At dangali small clinic, there were a lot of people, men, women, children crying, sir Nim came with his people carrying some medicine, they were wearing face cloth as protection, sir Nim approached the doctor " what's going on, is there a way I can help", the doctor replied to him" it's an outbreak, we we'll need medicine,someone should inform the king, we will need more help "
The next day
*at the palace*
*in the conference room *
They got informed about the out break in dangali village
" your majesty, we can't allow people from that village come here, it could be more worse" man 1 speaks
" this outbreak is worse than that of 50 years ago in dangali village , and it took long to get cured " man 2 speaks
" your majesty, the people who are infected are a lot and our doctors are refusing the offer to go there, leaving their families i think we should be more careful and find a way, "another man speaks
( dangali village is part of sila, but it was abandoned, and most people who live there are exiled or too poor to afford a living in sila)
After hearing that, the king ordered " send them food and medicine "
The men looked at each other in embarrassment as if they don't agree
At dangali village people were suffering and they were told that the king is sending food and medicine, in a meanwhile seff too was still searching for a woman, he went to a place he was told a woman is living, he saw a small house and approached it,then a woman came out of the house and saw him standing outside, she was a little shocked " who are you,,, may I help you", seff approached her and said "am looking for kwang's wife", the woman shivered in fear" I don't know what you are talking about,,,," she quickly went inside and closed the door , but seff wanted to ask more" look ma'm am looking for kwang, maybe you can help me"
" I said go away,,, I don't know who that person is" the woman said while covering her mouth , not to cry, she was panicking, and she suddenly touched her stomach and started breathing hard, seff on the outside confused and calling out the woman" ma'm,,, ma'm let's talk please " in that moment he heard something falling " ma'm are you alright, can you hear me,,,ma'm" when the woman wasn't responding, he broke the door and found the woman on the ground, " ma'm are you alright" he quickly carried her.

After the conversation with her highness iris went with her maid calla " I didn't know the palace is beautiful and more peaceful, all the people here really work well they are so lucky,,,," calla was talking to iris, while they were walking, she saw haru passing by going to the royal library, " calla you can be looking around and wait for me, I have to go somewhere, I'll find you later", iris said while she was going, calla was in shock but she went along with it.
Haru was in the library, he was looking for books,someone entered, " are you looking for something " when haru turned to see, it was iris, he looked at her and replied " yes", she smiled,her face was blushing.
"are you looking for something " haru asked her,
