The next day, I had breakfast alone as usual and went to my study room. Dorcas told me the royal physician would be here around ten. I had to finish some economics and politics books. She explained more of what i couldn't understand. She was a great teacher.
Samanta led the royal physician to my study room.
"Greetings your majesty." I nodded at him. He was an old man with his hair turned white.
"Please have a seat." I smiled at him. He sat opposite me. Dorcas served tea.
"Please, can I ask you a favour?" I started.
"Her majesty can ask me anything. I will do if it's in my favour." He said politely.
"I wanted to know how many medicines I could get for this weather?"I asked.
"The medicines depend on the sickness. I can provide as much as her majesty wants."
"Can three bags be good for you?" Three bags were big for an old man like him.
"I can provide the three bags but I need a lot of time." He said politely.
"That's okay." I smiled.
"I can provide a bay for you for now but the other two has to wait for a while."
"That's ok for me."
"The medicine will arrive tomorrow. " He said.
"Thank you so much" i smiled gladly.
"It was a pleasure. I will take my leave now."
"Dorcas will helped you me."
He bowed before before leaving. Was all the people in this kingdom nice except their emperor ? I needed to study them well. Some may be pretending. Dorcas showed the royal physician whose name was Hamor out. I believed he was a hardworking guy even though he was old.
Dorcas helped me with some politics books. She also brought some war strategy books for me to learn. Around four in the evening, I went to the balcony. Looking at the flowers, I felt like home. I missed my garden at home.
"Dorcas, please fetch a lot of water tomorrow for the flowers as well." I was looking at the flowers." It seems they're dying."
"It will be done as you wish." Dorcas said.She looked excited.
" Any problem? You look over excited. " I asked looking at her suspiciously.
"I'm glad to know her majesty also loves flowers." She smiled genuinely.
" I used to fight with my brother because of flowers." I felt sad remembering those days.
"Does her majesty miss her family?" She asked seeing my expression.
"A day without them feels like an eternity of loneliness." I said looking at the mountain.
"Her majesty can write to them. I will deliver the message myself to the messenger. " She said trying to coax me.
It has been five days with her and she already feels like Ana, my personal maid at home. She was also caring and kind.
"I will give it to you when I finish writing it." I said and smiled at her.
The next day, my first priority was the flowers. Dorcas brought the water. I watered the flowers, even planted some well. She didn't complain like how Ana used to when I dirtied myself with soil, because of planting flowed.
She instead smiled and helped me. Even Mabel and Samanta helped me. They all looked genuinely excited. I just couldn't understand them. I decided not to ask.
After that, they brought me clean water and soap to wash my hands. Together, we did a great job. I was very proud of them.
"Thanks you for your help. " I smiled genuinely at them.
"It was great doing it together with her majesty." Dorcas answered to which Mabel and Samanta nodded.
There came knock at the door. I nodded at Divas and she ordered the person to enter.
"Greetings your majesty " Lamech greeted. He was my personal guard .
"Good morning. How have been?" I asked with a smiled.
"I'm great, thanks for her majesty's concern. I'm here to report, the bag of medicine has arrived "
"Thank you, I will be down there. "
Together with Dorcas, Mabel and Samanta, we went downstairs. The royal physician and his apprentices were there. They bowed when they saw me. I nodded at them.
"I brought the bag, your majesty. " Hamor said.
"You shouldn't have bothered. We could have come for it. " I smiled.
"It was nothing. This is the list of medicines and their prescription. When you use and when not to. Also, the intake as well. " He said.
"Thank you so much Elder Hamor. "I smiled genuinely.
"Your majesty can call me just by my name. "
"That's inappropriate. You can be my grandfather. I must show respect no matter who you are." I said. "Please allow me."
"I'm glad to be called like that my you.i will take my leave." He said.
I thanked him before he left.
"Dorcas, please, sendthis medicine to the royal harem. Give the papers to Lady Siera. " I handed the list to her.
"It will be done, your majesty. "She bowed.
Mabel and Samanta followed me back to the study room. I continued reading the politics books. After thirty minutes, Dorcas entered the room.
"It has been done ,your majesty. Lady Siera and Lady Naomi send their gratitude. " She reported.
"Thank you"
She helped me in all other books that I couldn't understand. She was really a kindhearted woman.
Meanwhile, Hezron entered his study room. Amos, the man who sent me to his majesty, also his knight and messenger bowed at him. Hezron sat on his chair. There were piles of files on his desk.
" I saw the royal physician here. What's wrong?" He asked coldly.
"He was called by her majesty. " Hezron looked up at Amos from his file." I heard she sent medicine to the royal harem. Two days ago,her majesty visited the royal harem. She's solving the problems there. I also heard she wanted the royal architecturer."Amos explained.
"At least, she knows her duties and fulfill them." His majesty said coldly.
He hated her so much. He didn't understand why his fatber chose her for him. He sees nothing special about her. Shes just a mannerless girl.
A week already passed, and I never saw his majesty. I did all my duties well and Dorcas was very proud. I already sent a letter to my mother and was waiting for a reply. The flowers in the small garden on the right side were also blooming well. I will always smile looking at them.
A week was gone and the royal architecturer was back. Does make an appointment with him. I just didn't want to disturb him much.
"Greetings your majesty. " Because he was surprised to know the emperor married me. You know the reason already. Almost everyone in the palace knew about them.
"Good morning Elder Eric. I'm sorry to call you just after your return." I said politely.
"That's okay. I'm always at her majesty's service." He had a seat and Dorcas served tea.
"My reason is about a small problem in the royal harem. There's a leakage in one of the store rooms. I was hooping you could fix that for us."I said sipping a tea.
" A leakage is not a problem. I must see the place first."Elder Eric said.
"I'm not busy today. We can make a quick check after ten minutes if Elder Eric is not busy." I said with a smile. He also smiled back.
"Not at all your majesty. " I looked at Dorcas who was standing a hand' s length behind me.
"Please send message to the royal harem and tell them about my quick visit." I said.
"But your majesty, a man is not allowed in the royal harem except the emperor. " Dorcas said a little fearful.
" If so, how is he suppose to check the problem?" I asked politely. She seemed shocked.
Was she thinking I will be annoyed with that. Give me a break. The only thing which annoys me so much is if someone messed with my family or I love.
"Pardon me, but I have no idea your majesty. " Dorcas bowed shamefully.
"I suggest her majesty seeks permission from his majesty." Elder Eric said. Hearing this, I looked at him and smiled.
"His majesty's matters go no where with the royal harem. As it's my duty, I will solve the problems no matter what." I smiled through out my talking.
"I love her majesty's courage."Elder Eric said proudly.
" How about I check it myself and show you." I suggested. Elder Eric nodded proud of my suggestion.
