Chapter 17 - When Stranger becomes best friends

A thrilling moment for Prince Liam to meet Olena, Mori, Sora, Yoona, and Leah. He has found the strangers become his best friends and his best friend, crown prince Noel who grows up together with him, turns into a stranger to him.

Julia woke up before dawn to prepare for dim sum and put them into a basket. She brought them to the queen's chamber.

She kneels down before the queen upon seeing her. Just like yesterday, Queen Aliyah served them to the dog, Miu Miu.

"Your majesty, if you don't mind, would you let me know what kind of food you like?" Julia asked. She looked at the queen sincerely.

The queen mentioned nothing. Instead, the eunuch requested her to leave her and Farah alone.

Julia left the chamber. She walked to Farah's chamber to ask her for help. She knew Farah was with the queen, and she waited patiently for Farah to return to her chamber.

Olena visits the physician hall. she introduced Mori to the chief of the royal physicians, "This is Mori. He will be my personal physician from now on."

The chief is not happy after hearing what Olena just told him. He said, "We are not sure about his medicine skill. You can't just put someone randomly to work with us."

Olena responded, "This is my body, I pick whoever I want to look after my body. Recently, I almost died, none of you has cured me. It was Mori that saves me. If you insisted to be in charge, I would like to speak to my father to ensure that he will execute you for failing to save my life earlier"

The chief of the royal physician in shocked, quickly kneel, "Please pardon me! I will respect your wish" The chief, embarrassed with the response from Prince Liam, couldn't argue anymore. It is true, he has given up to cure Prince Liam.

Olena continues, "If you ever mistreated my physician, Mori. I will make sure your entire family with join you to meet the underworld lord!" she speaks in anger after she remembers the physician who poisoned Prince Liam.

Prince Liam suggests to Mori, Yoona, Sora, and Leah, "We should meet outside. If you remember, there is a hut we were eating earlier? That will be a great place for us to meet to discuss. In this palace, there are a lot of ears. The spy of the crown prince and queen might eavesdrop on our conversation. If you see me dressing in red, it's a sign of meeting at 8 pm in the night"

The Crown prince and the queen were discussing Prince Liam restructuring his peoples. Queen Aliyah instructed the crown prince not to take any action for the time being because the king has been keeping his eyes on the crown prince.

Then she highlighted that they also need restructuring on their side. She instructed her guard to kill the physician that they earlier instructed to poison Prince Liam. Bobby who was listening to their conversation quickly moves to Prince Liam's chamber to notify him.

In the prince's chamber, Olena is not happy about the prince's lack of compassion. She has been waking up to neck pain from sleeping on the couch every night. It's unfair for her to sleep on the couch every night.

She asked Prince Liam to sleep on the couch tonight. Prince Liam ignores and refusing her request. Olena shamelessly walks to the bed lying next to him. Prince Liam startled to see her sleeping next to him. He woke up trying hard to push her out of the bed. While they both are arguing on the bed, the ghost appears in front of them.

It embarrassed them both when the ghost appears to see them on the bed together. Prince Liam yells, "You should not just appear just like that. What if I'm showering?"

The ghost chuckled and tells them, "I come to inform you about the queen has given instruction to the guard to kill a physician that poisoned you, and also I think the Queen is planning to restructure her people."

Prince Liam uses the whistle to blow. A sharp pitch released to the ears of Sora, Yoona, Leah, and Mori. They all run towards Prince Liam's chamber. Prince Liam gives them instructions to save the physician.

Mori and the girls flying out at lightning speed from the palace to look for the physician. Mori found a guard. He is flying towards the physician's house. He gave a signal to the girls that he found the guard.

Just before the guard could slaughter the physician, Mori jumps into the physician's house. He aims a needle on the neck of the guard. He then uses the needle to shoot at him, the needle prickling the guard at his neck. The guard felt dizzy and fainted.

"Run quickly! Before he wakes up."

Yoona, Sora, and Leah arrive at the physician's house.

The physician jumps in fear, seeing so many people intruding into his house. He lifted his arms up to shield his face when he sees Yoona tries to beat him; he begged them not to kill him.

Yoona informs him, "He is here to kill you, he works for the queen" pointing at the guard who lying unconsciously on the ground. She continues, "We are here to save you. We work for Prince Liam"

Sora tells the physician, "We will take you to stay in an isolated area, stay in a place that nobody can find you."

