Episode 10

"Well, you're doing well Jim, I need you to let it all out, no problem, keep going, you're doing well-"

They were all more than astonished at what was happening, the pretentious girl who looked down on everyone until a few weeks ago, was now in the soldiers' quarters, healing one of them, while holding her bucket with everything that poor man threw up... One of the soldiers ran away in disgust, while another told me

"Miss, let me hold it for you."

"There's no need, go tell the cook to prepare a very light soup for this soldier, after this he'll be weak and needs to eat something."

She stayed like that for a while, until she finished removing everything from the soldier's insides, I took the bucket and gave it to Doris to get rid of it, while I grabbed a damp towel and a basin of water and wiped his face, poor man was destroyed...

"How do you feel?"

"Better, but weak."

"Perfect, I'll make you another medicine, this time it won't make you vomit. I'll leave you with my sister, she'll help you eat the soup, I'll go prepare something for Jim at the greenhouse... Come on, Doris."

"Yes, miss."

You could hear how everyone was speechless, more than amazed, I would say.

The best thing about this place is that since my sister has been interested in medicine since she was very young, my father had this greenhouse built for her medicinal plants, I'll be able to find what I need. After preparing Jim's medicine, this time he won't vomit, I gave it to Doris to take to him.

Since I was already there, I took the opportunity to prepare medicine for the Emperor's body. During these weeks, I've been doing more research on herbs and had to adapt my herbal knowledge from my previous life to what I find here...

Once finished, the question was how to reach the Emperor, it was difficult for me to reach the stupid prince, and it will be even harder to reach someone more important.

As I walked back to my room, the sun had already set, and I saw Paula talking to the cook, so I hid behind a column to listen.

"That girl already figured it out, Marcos, if I keep withholding her allowance, she'll rat us out at any moment."

"Paula, that brat is stupid, she still believes that her parents ignore her and don't even give her an allowance, she's just spoiled because the little prince doesn't pay attention to her."

"You think so?"

"Yes, just relax."

I wondered where my allowance was going, I wanted to go shopping, but I couldn't because I didn't have any money. Tomorrow the dukes are coming, it will be time for my parents to know what kind of vixen they left their daughter with...

When I arrived in my chamber, I was thinking about how to contact the Emperor, so I came up with a slightly crazy idea, but I hope it works. I still had my maid disguise, the peculiar thing is that each clothing is unique in each part, for example, the palace maids wear a black and red uniform with the palace emblem, in the duchy they wear a white and blue one, distinctive colors of the duchy. Tomorrow, first thing in the morning, I'll try my luck.

The next day, I trained a bit first, then I prepared myself and even made some cookies with the medicine, it tastes really bad, so it's better to mix it with something sweet.

However, before I could leave through the window of my room, I felt someone grabbing my arm.

"I knew you were up to something, mom put me in charge so you wouldn't do anything stupid."

"Hey, I'm not doing anything wrong."

"What are you doing dressed like that? That clothing is from the palace, who did you bribe?"

"No one, I don't have any money."

"What do you mean you don't have any money? That doesn't matter, you're not going anywhere."

"What I have to do is important, I swear I won't get into trouble."

"Are you going after that idiot again?"

"No, I swear I'm not."

"Then what?"

"I can't say..."

"If you don't tell me, you're not going."

I looked at her for a few seconds, I haven't trained enough to make her faint, so hitting her wasn't an option...

"Well, I give up, I'll tell you, but swear to keep it between us."

I told her almost the whole truth, after all, she was my sister and she was never bad to me, just a bit foolish, but she never betrayed me. She was one of those who would beg for mercy and take my place at the guillotine.

So, I told her that I almost did something foolish, but that I thought better of it. When I was hiding to leave the palace, I crossed paths with the emperor and he helped me escape. Now, I wanted to repay the favor by bringing him some cookies that I had baked in the morning. Just that, nothing strange. Just bring the cookies and return. When I finished, my sister looked at me surprised.
