AT THE GUEST'S CHAMBER.

Thaniya was taken to one of the room at the guest's chamber by one of the maids as she left the King's chamber. She was sitting on the floor at the room that she was, sitting at the centre and looking outside. The room was well decorated, candles were hanged everywhere and it was very beautiful. There was a small wood bed at a corner in the room for her, used a transperat cotton to cover the bed and used it to demarcated the room; makes the place as bedroom and others as living room.

One side of the door opened, a maid entered and closed the door very well. It was the same maid that had been attending to her since. Thaniya was just looking at her as she was walking closer to her and studying the environment and their behaviours.

"This is razor blade, use it to cut your nails" she said with low voice and put the razor blade on the floor at the front of Thaniya. The maid was scaring of her, thinking maybe she could harm her.

"Razor blade! Razor blade for nail cutting!" Thaniya said repetitions, and wanted to master the name that the maid just called it.

"Please do that. Your bath water has been on fire, I and other maids will be here soon to bath for you as Prince instructed us and dress for you. So I will be right back" Said with respect and leaving the room. Thaniya didn't say anything to that just looking at her going out of the room.

Thaniya took the razor blade on the floor as the door closed, holding it with her right hand and looking at it.

"I don't think I know how to use this" Said lowly, repositioned the razor blade and wanted to start cutting her nails.

She positioned the razor blade on top of the nail of her small figure, looking at it and wanted to cut the nail at the middle. She didn't had any idea of how to use the razor blade at all, just using it anyhow, using it filled the nail and also cutting it anyhow. Suddenly as she was doing all those nonsense, she cut her small figure that it was very deep and blood started coming out.

"Oh! I have cut myself here, let me try it on the second figure. I must know how to use it" She was just looking at the figure bleeding and didn't bother to do anything to it, since that she didn't use to feel pain. She didn't feel any hurt, and that was why she didn't have the knowledge of treating the wounds that she had immediately.

"Mother! How will I use it, this thing is hard to use" Asking her mother when she cut herself again on the second figure.

"Is it must you cut your nail since you don't know how to use it. I have always telling you about this your stupidity" Her mother said.

"I don't want to cut them because they were my weapons but all those people are looking at me somehow, so that is why I want to cut them a little" She said as was trying again to cut the nail of the middle figure.

Blood had full the floor that she was sitting on that her cloth had soaked with blood. Thaniya didn't worry about that just continued with what she was doing and wanted to learn how to use the blade.

"I will teach myself and know how to use razor blade, right Mom? It's razor blade right" Still talking to her mother.

Ha-Neul came out from a corner with his sword in his hand, just coming from the training ground and going to the guest's chamber to check on Thaniya. He was wearing a white pure cloth, just finished doing training with one of the armies. He wanted to see Thaniya, and went back to the training ground.

He climbed on the entrance of the room and wanted to enter when he saw Thaniya soaked with blood. He quickly opened the door with forced and ran inside.

"Oh my God! What is this?" He shouted and quickly collected the razor blade from Thaniya, and kneeling down on the floor with her. Thaniya had cut herself again and just looking.

"You really cut yourself deeply, are you Okay? Hope you are not feeling pain deeply?" He asked loudly and with a serious care.

"Pain! Pain!! What is that mean?" Thaniya asked with low voice, Ha-Neul raised his face up and looked Thaniya.

"What you feel as you cut yourself is pain. The hurt that you feel from your body when you have a cut is what means by pain. Firstly stand up from the blood and let the maid come and clean it" He said as he got up from the floor. Thaniya looked at him and got up as well.

"I don't feel anything, I am normal" Thaniya said with low voice as she sat down at another place. Ha-Neul carried a very small box on the table in the room and walked closed to Thaniya.

He sat down on the floor at the front of her and pened the box. It was different first aid treatments that were inside the box. He took a small cotton and took Thaniya's right hand.

"If I help you to treat them now you will be fine and they will heal fast" He said with low voice and clearing the wounds.

"Thank you very much!" Thaniya showed her appreciation.

"Why didn't you talk to us? Even we thought you don't know how to talk until you talked at the front of the King. We are really surprised at the King's chamber" Ha-Neul asked but Thaniya didn't reply.

"I will have to put this so that the wounds can heal on time and fast, so endure and let me do it. I know it will pain you" He opened the small bottle, poured a little spirit that was inside it on a cotton. He closed the bottle back and returned it back inside the small box.

"Should I do it? Even I must do it" He said with loud voice and held Thaniya's right hand back. He putting the cotton on the figures gently for her not to really feel the pain but Thaniya didn't.

Just looking at him like he was just playing with her fingers and just using a small cottonwood to mop her hand.

"Are you not feeling any pain? Because you don't do as if it's paining you as I am cleaning it" Ha-Neul forced out to talk.

"I don't feel any pain, Is it most to feel pain?" Ha-Neul was so surprised as Thaniya said this and looked at her.

