The next morning.
"My Queen, please wake up" said Nora as she lightly tapped Wura on her shoulder in order to wake her up.
"My Queen, please wake up, it is morning" said Nora once again as she gently woke up Wura.
She did not know the last time that Wura had slept so peacefully without waking up crying, or having nightmares, so it broke her heart that she had to wake Wura up right now, left for her, she would have let Wura sleep some more, she really needed to rest.
But Nora could not do that, she knew that when Wura woke up and she realized that it was late, she would be upset for Nora not waking her up early like she had told her to, so Nora had no choice than to wake her up.
"My Queen" called Nora once again as Wura groaned and she opened her eyes as she saw Nora.
"Good Morrow my Queen" said Nora as she smiled.
"Good Morrow Nora" said Wura as she yawned and she opened her eyes as she looked at Nora.
"My Queen, it is morning" said Nora as Wura fell out of her sleepy state as she opened her eyes wide and she quickly got out of bed.
She could not be late, not at all, she had told Mero and the others that they would leave very early, and yet here she was sleeping in very late.
"Nora, what time is it?" asked Wura in a panic as she quickly had to get dressed.
"My Queen, please slow down, take it easy" said Nora as she knew that Wura would react like this.
"How can I take anything easy right now Nora? We are late" said Wura as she scolded herself, how could she had let herself sleep for so long?
"My Queen, we are not late not at all" said Nora.
"My Queen, the sun has not risen yet" said Nora as soon as she said that Wura turned to look at her window and just like Nora had said the sun had not risen yet, outside was still dark, Wura sighed as she calmed herself down.
"I know that you wanted to leave early in the morning, so I woke you up early, so you can get ready in time" said Nora as Wura took a deep breath.
"I prepared you a warm bath, and I already asked the kitchen to prepare your breakfast, and I chose something light for you to wear today my Queen" said Nora as she explained to Wura.
"*Sigh*, Thank you Nora, I am sorry… I overreacted" said Wura as she sighed, she was just so tired and restless, she wanted to go and see that diviner as soon as possible, hoping that she would at least be able to answer one of her questions, she needed answers, a lot of them.
"It is alright my Queen, I understand you" said Nora as she smiled.
"My Queen, please have your bath, it is very warm and it will relax and calm you, and I will go get your breakfast for you" said Nora as she smiled.
"Alright Nora… alright I will" said Wura as she took a deep breath and she nodded her head.
"Alright my Queen, I will go now and get your breakfast, please try to relax" said Nora with a smile.
"I will Nora… I will try" said Wura as she sighed and Nora gave a smile as she walked out of the room and she closed the door behind her.
…
"My Queen, are you full?" asked Nora as she smiled and she watched Wura eat her breakfast.
"I am not hungry" replied Wura.
"Alright my Queen" said Nora as she smiled and she took the tray from Wura.
Wura looked at Nora, she had been taking care of her all day, every day, Wura considered herself selfish for not even asking if Nora had been taking care of herself, since she had been watching her all the time.
"Nora did you have your breakfast yet?" asked Wura.
"Ahh yes my Queen, I had breakfast briefly when I went to the kitchen to get your breakfast" said Nora as she placed the tray on the dining table and she turned to look at Wura as she smiled.
"I see" said Wura.
"Yes my Queen" said Nora as she smiled.
"And did you have your bath?" asked Wura.
"Yes my Queen, I did earlier, before I prepared your own bath" said Nora as she smiled.
"Alright" said Wura as Nora seemed to be able to take of herself and her at the same time, she really admired Nora for being efficient.
"My Queen, we still have some time before the sun rises, shall I do something with your hair?" asked Nora as she smiled.
"Whatever you wish to do Nora, you can do it" said Wura as Nora smiled.
"Alright my Queen" said Nora as she smiled and Wura walked to sit on her dressing table, she had not done so in such a long time, maybe because all these things no longer mattered to her, she did not care if she was beautiful or ugly, if she looked tired or unkept, she just wanted to find Liam, her life had no meaning without him.
Nora smiled as she walked to the dressing table and she began to brush Wura's hair, she knew that Wura hated it when her hair got in her eyes, so she was going to braid Wura's hair in a braided ponytail to the back.
"Please be quick Nora, I do not want to be late" said Wura.
"Yes my Queen" said Nora as she smiled and she nodded her head.
…
"You are really going to let her come along with us?" asked Elihu as he looked at Mero.
"Like I have a choice" said Mero as he looked at Elihu, Mero knew that Wura was stubborn, and even if he offered for them all to go and look for the diviner on her behalf, she would refuse, she was adamant on coming along, and it was dangerous.
"Her Majesty is tired of sending us and having no results, so it makes sense why she would want to come along with us" said Zechariah as he was standing in front of the carriage as Luc brought their own horses.
"I do not blame her, she is desperate, we all are" said Luc as Zuph kept quiet, he knew that Mero blamed him for telling Wura about the diviner.
"Good Morrow Royal Duke" said Mero as he looked at Nigel who had just walked to where they all were.
"Good Morrow, everyone" said Nigel as the others greeted him.
"Are you all ready?" asked Nigel.
"Yes we are" replied Mero as Wura walked to where they were as Nora followed behind her.
"Good Morrow Uncle" said Wura as she looked at Nigel.
"Good Morrow my dear" said Nigel as he smiled.
"Good Morrow your Majesty" said Mero and the rest.
"Good Morrow" said Wura as she replied to them and Nora did not speak at all.
"Are you ready my dear?" asked Nigel as he smiled.
"Yes I am uncle" said Wura as she nodded her head.
"That is good dear" said Nigel as he smiled.
"Uncle, are you not coming along with us?" asked Wura as from the look of things, it did not look like Nigel would be coming.
"Ahh no my dear, I cannot possibly leave the Castle all alone and unattended to" said Nigel as Wura was disappointed, she wanted him to come with her, but she also understood that he was right.
"But there is nothing to worry about my dear, I am sure that all will go well, and Mero and the others will be there to protect you" said Nigel as he smiled.
"Alright Uncle, I understand" said Wura as she nodded her head.
"Thank you dear" said Nigel as he smiled.
"Zuph how long will it take us to get to where the diviner lives?" asked Wura as she looked at Zuph.
"We should reach there by noon my Queen" said Zuph as he replied.
"Alright then, we will not waste any more time, let us go" said Wura as Nigel helped her into the carriage.
"Have a safe journey my dear, and I pray that this will answer some of our questions" said Nigel as he smiled.
"Thank you Uncle, and I pray so as well" replied Wura as Nigel smiled at her and Nora sat down across her in the carriage as Nigel closed the door of the carriage as he turned to look at Mero.
"Please protect her" said Nigel.
"You can count on me, my Royal Duke" said Mero as he bowed and Nigel smiled, he knew that he really could.
"Come on now, let us go" said Mero as the Castle gates were opened and he mounted on his horse as the others did so as well, and they all began to move as the Castle gates closed behind them.
