'Yes there is nothing Mr.Ephraim will do to all Ariel kingdom citizens if something happened to you before marriage after all he has not married you yet' a village man said as he threw a pawpaw at her.
'Why would Mr.Ephraim even wants to marry a filth like you?' A noble lady asked with jeolousy as she threw eggs at her.
'Did you seduce him?' Another villager asked as the villagers continue to throw all sorts of things at her.
'Maybe she casted a spell on him' another villager said in a mocking voice.
By this time Euphorial could be seen bleeding already.Her beautiful face has become pale and tainted with her blood and her tears but the villagers didn't stop they continue to throw alot of things at her without the exclusion of their painful words.
Euphorial continue to weep inside without making a sound so as to not give the villagers the satisfaction of hearing her sobs.In her mind she continue to cry out loud:Where is the royal guard that was supposed to protect me when i'm in danger? Where is Ephraim my supposed to be husband in a month's time? Where is my mother when i needed her the most? She said she left me because she wanted to protect me is this her protection? Why is my life like this? Why can't my witchy powers save me now? I'm i going to die now without seeing my mother and father again? She continue asking alot of questions in her mind until she felt the villagers stop.
Then she heard an alerting voice of one of the villagers 'a royal guard is here'.All the villagers scrambled away because they don't want to punished.She breathed in relief when she felt herself being carried.
Euphorial smiled when she heard Elliott's shaky voice "i'm s-o sor-ry my Lady i woul-dn't have left you if i kn-ew about the grudge between you and the villagers'.That was the last words Euphorial heard before slipping into the darkness.
Two days after the market incident at the Cross mansion,
"Where is the foolish guard that left my daughter alone at the market square?" came the viberating voice of Euphorial's father.
'The guard has been relieved of his duty' his chef answered him.
'Who made the decision?' Charles asked.
'The king did since you were not around to punish the guard.I think you should first see lady Euphorial,she had been slipping in and out of consciousness over the last two days after the incidence but the physician who treated her said she will be waking up soon' the chef advised.
'Where is she now?' Charles asked.
'She is in her room upstairs with a maid' the chef answered him.
'Tell the coach man to bring the stuffs in the carriage to her room' Charles said before going to check up on his dear daughter.
'Leave the room',he commamded the maid that was watching his baby condition.He then moved closer to look at the medication given to her and he sighed in relief when he saw that there is nothing wrong with her internal organs.
Charles kept wondering:With the story i heard before running back home it says she was beaten until she fainted,with that kind of treatment it is impossible to not have a damaged organ.Maybe her locked witchy powers protected her internally he concluded.He decided to wait for the coach man to bring him the portions he left in the carriage.
'Sir Charles should i come in with the goods?' The coach man asked.
'Come in' her father answered and then he added when the coach man came in 'drop them near the table and chair' he pionted to the table and chair near her dress drawer.The coach man dropped the goods there and left.
Cough,cough,cough,Euphorial coughed before opening her eyes.
When she opened her eyes and saw her father standing before her she broke down in tears.Her father hugged her lightly in order to not press on her external wounds.
"It's okay,i'm here now" came the comforting voice of her father as he pat her shaking back.He continue to comfort her until she calmed down.
"Baby i'm so sorry,i shouldn't have left you with that bastard guard" her father pleaded in a soft voice.
'It's not your fault.It is no one's fault so don't blame yourself father',she spoke with a breathy voice.
"I need to get you water to drink but before that take this healing portion so that it will speed up your vampire healing ability.Your locked witchy powers had healed your internal injuries it remain only the external injuries which is taking time because of your human side,take the healing portion i will be right back with water and after telling the chef to prepare porrage for you.He kissed her forehead and went into the kitchen to do as he promised.
When her father came back with a cup of water he asked her 'Why are you not surprised with me giving you a healing portion? Don't you know it is illegal to have witch products in human kingdom,why aren't you asking about how i got it?'
'I have always known that you sell the portions mother give to you through the space bag in your room to the black market' Euphorial answered her father.