"Did you mean you don't use to feel pain? Are you not a human being?" He asked with surprised.

"My mother said I am a human like all of you here, so if you are not human beings that means I too is not" Replied with low voice.

Sound of the door opened and two maids entered, standing at the entrance and looking at them.

"We are here for your bath young lady" One of the maid said.

"I will go now, be free okay and don't try to do that stupid thing again. Not most to cut your nails" Ha-Neul said as he got up from the floor.

"Please one of you should clean the blood, she cut herself" Ha-Neul said with low voice and leaving the room. The maids entered inside properly; one of them started setting the bathtub for Thaniya when one left the room to take rag and bowl that she could use to clean the blood on the floor.

"Well done! My name is Choon-Hee and I am a senior maid here, nice to meet you and see you here" A young maid that was setting the bathtub said with smiles and trying to be nice to Thaniya.

"I am Thaniya, and thank you for your kindness" Thaniya too replied with smiles as the maid was smiling at her.

"Thaniya! Remember what I told you that trust no one" Thaniya heard her mother's voice loudly.

"That girl Is my friend's daughter that betrayed me to the hand of the Queen, Choon-Hee is the only child she had. She too is now the Queen's messenger, working for the Queen. So any questions she maybe asking you, don't reply her because she is sent by the Queen to know who you are" Her mother told her.

"Really mother, so she is not trying to be nice for nothing. But does Queen knows that she is your friend's daughter?"

"Yes! Even she is the one that brought her up so that she can be working for her, don't trust her at all. The early you know now, it better for you Thaniya. Very soon I will go and won't able to guard you again; it's you that will be guarding yourself so be careful"

"I heard you mother" Said with her mouth closed.

"Know how to play it, don't let her know that you have heard anything about her. Just know how to play it even you can be close to her since you have know who she is; just be playing along if not you won't be able to win"

"I understand you very well mother and I get it well" Thaniya said as she was looking at the girl.

"I can take you round the palace and Kingdom because I heard that you don't know anywhere" Said with smile. Choon-Hee was white in complexion, had a long brown hair and beautiful.

"I will love that" Thaniya replied and she too as wanted to take her closer so that she could be getting information from her. The maid that was cleaning the blood got up from the floor and going out.

"You don't cut your nail again? Or I should help you as you are taking your bath?" The girl asked.

"I don't know how to cut it, so I cut myself" Thaniya said.

"I will help you then" Continued with what she was doing and Thaniya was looking at her with a looks.

"She really knows how to manipulate people and she will know everything she wants to know about the person or a secret. Just like her mother" Thaniya's mother said. Thaniya was just looking at Choon-Hee and planning on how to play along with her.

Sound of the door opened by the first maid, entered with a well covered bowl that a body treatment was inside it for Thaniya. Choon-Hee too had done with what she was doing.

"So undress now, new cloth is here from the Prince and said that you should wear after dressing up" The maid was talking and didn't look down.

"All the body treatment has been here----" she stepped on the floor that the maid just cleaned and very wet. The maid lost her stability and wanted to fall. With the direction that she was, if she fell like that she was going to injure seriously even she may die.

Thaniya jumped from where she was sitting with a monkey's skill and with a high speed. She held the maid's two hands and two of them landed on the bed. Choon-Hee was so surprised including the third maid, just standing at the door and unable to enter. Two of them were so surprised with the way Thaniya jumped.

The maid and Thaniya raised up after few seconds on the bed as they were laying down there, the maid looked at her body and got down from the bed.

"Thank you very much Thaniya!" The maid showed her appreciation.

"You are welcome!" Thaniya said as she got down from the bed, off her cloth, remains only pant and leaving the place.

"Thank you for that Thaniya!" Choon-Hee said but Thaniya didn't replied just entered into the bathtub. The first maid walked closed and started bathing for Thaniya. The second maid was given them the body treatments that they could need.

"I don't think I can jumped like that, Where do you learn that from Thaniya or you are a fighter?" Choon-Hee asked as she was cutting Thaniya's nails.

"Don't cut the hand's nails , I really need them" Thaniya said.

"Need them for what? Do you have anybody in the jungle that taught you how to fight? Also is it nails that serve as your own weapon?" Thaniya looked at her and didn't reply. Choon-Hee looked at her and stop talking.

After some minutes. Thaniya came out from the bed side putting on the cloth that the Prince gave her and looking more beautiful. She just finished taking bath, they had treated her long hair, cop it and also styles it.

"Take a look at yourself" The maid said and pointing a mirror at Thaniya and her too was looking at herself.

"Wow! Mummy, I look more beautiful than before" Thaniya said with smiles and talking to her mother.

"The Prince said that I should bring you to his chamber, so let's go" The maid held Thaniya's hand and taking her out from the room.

The second maid and Choon-Hee too followed them, walking behind them and leaving the room.
