Madam Qui tried to remember what it was then she remembered, pointing her finger up. "We actually are shorthanded on witches."
"Witches?" Clara peaked with interest. She would only catch glimpses of witches visiting the old kingdom once and they they would cast spells around the castle. They'd make the plants grow and make flowers bloom. "What do I need to do?"
I could hear multiple girls laughing behind us but madam Qui smiled at me genuinely. "Every sunset, go to the witch tower near the city gates. You'll find Kois. He's the only witch here who helps build a strong shield for the kingdom and he's a healing master for the assassins. He'll teach you what you need to learn."
Clara smiled. "Thank you, madam Qui. Well, I can also just be a helping hand here in the kitchen. I don't really have that much to do in Norix's room."
Clara helped around the kitchen to prepare food for their husbands when they return from a mission.
Madam Qui remembered something and when they were having a break, she tapped Clara on the shoulder. "Clara. Every morning. we'd have classes on the east side of the kingdom. You can spend time learning a class there."
Clara was very interested. "That's splendid. I'll take a class."
Kimber could hear their conversation and she planned to get into Clara's class and try to one up her.
They all were preparing the food in the main dining hall. Clara happily set up the plates and the food with the other women.
Madam Qui looks around to check that everyone is doing their job.
Clara was now sitting in the corner when she saw Kimber drop something in one plate. Clara thought it only be as innocent as spice but she had second thoughts. 'but...it would be for the soldiers, why would she try to poison them?' Clara said to herself.
"Are you alright, Clara?" Madam Qui appeared behind Clara, startling her.
Clara only shook her head, nervously smiling. "I'm-I'm good. Um...madam Qui, what classes do you have?" Clara asked to change the subject.
Madam Qui smiled. "We'll we have agriculture, culinary, craftsmanship, and motherhood class."
Clara could only think about the motherhood education. She did not have a happy childhood. Now, she thinks that it would be a great idea to have a family with Norix and raise the baby to have a better childhood than she had.
Clara was filled with passion. "I want to take the motherhood class." She said with a big genuine smile.
Madam Qui was surprised but she nodded. "Well okay then. But...you're not pregnant yet, right?"
Clara nodded.
Madam Qui smiled. "That's alright. There's no rush in having a child."
Clara had an idea. "I can just ask Norix when he gets home."
Madam Qui could only laugh. "Oh my, dear child! Whatever you say."
The girls in the corner could only fume in anger they hear their beloved assassin is to be taken away by another girl.
Suddenly, someone walks through the kitchen doors and the girls gasped. "What are you guys talking about?"
