next day rusi and I prepared a disguise out fit to help us blend with the crowd today was visiting day when some of our attendants visit their families spend three days with them and return on the fifth day ,I went to pay my respects to the queen along with my sister and rusi ,who didn't forget to remind me of the Chinese umbrella and how she will make sure the servants find it before sunset ,I smiled and assured her that she will definitely find it because it not with me we had breakfast with Mom and while we were eating she begged to be excused as she has a lot of duties to attend to with that she took her leave. I retired into my chamber I had a female attendants who was good at imitating writing and drawing duplicate the letter and the writing on the umbrella for me ,rusi and I after changing into peasants clothes sneaked into the line of those leaving the palace at the gate we were almost caught but luck or lock I wouldn't say helped us escape once we left the palace we hired a horse and rode to the city's capital markets we got there at noon and wondered from store to store in the books sellers section I search of someone who could interpret the letter we were directed to a Persian trader who lived in the han during his childhood that he should be able to recognize the letters we had little difficulty finding him he asked us for two gold coin which rusi refused it felt like a cool deal to me I gave him the coins he then asked for the paper which i presented to him after close observation said it an Asian alphabet but he can't interpret the message but he has someone who can interpret the letter that in six days time we should return that he will have it ready I begged him to make it confidential which he agreed to I left the note with him I left there partially fulfilled because at least I know who sent the letter but I had to wait another six days to know it's content it was getting dark rusi and I rode hurriedly to the palace only to notice that we were been followed I initially thought it was my imagination untill they took every turn we took rusi was already in panic I tried to loose them and won was happy and relaxed that I lost them when suddenly our horse was hit from the front suddenly we fell before I could ride to my feet eager hands grabbed rusi and I I struggled with them a substance was used on me and I passed out the only things I heard was rusi's screams for help after a few hours I opened my eyes every where was dark and I was moving rusi and I where tied inside a carriage thanks for The Little lantern lit I was able to see my darling rusi in front of me
