2 Keeping promises

"Majesty. Please, what's wrong with our child. She keeps crying and doesn't want to be quiet even though she has been given milk to drink".

The Empress is even more restless because she doesn't want anything to happen to her daughter whom she has been waiting for twenty years.

King Alric rushed to summon the royal guard in panic.

"Guards! Please call the royal doctor, say I called him". King Alric's orders.

The bodyguard immediately ran to call the royal doctor.

Not long after, the doctor arrived, without being ordered to carry the baby. He knew immediately that the baby's crying was a bad sign that was about to happen. But the royal doctor who was skilled in all these things tried to hide what he knew.

He immediately took out his equipment to examine the baby, after which he gave the baby medicine, medicine that can be consumed by the baby and it was homemade. With a little supernatural power he blew out the medicine before it was put into the baby's mouth.

After the medicine was given, the baby was silent at once.

"What's wrong with my daughter?". Asked the king of Alric with worry.

"Oh, nothing noble. Calm down my lord, she won't cry fretfully like this again". Obviously the doctor who doubles as a shaman in the palace.

The doctor tried to cover up what he knew, so that the king and his queen were relieved.

The Empress lays the baby on a mattress with a pillow wrapped in a clean white cloth.

A few days later.

Since that day's events, the empress has been insisting that the king pay his promise in front of the forbidden forest which is to the east of the kingdom.

The empress's heart was always restless and uncertain, finally on the appointed day. The king invited the empress and several palace servants to go to the border of the forbidden forest.

Forest of prohibition.

From behind the large trees, a magician who had come before them appeared with a very loud laugh.

But she was disappointed when she saw the goods brought by the Alric King, he did not make a grand offering, he only brought food and fruits that they used to eat in the Palace, that was not the best.

The offering was very different from what King Zevan had done.

The witch disappeared from before them before she was seen in great disappointment.

The witch imagined that she would be bathed in gold and luxury goods made of the finest silk.

To get rid of her disappointment, she hid behind the trees again while waiting for the right time to let out her anger.

Today the sky above the border of the forbidden forest is very clear and cloudless, only a gentle breeze blows gently against the faces of those who have sat cross-legged facing two large trees that are believed to be the entrance to the forbidden forest.

Not long after that, the king ordered his guards to slaughter two thin sheep.
