Chief Healer

Priest Erasmus walked outside but before he could leave he looked back at Princess Eleanor one last time.

But he could not see her. All Priest Erasmus could see was the Princess's lady in waiting. 

"Take care of the Princess," Priest Erasmus said to Nia as he walked outside.

Nia closed the door and her back touched the metal in relief. She felt thankful that the Priest had gone and she was alone.

Nia walked towards Princess Eleanor who looked at the medicine that the healers had applied to her. A smile formed on her face as she moved her dress a little more up. 

Nia could see the dagger on Princess Eleanor's tight strap attached by a strap. Princess Eleanor's hand rubbed around it as if she was admiring it, but soon she moved her dress down to its original position.

Nia was silent. She knew why the Princess had refused to move the dress up and started talking about the culture. She wanted to hide the dagger.
