Chapter Four: Is she from Novoland?

Prince Hassan hurriedly carried Ameera to his chambers though it was a taboo. He didn't care.

"Send for the physician I want him here at once. Tell him it is urgent and let him be fast" he said to one of his servants serving at his court.

"She's looking so the weak" he lamented.

"My prince, you don't have to be worry she will be fine the physician will be here soon," Rayan said.

Samiha's thoughts are occupied with fear, not for herself but for the fragile lady lying on the prince's bed.

She is anxious that Ameera might get in trouble if words get to the king or queen about her being carried to the prince's inner chamber simply from being punished.

Thousands of slaves have lost their lives for less yet Ameera's insolence might actually have her killed this time if this gets to the king.

"My prince please let me take her to the slave's quarter," Samiha said agitatedly.

"Why?"  The prince asked with a raised brow.

"If the king or queen is to find out about how you feel about her, she will not live to see another day," she said politely.

The prince contemplated the words of Samiha and he knew, she was right. His sister has been looking for a way to get rid of Ameera. What better way than to inform the king that he conveyed a slave in his arms to his chambers.

"Take her to her chamber. Once the physician arrives, I will call for you to take the medication he will bring so you can apply it to her wounds" he said to her in a dispirited voice.

"Yes, my prince" she bows happy the prince listened to her.

"Rayan help Samiha move Ameera to the slave's quarter and do it gently. Don't rouse her or hurt her" he said to his personal guard.

Rayan growled inwardly. This girl is trouble and I can't wait for her to leave already. She has been nothing but trouble since she came.

Even now, he is in disfavour in Samiha's eyes for the reason that he always says his mind to her.

Samiha values and loves her so much that she tries to save her even at the expense of getting herself in trouble.

"Yes, my prince" he lifts Ameera from the prince's bed and thereafter follows Samiha to the slave's quarter.

Samiha pushed the door to Ameera's tiny room open for Rayan. She quickly rush to change the sheet with the ones she collected from the prince's chamber on her small bed.

Rayan gently place her on the bed after Samiha dressed it. He wanted to throw it on the bed but he suppress his anger by doing the opposite of what he wanted.

A knock is heard at the door and Rayan moves to answer the door. Collect the medicine from a servant sent by the prince.

He thrusts the medicine bottle to Samiha who is busy fussing over Ameera's wound.

"If you are done, you can get out"Samiha gritted out to Rayan.

Rayan feels his face heat up in annoyance at the audacity that Samiha has to order him out.

"Are you forgetting something Samiha?"

She answers him with pure anger in her glare and if eyes could kill, Rayan wouldn't make it out of Ameera's room.

He couldn't control himself anymore, suddenly he grabs Samiha to him, whispering to her "don't forget you are my woman and I should always be your top priority before anyone" turning his eyes to the lifeless Ameera.

Slowly opening her eyes, Ameera concentrated on her surrounding trying to pinpoint where she was.

Finally grasping she is in her room, she focuses her attention on the silhouette of two figures in a tight embrace.

Blood rushed to her face seeing her close-knitted they were to each other not bothering to hide the disgust in her voice.

She seethed out in pure animosity" if you two are done, get out of my room" she said losing focus.

"Did you hear that? Was this not the same person you were fretting over just now? See her tone and how she repays you" Rayan said to Samiha.

"She is right, we shouldn't be here and I will be angry if I woke up to see strangers by my bedside in such proximity" she dislodge herself from his arms and left the room.

Rayan stays back watching Ameera then he said " you might be a beautiful angel but you are cursed as the demons of this world"

Ameera still struggling to keep consciousness heard and retaliated "at least I can gladly say I am not a two-faced angel like you that is more or less than a demon" she gazed at him coldly daring him to say more.

"You... You" he stammered storming out of the room in annoyance.

Immediately he left, Ameera gave herself to the darkness that has been trying to suffocate her.

Meanwhile, the princess has been pondering on her end over the language she had heard from Ameera.

No longer able to contain herself, she asked Soha.

"Soha,"

"Yes, princess"

"Do you know of the dialect, Ameera was crying in? It sounds familiar yet I can't remember where I have heard it" she voiced out.

"Oh that, it is called the Greek language and it is the mother tongue of the people of Novoland" she answers her.

"Novoland?"

"Yes, princess"

"Does that mean she is from Novoland?"

"I believe so princess, there is no other explanation to how she is so fluent in the language," Soha said.
