"You are already in, go ahead" She spoke dryly while shifting her attention to the balcony, the tone of Nesrin seemed to annoy the person who walked in, who didn't look anywhere close to being human.
Astrid wasn't affected at all by the person who seemed to ignore and maintained her vibrant attitude.
"The king sent me to heal you, can you turn over," she asked sweetly, in a soft and caring tone, making Nesrin feel guilty about her nasty comment earlier, Nesrin with a heavy heart turned over real quick and allowed to witch to do her thing.
"Am sorry that I spoke to you in that manner, I am just not quite in the mood" She gasped when Astrid's hands came in contact with her waist, Nesrin thought she was been ignored until she heard the witch rumbling some words to herself.
"If he hadn't brought her in immediately, she would be in the worst state more than this, looking at her how red it is, mhmm" she pondered for a while before remembering what the other person was saying.
"Sorry, it's okay I don't mind, taking the things you have been through its understandable, and I actually don't mind" she smiled warmly at Nesrin before concentrating more on her waist, Nesrin was skeptical on what just happened, she then saw a flash of light at the corner of her eyes, and she instantly panicked, but the aftermath of doing that caused her pain.
"Don't worry I am a witch, I will instantly heal your waist, if you don't mind please don't move or you might never get out of this bed" Astrid spoke in a serious professional tone, as she didn't want any emotions to be in the way of the process, Nesrin herself didn't like pain so she wouldn't want to inflict that on herself.
Nesrin shut her eyes tightly as the pain of her waist been healed came in heavily and with every time it intensified, Nesrin found herself gripping the pillows, and when it stopped she was sweating and gasping for breath.
"Now you should feel good, are you okay?" Astrid asked with concern laced in her voice, Nesrin then turned around and felt no pain, and was grateful, she sighed before sitting up and answering her.
"Well am okay, so you the one that used a barrier to block every kind of magic from an intruder?" she was not admitting but she was just asking a question, how was she supposed to live like this? As a P-E-T.
"Oh that, that was not all me, His majesty and I combined powers to make this barrier, he made the barrier so that no one could surpass his power but apart from that everybody can use their power normally" Astrid scratched the back of her head feeling awkward in saying this, even though she was a witch she had her bitchy times and her cheerful times, people tend to like her cheerful side more than her bitchy side.
"Then why can't I use my own powers" Nesrin whined she's been feeling depressed ever since she entered this part of this world, but she was determined to keep fighting.
"Oh you can, but you can't use it against his majesty, he would easily repel all your attempts with just a flick of his fingers, Amazing right?" Astrid was like a small child that just witnessed a magician pull a sword out of his mouth, she was grinning from eye to eye, making Nesrin narrow her eyes at Astrid.
"Yeah Amazing FOR YOU GUYS, for goodness sake what's the use of my powers when I can't even use it against the king!!! I am doomed till this fucking life knows when" Nesrin sighed heavily, as she was dejected, she climbed off her bed.
"Where are you going?" Astrid asked her with hands crossed when she saw Nesrin attempting to go somewhere, she chose to push the words that Nesrin said aside but her expression said it all, she no longer had this vibrant mood.
"What can't I go to the bathroom again? Oh right this world doesn't even have a bathroom, oh yeah they called it Privy, please can't I go to the Privy?" She smirked, Astrid was confused with this human, but sighed and then clapped her hands, three girls then swamped into the room.
"Take her to the bathhouse and prepare her a privy" Nesrin wanted to laugh her ass off when she heard Astrid say 'prepare her a privy' like it was a good thing, Nesrin looked at the girls who hung their head low, like empty puppets.
"Are they vampires too?" Nesrin scanned the girls from head to toe, because if they were vampires, then she would be using her middle eye to be able to bathe well.
"Nope, they were vampires until the king sucked their soul out and made them into his puppets, they only listen to commands and have no feeling, many other vampires use them a lot here" Astrid explained casually like it was a normal thing to do here, she then added, "he used it as one of his punishments" and that made Nesrin shudder.
Only the thought made her really feel edgy, so she brushed it off, but this bothered her.
"Then what sort of vampire is he?" she had to ask
"He is the Devil himself, the king of all Vampires, and I am just a lone witch under his liege" Nesrin then widened her eyes in horror, a Devil huh, she should really think well on this mission she was given.
"That's enough information, for now, I think I am good for now," Nesrin said with a wry smile before she now asked her final question.
"What's your name witch?" she asked while yawning seems like she didn't get much sleep but would she be able to get any kind of sleep in this sort of place.
"ASTRID!!!!" Astrid said between gritted teeth, she didn't like the way Nesrin said witch, not that she cared but the way she said made her feel like they were nasty.
"Oh, what a nice name, I am Nesrin" she smiled warmly at the witch, calming down the witch who was literally making a fireball with her hand.
"Oh nice name, what are you?" Astrid really wanted to know because it had been a long time since the king had such a pet, by the look of it she would be a feisty one. Astrid tilted her head to the side when she didn't get an answer.
"I am an Angel of Nature, now can I go to the privy and bathhouse?" she said sarcastically.
"Ahhh yes, you can go" Astrid quickly remembered that Nesrin had to go to the Bathhouse.
"Let's go" Nesrin directed this question to the maids, and they like real puppets started moving.
