Chapter 57

"... And yet again, the journey which ended has began."

.

By the corners of the corridor before getting into the main hallway of the castle, two maids quietly whispered sone rumours. Their words measured, and eyes scanning through.

The first maid, spoke up, "... I'm sure you must be aware of what has being going on in the kingdom?"

"Surely!," replied the second maid, her hands wrapping tightly on the basket she held, "One which is mostly famous would be the dragon of the mountains... And the other is the incident of two maidens drained from their blood!.."

The first maid leaned closer, "... Exactly! And there were bite marks on their necks.... The guards tried to hide the details from the curious eyes of the passerbys... But as we all know, 'A Small Cup cannot hold the Sea..'; People around would be able to pick up two or more words from the incident."
