"That's right, sush…her mother is a witch."
Maid in Conner, bluntly said out loud.
For hours they are gossipping around.
It's barely been a few hours as the princess Burns in intense pain.
Princess trembling all over. Every part of her body was like tearing apart. Her hands, forehead, all are burning and sweating. Her face was so pale that she didn't look like a 16 years old girl at all.
Even in those Desperate situations, she didn't give up nor ask for help.
But who can she ask for help?
All the maids are watching her sweating in pain but they are all busy gossiping. They didn't even bother to know about her condition.
She tightly grabs the hem of her dress, all the time she tries to endure it alone.
She knows there is no point at all for being
Weak.
Suddenly she heard some noises. A lot of high level maids are pouring into the princess room.
'Princess, hump… what a pitiful rat.' queen Aliza whispered.
Princess sasi eyes are blurry, but she can sense the overly fragments of flowers.
She came close to princess sasi. She told her that she was so sad that she wasn't able to eat. But she pushed in her breath to hide her little hanging tummy.
As she sat beside the sasi on bed. She couldn't help, as she twitched slightly her one eyebrow upwards and couldn't help but have a pleasant sparkling smile.
Then she started stroking silver smooth hair, she also didn't forget to bring her most expensive fan.
"... God is surely cruel…don't worry." She tries to comfort her. But In the corner of her lips is still a line of smile.
Then She gave her some of the most expensive southwest empire air.
All the maids and doctors' eyes are sparkling and amazed by her kind air. They couldn't help but clap with respect.
As the commoners, they never saw a fan with all kinds of diamonds. let alone the things from the southeast empire of fortune.
But Sasi looked away as she was never interested anyway. She tries her best to maintain her entiques.
All the maid, even the doctor not treating the patient, starts wagging his tail to please the queen.
"Pathetic!"
a slight wrinkle on her nose as she was disgusted by those scenes but she changed her expression and smiled faintly.
Sasi knows that the queen only came to see if she was really dying or not.
Sure enough, the queen's long plans are now showing excellent results. Her happiness is sparking through her eyes.
She was having a very good time. Her planning to seize the throne for her son, finally starting soon.
As she leaves the room. she turned and last time looked at the still suffering princess.
A wrinkles appear in the corner of her eyes, with wide smile even dull room can't hide and she said,
"oh my… it's truly satisfying."
*** At night ***
It's clearly a thick night but the moon is still hanging there. windows are closed but cold air still finds the way in. It made shivers all over the skinny skin and pain came over and over again.
It's been long since she suffered like this. Others say it's a curse from a demon or karma of her mother, no one knows better.
Because of this all maids avoid her. Before and After the queen left no maid cared about the princess, not even when she was screening.
After struggling, she stood up. She looked around, but she didn't find her personal maid.
A sound of fast beating heart and unsteady breath echoes the empty space, a breeze of cold air hits her hard through her thin silk clothes. She finds herself alone once again.
"People are blind to power or love?" She smiled bitterly.
Then she walked away to the balcony. She viewed the shining moon from there. It's so shiny and in the clear blue sky, it's magical or mith. For a few minutes, she just stared at the moon then looked down at her same shiny silver hair.
In this silver moon light, her white pale face, skinny figure are like Angel fallen here, making an absolutely magical illusion.
She tangled her long white pale fingers, then stroked her smooth heir.
Suddenly the moon became blurred as a pool of tears making their way down her cheek bone.
"Why? Why? … why me? Is this my punishment for being obedient?" She screamed over and over again.
She try to control herself but even she scream more loudly,
'Who can hear?'
'Who cares for her?'
'who?'
'Just who?'
She slowly calmed down herself but the more she thought about betrayal, the more she was unable to stop herself. She hardly controls her emotions.
Emotions that are closed deep down by her, are now finding their way up through the cracks.
"Aaa...Princess, what are you?" Emma screamed.
As she was fighting herself emotionally, suddenly she heard some familiar words. It's a warm, sharp and high pitched unique type. The owner of this voice is her personal maid 'Emma'.
She rushed over Sasi and put on her thick coat. She saw her master in a new light as puffed eyes, traces of tears, red cheeks and most surprising running nose.
So as usual she starts her new level of naging.
But it didn't go through sasi mind.
Sasi's eyes are wide open. as she looked at her whole entire time and didn't say anything to her.
Their bond is old and gold. Sasi was abandoned by the duke's and was duke's youngest daughter, even though she never got any luxuries nor love.
At first she wanted to be in love but as time passed, she found it foolish.
She knows the truth that Since she was born, she was thrown into this old castle or prison.
In these years, he never showed his face nor sasi remember it.
After 5 years old, Emma became her official maid and only best friend. They are like two souls in one body.
At first it's hard to approach her. To befriend Sasi, Emma tried many new methods. But at last Sasi got tired of her daily new Cookie recipe, so they became friends.
Because of Emma, Sasi never felt alone ever again. They know best about each other.
After seeing Emma's shocked and worried face, she couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Then suddenly sasi realised, when she was suffering from pain, she never saw Emma.
'Where was Emma the whole time?' she mumbled.
Then she turned her head, she saw Emma's ankles were covered with red marks.
Sasi tried to look closer but Emma noticed and covered.
Seeing her attempt, sasi drew her lips tightly then she smiled and asked her about it.
First, she couldn't say anything but Sasi kept pressing her.
Then after some pressure she told her that she was punished by the queen maid. They falsely accused her and looked up in jail.
Knowing the truth sasi lips curved inward, she tightened her fist.
"Princess… don't… don't do anything racklacess okay?" She warned me.
As it's happened before when sasi broke the queen gift because they punished Emma. And Emma was angry, she made sasi to eat her handmade Cookies for months.
Because of the sasi development a cookie phobia.
Seeing Emma Cookie warning, sasi tongue suddenly felt sour. So she promised to not do anything.
Seeing her, Emma feels relieved and guides her to the bed.
While sitting on bed,
"Emma, can I be rude with you ?" Sasi asked with a smile.
For a second her eyes were wide open, wanting to say but she couldn't find any words.
She couldn't understand her at all. Why do noblemen need commoner permission? Also It was the first time she heard that her angel wants to be rude.
In a confusion, she nodded. Even though she felt something was off, she played along.
Sasi and Emma were together for a very long time. In Emma's eyes, Sasi is never rude to anyone.
The angel's smile on Sasi's face suddenly faded, she narrowed her gaze, leaving only illusion and disgust.
Sasi slowly put her finger on Emma's double Chin. Suddenly She pulled her closer, which tensed up and made bare her white even teeth,
"Princess sasi… what…what are you doing?" She said, Suddenly a chill runs through her spine.
Emma tries to break free. But she couldn't. She tried with both hands but failed. As she stared with mixed feelings, she couldn't believe that Sasi, who was weak, was so strong.
When her only best friend Emma was frightened to death, she didn't even flinch once.
Then sasi pulled her by the hair. She drew her pale lips tightly and found a knife. Holding the knife, she put an Angel -like smile again.
"...How have you been my best friend and… " she came close to her trembling ear and whispered, "... And her highness queen. "
Then She stabbed deeper and deeper in her heart.