He nodded his head to agree. Mori will bring him to his master's cottage, "You can stay with my master, it's the safest place."

Leah is not happy to save him. "We should not allow a physician that tries to harm people to live. They will continue to harm others"

The physician says, "I have already expected all this. It was against my will to harm anyone, but I receive a top-order from the queen. How can I not obey?"

In Prince Liam's chamber, the ghost, Bobby informed Prince Liam, "One of the King's consort is working for the queen. She is plotting to deteriorate the health of the king by using incense."

Prince Liam asked Bobby, "Do you know which consort is working for the queen?."

Bobby shakes his head saying, "The number of consorts that the king has already outnumbered the family members, and ancestors. I have no clue, which consort but I will find out."

The queen has recruited more people as well. They have been ignoring the prime minister, and she has support from the minister of defence.

The ghost tells Prince Liam, "The study room of the crown prince has weird energy. I could not enter the room. I think it's the sword of the previous king. That can protect the crown prince from ghosts or demons. It was a sword that uses by the previous king during the war, and it has bloodstains of 1000 peoples. The previous king gave it to the crown prince as a reward for being the next heir to the throne."

Prince Liam stood up, trying to pick up a manuscript that recorded information about spirituality from the top of the shelves. He could not reach the manuscript because Olena isn't tall enough and her hand is not long enough.

He tries to climb again. Olena stood up to help Prince Liam. She hugged Prince Liam and carries him. He took the manuscript. Olena is embarrassed because she just realized that she is heavy, although she is petite.

Prince Liam says, "I have never expected that the manuscript of spiritual will be useful to me, that is why I placed them on the highest shelf."

Prince Liam flipped through the manuscript of spiritual, "Bobby is right, when a sword has killed over 1000 peoples, it will bring out fears in the ghost."

Bobby shakes his head, "You should have trusted what I said. I felt humiliated because you have to check the manuscript to verify my words."

Meanwhile, the prime minister taking a walk in his garden at his manor together with his wife.

The prime minister is wondering why Queen Aliyah doesn't summon for him anymore. He stuck in between Prince Liam and the crown prince. He still thinks that Prince Liam is incompetent. His wife persuaded him not to worry, constantly reminding him to resign and stay happy living a long life with no worries.

In the study room of the king, The king's trustworthy chief counsellor informed him that Crown Prince Noel is still acting inappropriately. Crown Prince Noel is a famous womanizer of the nation, ruthless, thoughtless, and worse of all, he has no passion to help others. It disappoints King George.

The king summoned Prince Liam. He asked Prince Liam, "Tomorrow if you can, please start getting involved with politics by participating in the meetings at court daily."

Olena bows at the king and says, "I will join the court meeting tomorrow" She has never involved in politics but she will take the challenge.

After Olena left the King's chamber, she moves back to her chamber. Olena summoned for Mori, Yoona, Sora, and Leah.

As soon as they gathered, Olena speaks out, "I will join the politics meeting from tomorrow onwards. Since both of us were born in noble families, we have no chance to know what is happening outside our residence. I would like to hear more about the problems that the citizens are having, that way I can address the issue in the court."

Yoona replies, "The citizen has been suffering from poverty. The corrupted ministers are pressuring them to pay more taxes."

Olena says, "Curbing corruption? There is no proper system. The powerful clans that had dominated our country. "

Yoona continues, "They must punish those corrupted ministers. This can not solve the problem. One corrupted minister replaced, but the other minister steps up as a replacement is likely to be same. Because a human being is greedy. They always want more."

Prince Liam then gives a proposal, " Establish a research foundation, where everyone can contribute money to set up a research institute. This research institute, not only working on promoting agriculture, research, and development of medicine and food, but we can use them to educate the people."

They impressed with his idea, keep their faith with Olena and Prince Liam.

They believe this Olena and Prince Liam will be a better ruler compared to the crown prince.

In the eastern palace, Farah returned to her chamber late in the night, Julia bowed to her with respect but Farah ignored.

"Can we be friends?", Julia asked.

"I need to sleep. I am tired. Can you please leave?" Farah said. She slammed the door in her chamber.

Julia walked back to her chamber, disappointed. Crown Prince Noel is waiting for her in the chamber. He embraced Julia and wondered what made her upset.

"The queen doesn't seem to like my food." Julia sighed.

"I will follow you to greet her tomorrow morning. Why don't you prepare some food?" Crown Prince Noel said, rubbing her head softly. Julia curved her lips, smiling.
