The first lesson of the afternoon was just about to end when two court ladies stumbled into the room where Prince Arya and Nalini were. They bowed to Arya and quickly conveyed their intentions.
"Please, Prince Arya is waiting for Putri Bintari in the inner room." They said it in a deliberately loud voice so that Nalini could hear them. A glance at them told the young healer to leave immediately.
"Oh I'm expected? I had no plans to meet her. I was going to go straight home," Arya Dhipa said matter-of-factly.
The prince looked at Nalini who was preparing to leave the place.
"Thank you, Prince Arya. I will take my leave first. It is better for you to meet Putri as the owner of the house," said Nalini carefully. In a faint movement her left eye blinked, giving a code for Arya Dhipa to comply with the court ladies' request.
