Chapter sixty four

Lauren ,trust me ,this plan to allow the maidens escape is the best plan .We won't fail this time around .

"I trust you Myel ,I will call the maidens in ...."

*They entered in their numbers and Myel made them sit comfortably in her hall * .

My trusted maidens ,you have all proven how loyal you are to me from the day I arrived into this kingdom till today .

It is said that every good deed deserves a reward and so it is finally time to receive your rewards .

Lauren ,kindly hand over the treasure box to me .

"Here you go ...."

Thanks Lauren .This box contains the treasure that I have kept for you all .I will share it accordingly .

*She shares packages containing the gold coins to her handmaidens * .

'This much ? ,one maiden said .

Yes this much because after you get out of this kingdom ,you will need it to better your lives outside the kingdom .

I know you all have your minds settled on where you will go to after you escape from here and that's why the time has finally come for us to reap what we sowed .

We sowed our efforts and our dignity but now we will reap our freedom .

"Are we finally going to escape from here ? Connie asked " .

Yes Connie ,we will finally escape from here because the right time has come .

All of you who are gathered here will go first then later Lauren and I will join you to prevent any suspicions .

"So what's the plan then ,my queen ? "

Poison ....

*Poison ? ,they asked in shock but Lauren interrupted and began to explain everything to them *.

'I know you are all shocked by what you heard but this plan is nothing dangerous or risky because we have ways we will curb it .

We all know that ,the only way for a maiden to leave this kingdom is death .

That is why in order to escape from here ,you will need to die .

You will escape from here by faking your deaths .

Once you pretend to be dead ,your bodies will be thrown into the stream which flows twenty kilometers from this kingdom to the outskirts of the kingdom .

It is then that you will be able to escape from this place .

"Lauren ,how will this be possible ? "

'Calm down Connie ,it's just simple .You will have to poison the food been brought to this chamber .

We will all consume a portion of the food but we won't get affected by the poison .

This herb is a special herb which neutralises poisons in the body .

Aside neutralising poisons ,it gives you the symptoms of food poisoning .

Once the food is poisoned ,we will add this special herb to it to neutralise the poisons .

Once consumed ,you will feel dizzy for twenty minutes .

The dizziness will cause you to pass out because the herb will take away the poisons from your body .

Once it's done with it's job ,you will come back to being normal .

From the kingdom to the stream in which your bodies will thrown into will take forty minutes .

Out of this forty minutes ,thirty minutes is for your pass out and then ten minutes is for your pretence .

Once you are thrown into the stream ,you will swim to the outskirts of Ulka kingdom and you will be received in the cave by the woman who helps us out .

For your own safety ,you will be there for some time until we join you there . Don't worry ,the royal herbalist is on our side .We have negotiated with her so all you will have to do is to follow our plan .

So tell us ,are you in or out of our plan because our queen will also form part as a victim of this poison just so that ,there are no suspicions raised about your fake deaths .

If you are in ,then let me see your hands up to show your support .

*Every one of her maidens stood in support of their plan so Connie who was the head cook left with her maidens to put their plans into action. *

"Don't worry Myel ,everything will fall into place ....."

I hope so to ,Lauren .

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

The whole kingdom of Ulka did not wake up to hear good news as it was spread around the whole kingdom and outside the kingdom that ,Queen Myel and all her servants had been poisoned .

Once the king heard about it ,he rushed to Myel's chamber to see her along with her servants all down battling for their lives .

"Royal herbalist ,do something about this,the king cried out ."

*After a while ,the royal herbalist came out of her chamber with the results and announced it .*

'My king ,I tried everything I could but I could only save the queen and one of her maidens .

The rest have passed away from the food poisoning .

Her cook was also part of those who passed away my king .'

Guards ,he called out in his deep toned voice ,throw the lifeless bodies of the servants into the stream and inform some handmaidens to clear up the queen's room .

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

*The bodies of the handmaidens were thrown into the stream and as soon as the task was done ,the guards left .

Once they left ,the maidens woke up from their pretence *

"We are finally free ,Connie shouted along with her friends and together they hugged each other and swam to the stream on the outskirts of Mugal kingdom .

*Come in ,the lady in rags invited them into her cave .Myel informed me about the plan so I prepared these herbs for you .

Have them while it's hot ,it's for your own healthiness ,she said serving them.

Don't worry ,you are all save .This cave is covered with thick bushes and so no one knows that something like this exist .

If you are done drinking ,you can grab some rest ,today has been such a tough day for all of you .

" Thanks ma'am ,Connie said " .

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

After Myel woke up ,she was offered a herbal tea by Lauren who had already woken up and had her tea .

"It was a success Lauren ,they hugged each other as their plan was just perfect ."
