying face in” Cal replied and he came in
“I just saw prince Jimin coming into the palace with that maid right now with the horse” he reported
” I knew it, Jimin is having an affair with that maid, father detests that so much so if I just report that and let them get caught, Jimin will lose his place in father’s heart, that’s just sure” Cal said, smiling largely .
