Irkal watched as Xisuthra left the room. She quickly closed off the quarters of the princess and left the environment. She had always been uncomfortable with how free the princess had been. For most of the princess's life, she had always made a point of duty to eat untasted food. Neither the emperor nor the empress was aware that the princess was eating food without anyone tasting it. Bringing it up now was not good for anyone. Irkal was unaware of the plan of the Emperor but she trusted him as a good leader who made the tough decision when necessary. Irkal takes the remaining food from what the princess had eaten and made her way out of the palace. If she used the chickens in the palace and they indeed die because there was poison inside then the palace would be in uproar from detecting the poison and trying to find out where it came from. She was going to buy some chickens and take them to her father's house, feed the chickens the food, and wait for the result before reporting t

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

'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

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

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
