Immediately Master Damien left the chamber, Galene opened her eyes which doesn't look like she was just sleeping.
She sat up and glanced at the door that master Damien just walked out of.
"What is going on?" She asked out loud. Master Damien has been unnecessary kind towards her ever since she woke up from wherever she might have gone to that made her sleep for two whole days.
The way he jerked when she called out his name and the way he rushed to her.
His eyes do not look like he had closed them for the past two days and he looked extremely drained that she could feel it from his eyes.
He isn't the same master she was sold to and she doesn't know the reason behind his change of heart.
"Whatever made him change his heart must be Godsent, I pray such keep existing so he would never have a reason to go back to his formal self" Galene muttered and climbed off the bed.
Since Master Damien has gone for a meeting, she would seize the opport
"How are you son? Be a good boy and take care of your mother, I can't wait to carry you in my hands" wasn't that what master Damien just said?" Galene wondered, her eyes still shut and her heart beating fast.Master Damien had climbed off the bed after saying those words and walked into the bathroom."Could I be pregnant?" Galene asked aloud but quickly shut her mouth and Swiftly opened the door to see the master was no longer in the room.She sighed and decided to think about what she just heard from the master the next day.She breathe out and decided to sleep this time around before the master would return and see through her.Closing her eyes and relaxing her mind, shutting off her thought, Galene drifted off to sleep.Master Damien finished bathing and returned to the room fully dressed in his night robe.He climbed the bed and faced
Sitting before her was an elderly man who looked exactly like her husband though the older version.Who could this man be and what was he doing sitting in front of her.Could he be the one staring at her all this while?" She thought."Who are you and what can I do for you?" Galene asked the older man."Who I am, you shouldn't know for now but what you can do for me or rather what I can do for you, you should be concerned about."Here, if you want to know why I look so much like your husband and the things I have to stay, meet me there and do not tell your husband about this," he said and passed a piece of paper to her then hurriedly stood up and left, disappearing amidst the crowd.Galene stared down at the piece of paper on the table, a strange address was written on the paper.What the man said rang back in her ears. "Why did he looks l
Galene squinted her eyes and a bright light shone right into her eyes that she had to close them back.Blinking her eyes and adjusting then to the light, she gently opened her eyes.The window was widely opened, no wonder the light was much.She stared at the room and noticed she was in Diana's room. What was she doing here? She asked herself as she sat up on the bed.She remembered being in her husband's chambers and then the priest and physician- the memory rang in her head and she shut her eyes tight.Her husband! They said her husband was poisoned by the arrow and he would not be able to wake on time" she muttered what the physician said and tears dropped from her eyes.She looked around the room and thankfully, Diana was not around neither was Luciana nor Mariam around.She guessed they must have gone out to do their different duties
It was late in the night when Galene finished cleaning the stable. She was exhausted from working for hours without food or water.The guards came to check on her every hour to make sure she does the work and whenever they caught her resting, they would hit her face.She had been working non-stop without rest and now that she was finally done, her breath was almost leaving her.She sat down on a stone and awaited the arrival of the guard who came to check on her.It has already been an hour since he last came and she mustn't Leave the stable if he didn't approve of her w
Galene was dumbstruck, she would never in a thousand years doubt Mariam's friendship.If at all she was supposed to doubt someone among the three of them, I would have been luciana because she has always acted distance and talks as though she doesn't like like.Maria was the least person she would ever believe would plan to harm her.Tears streamed down her eyes. She never knew those they call friends were the ones stabbing their backs."How could they shoot her husband with a deadly arrow and take over the clan by manipulating the council leader," Galene thought, whimpering."How could people be so pretentious that you would never in a million year Know they are plotting against you" Galene muttered aloud.Mariam laughed out loud, shaking her head in a mocking pity, "you should never trust anyone not even yourself because you migh
The next morning, Galene woke up and stared out of the window, the sun was out already and she needs to get out and look for what to do before they would barge in here to yell at her.She wasn't free anymore and to avoid punishments, she has to wake up on time.The room was empty and she figured out her friends had gone for their various duties.Walking into the bathroom, she stripped off her cloth and began brushing her teeth with the chewing stick she guessed Diana must have kept for her.Bathing water was also kept in a bucket for her. She smiled, thanking her gods for giving her such friends like Diana and Luciana.She finished brushing her teeth and scooped water from the bucket of water, rinsed her teeth thoroughly, and spit out the water.She took the sponge and applied a black soap to it, rubbed it thoroughly to produce foams then she started scrubbing her body with it.She soon finished scrubbing and rinsing her body than dri
Two weeks later...Galene woke up to commotion in the castle. There were noises everywhere and it was just as if a market was going on in the castle.She gently rose from the bed, glance at her side to see Diana still sleeping. Luciana was out of her bed already.She stood up and tapped Diana till she also got up. Diana stretched herself yawning."What happened Galene," Diana asked with a sleepy voice."I do not have an idea, can you hear the voices outside?" Galene questioned and Diana's eyes dilated."What could be going on?" Diana thought and properly stood up, wore her footwear, and signaled on Galene to follow her."We should go check out" Said Diana as she began walking out of the room.They got outside and guards could be seen loitering around the hallway.Every one of them seemed to
Two months later...Master Robin sat on a chair writing on a scroll. His eyes were fixated on the scroll as he constantly dip the feather into the ink pad.The door opened and Mariam walked in. Master Robin looked up and sighed seeing who it was.He knew what she came to do again. Disturb and query him about his promise, something she had constantly done for the past two months.He took his eye back to the scroll ignoring her present.Mariam furiously Walked towards him, drops of tears visible in her eyes.She got to his front and began wailing loudly, her painted cheek getting stained with her tears."This woman!" Master Robin mentally yelled in frustration. He hated the fact that he cannot cast her out just yet.He still needs to be sure Damien is dead or at least get Galene to become his.&
