Logan and his Knight were escorted into the Village hall of the west village by the Village chief.
Inside, the atmosphere was heavy with a sense of sadness and despair. The hall was filled with men and women, all lying soundly asleep, victims of the dreaded "curse of forever slumber." Their faces were calm but hints of worry etched across their brows, a reminder of the plight they were trapped in.
As they approached the Village Chief at the front of the hall, he greeted them with a mixture of weariness and hope. He spoke with a gentle tone, "These are the villagers who had been affected, we hope that no more gets affected but its not we haven't already accepted what's going on!"
"Is it every night that the curse takes effect?" Logan questioned.
Shaking his head, the chief said, "No your highness, it only happens when there is a full moon present and there is a full moon tonight, I'm sure someone else might get trapped in their sleep!"
Hearing his words, Logan sighed slightly. This totally wasn't something easy.

"Oh? I see, Well about that curse, it's not like we don't deserve it!"
Said Amelia as she sighed slightly and Camelia totally didn't miss that.
"Eh? What do you mean by that? Did your villagers do something to deserve this curse?"
Looking around, Amelia then took hold of Camelia's hand and brought her to sit on a bench.
"Well Your highness! I don't know if what we did was the cause of the curse but it just might be!"
And with that, Amelia explained everything to Camelia.
Few days before the curse started happening to the villagers, they had encountered something in the nearby forest at night.
It was like a creature of the night and without thinking the farmers and butchers of the village had gone after it.
"They killed the thing and dumped the body in the village waste side, Since then the curse had start taking effect on us!" Shs explained.
Camelia had a serious expression on, Amelia had a point. Not All mythical creature should be messed with, even though you kill then, they would still bring bad luck.
"Is there any other reason that makes you think that it's because of the creature, that's why the Curse is affecting your village?"
Taking some time to Think, Amelia said, "Well apart from that, I Noticed that the curse first affected those men from last night… it's not like the curse is affecting just anyone, it has people it's affecting… from the farmers to the butcher's and their family, I'm sad to say this but even the village chief may be next since he gave the order to get it killed!"
"You have a point, Thanks alot for telling me this Amelia.. you might just be right!" Saying that, camelia hugged her as she then stood up.
"I have to tell his highness about the creature they had killed immediately!" Camelia said as Rachel and Aria exchanged looks.
"No need my lady, I shall go deliver the message to his highnes, you should stay here where it's safe!"
Said Aria as Camelia sighed and nodded and with that, Aria left. There was no one they would let Camelia go, seeing how his high eyes always dotting on her, it was better not to cause any trouble involving her.
With Aria gone, Camelia then decided to walk around the chiefs house. It wasn't as big as the palace but it was still better than an average village house.
Amelia was working as one of the cooks in the house that was why Camelia had seen her here or all places.
As she walked around, she then spotted some maids taking care of the warm corridor by adding some flowers to the big vases.
Those flowers totally looked familiar. Where had she seen them before? They were yellow and seemed like they were glowing as the warm moon light from the windows reflected on them.
"Huh… you two, what flower is this and where did you get it from?" Camelia asked curiously.
"The flower is called 'luminella' my lady!" Replies one of the maids as Camelia stroke her chin at her words.
Shs totally have never heard of such a name before. Turning to the always frowning Rachel, she asked, "Hay! Pretty Knight Lady, have you heard of such a flower before?"
Hearing the name given to her by Camelia, Rachel frowned even more as she shook her head, "No! I've never heard of such a name before!"
"Hmmm… hay Where did you all get the flower from?"
"We bought it from a florist at the side of the village, all her flowers are really amazing… We call her florist Aurora.. she's really nice!" Replied one of the maids cheerfully.
Hearing that, Camelia turned to look at Rachel who said to her, "It's Late My lady, I won't allow you to meet with her… Tomorrow you may ask permission from his highness and then go meet her!"
Rachel said like she already knew what Camelia was about to ask. Sighing! Camelia accepted defeat, she knew she won't be able to leave argh!! "This is annoying!!"
Camelia blurted out as she angrily walked away, leaving the servant girls in awe, they had never seen a lady behave like that before.

Meanwhile, Making their way towards the village hall was Aria and upon entering, she saw Logan and the Knight all running some investigation with the Body's that were laying on the ground.
She passed through them and stood in front of Logan, "Your highness, I have information concerning the things going on in the village from her ladyship!"
Shs stated and upon seeing her, Logan furrowed his brows slightly, "Information? What information?"
"Well your highness, it seems like the village Didn't reveal all that happened in the village to us!"
