#Chapter10

"Oh my Goddesses! What happen?" Sky could see how horrified Shahara looked upon seeing her bleeding lips. Shahara quickly grabs some towels and gently put in under Sky's chin to stop her from making a mess, she examined Sky's lips. Her lower lip has a deep and long gash. She thinks she needs to stitch it.

"Who did this to you?" She asked again, but Sky only sobs and sobs. Shahara didn't know what to do, so she made her sit and she grab some needle. But upon seeing the needle Sky shakes her head.

"We need to, it won't stop bleeding if we don't do something." She begged her, Sky only shook her head hard. She still in shock by the kiss and her wrist aches like a son of bitch. And when Shahara finally noticed the swelling wrist she gasp.

"Did you fall? Oh my Goddess!" She said standing up. She then went to the door to open it, but before she could grab the door handle, the door burst open and hit her in the face. Shahara groaned.

"Oh my dearest i'm so sorry." Sky saw who opened the door. It's Regent Catherine, she helped Shahara on her feet.

"Why are you in such a hurry dear?" Catherine asked. Then her gaze fell down on Sky. Catherine's nostril flares and she took a long stride towards Sky.

Sky thought that Catherine would roughly hold her too or even bite her, but instead she gently tilt her head up and examined her lips.

"My, my! You are being  clumsy. These are some pretty nasty wounds." She then let go of Sky's face and then she picked something out from the sleeves of her golden dress.

"Look up to me pet." Sky did as what she was told. Catherine then put some oil on her fingers from the small bottle that she had fetched.

"Don't move." She gently dab it on Sky's wounded lips. Sky didn't dare to move but fresh tears did pour out of her eyes because it started to sting. When Catherine was done, she felt a little better.

"Aw!, did that hurt? Wipe those tears away my dear. I don't wanna see it unless i'm the one who's causing it." Sky wiped the tears from her eyes. Then Catherine gently held her swollen wrist and rubs some oil on it. She massage it. At first it really hurts but as minutes went by it lessens, she watched as Catherine massaged her swollen wrist.

"You are getting spoiled." She said to Sky.

"I don't wanna spoil you. But with that face i can't help myself." She then gave Sky a peck on her forehead before taking a step back.

"Be a good puppy. And i might treat you good." Catherine then left. Sky sat there. She watched Shahara sat next down to her. She gently wipes the tears from Sky's eyes.

"Don't be fooled. She's not a good person. She's just probably fooling with you." She said, she felt pity for Sky. The pain and fear in her expression broke Shahara's heart.

"I-i didn't do anything wrong. I was just touching the flowers." Sky explained. She's afraid that maybe the Queen thought she was plucking them.

"I know, shhh...c'mon let's sleep. You must rest. Tomorrow I’ll show you around the castle again, there are still a lot of things you haven't discovered yet." Sky nodded, she lay down and Shahara did the same. She startled Shahara when she suddenly wrap her arms around her.

The next morning when Sky woke up, the pain in her wrist and lips are gone, when she look down at her wrist it was normal again. She then touched her lips and the wound is already gone.

"The Regent healed you." Shahara said, Sky looked up at her. She's now drying her hair.

"Your turn to take a shower. Go now. Breakfast would begin any minute now." Sky nodded and she went over the Bathroom. The tub is already full, after taking a shower, she was ready to go. Shahara and her walked together and Sky kept a firm grip at Shahara's hand when they went pass through the hall with the heads of wolves that were hanging on the wall.

"Why are you so scared of them?" Shahara asked.

"Souls...their souls are still trapped in there, They demand justice, and some of them wanted revenge. It's scary." She admitted, Shahara then looked up to see the heads. They seem harmless.

"Well they are just souls, ghosts. They can't do anything against you." She said then as she tighten her grip too on Sky's hand to assure her.

"Nimpha said that....the Angry souls are capable of bad things." Shahara raised her eyebrow.

"Who is Nympha?"

"Ahm....well she's the old lady at the breeding house. She's the one who took care of me and my sister when we were younger." The two of them entered the great hall. The queen and the Regent was already there. Sky felt scared again. What if the Queen grab her again, or even punish her for touching the flowers and for pushing her away.

She was distracted from her thoughts when Shahara held her hand. She gave her an encouraging smile before she led her to her seat. After they sat the five old men entered again followed by Lysandra.

Lysandra sat next to Sky and gave her a bright smile, she couldn't help but return the smile. She looked up when sir Borington came in last. When they are all seated. The servants started to serve their food. It was just like yesterday. Except it has some weird fluffy yellow thing on it that was rounded. Lysandra must have notice the question in Sky's eyes.

"That is what you called pancakes." She said as she pour some syrup on her pancake.

"It taste even better if you put some honey on it. Here try it." She then pour some on Sky's plate. She didn't hesitate to try and taste it.

"It's....delicious." Sky said as she took another large bite. Lysandra couldn't help but giggle.

"Well i'm very glad you like it. By the way, what are your plans for today?" She asked her. Sky looked at Shahara who only gave her a nod.

"Ummm...Shahara said she and i would tour around the Castle again." Lysandra nods.

"We’ll have you been in the Harem? If you don't mind i could sho-"

"She's not allowed in the Harem." Lena cut off her sister, when Sky looked at her she shivered because of the glare she has on them, well mostly on Lysandra

"Fine." Lysandra answered. Sky continued to eat, just as she was about to finish, the servant gave her another, Sky looked up in confusion because she didn't. Ask for any.

"Eat up, you must became healthy." She looked at Catherine who just spoke, she blushes and says her thanks before eating again. After she was done eating the servant gave her, her milk.

"Shahara, could you give her milk too before she sleeps? She needs it." Sky noticed the change in Catherine's voice, she seems to like Shahara.

"Of course, your majesty." After Sky is done, she and Shahara left.

"She likes you." She said to Shahara who smiled at her.

"I know, but that doesn't change the fact that she's a bitch and a tyrant. And a sadist." Sky tilted her head.

"Do you hate her?" Shahara sighed and shakes her head.

"They were nice to me yes, but that doesn't change the fact that they are Tyrant and thousands of people are suffering under their rule." Shahara replied, after that the two of them silently walk.
