Chapter forty eight

'After several days, you woke up Krystal .You really went on a long sleep and we were all worried about you .'

It feels so good to wake up with all of you by my side .I seriously didn't know that I will sleep for that long .

If you would ask me ,ever since I arrived in this kingdom ,this has been the most peaceful sleep in my life .

A sleep without pain ,harsh memories and bloody walls .

"Krystal , I don't think you need to think about this now ,forget what ever that has happened within this past few days and move on ."

No ,Laura .I simply can't forget anything that has happened .

I confronted the king ,spoke my mind to him without regret and told him how I will attack him from the front because I'm not afraid of him .

"Krystal ,don't you think this is risky ?"

No Sara ,it isn't .I have had enough of his torture .It's my turn to torture him as well .He killed his mistresses and I woke up soaked in their blood .

He questioned my wrath as a woman and he will see it very soon .

"My lady ,in case I forget ,the head herbalist , Rosalia left this letter behind you .She said it's important you read it ..."

Really ,but what could be in here ?

'We don't know ,they responded .'

But it seems it's of importance otherwise ,I wonder why Rosalia would personally come into your chamber and hand you over a letter .You both share no relation with each too ,Laura added .

Alright ,we will find out once I open up this letter , Krystal said opening it without wasting time .

"ELMY is alive and she wants to see you .Talk to Rosalia .

We want you to search for a lady named Laura and come with her ,she's a handmaiden .

ELMY ".

ELMY ?

Krystal quickly jumped out of her bed holding the letter tightly and at a point ,she stood still and shed tears .

ELMY was what she constantly uttered .

'Krystal ,what's wrong ?

Why are you shedding tears ?'

ELMY ....,Laura ,ELMY ....this is a secret message which was sent by Myel ,my sister .She's alive and that herbalist who dropped the letter here knows her whereabouts .

After so many years ,I will finally meet her again .

But how did you know that it's your sister ?

ELMY ;when we were kids ,we developed a special name for secret messages such that no one would trace us .

ELMY is my sister's secret name for messages . After so many years ,she has written this letter with her secret name .

So I know it's her Laura ,I know because I can feel it .

She didn't say much because she said I should speak to Rosalia but then ,this letter talks about someone else .

"Who is it ?"

'Laura .'

It says here that I should look for Laura who is a handmaiden and come with her .

For heaven's sake ,you are the only Laura I know here probably because I have less ideas about the identities of the other maidens in this kingdom .

Apart from the Laura we all know ,no hand maiden is called Laura in this kingdom ,Sara said .

Could it be your ..... , my sister 'and before Krystal could speak ,Laura interrupted with the thought that it could probably be her sister ' .

"Krystal ; Alexa shouted from behind with a letter in her hands and quickly the guards rushed into her chamber holding a sword at her neck because she entered forcefully but Krystal asked the guards to take their leave ."

'What is it, Alexa ?

What is the need to cause a scandal from your chamber into mine ?

If you are bothered about the handmaidens then you can speak because everything stays here ' .

'This is the reason ,she opened her hands and put it in ' .

What is it ? Krystal began opening it up .

*Yelly ,I need to see you along with my sister .

My sister is now in your kingdom ,she's my twin ,Krystal .

Talk to her now because we can't waste any more time .

Yelly is still alive ,Alex .*

'Krystal read the letter silently and passed it over to her maidens .'

*************

You lied to me that you are Myel ,my friend .That is why you couldn't properly respond to our conversation the last time .

I knew it ,there was something odd about you .

Enough Alexa ,enough .

Yes ,I pretended that I was Myel ,but that was because of desperation and frustration.

It's been seven long years since we got separated ,ever since then ,I have always been in search of her .

I did what I did because I'm a desperate sister looking for my reflection and you can't blame me for that .

This is not the time to fight ,I know that you want to escape from here too so instead of fighting me ,we should join hands and carry out this task.

Look ,she sent me a letter too ,apparently it turns out that my sister has Laura's sister too but we are not sure . We will be sure once we meet her .

"Once Alexa lifted up her head after reading this letter ,she saw Laura and was shocked by what she saw ."

Lauren ,she called out walking up straight to Laura who had her head up too .

No ,I don't want to make the same mistake that I made with Krystal so tell me ,if Myel has Lauren then ,who are you ?

"Laura ,her sister .Right from infancy ,we both got separated and I have been wanting to meet her.

The only thing my parents told me was that ,we really look alike but we are not twins ,instead she's my older sister ."

What a coincidence ?

Your sister is my friend ,I mean she's Myel's handmaiden but her friend as well .

I cannot be mistaking about this ,you actually look alike .

After so many years ,it seems missing sisters are finding each other once again.

The day I came visiting Krystal ,I didn't notice you and had you not lifted your head today too ,I wouldn't have seen you at all .

This is why we need to work together as a team Alexa .

Now that we are all hiding nothing ,there's no need to fight anymore about identities ,Krystal stated simply .

We move ,Sara said drawing her hands forward as the others dropped theirs on hers and silently gave a sigh to victory .
