In a few minutes, the chicken was falling dead on the floor like they were not just lying all over the place a few seconds ago. "Just as I suspected. The Princess had been very healthy so for her to suddenly throw up...." Irkal said her sentence trailing off at the end. "How do I get to tell the Emperor about this without offending him?" Xisuthra said contemplating. He had also suspected that the princess was killed but who would dare kill the princess and sabotage the chance of peace in the kingdom? "We better get back to the palace," Xisuthra said turning on his feet. Irkal followed suit. Soon they were all at the palace. Xisuthra waited till the night fell and everywhere was quiet before he moved the princess to the prepared carriage. The strange woman was yet to wake up. Xisuthra and Irkal successfully moved the dead princess to the secondary palace. At the secondary palace, the body of the princess was cleaned with a substance that would not allow for decay. It would be tab
Una opens her eyes and stares at the ceiling above her. The ceiling shone with the gold used to line the edges of the calling. There were some intricate drawings on the ceiling. This was not something she had been to before. The last she knew was of her being transported to the hospital. This was not the hospital. She heard a voice speaking. The princess? The empress? Where was she now? Had she died and made it to the afterlife? Was she now going to rot in hell for all the killings she did? 'Well God I on my killed the bad guys' she thought within her. Surely she would not be punished for punishing evil. She heard the door close before she stood up. The room was vast enough for a two-bedroom apartment in the small corner of town. Her room was big too but this was outrageous. The small-looking girl was backing her with her head resting on the door. She took a small sigh and turned back only to be startled by the exact look-alike of the princess finally awake. Irkal did not know the
"Got here? Who brought me here,?" Una asked confused. She wished the girl would stop talking all formal and tell her what exactly was going on. Did Collin bring her and leave her here? "Where is Collin?" she asked and the girl seemed confused. "How did I get here?" Una asked. "The Emperor's bodyguard saw you laying down there," Irkal said pointing to the spot where she was seen. "So you mean I just appeared out of nowhere?" Una asked. "Yes, it was like someone dropped you there but the door was locked and we can't find any true of an external person" Irkal explained. "No way, "Una said smiling. "Okay, I give up. You got solid actors and a good game plan. I agree that you have been able to successfully prank me" She added. Irkal wondered what gibberish she was talking about. Maybe she wasn't right in the head. "Who put you up to this" Una said walking cautiously towards the girl. If she wanted to she could snap the girl's neck without any thought but that would do her no good.
'Middle ages?' Una screamed internally. Why would this little girl say Lauds except this was the middle ages or a bad dream that she was going to wake up from soon? She would wake up at the hospital and see Collin and every other person. Her gunshot wound would have been healed. 'Wait my gunshot wound?' she thought to herself. "Who treated my gunshot wound? " Una found herself saying out loud. "What is a gunshot wound?" Irkal asked. "You don't know what a gunshot wound is?" Una asked perplexed. "Am I perhaps having a bad dream?" Una asked out loud. Irkal shook her head. She has heard enough gibberish for a whole year. "Wait where is my mobile phone?" Una said her hand going to the pocket of her trousers and then to her shirt. She then realizes that her clothes had been changed from what she was wearing previously to a nightgown. "Who changed my clothes?" Una asked. Irkal sat down on the ground near the door. She was not going to answer any more questions. She would give the
Una had studied the medieval era very well but she had never for once come across the kingdom of Slosalia. It was strange to her. This was probably a bad dream and she was sure she would get over it once she sleeps it over so she climbs into bed and covers herself up with the warm blanket. Before she could tell herself to go to bed she fell into a deep slumber. "Your highest" Irkal said. She had fallen asleep shortly after she saw Una finally go to bed. She has for a moment forgotten that the princess she served was no longer a part of the living world but now dead. Una stretched in the bed as she wiggled her legs. Irkal had gone to inform Xisuthra about Una and how she reacted. Xisuthra informed the Emperor who was going to come see her immediately after the morning readings. "Una, you need to wake up now," Irkal said correcting herself. She moved to the bedside and tapped Ina gently on the arm. Una stood up and rubbed her eyes gently. She had been awake for a while now but re
Soon Una was dressed in elaborate cotton and adornment. The headpiece given to her was heavy that it was making her neck crack. The girls began to put on makeup for her. She did not like the way the powder tickled her face but she might as well cooperate with them if she wanted out from this place. Someone here would surely have answers to why she appeared in this timeline and how she can easily leave this place before she affects anything in the future. "Irkal, do I need to wear this?" Una asked tilting her head to the left. "Yes," Irkal answered without turning to face her. "You did not even look to see what I was talking about," Una said frowning. She could get the vibe from Irkal that she did not like her. Was it because of her many questions? Of course, Irkal would not understand. Imagine being pulled out from your family and thrown into a world that doesn't have your technology and that you can barely recognize you would ask questions. One only asks questions because they
The Emperor's question did not make sense to Una. How could he be asking about the year she came from? Did it make sense that he would ask her that? How did he know she was not from this era? She could be a spy for all he knows. Does he probably know something about what was going on with him? She knew that she did not have much of an option as she did not know how to live in this newly found place. "How do you know that I am not of this era?" Una asked. "The stars already predicted that we would have a strange visitor and your clothes are not anything like we have seen recently. We have had envoys from various parts of the world visit us but I haven't seen anyone wear such clothes" Asalan said. "That is a pretty deep analysis" Una replied. Yes, she was from 2022 and everything happening to her did not make sense. If one could truly travel through time then why haven't the scientist discovered it yet? The technology in her era was top-notch. How could those in the fifteen century
It made sense that the Emperor to her would want her to do something for him. She was not from their world she would be the best candidate to carry out a shady plan and never get caught for it. But something about the way he said it did not sit right with her. "I need you to do something for me," Asalan said again when he got no response. He was running out of time. He knew that any moment now the Empress could burst in there. She had visited him this early morning to tell him that it seemed like the princess was sick and her maid was hiding her. "Wh...a...t is it?" Una stammered. She did not like his tone and her guts rarely betrayed her. She followed her guts when she embarked on important missions and they never failed her before. "The princess died yesterday" Asalan starts as he moves towards the bed to take his seat. Una was well aware of a situation like this. Bad guys usually used situations like this to emotionally manipulate those they wanted to deal with. Was the Emper
