It was a speculation in my heart and all of a sudden it had taken root. I shook the thought away as I headed straight to the clinic. I was finally starting at the clinic and I was excited for everything I would learn and do, everything that I would be there. It felt like I finally somewhat had a purpose. I wasn’t just slaving myself away here.I kept walking towards the clinic and when I arrived, I stared at the front, remembering the first two times I came by and for the first time, I was coming solely for myself. I easily found my way in. Masoma and her other clinic attendants were already working by the time I arrived and she immediately left them and came to me.“You are late” she said and I winced.“I’m sorry. I’ll be earlier” I replied and Masoma nodded.“It’s not a big deal. You can inform me if your chores are a lot and you are going to be late” she replied and I nodded.“Thank you” I said softly.“So it’s your first day and I’ll ask someone to take you around later. You alrea

I stared into space thinking about Juniper's words, “She killed herself?” I whispered and Juniper nodded. “Yes. The whole kingdom was thrown into turmoil. Our King and Queen had departed just like that” he continued explaining while I just listened.“I thought your people didn’t like the Queen?” I asked and Juniper laughed.“Not at all. The council of elders had an elder who had a daughter who wanted to marry the king so he was bitter and besides it was against the laws of the kingdom but King Avery? He bent the law for her and Queen Tera was a beautiful Queen. She was kind and thoughtful and we all love her. Our people loved the King and Queen because in every way, they were amazing and they were kind. They loved us and we loved them in return” he replied as my eyes softened.“So imagine the kingdom when they both died, a little more than one week to each other” Juniper continued softly.“The whole kingdom was thrown into the morning, we couldn’t understand it. When the king died, p

I quickly packed my tools out of the room and took a glance at Jonathan. He had a blank face and an unreadable expression and I tried to think or guess about what could have gone wrong but he didn’t look like he wanted to talk.“Lock the door and take the key with you” he said in a soft voice and I glanced at him and nodded as I locked the door.“You can leave” he said as he climbed into the bed and closed his eyes. I stared at him wondering what was going on. He slowly opened his eyes and turned to me.“Do you need something?” He asked and I opened my mouth to speak and I shook my head at the end.“Nothing of such your Highness. Please rest well, I’ll prevent anyone from disturbing you” I replied as I grabbed my tools and walked out the room closing the door on my way out.I walked out of the room, my back covered in sweat. The footsteps had made me jump in fright and I was scared that Jonathan would see me. I didn’t know why I had hidden the journal back and then I secretly hoped th

I watched Jonathan exit the room and I walked towards the store, standing in front of the door not knowing what to do. I was feeling apprehensive whether to open the door or not. I had almost asked Jonathan what was behind the door and I had stopped myself. If he wouldn’t tell me what the store and I found out on my own, I didn’t think he was going to like it so a better option was to keep quiet and allow him to tell him myself but I have a feeling that If i stepped into the room it was going to be obvious that the room belonged to is mother.I sucked in my breadth and backed away from the door staring at the door. I dangled the rusted keys in my hand, swallowing hard. I had no idea when last they cleaned the room, if it would be dirty or how it was going to look like. Jonathan had gone for a council meeting so I knew that he was going to take a long time before he came back but something also told me that he had intentionally found an excuse to leave the room because I was going to c

A lot of questions swirled in my head as I approached Jonathan’s room, I didn’t know where to start from, I didn’t know what to ask. Serena's words from the day before were yet to leave me. It was hard to believe that Jonathan had actually asked me to clean his mother’s store.Why? Was he hoping to torture me? Why would he want me to clean the store?I didn’t tell Serena that Jonathan had asked me to clean the store, I didn’t know what her reaction would be like, I didn’t even know how I was feeling either.I pushed the room door open and stepped inside, “Good morning Your Highness” I greeted him and Jonathan merely nodded at me, his face blank. My stomach churned at the look on his face, it told me that he was in a bad mood and insanity knew that I had to be careful myself. I couldn’t afford getting into his bad books anytime soon.I immediately washed my hands and walked towards the table, bringing out everything I needed to change his bandage and his herbs.“Masoma said you will be

“You sent him over” Serena complained but I doubted she was complaining. A small smile crawled up my face as I shrugged.“Are you complaining that I did?” I asked and Serena immediately shook her head, “Not at all” she replied chuckling.“When I saw him what did you expect me to do? You've been sulking for the past few days now, so of course I had to ask him to do some explanation but I figured out that it was also going to be better for me to do the explanation in person” I added and Serena chuckled.“Alright, alright” She replied and I nodded, feeling affected by Serena’s bustling mood.“So what did he say?” I asked and Serena sighed, getting serious.“The war aftermath was serious, the council of elders are throwing a fit, they are attributing the win as a loss because of the way things turned out and now they are implementing more strategies against wars and everything” Serena replied and I leaned on my back.“What strategies, this is a rogue kingdom, independent of every kingdom
