After Azure and Logan had finished talking, they all then made their way to where the body of the creature was kept.
And of course, Logan won't let Camellia Come along, so she was stuck at the inn with Rachel and Eliza.
Sighing, Camellia then said to Eliza, "It's not Fair!! I want to help, but it's as if no one wants my help!"
She whined as Eliza just smiled, "It's not like that, my lady, I'm sure his highness just wants to protect you."
"Humph! You're right," Camellia replied sarcastically.
But just then, a knock sound was heard on the door and with that, Eliza opened only to see Rachel standing there with her sword but wearing a rather feminine dress and a cloak that covered her body and head.
"Huh? Lady Rachel, Where are you off to?"
"I'll be leaving for a while, will come back by noon… Need to go meet Aurora!"
She said and upon hearing that Camellia's fingers turned pink as she quickly stood and ran towards her, completely forgetting her lady's etiquette.
"L-let me accompany you… I-I also want to see Florist Aurora!"
Camellia said as Rachel just rolled her eyes and turned around, "Then you better get out fast!"
"R-really?" Camellia was shocked, She never expected Rachel would even let her go out because of Logan.
She quickly wore her yellow Cloak and left the inn with Rachel and, just to be safe, Eliza followed behind them with a basket of snakes in case her Lady caught hungry.
Meanwhile,
Logan and Azure were shown the place where the Beast was killed.
But to their surprise, there was no Beast or creature buy Just a girl with long messy hair laying on the messy ground with her literally naked.
They were all shocked, including the chief Zenac, who was there awaiting their arrival.
"This-"
"Your highness, please believe me when I say that just a few days ago this was a beautiful, we don't know how it turned into a person!"
Said The chief as he was panicking. How the hell could a beast turn into a human.
Azure – "It seems like The beast you had killed wasn't any ordinary mystical Beast. It must have been a 'shape-shifter' of some kind!"
He said taking everyone surprised as they were a Little bewildered after all, shape-shifters have not been caught or seen for almost a decade now.
[Shape shifters:
This is a creature that can transform from a beast into a human form.
They can take many forms, and their abilities vary across different legends and cultural beliefs. Some examples of shape-shifters from different mythologies include werewolves, selkies, skin walkers, and Kitsune. ]
Ralph – "So the beast your villagers had encountered and killed was a shape-shifter? No wonder you've been cursed!"
"So the Beast is related to the Curse?" Asked Ethan upon hearing Ralph's words.
"Yes somehow, Usually shape-shifters are also known for their bonds without shape-shifters, if one of their people is killed they are sure to take revenge upon them… I'm sure they are just exacting revenge for the death of their people!" — Ralph.
"If that is the case," turning around to face Azure, Logan said, "Would Wizard Azure helps to find a solution to the Curse?"
He questioned and With that. A smile appeared on Azure's lips, "Yes of course, I'll see what I can do to help the monarch!"

After their thirty minute ride, they finally got to a nice house which was filled with different green grass around.
It was truly one of the most beautiful houses here in the village.
They entered and were greeted by the beautiful scent of freshly picked flowers.
They were all arranged in a impressive order while some were made into a bouquet, while some were kept in vases.
Just then, a tall woman with red long hair walked towards them. She wore a impressive brown dress as she had a white apron tied around her waist.
She was holding a vase filled with flowers as she greeted them with a warm smile, "Ah! Welcome… Are you here for flowers?"
She asked as Camellia and Rachel walked towards her, "Good day lady Aurora… I'm Camellia and I would love to get some flowers!"
"Do you have any specific flower in mind?"
"Well not really but… I've heard about a 'Luminella" flower… I would like to have that one, please!" Camellia said.
As Rachel Furrowed her brows a little. Could that she be suspecting that flower?
Rachel thought ass Aurora went on ahead to get the Flower and upon showing it to camellia, Camellia smiled.
She had to say that thees flowers were truly beautiful. It was warm and as it glowed from the radiation of the morning sun, it couldn't be compared to any other flower.
"This are freshly picked flowers, I hope it's to your taste!"
Aurora said as she placed it on a table.
"Umm… Aurora, I would like to ask you a question?" Asked Camellia as Aurora nodded, "Sure thing, What question do you want to ask?"
"Well… Firstly, how long have you been staying here at the Village?"

Aurora's POV
As they entered into my shop, I was a pity taken aback. I thought that they were just normal customers, but from seeing the way they had dressed, it was obvious that the woman with blonde hair was someone of High nobility.
And the two women beside her may be her Knight and maid.
But I kept my cool, after all the rumors of the cursed monarch and his wife staying in the village had gone wild, so I suspected that she might be that wife I had heard so much about.
"Well… Firstly, how long have you been staying here at the Village?"
She asked, and I was now becoming suspicious. Why was she asking me that? Now I know that she wasn't here for my flowers.
Smiling, I replied, "Well My lady, I've been here for a month now… I recently just started my flower business, but may I know why my lady asked such a question?"
With a Bright smile, Camellia then said, "Well I was just curious… Anyway, I would love for a massive batch of flowers to be delivered to this location tonight!"
Camellia said as Eliza then went on ahead to give her the location of the inn as Aurora nodded and collected it.
Just then, a short girl with short messy hair entered the shop as Rachel questioned, "Who is that?"
"Ah! This is one of my assistants, they also help me in delivering my flowers to houses that are far away…" Aurora replied as she then turned to the short girl, "Miami I'll need you to go get those batch of flowers and get them delivered!"
She instructed as Miami said, "okay, but it will take some time before I can get it delivered!"
"And why will it take time?" Camelia then asked, her eyes gazing sharply at Miami.
"Because of the festival, there will be a little festival this evening at the village, so it's going to take some time to get the Flowers delivered!"
She said as Camellia then nodded, "Well then in that case I shall take my leave. It was a pleasure meeting you, Aurora!"
And so Camellia left, with Rachel and Eliza behind her.
Now that was a waste of time!
