Someone knocked on the door and I asked who it was and found out it was Jumanah, so I told her to come in, my lady, you're finally awake,i was worried when the news got to me.
You don't have to worry about me, am ok i said yes my lady she replied.
Xavier came out of the bathroom and said he was setting out for some horse riding, and I said okay.
IN THE XYLEM KINGDOM
THRONE ROOM
Your highness, I beg your pardon for disturbing your meeting but Crowned prince Xavier is here to see you, let him in he said.
Greetings prince Xavier, what brings you here if i may ask,he said as i took my seat beside him,hn am here for Reema, Princess Adeeva's personal maid while she was here.
Am sorry prince, but you know the rules are,we can't let any slave go, except for a reasonable price,.
that's why I came here prepared.
Fahd!, I called, yes your highness, bring in the coin bags, yes sir he replied.
IN THE PALACE
Jumanah! i called, yes my lady, take me to the garden, ok my lady.
She helped me walk through the palace to the garden and when we got to the main area, someone unpleasant came to me and said,oh wow, so your plan all along is to enter this palace and stage something for attention,. I don't understand aunt Farrah please explain.
Oh please, stop acting like you know nothing all of a sudden, isn't it obvious you decided to stage a heart problem, so you can get care and attention and slowly, they'll do anything you ask them,hmn, she scoffed,such a slot, and an insolent backbiter.
I don't know or care how you made your way to the palace, but I assure you, that position you assume would soon be for my daughter,she hissed and walked away.
What was that about i said, and Jumanah just warned me to stay away from her because she might cause a lot of problems for me in the future.
We got into the garden and I sat on a chair there, and i started thinking about Salim for no reason, thoughts like,is he okay?, where did he go to?, when is he coming back?,is he with his mistress or not?, I tried shaking these thoughts of but they won't stop coming.
I needed some personal space so I asked Jumanah to get me water.
