Chapter 25- Blooming World

How couldn't he see that something was wrong.

He wanted to delve deeper but he was afraid of the answer.

Sigh!

It couldn't be helped, there was a saying that people in love could be blind and he was practically one of them.

She had carried out various experiment on his illness.

She discovered that the illness was okay at first but as time went on, the toxin spread to various important part of his body with the use of anthda.

Anthda is a fire type plant. Many people mistake it for a water type plant.

The Anthda flower has a purple stalk and an orange sepal with white petals. It has the form of a tulip 🌷.

...…..

They arrived at the North.

She held the map in her hands with a pencil behind her ears as she made various markings to places they had arrived at.

"Something is wrong with this place" Luna said as her eyes glistening with a rare light.

"What?"

"I don't know, but it should be dangerous"

"Oh"

"Alright.. it's not that we can't battle with it but we are in the witches territory"

"Are you going to collect only the clearance lotus flower?"

"Yes, anything?" he looked at her. He could also feel the dangerous aura surrounding the place.

"Hey, the losses will be 50:50, you agree right?" he turned his head to look at her. She had a big smile on her face and her eyes were shining.

"okay"after hearing the answer she wanted from him, she patted his shoulder as she stepped towards the entrance.

Vines and figs intertwined together. Moss and spirogyra were also on the floor, with the grasses which covered the floor that one was unable to know where to put his/her leg.

Luna eyes flashed, she picked up a stone and threw it towards the entrance first,

Traps which had been hidden immediately surfaced.

An army of arrows headed their way, she kept on looking at hidden mechanism as she studied them carefully while dodging.

Jason who was beside her, used various things to block most of the mechanisms.

"From what I can see, the person who built most of the mechanisms, including the poisoned arrow, the Bewildered fog (it's a fog that makes one loose his sense of direction, causing them to be mentally unstable before turning them into a dreamy state, were they are still alive but trapped in their fantasy), etc.. is an expert.

"If it was to be any other person who was pampered bin a green house were to come here, I bet they won't even be able to pass the army of arrows without being stained by blood or poisoned" she said her thoughts out loud while shaking her head.

Jason Robert who was beside her, looked at the way she talked and Shake her head like she was an old grandma talking about life.

They finally escaped the mechanism as they both arrived at a huge stone door.

Two unrecognized animal golems were placed before the door.

"It would take a while before we can figure out how to enter."

"yeah" a hidden tile which she had found using her divine eyes. It was hidden behind the vines.

She joined him to look around even though she had seen it.

"What is this?" she feinged ignorance.

She pushed the hidden tile on the wall with a stick.

Grrrr!

The wall turned and churned, as the gate gears began to change as it opened.

They both entered.

The gate closed after they had stepped into the place.

Murals of different things covered the wall.

There were some moss on the be wall and the floor.

The floor was made of different tiles.

"Wow, who the f**k built this place" she activated her Divine eyes.

She had gotten this skill when she visited the Blooming World.

She remembered how she had appeared in the Blooming World. On her first day she had gotten a younger brother.

The name of the world is nice but the world is especially toxic.

She had just appeared in a forest, when she arrived.

Run!

Bam! Bam!!

Thud!!

Thud!

It was a bloody and gory scene.

Bodies were sent flying.

She was still far from where the situation was occurring but because of her good eyesight, she could see things that most people can't see from miles away.

Luna turned her head and was ready to leave when the attackers left.

Luna looked at them, she squinted her eyes a little, because she noticed that they did not leave but rather they were being called to reinforce.

A lady clad in ancient dressing which was washed with blood was approaching her with a young boy of about thirteen years old (13 yrs).

"hmmm… quite interesting. I thought that this world was at least developed"

F**k!

"No internet, can I develop a stronghold here" she rubbed her head in frustration.

Her thoughts were quickly interrupted by the woman and child who had already approached her.

She would not usually involve herself in any disputes, especially when she knows not what was going on or how the system of governance and rules of how this place works.

"help, please… help me"

"You are?"

"Am the Empress maid in honour"

"So.."

She turned her head to look back, after seeing that she was safe for now, she began to speak.

She immediately kowtow.

"Please, help me take care of him" she begged as her head continued knocking on the floor.

The boy pursed his lips. After seeing with his own eyes on how his "loving" father killed his mother and was after him.

If not, he probably would not want to stay with a stranger.

Apart from his mother and his maternal family who treated him well, he did not have to come in close contact with strangers.

His tutors were strict with the training, for his every mistake had a punishment which was akin to being thrown into a boiling pot.

He hated his father.

He hated himself for not being strong, if not he won't be handed to a stranger.

He needed to become stronger and be able to adapt in various situations.

She glanced at the boy who had his lips pursed and his eyes which were incredible cold and calm.

'its like I Ve gotten a good seedling.

Since he has no one to care for him, she would train him to be her successor here before going back'

'Whatever resources she could get from this world, she would try to look for a way to transport it to her own world'

'But that would require manpower. Anyway till that day come'

"You don't know me and you are handing your prince to me, are you sure I won't touch him or are you just overconfident?"

The maid who was still on the floor raised her head and glanced at Luna.

"I can't say for sure, but I have no choice. Please"

While Luna was about to continue to question her, she was interrupted by an arrow.

Whiz!

Arrows were shot towards them, the maid had no strength to block it and died, but before she died.

She gave Luna a pleading eyes.

Luna nodded. She whisked the boy into her arms and disappeared.

When she disappeared, it stunned the attackers.
