Who really was she?

Still reining his pair of horses, leading the carriage on the silent street the carriage man felt weird aura around him suddenly for unknown reasons.

He felt intimidated by the mysterious woman travelling with him.

Though he still had his eyes ahead of him on the way but his ears were actively waiting for any reply from the lady sitting on his vehicle.

Which never came.

Certainly she never mentioned her destination either when she decided to take the ride, the carriage man found her in the outskirts holding only wooden briefcase with a golden lock.

Briefcases like such were usually owned or carried by big officials or doctors. It couldn't be a case of first one because he has never seen any big official being a woman...

Or any woman being a big official.

So could it be a doctor? It was quite a matter for the carriage man now as he was getting curious regarding the lady's identity more and more.

"Are you a doctor lady?"

Not wanting to bear the silence for another minute, the carriage man himself threw a guess of his early assumption.

Meanwhile judging by the tone of the carriage man soon, Princess Rosemary guessed his tension well.

Hence being witty enough to manage the situation well in her hands, she decided to work her very first trap for which she was quite prepared already.

Her identity...

"I have practiced ancient medicines in Mesopotamian magic, now I am seeking for a service to benefit the people in need!"

Spelling those words, she sure seemed all unbothered but opposite of her was the carriage man whose ears caught her mention in no time with extreme shock.

His eyes reacted in extreme shock.

And Princess Rosemary noticed the unwell attitude of the carriage man soon as no longer he was riding the carriage being much focused now.

He didn't much concentrate on anything now.

Momentarily judging the situation she knew she was almost close to her victory of fooling the carriage man, when she witnessed the carriage man being mesmerised for a minute or two.

Behind the long veil, Princess Rosemary still had her face protected well. She blankly stared at the carriage man's action knowing well that her words cannot be ignored by him so easily now.

Practicing ancient medicines with Mesopotamian magic...

Ancient sculptures mentioned many inventions in medical fields, from which upmost came the doctors practising ancient medicines.

They were valued the most.

Being ahead of time and science, came Mesopotamian magic skills in ancient medications, people were skilled in such field were believed to practice witchcrafts while treating the patients.

They can even treat a dead with their experience and also control the souls of people while operating them.

Mesopotamian magic was the most difficult and most experienced skill of practice in medical field in young Europe ever seen so easily.

It was the most rarest skill of medicinal magic anyone could ever practice as it included witchcraft.

Princess Rosemary knew correct that her skills in Mesopotamian magic was the rarest among any normal doctor in count, hence she decided to make her experience... her most important weapon in order to accomplish her goal.

It would be her perfect identity undergo her trial.

Princess Rosemary was known to be skilled in medicines and law all around the young Europe before but what none knew was her skills being gifted to her in her early childhood years had an massive influence of Mesopotamian magic.

The skills had a huge part to play in Princess Rosemary's life.

It all started when king Louis dared to have a family of his own other than the late great queen mother and Princess Rosemary.

He dared to get dirty with the woman who provided him the throne all by himself.

He had a mistress and with her, he had his first son already. Prince Harry was it, due to his identity being mysteriously controversial Prince Harry was obviously the illegitimate son of king Louis.

Being legitimate, Princess Rosemary was born with the late queen mother shortly as king and queen both were married by the law and honour.

The king kept betraying the late queen mother in honour with his another family even before Princess Rosemary was born but he was successful enough to keep them hidden for 9 long years.

Until one day the truth had to unfurl just as the saying goes well, all the lies die eventually.

The queen mother came to know about the king's dare and sadly she could not bear his betrayal, she tried to harm herself to death the same day.

But eventually being rescued by the royal servers on time before she could have harmed herself even more, the queen was saved at the last minute.

Although it was of no use later, the queen mother slept an entire year deeply. She was in coma because of her harsh injuries caused by the self attack.

She was being treated by the doctors practicing Mesopotamian magic when Princess Rosemary was just little of 9.

Princess Rosemary witnessed queen mother's sufferings everyday, her will of survival had no chance at all.

But she was still breathing on the bed for over a year.

