In a small palace in the Uthaman region the Duke's entourage had just arrived from the trip. There was no strange sight other than a foreign woman who was brought in by the Duke and placed in the guest room. Not only that the Duke told the servant to call the best healer who used to take care of the members of the kingdom.
" his highness the physician has come" reported his bodyguard.
" have you checked on that woman?" ask Duke.
" it's still not finished, your majesty"
" let the kitchen waiter prepare a meal that will restore energy and give it to the woman"
" well noble" the bodyguard was half in disbelief, but still went into the kitchen.
" you prepare nutritious food to restore energy.do not long"
" what a noble experience something." the voice of the gentle woman flowed from behind the body of the bodyguard.
" the concubine.." All gave praise to the Duke's concubine who apparently stood not far from there.
" no concubine, this food is for the lady that your majesty brought" replied the bodyguard who did not filter his sentence. The man was unaware of who his interlocutor was.
" his majesty brought a woman? tumben once" replied the concubine who immediately realized the stupidity of the guard.
" she's just a stupid country woman who happens to suffer a crime and the noble one just helps her" obviously the bodyguard did not want any misunderstanding.
" where is that woman now?" ask concubine
" in the guest room, concubine Thalasa"
The woman in beautiful clothes immediately turned around and went to meet the first woman brought by her husband.
" the wound is quite a lot, starting from a head that is worse than others, then bruises on the shoulders, torn wounds on the palms and small wounds on the legs and temples. I've all been treating"
" what's it like?"
" not yet noble"
the conversation was clearly heard by concubine Thalasa who was standing outside the room. He was calming his hunting breath when Emrick brought a woman to his palace.
" noble one" said concubine Thalasa directly in.
" cubine.., "congratulations healer.
" your highness." praised concubine Thalasa to Duke Emrick.
" i heard if there was a woman injured here" he continued in the calmest possible tone.
" yes, he was a victim of bandits" Emrick replied needlessly at length.
" what a pity, then how is it now?" Thalasa pretended not to know, even though he heard it just now.
" it's not too bad, you take it easy"

" this noble one is the dress you asked for" the waiter had just come with a tray full of women's clothes with a thin cloth.
" let me change her clothes" concubine Thalasa picked up the tray after Emrick nodded softly.
Afterwards everyone came out and left only Thalasa and Falla in the room. Thalasa approached the bed. stared at Falla's face intently.
" very good" said the woman. Only then did Falla change clothes with a gaze scrutinizing all over Falla's body.
" his skin is very smooth and clean" he softly admired the poignancy of Falla's body. Only this first did he see a woman with no scars, her body smooth as porcelain. If these new injuries are not there, then you can make sure Falla is beautiful without blemish. A little envious of his heart, lest the woman before him this will make Emrick turn away.
" the concubine." said the waiter as Thalasa walked out of the room.
" what is this?" tanya Thalasa saw the waiter bring a tray filled with tonic and a bowl of food.
" his Majesty asked us to wait until Princess Farfalla woke up and served him"
" who? princess Farfalla? that woman's a princess?" thalasa asked in disbelief. Wasn't the Duke's bodyguard saying that she was only a village woman.
" yes, concubine."
" his Highness said she was a princess?"
" yes concubine" Thalasa's heart grew even more burning. The woman received a lot of attention from the Duke. He who as his concubine is very rarely noticed. Even when he was sick Duke Emrick just told him to rest. It's different with this new woman. The man even bothered to call the royal physician.
" yes it is" Consort Thalasa immediately left. He could not resist the jealousy.
It was getting late, Falla began to wake up. He opened his eyes and looked around. He changed places again, Falla was no longer anxious. He has experienced this kind of thing often. Fainting and waking up in a foreign place.
" isshh. ssttt" groans Falla while trying to move her body. Many parts of his body are sick.
" daughter." The waiter came in and found Falla who was conscious.
" what did you .. call me?"
" daughter of Farfalla, my goodness did I make a mistake?"
" no, it's not. How do you know my name?"
" his Majesty told us to call you, daughter of Farfalla"
" oh, help me stand up. I want to see the Duke"
Falla shifted to the edge of the bed to make it easier to get down.
" daughter, your condition is still weak. His majesty told you to rest first" the servant held Falla's body from descending.
" no, I have to thank him"
Falla insisted, she did not feel good to have troubled the man. Not to mention because his identity was open he also did not want if the Duke gave information about his whereabouts. Falla had to ask the Duke to keep this a secret.
" but your daughter.."
" i did, help me" Falla with the servant papah walked slowly out of the room to the Duke's palace section. All eyes were staring at Falla, who was a stranger. All of the Palace was aware of the news that the Duke had brought a woman back this time. Of course this raises many issues and news circulating among the servants and palace residents.
" is this the place?" falla asked the waiter who stopped in front of a large door.
" yes princess"
tok tok tok tok
" noble" said Falla.

" why are you here?" the bodyguard who had just returned to see Falla in front of the Duke's room in a dress thinner than a dress in general immediately panicked. The bodyguard did not know if in front of him this was a Royal Princess.
" i want to see the Duke"
" you always cause trouble..."
kink, czech,
the door suddenly opened from inside.
" his highness" all instantly gave flattery.
" what is this? "
" i want to meet you" replied Falla with a polite gesture, he was used to the royal system so that his body immediately reflexed.
" get in"
Falla entered with still on the servant's papah.
Inside the room was so neat and spacious. The Duke sat on a chair in the living room.
" i would like to thank the Duke for helping me" Falla's voice softened.
" no need to thank you, this is just regular help"
" i also want to ask you something"
" what is that?"
" because the Duke already knows my identity, I beg the Duke to keep this matter a secret from my kingdom as well as others"
This speech made Emrick pause for a moment. He stared at Falla within, the woman still lowered her head. He began to suspect that maybe the woman in front of him was lying to him.
" why?"
" there are some reasons I cannot explain to the Duke"
tap tap tap
Emrick moved and walked closer to Falla.
suddenly a thick robe wrapped around the woman's small body. Falla looked up in surprise. Unexpectedly his face was very close to Duke Emrick.the two stared at each other, Falla immediately pounded.
" your dress is too thin to be worn outside" Emrick said expressionlessly.
" ah yes" Falla misbehaved and immediately pulled Emrick's cloak to keep from falling.
