Flora was still sleeping when Hope tiptoe into her room holding a tray of food.she sat on the bed thinking on what to do to make flora to wake up just then a foolish idea pop into her heads.
She began tickling floras ear, flora thought it was a random insect so she gave it a slap which only landed on her ear.
" ouch" she groaned in pain.
"Am so sorry " Hope apologize
"What again" flora yelled holding her ear.
"Am sorry. My joke went too far"
"Don't you know it's hurt" flora said still holding her ear.
They heard a knock on the door which is unusual, "Who is there" Hope hurried to open the door but it's turned out to be monarch.
"Monarch" she hugged him not wanting to let go. Flora cleared her throat loudly signifying she is visible.
Hope released her grip on monarch beaming from ear to ear.
" flora. Arlong want you to eat at the dinning table." He left.
Flora was directed by the butler to the dinning table. Her gaze fell on the large dinning table,it was too large that flora thought it could feel in the space of 50 people or more.
'Such a money waster'
Arlong sat at the end of the table while the two sat far from each other as if they were holding grudges against one another. Flora sat beside monarch who was smiling wildly at her.
"Come sit here " Arlong ordered pointing at the chair beside him.
" okay" That was all flora could say. She walk to him and sat on the chair.
"Eat" He said
Flora balanced herself on her seat,she began devouring the food like a glutton. She stopped eating when she realised all eyes were fixed on her.
"Are you not all going to eat before it gets cold" she said.
. " we are not hungry as you are." Arlong smiled wryly and flora didn't know how to react. Arlong stared at her body Making flora to feel uncomfortable. His gaze fell on her elbow there was bruises on it.
" Do you hit your elbow on something" Arlong held her hand looking at the hand. He picked up his phone calling someone . Monarch couldn't believe Arlong is reacting this way over some little wound on the other hand ziel wasn't surprised because he knew this day will come.
" Doctor mole come to zwalu now. You have a patient. " He hanged up immediately after saying what he want to say. Ziel jaw dropped he never knew Arlong will go to the extent of calling a doctor not just a doctor,the world richest doctor. Ziel is also a doctor he is first famous,world known doctor. He was surprised why Arlong didn't request him to treat flora.
"What is that for" ziel said feeling irritated
" hey come here" Butler ran to meet Arlong. "Take her to her room"
"Okay" They left.
"Don't you think this is too much"
" she is nothing to you" ziel added.
"No. She is a golden egg that needs to be protected. She is the woman in the prophecy "
"What if she is not"
"Whatever"
In floras room,doctor mole sat on the bed treating floras wound. Hope was speechless, just a little bruise that can heal with time. I guess master is into flora.
"Miss flora, am happy that the wound was not infected. Here are some medicines you will be taking daily "he placed the the medicine beside her.
" Thank you" said flora.
"You are welcome "
Hours later flora took the drugs and slept off.
