Chapter One Hundred & Twelve: Cursed Princess

A knock on the door interrupted the conversation between Evgenikós and Velma. As calmly as she could, she called out. "Who is it?"

"It is I Michael," the voice called out. "May I have a word with you, nurse Eve?'

"Of course," she answered. "I shall be right out."

She stood up from the floor beside the tub and then adjusted her nurse attire before stepping out the door. "What is the matter."

"I have been asked by my father to relay a message to you," he said, shifting pn his foot.

"Well then, go ahead."

"He said you should make sure she goes nowhere."

"I am aware of that, is that all?"

"Can I see her?" He questioned.

"No you may not."

"Please, I would like to have a word with her."

Evgenikós regarded him with a raise of her eyebrows then she turned round to face the door. Before opening it, she said, "Go back to the door."

"Where were we?" Evgenikós asked Velma.
