Episode 8

When we finished the meal we retired to our bedrooms, I was exhausted, I have to check my wounds, they started to hurt again, if I remember correctly, there was a girl who was close to my age and was in my group of maids, she was the only one I didn't like, because she spoke well of my family, that is the only one worthwhile.

I called Paula

"What is the name of the new girl my father hired?"

"Doris Miss?"

"Yes, she, call her, I want to talk to her."

"But miss, I am here to serve you."

"I'm not in the mood today, if you don't want me to talk to my father about how you stole my food so far, just bring Doris to me...."

She was stunned, she never thought I would notice, she looks at me.

"Not me, miss, how can you say such a thing?"

"Go away before I regret it."

"Yes, Miss-"

He could be seen walking away as he clenched his fist and insulted me under his breath, what an idiot I was for trusting this harpy.

After a while, the girl knocks on the door.

"Permission Miss-"

"He called me?"

\Yes, come in, I need you to bring me some herbs, which you will find in the greenhouse laboratory.

"But miss, I don't know the herbs by name."

"Don't worry, can you read?"

"Yes, I was given a basic education here."

Thanks to my parents who force them to study, they say that they leave them prepared for life, if they don't know how to read, they could easily mistake poison for medicine. My parents are very wise

"Bien, I'll write the name and you look them up and just bring a little bit of each thing I ask for, I can't go, otherwise I would-."

"Okay, miss, I'll do my best."

I hope you can find everything, I wrote down the name of each herb I needed to make a salve for my aches and pains.

It took him a while, but he brought the herbs and a mortar that I asked him to make the mixture, once it was done, he helped me undress and bathe, I was already in too much pain.

When she finished preparing my bath, she took off my dress, when she saw me naked she screamed in horror, because I was all bandaged and a bruise was slightly visible on my right side and the bandage on my ankle was just visible when I was naked.

"Shut up girl-"

"Sorry, but what happened to you, did you call a doctor?"

"No, no one must know, help me to take everything out, I must check myself, take these flowers in the bathroom that will alleviate my pain, I need you to help me because this hurts like hell."

"Well, but I still think she should be seen by a doctor."

She helped me to get to the bathroom, once I was immersed in the warm water, the flowers began to calm my pain a little, so I started to check myself, well the ankle is just a sprain, a few more days and I'll be fine, just bandage and my ribs to see... every touch hurt, Doris just looked at me without knowing what to do, until I make a smile between tears

"Well Doris, I have good news, I didn't break my ribs, the bad news is that my muscles suffered a small crack, you will have to help me to bandage them... but in a few days I will be fine."

"Well, miss, if you say so...."

"From now on make sure you serve me, I don't want anyone else to know about this, got it?"

"Yes, my lady, as you say-"

So the weeks went by, I hardly left my room, only to eat with my sister, I could not train because I needed to heal, that will take more time, when the third week came that I returned to my old life, I felt that my wounds almost did not hurt, so I decided to start training my body.

I went out to run around the mansion for a while, no one paid much attention to me, they thought it was some way to get the prince's attention or something....

The one who was surprised was my sister and the gentlemen training that day, but no one said anything. Anyway, I couldn't do much, damn out of shape body, I was so agitated and I only ran one lap, damn idle....

While I was resting under a tree and Doris was bringing me some water, my sister approached me.

"You ran too little, you are weak."

"I know, tomorrow I'll run two laps, I can't do any more today."

"idle-Tch idle-"

"Do you want to fight sister?"

Before we argued, a soldier approached and spoke to my sister.

"Miss, the soldier's condition is worsening, forgive my boldness, could you see him?-"

She looked at me with a half-smile, I'm not sure if she's teasing me or if this is just her personality, it's all a mystery to me, as I never really knew her.

"Well, my sister has been practicing, let's have her give the first diagnosis-"

"Alright, let's go-"

"Are you really going to see him?-"

"Yes, I told you I would accompany you and you wanted to see what you had studied for...-"

We both went to the rooms where the gentlemen of the family were, everyone was surprised to see me there, it was the first time I had gone, many only greeted my sister, but I didn't mind, as I had done nothing to make these gentlemen take me seriously.
