Unwelcomed Visitor

A year and half went by fast and nothing had changed much in Princess Song's household aside from the fact that the ration comes smoothly every month and the smell of fresh strawberries that Xhemin and handmaid Lin harvested from the backyard. Princess Song's health had improved too but she stayed on bed most of the time and refused to step out as if nothing fun was waiting for her at the outside world.

"This is our second harvest ever since you planted the strawberries," Handmaid Lin uttered as she was washing the fruits in the kitchen. For the past two years, she had learned a couple of skills from Xhemin like cooking and farming. Nevertheless, even though there were always food on their table these days, living in the mountains with Xhemin and Princess Song burdened her heart especially that Princess Song was still acting sick. She might not be sick physically now yet, she was very weak emotionally.
