Episode 5- The Book.

Without greeting or asking for permission daylight enters

through Rachel's room opening her eyes as if returning life to

her body; Getting up from the bed she walks until she's standing

in front of the mirror.

“No more!” she says

“I can't stay in this vicious cycle of mistakes that make me

look back to the past,” Softly slapping

her face. “This time I will have enough courage to get out of this darkness

by myself..”

Maids enter the room.

“Do any of you know where Mrs. Esther is?” Rachel asks.

“Mrs. Esther is at the royal library.” Silvia answers.

“Your majesty,” lowering her head.

“Please let your humble servants help you dress.”

Lucy says trying to adjust her dress.

Rachel dissatisfied moves away.

“I'm sorry, but I haven't given you permission to

touch me.”

Lucy's eyes widen. Realizing what Rachel’s words mean,

she quickly gets down to her knees lowering her head.

“Your majesty, if your servant has done something

wrong please punish her as you see necessary,” Lucy says.

Rachel sits down choosing her jewelry.

“Let me make this clear.” Standing up.

“If there is something that I can’t tolerate is when people

lie to me having said this, I won’t

allow people that I can’t trust near me.”

Silvia kneels beside Lucy lowering her head too.

“My lady, your servants understand their mistake,

please punish us as you see necessary.”

Rachel looks at them.

“I hope this is the last time I have to say this.”

The two maids look at her.

“But, you should know that to win my trust back,

you will have to start from zero.”

“Thank you, your majesty.” The maids say.

“For today I will dress,

but I would like you to help me do my hair.” Says Rachel.

“With pleasure,” Lucy says starting to do Rachel’s hair.

Once she is done, Rachel asks. “Could you take me to Mrs. Esther?”

“Of course, your majesty,” Silvia says.

After getting ready, Rachel and the maids head to the library.

Once Rachel enters, she sees the person she was looking for.

Esther greets Rachel politely “My dear, I'm glad to see you here.

I was just about to bring you some books. I

thought that you might be bored,

so I took the liberty to chose these ones; I hope they'll be to your liking. ”

Surprised, Rachel smiles warmly.

“Thank you.” Then clearing her throat

“The reason I was looking for you Mrs. Esther is to discuss some important matters.”

“It must be really important for you to come all the way here, please follow me this way, Dear” Esther responded

“Excuse me ...” talking to the maids

“but, I would like to talk to Mrs. Esther alone, please.”

“Yes, of course, your majesty.” The maids leave.

“I'm sorry if I'm overstepping my boundaries, but did something happen?” Esther asks Rachel.

Rachel looks at her “It's nothing important.”

“Excuse me for my lack of attention dear.

Please come with me, let's go to a more

private place.” Esther says as she starts walking.

Rachel follows her reaching a wall,

then Esther takes a book that opens a secret door.

“Wow,” Rachel whispers.

“What did you want to talk about?”

Esther says while grabbing a teapot to make some

tea.

“Mrs. Esther, I’m here because

I would like to request that you give me duties just

like everyone else.” The teapot falls to the ground.

Esther looks at her, curious while cleaning up the mess.

“But, Dear being the queen you don't have the need to do this;

it’s already enough with the help you provide. ” Preparing tea again.

“Mrs. Esther, you know too well I haven't and I can't accept the title of queen.

Furthermore, what help have I provided?

look I just don't want to stay here without doing

anything, let me do other things too, please.

It would make me feel better to

know that I am helping somehow. ” Rachel says.

My baby girl has grown up. Esther thinks.

Serving tea to Rachel,

“Let me consult this with the King and I’ll give you an answer.”

Excited she hugs Esther.

“Thank you very much, Nana.” Esther looks at her in shock,

Rachel notices “I’m sorry I was rude, I won't do it again.”

“What are you talking about? On the contrary, I am very happy Ami. ”

“Ami?” Rachel asks in confusion.

“It means loved by others,” Esther answers as she

drinks from her cup.

“Thank you.” Rachel says “Well I think it's time for me to leave.”

“Very well then, If you ever need something else remember that

I will always be there for any need you have; so never hesitate to ask.”

Esther says while Rachel leaves the room.

Rachel leaves the room deciding to take a look at the books found at the library.

While looking at the books, one of them catches her attention is a small story,

but that isn’t what makes her see it. Rachel takes the book titled “The Last

Dawn” and recognizes the bull that killed her kingdom. Without thinking twice

she takes it and heads to her residence.

Once in her room, she opens the book and starts reading.

Long ago there was a rich man who fell in love with a poor woman. Because their

economic situation was different they couldn’t marry formally. The man’s father

worried that his son already at the age of having a wife wasn’t married yet,

so he decided to form a contract for his son to marry his best friend's daughter.

The woman was very pretty, but in the heart of the man, there was only Julia.

The woman found out her fiancé was in love with another woman,

which made her furious. Angry she started to spread

rumors while her fiancé was traveling far away. Everywhere rumors could be

heard about Julia. Many said that she had made a pact with the devil [Which was

considered a sin] and that at night she would go out to kill without mercy. The

citizens frightened of the rumors being true decided to get together and burn

her alive. The morning in which the man returned he heard what the citizens had

done. Without hesitation, he rushed to look for his beloved, but in her place,

there were only ashes. Uncontrollable anger invaded his body which made him

ask for the greater devil himself to take his body and end the lives of all

those who had caused her death. The demon from the bottom of the depths heard

this and fulfilled his wish. Once the demon entered his body he became a huge

and fearsome bull with red eyes that couldn’t distinguish guilty from

innocent and killed everything around him. When the man came back to his senses

he saw what had happened and feeling guilty he took his own life.

The end.

Feeling disgusted Rachel threw the book away.

What is this? Clearly, this is just a

myth, but if this book is here ... with these beings that are able to use

magic it is possible that...

“Could it be that the true creature is among the people of this world?”

Rachel holds her chest.

My heart beats strongly again and I can't help the memories.

“No!!! Go away! This feeling ... I won't let you do it again.” she says with

difficulty.

Daniel feeling the energy without hesitation rushes to find her.

One of the maids enters Rachel's room ...

“Your majesty, we were looking for you everywhere.”

Says Lucy.
