Peace Offering To The Cursed Prince

Jeffery and One moved into action, Jeffery looked for the Royal physician, while One arranged for men to check another possible location outside Avalo and within.

It did not take long for them to arrive at the cave but to their surprise the fall at the mouth of the cave was heavy and also the small stream was moving in fast pressure.

"This?" Jeffery felt frustrated, if he had not visited the palace retailer he would have thought there was a cave much less taken a step forward.

The pressure was too high, if it was just for Jeffery to enter the cave a pick the herbs it will have been fine but this time they needed to get two young cows inside to perform the right before they could pick the herb.

"We would have to wait," the Royal Physician said. Jeffery was impatient but there was nothing he could do. They waited close to two hours before the far calm now by this time, it was already evening.

The water was still heavy but Jeffery manage to move inside with the cows, the physician also followed with the help of the guard. Since the cave was already dark they had to put on the oil lamp to be able to identify the herb.

"This is indeed the awakening herb," the royal physician was surprised. He did not believe Jeffery's words when he heard that the Queen had identified the awakening herb before she had an accident.

The awaking herb was very rear and very few people have seen what it looks like. So how could a princess who knew nothing about herbs identify it? This herb was so special and rare, a lot of people give up in their family if this herb was the last option, yet the herb has grown in a commonplace like this.

To the physician, this was a miracle and the best part of it, was that the Queen recognized it, even if he does not know her method, she had saved her life unknowable.

"Of course, did I not tell you earlier that the Queen identify it," Jeffery said. The physician nodded his head, grateful that his mother has taught him not to condemn without evidence.

Ah! If he had spoken his thoughts earlier he would have definitely offended the Queen. The physician got to work and perfume the right before carefully picking up the herb.

After picking the herbs they got ready to leave,  but they were stopped by the increase of the pressure of the water.

"Do we have to wait for two hours again?" Jeffery was dissatisfied.

"Yes, even if we have to wait all night we should do that, luckily it will not be too late to feed the Queen the herb in the morning," the Royal physician said.

Jeffery did not bother to argue, if they really waited the whole night then his punishment will be worst.

Many people may not know this but Jeffery's deed, he was not even willing to wait a few more minutes, talk more of the entire night.

"Let me have the herb," Jeffrey said stretching his hand. The physician was surprised by Jeffery's impatience.  luckily, the herbs they harvested this time were enough to treate two people, so he shared them into two and handed one half to Jeffery.

"It will not get worse when it comes in contact with water right?" Jeffery asked.

"No, as long as you do not lose it to the river," the physician replied.

Jeffrey nodded his head, before heading the herbs in the small animal skin bag he was carrying, then he tied the back to his waist and left.

"Do you think he will make it?" the Roya physician asked the guard left with him.

The guard shook his head, "I am not sure, but given his situation, it will be best he dies trying to get these herbs to the palace than if something happens to the Queen," the Guard replied.

As soon as Jeffrey step out, he allowed himself to follow the pressure and fell into the river. The pressure was higher than he anticipated but he tried to swim.

Avalo royal palace.

Sebastian remain seated and observed Ellen after he instructed Jeffery. Lady Magret calm over to visit and find out what happened. Sebastian let her in.

"Mother, can you do something about this?" Sebastian asked seeing that she was looking at Ellen.

"Let me take a look, but if you can not do anything about this, I doubt I will be any different," lady Magret said.

Sebastian took a deep breath to calm himself, 'even if Mother is unable to do anything, there is still the awakening herd she will be fine,' Sebastian murmured to comfort himself.

Lady Magret took her time to examine Ellen, she tried a couple of spells but it did not work.

"I think something happened to her when she fell into the water, hopeful the awaken herbs will arrive in a few hours..." Lady Magret frowns her brows.

When Sebastian heard this fear gripped his heart. "Mother, the physician said that as long as we find the awaken herbs in two days she will be fine," Sebastian informed.

"No," lady Magret shook her head. "She is too weak if she is not fed the herbs within three hours at the most..." Lady Magret could not bring herself to complete her statement.

"No," Sebastian lost his composure, if he knew she did not have much time to wait for the herbs he would have gone to search for the herb himself.

Lady Magret pinned her lips she could not bear to see him like that. "Mother, she is just unconscious because of lack of breath in the water," Sebastian said.

"Hmm, but without breath how do you expect her to live. Her body is suffering from alle of air, something has blocked her nose, the spell we have both used are not useless but once its time expires she will die. hopeful the herb will arrive on time clear the part," Lady Magret said.

"Then what should we do,?" Sebastian asked. He was not confident that the herb will arrive in three hours. He also knew that if the spell will be effective more than once his mother would have said so. Death was a strong force to fight.

"A temporary solution is to find a way to get air into her body," lady Magret replied.

"Then I will help her breath," Sebastian declared.

Lady magret: help her breath.... What is that?
