The Commoner Consort: The Country’s Respected Empress - Chapter 164
“I think we should check the kind man’s condition”.
Both found themselves abandoned in the whole fields. Everything around them felt eerily silent.
Maya nods slowly hearing Bhommi and looks around strangely “Why do I still feel the poison around me?”.
She still feels that weird sensation in her body about the threat. It’s still in same intensity.
Bhommi points Maya’s clothes that are drenched with Xavier’s blood “Perhaps his blood has the poison?”.
Maya shakes her head “No. It should have at least lessened when he left”.
She frowns at some thought and speaks “Look around. Find if anyone’s around here!”.
Bhommi flies above the ground at once in search of an unknown threat. She believes Maya’s words. If she says there is some threat then there is!
Maya too wanders around to find something with the intense sensation. As soon as she stepped away from the tree under where Xavier was lying, she felt the intensity reduced.
She starts stepping forward and backward alternatively to confirm her suspicion.
She finds herself weird doing this but she has to. She never hesitates to try changing the situations.
That’s why she decided to leave her country in the first place. She wanted to change her pathetic life. She also has the courage to survive through them too.
She walks towards the roots and finds the roots stained with Xavier’s blood. Then she starts stepping away circling the tree again and again. She bits her lip in a thought and walks ahead to the roots.
She forwards her hand and touches his blood on the root.
AH!!
She jumps back in bewilderment as soon as she felt a pang of heat hitting her body.
She felt as if she touched some burning fire. She couldn’t understand anything as she was busy rubbing her hand roughly on the ground to get rid of the blood. She didn’t even rubbed it over her dress as she truely felt that her hand caught fire.
Bhommi arrives slowly unaware of Maya’s panic yet “I don’t find anyone, Sister Maya. Nothing seems strange”.
Maya embraces her hand close to her chest and stutters “I-I just found one”.
Bhommi descends down to the ground. She notices Maya’s worried face and asks softly “Sister Maya? What happened?”.
Maya asks instantly as if she knows the answer “Is this tree poisonous?”.
Bhommi shakes her head “No. It’s a normal tree found all over this country and no one will die if they eat the leaves”.
Maya blurts instantly as she wants her thoughts to be true “What if we touch our open wound’s blood directly?”.
Bhommi frowns weirdly “Who would touch their wound on the tree?”.
Maya walks towards the tree and plucks a hand full of the tree leaves. She also scratches and breaks some barks near the roots with the help of a stone. She tears her layer gown further and starts dabbing it over Xavier’s blood on the trunk carefully.
She holds everything in her hands and starts running towards the Royal Palace in hurry.
Bhommi asks following her clueless “What are you doing?”.
She knows Maya is upto something but doesn’t know what exactly.
Maya shakes her head breathlessly while running and walking towards the Palace “I don’t even know yet. But I want to help Prince Xavier by any means!”.
Bhommi follows her silently. But she knows that Maya has her own reasons for her actions.
She didn’t hesitate to plunge that sword on her body before to stop herself from becoming a stone by that Cursed water. So, she knows that Maya will do anything that comes in her mind.
——
At the Royal Infirmary.
When Maya reached the Infirmary, she was taken aback by the hustle happening around the place.
Bhommi speaks “They are searching for something”.
Maya nods “Lead me to Prince Xavier’s sick chamber”.
Bhommi asks flying ahead “Do you think that man saw me?”.
Maya clears her throat and declares “He did”.
Bhoomi sighs “What happens now, Sister Maya?”.
Maya walks in hurry following Bhommi “I will think about that later. As for now, I have something important to do”.
“Your Highness! We still don’t know the poison behind this”.
Maya runs into the sick chamber immediately “I might help!”.
She pants stopping in front of the doctor, who was talking to Kalki.
Everyone was surprised by her sudden presence and even more astonished by her words.
Kalki turns his head towards the woman who just interrupted his talk and roars startling everyone “Get out!”.
Maya is stoned by his sudden outbreak and stands terrified. She expected his coldness but never this harsh one. She never saw him angry! He has been always cold and calm.
Kalki notices her hands with a menacing frown before glaring back her in the dead eye. He states sternly “Not now. I have a brother to save”.
The room’s temperature decreases in the intense situation and the doctors were completely shaking in worry. They don’t even know what Kalki might do if they really can’t save Xavier now.
They also know. If Maya’s words turn useless, then it will cause some apocalypse in this country.
Maya throws her all fear away and speaks staring him back “The poison might be anyone of these!”.
Kalki creases his eyebrows taking a look at those normal leaves and barks of a tree and hisses “Your madness will cost this crucial time and my brother too”.
He turns towards the doctor to speak further about Xavier’s state.
At this point Maya knows well that Kalki doesn’t want to listen as his brother’s life is at risk. She knows that she has to do something to make him listen.
Maya gulps before grabbing Kalki’s arm urgently “I can prove it”.
Kalki feels something as soon as she touched him and looks back at her strangely. He can sense her strong determination more than her words now.
Seeing her anticipating eyes, he could only say “Talk!”.
He doesn’t know why.