Even though the queen mother herself didn't wanted to live no more but she was still breathing enough for survival and it was all possible because of the Mesopotamian witchcraft.

Princess Rosemary watched her mother's soul being controlled by the doctors in order to bring her back to life, they wanted to connect her soul and body back together and the trial happened for the entire year.

The doctors tried day and night for the queen mother to bring her back to life and they could have even succeeded in doing so if not she was so stubborn.

The queen mother was determined enough to win her battle at last and rescue her soul from the doctors to end the struggle of life.

Maybe she was way too heartbroken to live anymore, she just wanted to leave and she left…

The doctors practicing Mesopotamian skills were declared defeated after still trying for so long. That was the longest fight in the history of medical science.

Princess Rosemary didn't blame the doctors of their failure to save her mother but she sure blamed one... the arrogant king.

As it was all because of the betrayal of king Louis that the queen mother had to accept death in such a painful way to maintain her dignity.

For her, death was better than seeing him with any other woman. That’s how much she loved him and he in return ended up taking her life.

The queen mother was one prideful woman till the end of her life, till she took her last breath she was still known to be the best fighter of her own.

And receiving the exact gene of her, Princess Rosemary grew up with anger and hatred towards her father since her childhood, till even this day.

The power of doctors with Mesopotamian magic was witnessed by Princess Rosemary herself and that's what got her captivated in learning the magic in ancient medicines too.

She acknowledged that the Mesopotamian magic was benefitted with the witchcraft, this witchcraft was not evil in fact the trick of medicines and power of controlling the soul of the patient.

Hence she wished for getting mastered in the witchcraft with so much of determination at only the early age of 10, none dared to disobey her either.

The negligence of her father played a vital role for Princess Rosemary to grow up to be a lady of her own wishes now.

Princess Rosemary's masters in Mesopotamian magic of medicines never much came in big help until today. She knew correct, how rare were her skills in the young Europe.

After all, young Europe was still facing heavy crises in medical knowledge also the most important aspect of all... the medical knowledge with witchcraft is skills.

The carriage man wondered about the entire scenario for a long minute, indeed Princess Rosemary's trickery made him tensed up.

Acknowledging the fact that Mesopotamian magic was no easy skill for an normal being to learn so easily, the carriage man wasn't be able to comprehend that well coming from the mysterious passenger sitting on his carriage.

Princess Rosemary's play of words sure succeeded in fooling the carriage man.

"Mesopotamian magic you said?"

The carriage man uttered an honest shock for the mysterious lady in veil who was not much surprised to hear such anticipation in his tone. 

"What's the matter?"

Questioning back sharply, Princess Rosemary's tone was demanding in a confident way.

At this point the carriage man knew, that the mysterious passenger wasn't one normal lady with easy personality. Also her power of speech indicated well about her upfront attitude.

She was clever with her words since the start.

"Are you a w-witch, lady?"

Slowing the speed of the carriage a little, the man focused on the lone mysterious passenger sitting on his carriage.

His mind revolved solely around her now, as practicing such a witchcraft makes her obviously a witch!

"What if I say I am?"

Princess Rosemary uttered without any hint of surprise while soon her eyes being drawn on the carriage boy's vehicle briefly.

"Gabrio is your name right?"

She uttered surprising the guts of the carriage man who remembered right that he still had his part of introduction pending for her to reveal.

Shocked heavily by how she came to know his name without even him saying anything out loud was enough proof for him to belief that she wasn't any woman to mess with now.

Meanwhile mumbling a sarcastic 'Foolish' to him quietly. Princess Rosemary stared at the name written on the carriage’s seat belonging to the carriage man…

Gabrio, in the service of Sebastian's…

She now knew that the carriage served the family of Sebastian's and only he can bring her where her destination lies!

In front of master Xavier!

It was a lot more easy task to trick the carriage man now as he was the very right medium who could lead her to her target’s way after all.

"What-what are you here for, lady?"

Afraid for unknown reasons, the carriage man panicked.

While satisfied with the question of him, Princess Rosemary decided to demand what she was here for.

"I intend to meet your master Xavier."
